Time to rewrite Rust’s unwrap() in Rust obviously.

Blogs aren’t yelling to the world. They’re just a place you put your thoughts for other people to read or not read. Think of it like open source internal monologue.

If youre too young to have context for blogging then it’s not your fault. The intent of “blogs” is generally indeed advertising now a days.

This’ll sound harsh: Your landing page doesn’t do a great job of telling me why I want to use your tool. How is the simulation done? Do you mean you account for common historic market trends or just added some hysteresis? Is it just a pretty coat of paint on an interest rate tracker?

Is this open source? If I can’t audit the code, and it isn’t from my bank, a program is not getting my financial information.

Put privacy front and center on the homepage. Put why it’s better than google sheets or excel.

I think they're mostly just hype junkies and a few true believers. They're a lot like the crypto people. "Sure it doesn't really actually entirely work for what we want it to but SOMEDAY!"

If it was an accounting firm doing an audit and sending you lies, then yeah you could hold them responsible. If an OTC drug had incorrect labeling and misinformed you, you'd be able to hold them responsible.

If you ask an AI a question and it replies with incorrect information... dunno. Probably would be argued that it is similar to reading a forum post of incorrect information or picking the wrong book to research a topic. Kinda on you if you're doing the research.

You really should use a law firm to manage anything you want passed on after you die.

Trying to come up with your own solution to this is a very "roll your own auth" approach to such an important thing.

You have a sovereign citizen vibe to your whole wall of text style of "ask" post.

Very odd.
