Index funds are market cap weighted. As companies fail, as they always do (median lifespan of S&P companies is about 15 years), you have less of it.
I hope AI can one day confer a great benefit to mankind, perhaps at an award-winning level.
My standard advice: For any young programmers: live within your means, invest the difference, become independent, and work on what you enjoy. It’s the best (work related) gift you can give yourself. Skip the self…
Why’d they give up? They should have just made a 1/5 pound burger.
OP, listen to this. You may be giving lots of nonverbal signals. It’s not necessarily a simple conversation hack that can be described in text.
At this point, anyone calling AI a trend sounds like someone calling electricity a trend. Believe it or not, there are paradigm shifts in technology every now and then. Not everything is 3D television.
Similarly, in every thread there’s an AI skeptic who says LLMs are “useless” for coding, and never provides an example query for what they were trying.
Thank you for sharing. For any young programmers: live within your means, invest the difference, become independent, and work on what you enjoy. It’s the best (work related) gift you can give yourself.
Even then, brokers just show a percent loss of -100%. Our buddy would never see the cool infinity symbol. It’s too bad they aren’t a fan of dollar cost averaging into broad index funds, I think their older self would…

X to 0 is an interesting definition of unlimited.
Take a look at the latest Llama and Phi models. They get comparable MMLU performance for ~10% of the parameters. Not to mention the cost/flop and cost/gb for GPUs has dropped. You aren’t trying to run an old 2023 model…

Your index fund grows on the activity of people who spend 100k on a consumable item. Good for them, they can work their whole life if they like. You can relax and let compounding do the rest.
My 2c if helpful: the solution was to question deeper assumptions. Why are you at a desk? Because you have to work 8 hours. Why? Because your job requires it. Why do you have that job? Because you need income to live.…
If you were sincere you’d share a single transcript where the AI was completely useless for solving your problem. “This new search engine sucks it can’t find anything”. “Share what you searched for” “No”
For employees the mid/long term solution is to seek FI so you can do your creative work without the meta-game of managing perceptions.
100%. It’s a good example of how the media wants to entertain, not inform. The DJIA is a price-weighted index and doesn’t track dividends, yet is somehow supposed to reflect investor sentiment.
Land is a shared, zero-sum resource: a parking lot is not a park. Your software development methodology is your own. Why does someone else’s use of a tool deprive you of doing things the way you want?
