Not sure if it makes sense for me to run it to ground since I got it used from Hertz car sale in May of 2023. If sold I might get a Model Y instead.

• Clay Magouyrk: Received options valued at $621.7 million with a $308.46 strike price.
• Mike Sicilia: Received options valued at $248.7 million with a $308.46 strike price.
• Larry Ellison: Received a package valued at $117.8 million with a $280 strike price.
• Current Status: Oracle shares dropped roughly 53% to around $137, leaving these stock options without intrinsic value.

If they are truly desparate, something needs to be done.

And we still use two/three/four completed different VPNs... guys, any of you can talk to some leadership and let them try working here as an IC for just one day? This confluence vs github vs cerner wiki is driving me crazy.

Then will you still be looking to jump ship? And if so - whether the thing is real or not just doesn’t matter. Everyone, go find something else elsewhere and get over with this non-stop posting of nonsense.

We used to store cash/coin, not even that anymore. You log in an app, seeing a number… and wth is that? Sure you can buy stuff using that number but after all, what is “money” in today’s world?

Wife got paycheck as usual - but with some 2000+ more than normal amount. We were puzzled, and examine the paystub to realize oh there is a referral bonus. Thing is, we don’t remember who she referred… or if she ever referred anyone. Now we were like should we ask Hr? If it is indeed a mistake, will employer claw back that money? Anyone had similar experience please advise.

Am I safe now? Should I expect my employment to continue beyond that speculated layoff?

Is the whole reason behind the concept is to make sure you save for it ahead of time?

The $107k short-term gain is expensive

At your income, most of that $107k is landing at roughly:

• 35–37% federal ordinary rate,
• +3.8% NIIT,
• +roughly 10–11.3% California.

So I’d reserve about:

~$54k–$56k of tax against the $107k short-term gain

meaning its after-tax economic contribution is only around $51k–$53k.

NIIT is 3.8% on investment income for MFJ taxpayers once MAGI exceeds $250k. 

and it just demotivates me ever since last Friday - I am moving mountains to make profitable trades yet the most of the gains are going to the government …

and if so … did you regret that move?

when I say high paying job I meant salaried position that pays about 200k+ base plus equity, and lower pay imho is 200k- base with little or no equity.

This is my GPT response -

When I said:

“AGI”

what I really meant was something closer to:

A machine system capable of robust adaptation, learning, planning, and problem-solving across a very wide range of domains.

That’s still a human-centric yardstick because humans are the only example of broad intelligence we know.

But you’re right that there’s no guarantee the endpoint looks human.

In fact, if machine intelligence ultimately surpasses human intelligence by a large margin, I’d expect it not to look human. Human cognition would then be viewed as one particular evolutionary solution among many possible ways for information-processing systems to model, preserve, and improve themselves over time.

And from that perspective, the most profound question in AI may not be:

“How do we make machines think like humans?”

It may be:

“What are the possible forms that intelligence can take, and is human intelligence merely one local optimum in a much larger design space?”

And knowing that is from prediction of human language thru a token based system, I am deeply interested in other human's thoughts, if any.
