Definitely not a good 2026 so far. My insurance went up almost 10 times!! (from $114 to $1132 and I only make around $2k a month doing tech documentation) #healthinsurance

Anthem just fucked me over by denying my claim. I went to get an MRI, and was told it would be $8. Now it's $463. I don't believe in violence but Luigi was definitely trying to make a point. Health Insurance is fraud at this point. #healthinsurance

The Voynich Manuscript wasn't in my bingo card for "Daily AI prompts from Midjourney." It was only a short time ago that scholars discovered Christine de Pisan most likely wrote it. #voynichmanuscript #midjourney

When I hit the speaker icon on ChatGPT, the American accent is Southern-ish, the Russian is mid, but the French is just pronounced with an American accent. Gemini is better with the French (still sounds more AI) but Frenchifies the Russian. YouTube exclusivité ftw.

WTF, Meta? $25 / hour is not a living wage in NYC for a data labeler that knows both English + Polish.

RIP Lamy Store in SF. It was one of the best experiences I had for just buying a fountain pen. It shutters June 15, 2025.

Unfollowed & blocked the-pentaxian - an account that's the reason why I left flickr and then Instagram and then all these other photo apps to get here. Right now I'm working on some game theory theorems that I'll turn into code that warns people when they're creating social media that enables harm.

I fed Gemini AI information about the US president. I asked Gemini the odds of the US president being a Russian asset: very likely, e.g. 80-95% likelihood based on the ICD 203 standard. If there was such a thing as foreign asset insurance, I would put all my money in it. #geminiai #tradecraft

I closed this position for profit, and then re-opened at 35.50 where I'm hoping the stock market continues to price in tariffs on 3/12. Stop loss at 34.64 or 36.62 on #alcoa AA. #technicalanalysis #stockmarket #tradingview #stocks

I opened a long position on AA that I'll hold until close on Monday. I'm pretty confident there will be a bounce, and honestly whenever that guy tweets, it pushes AA up (one of the few folks that will win in a trade war). #stockmarket #technicalanalysis #tradingview #stocks
