You don't need stock based comps, insane salaries and selling your soul to your employer to build wealth. You just need to live within your means and invest your money.

I have a conspiracy theory that Anthropic is very busy pumping their moat prior to IPO. There are absolutely wild rumors swirling on X including one about Anthropic AI research solving cancer treatments for all types of cancer.

It's funny seeing the doom and gloom cycles over Google's AI future on HN. Google was basically considered dead business not even a year ago on here. If there is one thing true it's that HN has always had a habit of conflating engineering sentiment with business reality.

Equally interesting to me is how Citadel made up a rumor about the FED raising rates at this weeks FOMC meeting causing a historic selloff in AI stocks which then allowed them to pick up Situational Awareness on the cheap.

> Mirza Ghasemi: A smoked eggplant dish cooked with garlic, tomatoes, and eggs, from the Caspian Sea area.

Eggplant is one of those incredible veggies that seemingly not a lot of people know what to do with. You can bake it on a grill or your cooktop stove to give it that amazing smokey taste. I often eat it as-is without adding anything else but pairing with eggs takes it to the next level. There is another dish from that same general region called Ajapsandali which is probably one of the tastiest breakfast meals you'll ever eat if you like eggplant.

I've seen men shed their egos and women become incredible caretakers when they're with their children and they carry some of that joyfulness, compassion and humanity into the world they occupy. It's a sad world without kids.

BT's moat is data. 40 years of data engineering, building relationship with data providers, consuming direct exchange feeds, building proprietary data sets, normalizing and cleaning decades of historical data. Displacing BT is a gargantuan effort.

When I was a teenager I always had Knoppix on a floppy disk in my bag to do illicit things on school computers :)

Does loss of muscle mass, commonly associated with Ozempic weight loss, become an issue after regaining the weight? Can it result in proportionally more fat at the same body weight as before if exercise wasn't part of the regiment?

This seems to be the answer. Building a rig with a decent graphics card will cost $2k+ and will produce sub-par results. Might as well milk the $100/m Claude sub until open-source alternatives reach parity with today's frontier models.
