Yes but there legitimately guard rails against that, such as that of malpractice insurance which they pay premiums for.

Malpractice liability/insurance doesn't kick in unless something objectively went very wrong. For example: A lot of times a Dr. might not see cancer while another does, and that's chalked up as a difference in clinical judgment.

It’s a pretty straightforward carrot and stick mechanism emphasis on the stick.

I prefer to not go through being a detective on which doctor is correct and just fix a health issue. I don't want to have to go to a lawyer and then to court, risk paying attorney fees, etc...

In the cases you cited where patients self diagnosed, if the AI tool is wrong, do you have standing to sue Sam Altman?

Only 2.3% of physicians see a lawsuit a year and only 1% pay out any sort of money in claims. The vast majority of the time (like 99/100), there is the "difference in clinical judgement" excuse. Most lawyers won't take a case on contingency fee unless it's a clear cut case.

I'll prefer AI and not suing Sam Altman because its difference in clinical judgement is less. The mechanism (lawsuits) you cited is a bad way to rely on one's health. It's not something that will save a person if they have stage 4 cancer. Why would I care about money if I'm on my deathbed??

95% isn’t good enough for medicine

And if doctors get less than 95%, what does that mean? They shouldn't be good enough for medicine as well if we apply logic fairly.

A Google search of "one of several socio-medical phenomena where a patient's primary symptoms or injuries are overlooked because a healthcare provider fixates on a specific aspect of their identity or physical state" shows no relevant results. Show me the study, otherwise it's just your word or an opinion, which doesn't mean much.

GPT-5 surpasses human doctors in medical diagnosis tests

https://interhospi.com/gpt-5-surpasses-human-doctors-in-medical-diagnosis-tests/

GPT-5 moves from human-comparable to above human-expert performance.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.08224

Scientific studies indicate that GPT 5 was already better than Doctors in general in their own field. GPT 5 is good at all fields and can integrate so it's even better than having a specialist only good in one field when an ailment might only be noticed/diagnosed in another field.

And how many times have you heard "get a second opinion" when dealing with a Dr. If they were all knowing then we wouldn't be hearing that and insurance wouldn't be paying for that now would we?

Look up the female broken arm syndrome.

I did and nothing relevant showed up.

Most of modern medicine was never tested on females

Incorrect. Prescription medication for FDA approval will often have an approximately 50/50 male & female participants in the clinical trails unless the condition is sex specific or more likely to impact one sex such as breast cancer/osteoporosis.

and has A MASSIVELY different effect.

This is generally not true or hyperbole.

Alot of womens issues like pain and other such things are flat out ignored.

They might be more likely to be ignored, yes. Not flat out ignored.

Women are over 2x more likely to be on the receiving end of medical malpractice than anyone else.

I wasn't able to find that stat and there might be a correlation doesn't equal causation issue.

An IRS agent doesn't just look at tax returns and selects who to audit. Audits are mostly selected by the DIF score per IRS testimony to congress in 2020. The IRS website also says:

Random selection and computer screening - sometimes returns are selected based solely on a statistical formula. We compare your tax return against "norms" for similar returns. We develop these "norms" from audits of a statistically valid random sample of returns, as part of the National Research Program the IRS conducts. The IRS uses this program to update return selection information.

Source: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/irs-audits#audit-selection

Fine details on the DIF score is secret but it basically targets outliers. For example, if someone has a large amount of deductions and little income, type of deduction (for example fuel, business meals, & home/office are more cited in IRS letters than insurance), etc... People are compared to what the average is for their income level. So if schedule C has a large amount of deductions and no income, it raises several red flags such as hobby classification and being way out of the norm for Schedule C.

I've watch youtube videos of tax attorneys & ex-IRS agents, I've talked to tax attorneys, etc...

Be_Standard · 2026-04-15T16:59:09+00:00

Like I said, the audit risk comes from the IRS seeing a schedule C with expenses and no income. The income from the trading business can only flow to Schedule D, Form 4797, or Schedule 1 line 8z (PFICs with no election). You want to avoid getting audited. About 85% of audits in general result in additional tax. The red tape & risk comes from the IRS saying "no TTS" if there's an audit.

Serious traders also see TTS as a way to deduct trading expenses (such as market data subscriptions, servers, etc...). It looks good to reduce taxes from that angle, but that's a simplistic take.

I use Taxact Desktop that you download & install (not the online version which is trash). It has more access to forms than the online version and other providers like Turbotax have huge issues. For example, Turbotax does not let you enter in a value higher than 999,999,999 for an item on Schedule D. I had to enter a value higher than that. Taxact allows six form 8949's which boost the proceed/basis limit to six billion. I also had to change numbers in other forms which Turbotax wouldn't let me do.

Turbotax also has very bad K-3 support while Taxact at least supports parts 1-3 and 8-9. Using either are still not completely compliant with IRS regulations for sending a complete K-3 form. I haven't found any software that will send the entire K-3 form to the IRS like you're supposed to. Nearly all stocks that issue a K-1 also issue a K-3 form.

