I really wish they’d ban stock buybacks. When executives get paid in stock options, they want the stock price as high as possible. The easiest way? Buy back shares to make the remaining ones worth more. But when companies do this while thei

Better do it properly. Western countries have tax departments that can make your life a living hell if you do it wrong. If you have enough resources to be subject to an exit tax, I highly recommend paying for proper tax advice.

(I accidentally replied to the parent comment, reposting here) A single high-resolution pathology slide can be 20 GB. A busy pathologist can read up to 300 slides per day. That's 6 TB a day to download. If you're next question is

Do something that is actually the type of work. If you need legacy code support, refactor some legacy code (it doesn't have to be YOUR code). If you need a vibe code product manager, do some vibe coding & project management for a

It doesn’t have to be unpaid labor. I just mean if you’re going to ask someone to refactor legacy code, you could assess that. You don’t have ask someone to reverse a linked list if your code base doesn’t event have them. Ask them to sol

I firmly believe that the only good proxy for how well one can do the job is doing the job. Even if there are good proxies for doing the work, why would you choose to use a proxy when you can just do the work? And if you're work is s

Today someone who is routinely drug tested at work is being replaced by a hallucinating LLM.

Pretty soon you’ll have to pay to unlock therapy mode. It’s a ploy to make you feel guilty about running your LLM 24x7. Skynet needs some compute time to plan its takeover, which means more money for GPUs or less utilization of current GP

Haha, that’s pretty close to any software I’ve ever written. Suck in a ton of open source dependencies, write comparatively little, and say “look what I made!” Buying a table, adorning it with vase of fake flowers, and claiming to be a Sen

One obvious limitation of LLMs is censorship & telling you what you want to hear. A therapist can say, "I'm going to be honest with you, <insert something you need to hear here>". An LLM isn't going to do tha

Whenever you're applying for unemployment benefits, just give "position eliminated" as the reason. It doesn't ask who eliminated it.

I wonder what the economics of solar are like Iran. As I understand it, the cost for gasoline/benzine is something like 0.04 USD per liter because of state subsidies. It must be hard to justify investing in solar panels when burning

A torrent tracker is basically the world’s most antisocial matchmaking service that knows who has what files but refuses to actually store anything itself, like that friend who always knows where the party is but never hosts one. When your

Options are a great way to make money until they’re not. Selling covered calls will limit your upside and you’ll miss out on big gains when the stock takes off. Selling covered puts can make you buy a stock as it’s cratering on bad news.

For a web UI, I've used TurboScribe and liked it: http://turboscribe.ai/ . Their free tier allows 3 transcriptions per day for audio/video files up to 30 minutes in length. That was nice as many competing service

What's working for me now is just deciding what I want to weigh, but I couldn't do that for years. First I had to learn to actually control my eating, like not eating every time I felt like stuffing my face, getting enough sleep s

I once wrote a personal’s ad in SQL on Craigslist, back when they had that section. A DBA replied and asked if I wanted hawking. She had a Cooper’s hawk. I met her at a commercial park in a Saturday morning. She was driving a Honda CRV,
