Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

Yes. What we already do with virtual machine deployment for release management.

Though my naive reading of the other part is that Claude can execute. I thought that was the bright line that we were never supposed to cross? We can have SkyNet tell us what to do, but the moment it can do it itself we're toast.

Got my taxes done today after finally getting my K-1 from my old job. We itemized for the first time in about a half dozen years with the increased allowance for the SALT deduction. So thank you to all the MAGAts out there for lowering these attorneys' tax bill at the expense of your healthcare and roads, not to mention your fertilizer costs and crop prices.

Now to turn to my parents' taxes. Worst case scenario I file for an extension on that, but I think I should be able to get last year's done on my own. Definitely hiring a CPA for the estate going forward, though. And trying to figure out estimated taxes for the inheritance going forward will be a peach.

Just because you're college educated doesn't mean you should be dealing with options, futures, etc. The vast majority will still do better in the long run by having a diversified portfolio of equities and bonds that they contribute to regularly and then just let grow passively.

Futures are great until you owe some random angry voice on the phone 1,000 barrels of crude in Oklahoma.

*theyre not. You can and likely will lose an assload of cash very quickly. The market makers for these things are way, way, way better than any of us.

Yes and no.

To a commercial or industrial production instance, yeah, probably still true. For average user? Nah. I use Claude to push right to my production environment all the time at home. I’ve never used it to do something like “turn on the lights”

But mostly because that it’s extremely “expensive.” The token allocation is absolutely wasted on something as pedestrian as that. You can do scripts and even local voice processing if you’re at that level. Would I if I had unlimited usage for cheap? Yeah, probably. Because Siri and Alexa are relatively poor at translating these natural language prompts beyond structured “<action> <named device> <state>” compared to “ack, too bright” or “warmer light please”

So......when the stock market's doing good under a Dem president, it doesn't really indicate how the economy's doing.

But if it's doing good under a Republican president it IS an indicator of how the economy's doing.

But if it's doing poorly under a Republican president, then again, it doesn't really show how the economy's doing.

Have I got that right?