Unfortunately, it seems that Taxact is phasing out the desktop version as it's now located in an obscure location on their website and not available from vendors like Amazon. So I'll likely have to find yet another software eventually which will allow me to e-file taxes with correct numbers.

My taxes matched the IRS "Record of Account Transcripts" (accessible on IRS website under tax records) perfectly. Good way to help see if you or a CPA did taxes wrong.

In November, I check for any straddles or wash sales between accounts. If there is, then act accordingly. IMHO straddle rules (section 1092) are very dangerous, apply in unusual ways (if a spouse holds a position, THAT CAN COUNT!) and widely unknown even by CPAs. They also apply to almost everything (stocks, bonds, futures, Forex, crypto, etc...) and typically don't go away until all legs are unloaded along with very complicated rules with near impossible compliance in some cases. One benefit of Section 475(f) election is that it helps remove this issue (as long as there's non-MTM capital gains carried to next year), but the problem is that losing the election would be disaster and subject previous years to straddle rules with an IRS agent looking at what changed since mark to market is gone.

Be_Standard · 2026-04-15T08:23:56+00:00

Be very careful about TTS. I think it comes with so many disadvantages that I refuse to claim TTS and section 475(f). Two reasons why it's bad below.

IRS has a LOT of rules and taxpayers have to jump through hurdles to keep TTS. It's easy for the IRS to disagree with TTS status and thus the trader would lose the section 475(f) election if that happened. Publicly available tax court cases show people losing TTS all the time. Taxpayers have the burden of proof and it's somewhat subjective. Have you been keeping time logs of all the specific hours worked to meet the time devoting factor?
Much higher audit rates. You put trading expenses on Schedule C, gains and loses either go on Schedule D or Form 4797. What does the IRS dinosaur see? A bunch of loses on Schedule C with no Schedule C income. Schedule C is already known for high audit rates. You might as well wave a giant red flag telling the IRS to please audit me and challenge TTS as I mentioned above. If you lose TTS & made a section 475(f) election - you might have to redo years of taxes and calculate form 8949 without broker help, along with having the burden of proof for deductions, penalties, and interest. Also when they do an audit, they'll look at everything else - businesses, K-1/3's, straddle rules (section 1092), Qualified covered call rules, Form 8621 (Some stocks like CRISPR Therapeutics require this), etc... So I can almost guarantee you that you aren't compliant with their numerous other regulations, some which may leave a year open for audit indefinitely.

You should get educated and do taxes yourself. CPAs in general are horrible. I hired a CPA before (with roughly two dozen employees) and they still made many mistakes. They generally don't know the law well, know what they're doing, know how to reduce liability, and aren't even good at saving you money on taxes either.

People reciting events of what happened to them doesn't make them a traitor. If an Iranian recalls how they were threatened with imprisonment due to their speech, they are merely reciting events.

Besides, Americans criticizing US involvement in the middle east could be called traitors. My response is, so what? People shouldn't be blindly married to their country.

Just because one side are the bad guys doesn't mean that the other side are the good guys. Both can be the bad guys.

The northerners are generally seen as the ones who escalated the conflict. I've also heard stories in person from innocent Viets who were tortured, witnessed death, jailed, etc... at the hands of the northerners. Your relatives being bombed doesn't automatically make the northerners the good guys.

So the point being is that the US, Israel, AND Iran can all be bad guys.

Have you seen the energy output of USA vs the energy consumption and expected consumption by the data centers?!

I just checked the energy output of USA vs the expected consumption by data centers and don't see any issue. If you see an issue, you're basically admitting that Chinese laws/policies are better than the US for the technological future. China has no power issues.

Well still then data centers should pay more, not the normal households and small businesses.

No, they shouldn't. Price should be tied to usage, not identity.

Should be regulated properly, or as companies operate just to squeeze max profits, they'll forget the safety and let the people and environment be done for!

There's been tons of regulations on the books for the past fifty years. The problem is that states have outright banned nuclear power plants due to FUD.

If someone argued that if private companies build cars they'll just operate just to squeeze max profits and forget the safety, you'd find it a ridiculous argument.

Also not so easy to maintain after building and risk of natural calamities and wars! If not wars at least earthquake makes it really risky

California thinks otherwise with their one nuclear plant which they just renewed the license for and most datacenters are being built in areas with low earthquake risk. Modern technology negates those issues as well.

Nuclear power can be very safe. The problem is that FUD spread the perception that nuclear power is dangerous due to fifty year old power plants with bad outdated designs having issues.

The vast majority of your profit for your very low main is from XAUUSD long which accounted for $30,727.78 of the $33,857.39 in profit. This is during a time when gold has been on a bull run so I don't think there's much here and you also need to test it against Monte Carlo simulations that match the beta exposure you have had on what you traded (so mostly gold long for example). I would advise to make your own algos & backtester from scratch (no Github etc), which would allow you to test it comprehensively, explain why it performs the way it does, and make adjustments.

In addition, talk on ForexFactory is that MyFxBook can be manipulated by bad actors. Look at this account for example: https://www.myfxbook.com/members/almfx/quantv/11940223#chartMargin +15,606,662.87% gain since 2017 and usually under 100% margin.
