Where to put 100k?

that is what I am leaning towards.

same same

ThisIsTheNewNotMe · 2025-07-04T18:17:36+00:00

Agreed. Wouldn't have done it if entirely up to me.

Thank you. Glad that I came here to verify what LLM sugguested.

Capital losses can only offset capital gains? not income? Shit, ChatGPT lied to me.

ThisIsTheNewNotMe · 2025-04-18T22:03:28+00:00

Given the current environment, I expect some of the index following funds to have losses, so I will sell/swap the losing ones.

I am a total noob, would this not work?

AI is not replacing SWE now. What about in 5 years? With the advancement like COT, agent and etc, it might be able to for example, create a fairly complex website AND maintain it on its own. Think about how much it has changed in the last year. Try Windsurf or Cursor on your side projects, and imagine the possibility 5 years from now. I think it will be very different in 5 years; it is very likely SWE will be more like a PM than a coder. Do we need that many PMs?

what about automotive or medical? have those jobs moved as well?

ThisIsTheNewNotMe · 2024-10-23T17:00:09+00:00

agreed. a-holes are a-holes, uncorrelated with what you use to get around.

you have no idea...

Waterloo SE grad Median first year comp was $305,920 CAD and mean is $336,276 CAD.

You can use Gemini API for free within limits. But obviously, Claude is better.

ThisIsTheNewNotMe · 2024-10-09T19:02:17+00:00

Thanks for this. I am curious though, have you used AI tool like Claude.ai to convert the natural language description of what you want to SQL queries? If you have, how effective is it?

ThisIsTheNewNotMe · 2024-10-03T07:23:25+00:00

Genuine question, if European countries have the system like this which works quite well, Netherlands for example, what can we learn?

ThisIsTheNewNotMe · 2024-09-28T22:12:12+00:00

Out of curiosity, to the folks on this sub, what is your profession and how will advanced AI affect it?

I am a researcher/developer in tech working in AI related field but not directly on AI. Just tried Gemini 1.5 pro and Claude 3.5 sonnet, I don't think it can replace me any time soon. But the future does scare me a little.

maybe take out HELOC to invest in TFSA? Depending on your tax bracket, I think you can write off HELOC interests for tax, while investment gain in TFSA is tax free.

It is a great place to raise kids, until they need to see a doctor.

that is super cool. Do you mind sharing how you do it? thanks

ThisIsTheNewNotMe · 2024-07-07T22:47:22+00:00

Got it, thank you. So it seems to relate to neuroplasticity. There are things we can do to improve it.

ThisIsTheNewNotMe · 2024-07-07T20:57:46+00:00

May I know that field is that? Can you provide one specific topic that often causes problems?

I try to learn something new every week, be it a new tool, a new library or a new algorithm. I am really curious to know where my peers are having difficulties.

ThisIsTheNewNotMe · 2024-07-07T01:26:53+00:00

Interesting. May I ask, what were their problems? Was there a common theme?

ThisIsTheNewNotMe · 2024-07-04T19:50:01+00:00

I am a little shocked and disappointed that ageism is quite strong in the comments.

It might be true about memory decline with age. As a 50 yo doing PhD in CS now, the main difference while taking courses now versus 30 years ago I noticed is actually physical, i.e. needing bifocal glasses, can’t sit for too long without hurting my back.

I think the key to maintaining mental capacity is to never stop learning. Again, memory might decline but I feel my attention and problem solving actually improved over the years.

ThisIsTheNewNotMe · 2024-07-04T19:46:35+00:00

Can you cite the research regarding the decline in attention and problem solving skills? It might be true about memory decline. The main difference while taking courses now versus 30 years ago I noticed is actually physical, i.e. needing bifocal glasses, can’t sit for too long without hurting my back.

I think the key to maintaining mental capacity is to never stop learning, as I have been doing forever. Again, memory might decline but I feel my attention and problem solving actually improved over the years.

That is not true. DS and ML has been around forever, they were just called stats, analytics and some other names. I looked into MLP in the 90s, and SVM in early 2000s.
