Market Cap: Tesla (TSLA): ~$1.4T GameStop (GME): ~$9.7B

If anything, GME is a meme.

I also gave my bias so as a way to ignore me.

I have been encouraging people to think about agentic coding in the same way.

Let agents do the reading and writing and inspections. Human does the thinking.

Asking an agent that is looking at a firearm specification schematic "what is wrong with this?" and the response is "this thing contains an explosion and can kill". Human "that's the function" when the human should be asking "based upon the materials used, are the fault tolerances sufficient to maintain structural integrity".

Disclaimer: My portfolio is 65% Tesla.

Bad actor at plaid gets access to X accounts. Then sells data? Does unauthorized transfers? Create political or religious dossier on every account?

I assume my balance would be returned if someone hacked but what if they wrote checks with signatures which is fraud and that's different. My understanding is no. Fraud doesn't return the balance.

I have my money in 3 accounts. Most I lose is 33% of my total wealth.

The alternative that illegals in the area use are gold and cash and those ladies get mugged and robbed constantly because others know they stash their valuables on their neck and under their bed.

Without a bank the options are limited. Everything is online. Swiss accounts are toast. Crypto has similar problems as gold. Storage and protection is complicated.

I'm inclined to build an LLC type asset and insure the liquidity or something.

All my info can be purchased or captured through my phone or mail and that is enough info to write a check or take out a loan of $50k in my name.

I am not sure the laws and banks protect me in the event someone successfully claims to be me. I wouldn't mind mandatory in person wet signatures for anything over $1k-5k or >5% of my account

I do not find parenting that difficult because I parent differently.

The alternative: Teach them to entertain themselves. They clean up their own messes. I have the kiddos do tasks with me. Babies are easy enough, toddlers need limited stuff to do as it is all about novelty. Kids 5+ can learn to entertain themselves with their talents, siblings, neighbors.

We could debate the idea of status, happiness, and motives although we would split ideas into atoms until there is nothing of substance to discuss.

I will answer your question: What sort of dividends - at one point I wanted a specific title, degree, job type until a discussion and decision I had one day that lead me to take a different approach. There are many exercises that determine your true motive. You are offered a job at 4x your income. No one will know your name and your work has no value outside of income. Would you take it? You are offered your dream job, title, schedule, etc at 50% of your current income. Would you take it? Once you find the combination of values in the equation you discover what makes you happy. Me: No stress. Work from home. Using my skills at least 50% of the time. Zero tracking of hours.

The teacher (Mr. R) was a math teacher. He lived in his bubble and my guess is he had no children, or no boys. I had excessive mental energy without a proper outlet or direction. I managed to change every Apple 'error' sound to an annoying rendition of his name (Mr.R) would ring out on every computer until it was corrected.

While I may have been smarter and more talented than him - I was not above him in any respect during school. He had more experience and grounding in life - of which he offered me zero.

In hindsight I wish he did the following, which is how I behave today with others; ask hard questions and give them direction to meet their goals.

I do not blame my parents for their inability to see I was in the top 2% of intelligence. I cannot blame the teacher really either. Each of us have potential to be wonderful at something. We need to learn what it is and have the ability to use our talent. I finally learned my talent despite my desire for status. I ignored status, adopted the idea that I need to to develop my talent, and it has now paid off dividends.

Being happy is actually very simple, just not easy. Do the things that make you happy.

Me in math class in 1996 - I had a TI-82 things are programmable so I have no formal education, my parents are illiterate, and taught myself to program, and I begged them to buy me one.

I spent time learning how to code on it, writing from scratch, the game Spyhunter.

I couldn't figure out how to draw with lines or pixels so I used ASCII or text.

I presented this to my teacher who told me "these aren't for games". I was crushed.

That 1.3% or about 5 days is my vacation.

I went' from ~60% free time to 1% and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I wasn't a father until late in life and then all of a sudden, everything is easy.

The moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep, every moment has meaning and purpose. Nothing, no meal, no evening, no dollar is wasted.

As my children grow - the only question is how long do I have until I have grandchildren. After that - how long until I no longer have skin in the game?

I do full time AI stuff and it is meaningless other than the provision it provides.

I would not recommend avoiding the biological imperative. Reproduce. Everything else after that moment is clarity.

Governance is the biggest concern at this point - with proper logging, and integration to 3rd party services that provide inspection and DLP type threat mitigation.

I do the former for fun. The latter to provide for my family.

There is a reason old men take on hobbies like woodworking and fixing old cars and other stuff that has been replaced by technology.

In my understanding of the OP, juggling 'one' is being able to throw an object consistently to another hand without handing it. This is an intentional throw of the ball from one hand to another without "moving" the other hand to compensate.

Throwing from one hand to another, either directly or in an arc, requires the motorskills to move an object consistently while understanding the speed, trajectory, and then moving the other hand to receive (not catch) it as expected.

There are multiple elements at play with 3 object juggling. One must throw an arc toss to the other hand, while holding an object, then throwing the object in said hand to free the hand to catch. In reality you are holding two objects with one in motion - until you get the double arc which is now technically juggling.

Three bodies in motion, two hands that are each making circular or figure eight motions, while maintaining a consistent arc and speed (XY (no Z) + T = arc) where the mind either tracks or forgets allowing the predictable movements work themselves into only tracking one object at a time - by setting it's path and then shifting focus or attention to the next.
