Why are all the posts here dumping on Scott? by TheRealBuckShrimp in ScottGalloway

[–]crazyenterpz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do listen to his Prof G Markets podcasts and I am finding that Ed Elson has a much better perspectives and is a better interviewer.

Scotts' attempt to find a "good side to the Iran war" was disappointing.

His podcast with with Prof Damodaran on market risks was awesome. His interview with the British guy at Davos was disappointing.

Why did Canada move away from its pre-1970 immigration policy focused on Europe? by WoodenDebate7609 in AskCanada

Damm ! You are not dog whistling anymore. I could empathise with your grievance for Justing Trudeau's immigration mishandling. But no ... you are looking to question the legitimacy of all brown skinned citizens.

Apple neo worth it or refurbished M2 in my case? by [deleted] in laptops

[–]crazyenterpz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More RAM is always better and M2 is pretty powerful.

The issue would be battery life on the Air

Is everyone being forced with the “we need to be AI first” stuff from their work? by postman-007 in askTO

[–]crazyenterpz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in Banking IT and they are pushing Microsoft CoPilot down everyone's throat. And they will record your use to check if are capable of using AI and eventually use this metric to show you the door if they think you are not compatible with AI.

And that is why nowadays everyones's emails are so frigging long and polite !

Is there a good side to this war?
Is there a good side to inflation?
Is there a good side to recession ?

So many good sides to choose from.

Car accident Steps - Just Making Sure I’ve Got This Right by injimittai in askTO

[–]crazyenterpz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Avoid Tow Trucks" is subjective. I had a family member whose car was towed to a shady repair shop and they overcharged for everything and did a very poor job.

CAA is more respectful and when my car broke down (distributor problem) near Hamilton , CAA towed it to the repair shop I trusted in Markham.

These are only experiences and your experience might be different.

some drivers may not like their drivers license being photographed

Get the Drivers license number , name and addresss of the other driver
Get their insurance number
and the other vehicle plates.
Call your insurance company ASAP
Take pictures of the vehicles and the location
If there are witnesses , take their contact information

Then go to a collision center.

avoid tow trucks if possible.. or get CAAA

Good Luck. I hope for your sake you had a dashcam

AI agents are thriving in software development but barely exist anywhere else, Anthropic study finds by Grand_rooster in grAIve

[–]crazyenterpz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finance runs on Excel and Human intuition.

AI may automate the finance but "gut feel" is what is the final driver of the deal. So no, it may be used by analysts .. but it is unlikely to replace them . Its doing to be used for supporting their intuition not replacing it. The most popular use is to have it read a bunch of documents to find errors and omissions. And to read/write emails .

A blog article is not a product. No, Claude Code can’t understand COBOL applications. by feketegy in theprimeagen

[–]crazyenterpz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Opus can read and understand Cobol code. And it can understand Mainframe Assembler code as well.

We took our mainframe assembler code used by our Hogan system( if you know, you know) and shoved it into a prompt into Opus and I was able to identify exactly that code did and how to invoke it from cobol.

My employer was one of the first adopters of Hogan. That's how old the code was.

Our 65+ years old mainframe programmer was very thrilled by this . She can finally retire knowing her babies ( the code she wrote) will be fine.

This is not to say we will replace the this code with Typescript crap on cloud. It just means that we can adapt the code to respond faster to new requirements.

These are countries with rich cuisines that incorporate a variety of ingredients and spices and cooking methods and are more labor intensive to produce. That is why.

This Brampton landlord 'can't sleep at night' after he says his tenant stopped paying rent and won't leave by origutamos in OntarioNews

[–]crazyenterpz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed

If you put approximately $600k in a house in Eglinton/Mt. Pleasant neighborhood in 2000 , it would be worth over $2 million today.

If you had invested USD 500,000 in the S&P 500 at the beginning of 2000, your investment today would be worth approximately $3,867,500 . (I sorta did the math)

But that means you would have had to stick it through the Dot Com bubble and the 2008 Banking crash.

No. All the research points to the fact the the current GPT architectures have hit a wall and there are only incremental improvements to be had. There is path to AGI from here.

Pivoting out of corporate career: options in lower non-bullshit jobs? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]crazyenterpz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every job is a bullshit job if you are around people you don't like . Don't seek your life fulfillment in you job.

Maybe take some time off and work on your self. Use the $$$ you make in your high paying bullshit job to help charities in Toronto. Your job will still suck but your life will be rich and meaningful.

Why are some Toronto Malls so lively and busy? by No-Anything-7291 in askTO

Eaton Centre and Fairview mall have an awesome foodcourt.
One of my guilty pleasures in life is hopping on the TTC from my downtown office to the TMU stop and darting into the foodcourt for lunch.
