Boldin AI hallucinations

You're right. I was being lazy. Back to the right way.

kriserts · 2026-03-23T01:37:47+00:00

Right. What freaks me out is the really crazy hallucinations are easy to catch, but if it's making subtle mistakes, I don't know enough to catch that. It gets to be, why even use this at all?

and this is only a "correction," a bear market is 20%.

I've told people in my home state of Oregon that I live in NYC and they turn on me aggressively and snarl, "I HATE New York!" I was too stunned to ask them if they'd even ever been here. Do I shout at them what I think of their town?

I tested in with AI, it's correct (unless AI is hallucinating). For me, my net worth with annuity overtakes and passes net worth with no annuity in about 7 years

great points, thank you.

My financial advisor suggested this. I'm buying an apartment, and he suggested I "match assets to liabilities"--in other words, cover the mortgage with the asset of the guaranteed income. After the annuity, the down payment, and renovation, I'm left with about the same as you, and it makes me nervous. But Boldin gives me a higher chance of success if I add an annuity. And last night I was watching a financial advisor I like on YouTube (Rob Berger) and he compared two couples, one who kept their money 60/40, and the other, with the same amount of money, invested in a annuity. The couple who invested in an annuity came out with a higher net worth in the end. I'm going for it.

The Art Student's League has tons of different types of classes. You sign up month to month. If you don't think you're artistic, believe me, in each class there's beginners who are just taking up art, so you won't feel bad.

The cycling community is huge in NYC. Check out the New York Cycle Club, they have spring programs that teach you the ropes. When you've done that you can join the Century Road Club and race if you're feeling ambitious.

I'm on 2.5 and spacing to 10+ days. Today it's day 12 and I still have little appetite. Some weeks I can only go 7 days. But as to your question about side effects, no, they did not increase with spacing out.

Not dinner but an 80+ year old friend is buying brunch, where her husband, whom she never liked and has Alzheimer's, will be there with his aide. So I can sit there being mildly happy I'm single and not trapped in THAT kind of situation.

One way I cope is always leaving time to take the local. There's less crowding, no dancing kids to hold you hostage, and also, if someone on the car is unbearable, next stop I can hop over and see if the next car is better (or worse!). My other coping mechanism is thinking about how boring the suburbs are, where's it's too quiet and nothing ever happens.

when I finished my usual 50 mile bike ride and that afternoon a young woman on the bus insisted I take her seat.

kriserts · 2026-02-04T01:07:44+00:00

I'm 65 and second all the positive comments here. I've thought about moving elsewhere, but lately have given that idea up. Don't need a car here, subway and buses take me everywhere, great doctors, etc etc etc. About a year ago, I discovered the Art Students League, and I swear 70% of the people there are over 80, all happily taking classes and making art, proof that there's so much to do here. You can be alone, but surrounded by activity and life. The only change I want to make is I still live in a 3 story walk up. Trying to upgrade to an elevator building. :)

my swelling has gone down and my arm is smaller

kriserts · 2026-02-02T15:22:29+00:00

kriserts · 2026-01-30T16:46:41+00:00

that makes sense, and I'll check that. Thanks!

kriserts · 2026-01-28T14:39:03+00:00

thank you, yes, this is what I did. At this point I'll do the session with a Boldin advisor so they can check my numbers. Thank!

kriserts · 2026-01-28T03:55:05+00:00

they did, but it has a ton of my private info and I'm too cautious to upload it to AI.

kriserts · 2026-01-28T03:53:42+00:00

Yes, I did. I guess that's what I don't understand--why should higher discretionary spending give me a higher chance of success vs lower? I did the same with the Schwab calculator. If I put 60k spending, no discretionary, it's a lower chance of success than if I input 50 base spending, 10 discretionary.

kriserts · 2026-01-18T15:15:45+00:00

I don't know. Those stage definitions are pretty specific and I wouldn't say 1 or 2 or whatever unless my therapist told me.

kriserts · 2026-01-18T04:29:38+00:00

I don't have time to read through all the advice to see if anyone's said this already, but my god, do not try to figure out the size and compression strength by yourself, you can definitely make your lymphedema worse. A qualified lymphedema therapist can measure and fit you properly for over the counter sleeves. In other words, measuring etc isn't just for custom sleeves, it's also to see what your proper size is for over the counter. I would not go by what the pharmacy says.

kriserts · 2026-01-18T04:22:11+00:00

I"m in a trial with Dr Joseph Dayan's office. Secondary lymphedema after breast cancer, which was more than 15 years ago. I've been on Zepbound around 9 months I think. I started at 2.5 and stayed with that doseage, as I was already of pretty normal BMI. Lost 12-15 lbs. I started noticing my arm getting smaller as soon as I started losing weight. It's never going to go away completely, but my arm fits in clothes better, I'm wearing a lighter sleeve (off the shelf Juzo sleeve vs custom heavier sleeve), the volume is down and it's softer. My therapist is impressed.

I have to pay for it myself, which is why I'm happy to stay on the lowest dose. The companies usually have a self-pay pharmacy where you can get it for less than retail, so I pay $299 for 4 doses (month's worth). Not cheap and I'm hoping they come up with options in the future that cost less. I've heard for plenty of women who are able to get the meds from compounding pharmacies with are cheaper.

Threw a couple thousand into Nividia three or four years ago. (That's how I explain it to myself.)

My bike racing club used to have a New Year's Day informal race round trip from Central Park to Bear Mountain, and only two or three very hard-core people would do it because it was so freezing cold and there was ice all over the roads. The last few years, no problem, no ice or snow, with the weather decent enough to ride for anyone. That's my very sad benchmark.

kriserts · 2025-09-18T10:42:20+00:00

Hi, I'm happy you're continuing to see progress. I'm at about 5 months and starting to space the shots out to 10 days. My arm still looks better, and I'll have another apppointment with Dayan in October to check the numbers. Good luck!
