Lovely summer day at ocean beach San Francisco, of course until a huge black free roaming dog comes by, scares my kids, takes shit into their kiddy pool, pees on their castle and roams away without an owner in sight. 💩
Rethinking, could I have thrown a sand at the dog?

Like Taylor Swift, my past decade had a lot of different eras. Let me reflect and share my learnings.

"You can often negotiate your hospital medical bill"
-- this should be included in any visa application to the USA
E.g. Hospital bills at $10,000
Insurer-negotiated rate: $3,000
Medicare rate: $2,000
Cash price: You may negotiate it down to $2,000–$4,000.
Not a financial advice

What replacing a broken-off faucet handle taught me about economics.
Considered 3 options:
* Epoxy glue it back
* Find a matching handle
* Replace the entire faucet
Somehow in our world; the cheapest option is actually the 3rd - thus manufacturing at scale is really effective.

Can AI reason? I don't think so. Some people say it just remembered all human-kinds knowledge which could be found online.
How it performs on novel tasks? That's what the ARC Benchmark tries to test. It's a fun daily puzzle for humans too!

Eastern Europe is it also West Asia? When I try to explain our culture to US folks, I must admit that we are culturally both.

Half of image search results for “baby peacock” are now AI generated- wow!
Babies of any species try to be hideous as they vulnerable - so images “peacocking” are just unnatural.

Gemini search results should label responses with “Ad” - no way GCP is easiest lol. Or bias in training data?
