    I swear I saw a version of this years ago on one of the popular tech blags like Coding Horror or Joel On Software. I briefly looked for it the other day and couldn't find it. Anyone happen to remember it? I think it was mainly about salaries and when stock options would vest.

      If you live in New York, life will get complex without building supplementary passive income from a young age.

      If people live a slow-burn lifestyle, buy revenue property one can later demolish as needed, park unused cash in index funds, and split 7% between bullion & high-risk. Most folks will be fine when things eventually go sideways.

      Some people like to gamble, but they usually don't talk about their mistakes. =3

        I just saw a cnn headline in the lobby about people who are looking to sell their family home to buy ai stock

        They sure talk about mistakes before they happen

          I am not Bullish on LLM firms given the -$2.50 profit per $1 revenue, or several trillion USD debt buried on page 60 of their reports. They can go be awesome without my cash, and I will cheer them on.

          Note, whomever floated that home-equity loan will be happy with their won profits. They win-win even if the loan defaults. Not everyone is so lucky... =3

            Inference is pretty cheap, and easy to deploy while open models exist.
