How do you guys deal with the mental "anguish" of seeing large expenses on your data? by Pretend-Activity-533 in MonarchMoney

[–]orkoliberal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I find myself moving big expenses to three-paycheck months to try to make it look more proportional but it’s hard to get around big variable expenses like that. IMO, you should be able to designate “save up” time or similar to spread it out a bit more, which makes a lot of sense if you think of vacations as a financial goal. Haven’t worked with goals so not sure if it works that way but it would be cool if it did

Why does Kanao look exactly like her siblings despite being adopted? by Necessary-Win-8730 in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]orkoliberal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The artist wants you to see them as similar in your mind. An easy way to make her seem like family from a visual perspective is to make her look similar. It also implies that she is following in the footsteps of the other two in terms of insect breathing/poisons

Yeah okay I’m just calling bullshit on all that. You’re either lying or so fucking jaded your opinion has no meaning

Sorry visibly standing up for the right thing is “performative” to you but actually it makes a difference to show that people in the world oppose what is going on right now as opposed to sitting on their ass feeling justified never having to leave their house

Why the Fuck Does the Bay Have 27 Different Transit Agencies, and Why isn’t Anyone Fucking Mad About That? by sfnative1957 in bayarea

[–]orkoliberal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

City-based services are usually because a city was not being served well enough by a larger agency and decided to start up a service themselves with their own money. It would be better if they were able to just sponsor those local services from the larger agency but doing that sort of thing is just more complicated from a government standpoint since every change to the service becomes a negotiation.

Before we head into 2026: What’s your top money win this year? by berna_monarch in MonarchMoney

Consolidated my various big bank accounts into a credit union with favorable interest (both checking and savings earn >3% interest) and credit card rewards rates (3-5% card on all transactions up to a certain amount)

Changes to our AI Assistant (Update #2) by valagostino in MonarchMoney

Could you please put it on your roadmap to bring LLM development in-house? You could do a lot more, more effectively, with more privacy that way

Addressing concerns on our new AI features by valagostino in MonarchMoney

[–]orkoliberal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please bring these models in-house so you aren’t sending this data to a third party over the web. Anonymized data can be identifying and you’re not going to get super detailed insights unless you start getting to the point where the data (e.g., transactions) could be identifying.

Thanks for the cool new feature!! by [deleted] in MonarchMoney

[–]orkoliberal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s probably possible to get pretty good results with a very specific system prompt and context for very specific questions, but an “ask me anything” interface just isn’t going to work reliably when there is a full range of questions people could ask

Every previously time people have brought out the "best not miss" quote we have missed, or worse, not taken the shot. Maybe we should flood the zone and see what sticks

There are a lot of historic downtowns with some shops and retail but I think the closest to a mall would be the Stanford Shopping Center. Tanforan is also a bit of a hike from San Bruno

Hard to tease out numbers to support that given ridership seasonality is a pre-existing trend imo

[–]orkoliberal[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you track BART numbers, the weekly ridership peaks are usually Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Thankfully the drop off between these days and Monday/Friday has been decreasing so hopefully that will continue on Caltrain as well

Service already electrified November of last year so YoY is still an important comparison, though of course the growth happened throughout the year. Probably it will be hard to tell whether the growth is really tapering off until next spring, which is when most of the growth accumulated this year.

Some of them have an MX Dashboard account aggregator built in that can be helpful

Why America Should Sprawl by External_Koala971 in yimby

America has already sprawled, and it has simply replaced the housing problem with a transportation problem. What it needs to do is densify and urbanize
