    Surprised the markets didn't dump because of no debt-ceiling deal on Sunday. Guess it doesn't care.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I've owned several Fords over the years and they've all been solid vehicles. Currently drive a 18 Mustang GT and has been flawless.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I'm 1 of 2 developers on my team. We've finished our feature and the product is going through several rounds of final testing. The company implemented a new QMS (quality management system) that has an enormous amount of red tape and hoops to jump through to get the product validated for...

    Is it super odd or just my ignorance that different markets are behaving wildly different? Nasdaq strong, S&P breaking out, Dow Jones doing nothing, Russel looks super weak, and financials getting ready to fall off a cliff.

    Time Travel: What would you do?

    Id incremetally go forward in time. Maybe 25 years or so, looking for Star Trek era. Skipping any nuclear holocausts.

    Super Mario Bros. (2022)

    If you jerk off to Nintendo then you'll love this. Was more for kids I think. I can see someone not familiar with the characters and games thinking WTF is going on. Cat suits, flying bombs, go karts, etc. Probably weird as fuck from their perspective.

    Would you pay for Facebook or Twitter? I wouldn't. Twitter could conceivably have a "read-only" mode for non-paying accounts which I'd be fine with. But Facebook couldn't operate this way.

    AI Image Generation

    I've mentioned this elsewhere, but what will happen when Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. etc. are filled with fake accounts? Fake accounts so realistic that users won't be able to tell who is real and who isn't? How will advertisers react when these sites can't accurately state their actual...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    Yeah but not everyone has the time and patience to play with legos. Elden Ring I can easily look up a guide for a build, restat, boom done. I'm definitely not going to look up "How to build Optimus Prime" in Tears.

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    But in Elden Rings favor, BotW doesn't have classes and respective builds for them. You're Link and all Links are the same beyond what kind of stuff you fuse together to use. Not sure if the combat in BotW is as varied as ER either.

    I did and it's not really worth it imo. Elden Ring pulled me in much harder than this. Different type of game, of course, but that's how I feel.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    I'm not so sure. Maybe if they're complete morons. But I learned pretty damn quickly to double check anything it spits out. From what little I've played with Bard, it seems completely inferior to ChatGPT.

    The Deus ex machina female assassin was a little over the top. But overall, a fun series. Was good to see Kiefer doing something again.

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    My attitude towards Tears, on a technical level, is sort of like Elden Ring on a base PS4. I was incredibly impressed they were pulling it off on such old hardware. So, if you frame it like that, it's pretty good!

    Yeah, I understand that. I'm not expecting to be blown away technically. It is fun, though. Just a shame the world couldn't have been realized in 4K.

    Vanguard recently opened up a high yield money account. I immediately moved the bulk of my Wells Fargo savings account into it. This is another thing that's killing banks as they're not capable of offering this yet.

    I think it would be a viable strategy to, if the market gaps down in the morning, immediately buy calls and sell later in the day.

    ChatGTP as a tool

    I've used ChatGPT to help write Lua scripts (a language I'm not familiar with) and to aid in constructing RxJS expressions and Angular components. Nothing super duper complicated, but it's been extremely beneficial. Usually does things in a way I didn't consider.
