There’s probably a better term for this than the “Prophet Paradox,” but I often wonder if people like Michel de Nostredame (Nostradamus) or Leonardo Da Vinci are really prophets. Even Biblical people like Ezekiel and Abraham come to mind. Did what they say come true? What if they never said anything? Obvious warning: This is …

What the Debt Ceiling Bill (H.R.211) actually says
Thanks to Google Bard, I prompted the following question for each Title within the H.R.211 Debt Ceiling bill: “Summarize the following section as if I was an elementary school student.” I’m not a lawyer nor am I a genius, so somewhere below that is ideal. It’s also worth reminding people that it’s a Language Learning …

A Review of the Stock-investing ChatGPT Study
Many articles have been published lately about how successful ChatGPT has been with investing in stock choices. Some even say it can “pick stocks better than your fund manager“.

I wrote a letter to my 35-year-old self when I was 30
I enjoyed the last time I did it to reflect on life and changes that I did it again. Once again, I forgot about the letter for almost two years, but now I’ll reflect on it since I rediscovered it while digging through the safe while searching for some identification cards.

I built my own captcha
Captcha, for the uninitiated with the term, is displayed on many forms when you register for a website, and it can have impossible-to-read text. It’s fairly easy to install and common across the web. Because I’m me, I don’t want to use it. Maybe it’s “sticking it against the man” or maybe it’s naivety, or …
The Apple ecosystem vs Windows
