I'm mainly glad that I'm retired and don't have to learn or compete with AI tools for a living. I actually wrote a seminar paper on the different depictions of AGI in Science Fiction when I was finishing my Bachelors degree. But I don't really see what I could do to affect or prepare for any...

I flew for the first time in like 20 years, a couple of months ago, because I needed to sign some legal stuff in Portugal. Never really saw the point of flying or going on vacation.

The information that the Nasdaq page you referenced is the information you have. Vanguard collects dividends from the thousands of stocks included in the fund and disburses them around the end of each quarter. There are no guarantees, they announce the dollar amount each share of the ETF...

I'll check it out. My diet is definitely not great, but I'm supplementing that as well with HumanTonik shakes. Probably not as good as sorting out the base diet, but it takes less effort and is probably better than not doing anything at all.

I'm curious if anyone here has any experience nootropics, that is, substances that enhance cognitive performance or health. I have a tendency to want to optimize things, the operation of my mind seems like a pretty important thing to want to focus on. I remember reading up on various substances...

Yeah, those movies keep getting worse and worse. Well, that's why the drones need AI to operate them when the control signal is jammed which brings us back to Binkov just released a video about the situation in Ukraine. So far in videos from Ukraine I've seen missile-launching drones...

I'm no physicist, but that sounds like exactly the opposite of what I know of relativistic reference frames. The whole point is that an event can only be in the observer's past after the effects propagated to them at the speed of light, taking into account how spacetime is warped by the...

I've never done it myself, but here's what I'm getting on my Max card.

On the subject of supplements, I've been taking the Human Tonik supplements for the last three months or so. I kept seeing sponsored ads for Athletic Greens on Youtube, and they did make me think I don't have enough vegetables in my diet, but I didn't want to reward the aggressive advertising...

The way I see it, drawing from my recent experience transferring money to buy an apartment abroad, a combination of IB and Schwab works pretty well. IB is good for moving and converting currencies between accounts that are on your name, plus relatively cheap margin. Schwab gives you a debit...

Why does basing the commission on the value make any more sense to you than the cent per share? The broker is doing the same thing, changing some values in a database, it's not any harder for the computer to do that whether the value is a million or a one. When I had my stocks at the bank they...

I'm in the process of doing the same thing right now. So far what I did with the down-payment (10% of the value of the asset) was transfer USD to Schwab, and then transfer EUR from Schwab to the seller. I'm not sure that the conversion fee was at Schwab, I only see the $15 wire fee. For the rest...

Maybe French Toast, if it's not completely dry.

I retired about two years ago, moved two apartments in that time (the most recent one because the owners sold the previous one) Didn't have any issues, one wanted a 3 months worth of security deposit, and the other wanted two guarantors and a month's worth of security deposit. About repairs...

Sounds like the beets have negative utility to you and removing them from your life as quickly and decisively as possible will be a net positive.
