Is there a vaccine I can take that will give me autism? I don’t want to pay taxes.

I think they named it Cursor because after your vibe code generated slop gets written, you start cursing your entire way through trying to fix the issues it created
April 13, 2025 at 2:16 PM
The writing/editing of code was never the roadblock for efficiency when writing code. It’s always been about how fast you can problem solve. Instead of truly understanding the options available for the problem you’re trying to solve, Cursor chooses for you and 1/2

I’m having the toughest time picking a desktop framework to use for a trading app I want to build.

I want it to be cross platform (mobile, web too), performant, and have access to great graphing libs.

The best ones I’ve found are on .NET, but I’m looking at rust too. Anyone have recommendations?

If you were ever wondering what stock market manipulation looks like, look at what just happened with Trump’s recent pause on tariff announcement and look at the price of the stock market before and after.

Well the market just flew upwards because Trump just announced a 90 day pause on tariffs for all countries besides China. This might end up being a man made “v shape recovery”. I wonder how many of his billionaire buddies knew he was going to do this.
We still have a lot of room to fall in the stock market and we have no signs that we won’t continue going down for the foreseeable future. (Nothing has changed).

Prepare accordingly. I won’t be selling, but I won’t be buying yet either.

Anyway with these AI coding experiments I’ve been doing, it’s good to know my skepticism isn’t simply just being old and cranky for the sake of being old and cranky: my instincts (that they’re being oversold by people who have incentives to do so) is still correct

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Can a president be impeached for making the stock market crash?
April 4, 2025 at 8:13 PM
Good point.
It’s so silly that tech people keep saying that we’re on the verge of a full artificial intelligence takeover and yet most automatic soap dispensers can’t tell hand from not hand half the time.

Last night it dropped hard again. Is this the only president that actively tries to ruin the stock market?

What’s your 401k going to look like after Trump’s Liberation Day announcement at 4pm today? 👀

Today, we are being liberated from the burden of economic prosperity and growth!

Happy Liberation Day!

“When you can’t state your innocence, reclaim your ignorance” - feels like the theme of modern society.

Trump is calling April 2nd “liberation day”, the day tariffs start. He is literally mad. Someone hide the nuclear codes!

There is no point trying to scale programming with agents if you can’t get one chatbot to do what you want it to do. I use LLMs to code and they are constantly screwing up and require intervention. Autonomous “vibe coding” makes this 10x worse.
