- Watched 2 Elon interviews on 2.5x (shoutout Video Speed Controller extension), The Babylon Bee and Lex Friedman.
- Interesting piece on neuralink; while it can go both directions, the output is much more important to accelerate because it’s the limiting factor. Think about the datarates of our senses (inputs) vs our communications (outputs). If you have a human in front of you, how quickly can you process the information that describes what’s in front of you? How they look, smell, sound etc. Very quickly. 1 second. Now how fast can you describe that information to someone else? Very slowly. Minutes. Constrained by speech. Same applies for other senses. Seeing a sculpture vs sculpting. Tasting a dessert vs recreating the taste. Smelling something vs understanding/describing the fragrance.
- Garbage collection for regulations. Keep law like code. Better to remove than add.
- Admitted incomplete understanding of smart contracts, surprisingly next to the public crypto support (albeit doge-esque).
- Paradigm 1.15b to CitSec.
- Researched lines against securities, homes, and pure margin (usually accrues daily and charges monthly). Securities best (subj). Avoid taxes. Variable interest, but ballpark 2%. Avoids liquidating, pushes to longterm cap gains, can get more. Maybe next home against spacex.
- FTX offers 0.07% taker (current best for entry amount, I believe), slightly better than binance’s 0.1%.
- Browsed pre-IPOs on EquityZen, submitted interest for a few.
- Formal criteria for accredited investor (never looked up exact before): 200k annual income for 2yrs (or 300 joint), or 1m net worth without home.
- Remember individual tax on gross, business tax on net. Deduct deduct deduct.
- Will diversify very small corners with bonds and REITs shortly.
- Installed and activated ExpressVPN on the new windows desktop, fedora laptop, chrome, and ios.
