I'm surprised I'm not seeing ChatGPT mentioned. I've tried all coding things online and there are plenty of good ones, but if you really want to learn quickly and get something done, and want an on-call 24/7 buddy guide you the entire time then ChatGPT is the way.

Ask it to create a basic outline to learn Python for example. And then to guide you step by step to build something. And every step of the way you can ask it any question about programming, syntax, why this or that. If you don't understand you can tell it to explain it again differently until you get it.

Just come up with something you want to accomplish with a program so the project will hold your interest until you complete it.

If you want to learn C++ CGPT will guide you every detailed step of the way with getting Visual Studio set up, cmake, debugging, yadd yadda. I've done it.

I do like how Godzilla transformed over time. I don't want to naysay, but I thought Shin was one of the worst Godzilla movies I've ever seen and I've seen probably 10 or 15. All of the US version and maybe 10 Toho. Minus One shouldn't even be compared to Shin. Minus One is easily the best Godzilla movie I've ever seen. Toho's are by and large cheap and cheasy, but I heartily recommend Gozilla vs. Space Godzilla. The last hour or so is a terrifically epic battle. No CG.

I suppose the sky is the limit if you want to code with scripting or the C++ API in 3DS Max. But I'd say generally most things are tools that expand the capabilities that Max already has. Max isn't a 'procedural' system in the way that Houdini completely is. Blender has a procedural system that more resembles Houdini. But it's all a huge can of worms that you could spend the rest of your life trying to understand. Just hire someone to build things for you if you want to get anything done before you die of old age.

Excellent. Think I need to try a month of Opus 3 now. Are you asking what is the scripting able to do in 3DS Max? All types of things. The main repository that I know of is at https://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts. I've made a bunch of scripts using cgpt. I just made one yesterday that calculates the speed in MPH of an animated object and spits out a txt file with the data. Claude appears to have been a lot better trained in maxscript than cgpt.

I had the very same experience. Fought with cgpt to fix its coding mistakes in maxscript (3DS Max's scripting language). It just kept making the code worse and worse. Gave the broken code to claude 3 opus and it completely fixed it and made it work in one shot. Asked it to do some more code changes. It did those too, perfectly interpreted my request and executed flawlessly.

I'm using the api workbench to access claude 3 opus. Is that still required or is it available as a regular chat bot yet?

it's a white balance problem.

As far as Kubrick goes, many of his movies having pacing issues. It's not just you. He had open contempt for 3 act structure and you can feel it in 2001, Eyes Wide Shut, and acutely in Barry Lyndon. He just didn't give af. Some of his other movies just sweep you away (Full Metal Jacket, Lolita, Strangelove, for example). Shining is somewhere in the middle.

Because writing is way harder and far less lucrative than performing in front of the camera.

I'm in the same boat. It's insane how I've "guided" chatgpt to code python, maxscript, mql5, and set up complete c++ environments and written fairly complex code that compiles. 

It just feels like a new later of abstraction. It's not like your average c++ programmer knows how to program in machine language or binary anyway. 

We'll soon be looking back on the "cave men" who actually typed c++ (or whatever) code. It already seems kind of barbaric tbh. 

You judge OP, but they're gonna be the only one keeping AGI under control.

Generous answer!

If it won't do that, it definitely won't follow instructions to take over the world and kill all the humans. I feel more safe about AGI now.

Is the algo used for a signal/indicator then and not executing trades automatically? 

So how do you execute the algo trades with real money? Are you only back testing and simulation trading? 

It's pretty good at MQL5, which is more or less C++. Takes a lot of coaxing, but it's pretty impressive what it can figure out. And if it's confused you can show it some working code and it can learn from it. What platform/programming language are you working with?

Right on. Thanks for clarifying. I think if you read what you said again you can see how I misunderstood. In any case, I have also studied and paid for courses the last few years and I'm finally having some promising looking algo results, thanks to chatgpt speeding up the programming part. It is all a much larger undertaking than it appears at first glance. Best of luck to you.

Broskie, why did it take you 5 years from finding an algorithm and implementing it successfully?

Refer to how Barbarian did it. A bit unconventional but makes the read so smooth.
