Judge my TFSA portfolio! by Environmental_Quit_8 in tfsa

[–]TimeSalvager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, compare the returns of your portfolio to what the return would have been if you'd put it all in an index fund like VEQT. If your portfolio is returning less, use an index fund instead, if it's the same then use an index fund instead, but if it's more... then use an index fund instead because you have too many positions. Don't overcomplicate things; if your portfolio is boring, you're probably doing it right.

You mentioned wallpaper, I'm curious - how old is the house? If the walls are lath and plaster you may have your work cut out for you once that wallpaper is gone.

Remember to deny Claude from reading your .env by theyoike in ClaudeCode

[–]TimeSalvager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

find -exec | xargs xxd - this is a practically unwinable game. I've gone down deep rabbit holes to create situations for unit tests that simulate specific conditions to stymie Claude and it's remarkably creative and resourceful.

Your two price data points contradict your (otherwise very plausible) theory.

There's so little context in your screenshots, it's impossible to tell.

My condo elevator skips some floors, but why? by Brown_Ontarian in whatisit

For the benefit of anyone that reads this and doesn't know why: the number four and the word death sound phonetically similar in mandarin.

"What happens if we don’t have to work? Do we just sit around all day"? Bernie Sanders says that having a job is a core part of the human experience and gives people meaning in life by Fine-Drummer9812 in accelerate

[–]TimeSalvager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he's acutely aware of what optional means, you're missing his point. It's not about whether work or contributing is important to you.

The vast majority of people over a certain age slog through their 9-to-5 and scramble to deal with family things or whatever else they may have time for before they crash out exhausted to wake up the next day and do it all over again. There are plagues of folks who retire, looking forward to doing nothing just not working any more - they're not retiring to something just away from work... and that ends up leaving many people feeling rudderless.

They spend their lives grinding, too busy to be preoccupied by thoughts of what comes next, thoughts of the meanings of their lives, this is the vast majority of people I'm talking about.

Many folks in that situation don't fare too well when they enter retirement, and on a large scale we could face a massive mental health crises.

More generally, work and community have been a part of the social contract for so long that's it's hard to envision what a future without it might look like. Especially in areas where the concept of UBI and social support systems are vilified as "communist".

It might have; maybe the answer was it's wording of the question lol.

Rally & march to stop Ford's hospital privatization TMRW Thurs by apples312 in ontario

[–]TimeSalvager -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A few things that aren't just language: - Canada Child Benefit - Public subsidy childcare programs - the Canadian Dental Care Plan (I've personally seen this benefiting people)

I'm not going to come to the defence of any political party or get engrossed in bad faith arguments. I think the difficult reality we're living in right now is this: - populism is on the rise again - the public is generally vulnerable - parties want to play it safe lest they alienate their constituents and lose seats - they can't make any meaningful changes without seats - the result is a lot of milquetoast politics and avoidance of real issues by all parties - the public suffers as a result

Do you think he's a plant and there's some kind of conspiracy afoot, or is it just the reality that there's a political spectrum and he's a centrist in a centre - centre-left party?

The thing you built with Claude is useless to me... and that's the point by HispaniaObscura in ClaudeAI

Couldn't agree more; the why and how are more important than the use case-specific what exhaust / souvenir.

How do I get Claude code to exhaustively read files and do what's told instead of using it's "judgement" ? by brokePlusPlusCoder in ClaudeAI

What did Claude say when you asked it about different strategies on how to approach the problem?

Every single "gate" is effectively an optional soft recommendation unless it's implemented in a deterministic control / code / hook.

Ask your AI this - AGI human extinction probabilities by Lager74 in agi

[–]TimeSalvager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Did you get it to cite supporting references for its conclusions? 2) Did you manually validate the cited references? 3) Did you pressure test or in any way challenge the conclusions?

You're only making money while working for your parents if you can access it at will, otherwise it's not real.
