how does Portugal The Cookbook compare to Portugal The Man?

We absolutely need to start shooting more people throwing Nazi salutes.

Not enough Nazis getting shot punched and kicked, that's literally the reason why this is happening.

DeepSeek also typically takes up to 4 or 5 times longer than ChatGPT to "think" about things, especially programming problems. I suspect this is ultimately a hardware limitation, however. I would imagine that OpenAI have a fuck-you hoard of GPUs that DeepSeek don't have.

Anecdotally, DeepSeek produces more thoughtful and insightful output, and isn't afraid to go into certain topics that ChatGPT won't venture into. Recently I asked both about the expectations for dignity and autonomy from AI, and DeepSeek very quickly alluded to Marx's theory of alienation.

Point is: they will have a choice that I didn't get to make.

They could use it to put a down payment on a house, and be done paying for their first mortgage before they're even middle aged! They could use it to go to college for probably two weeks by the time they're old enough.

They could maybe buy a car outright, and make what they would've paid in payments to a savings account, and thereby never ever have to borrow for a car, meaning I'll have saved them thousands of dollars over their lifetimes.

if I've done my math right, they should end up with anywhere from $25-$33k when all is said and done, assuming typical growth. I think that'll be a nice sum of money to come into at 21, assuming I do a good enough job maturing these kiddos.

Today, I got paid a bonus from work, and immediately shored up his account. He turned 5 yesterday, and he has 60 shares of SPLG to his name. I've got the auto-transfer configured to put $100 in his account every month, and I'll do the same setup for my daughter when she's born.

So I quickly set up an investment account whereby I can put money in, but never take it out, and everything becomes my son's property when he turns 21. I immediately transferred every share I had, and doubled the purchase rate so I could make up for lost time.

So I sort of resolved that I would come up with a decent investment plan for my kids, and landed on a scheme whereby I purchase one share of SPLG (an S&P500-indexed ETF) for every month he's been alive. I had amassed something like 18 shares for myself when I decided this.

I don't really regret it that much (I've done fine without a degree myself). I don't think that by the time my kids are adults, college will be anywhere near worth the cost, except for maybe a few very specific career fields. I nevertheless want them to have the option available to them.

when I went to college, they were like "you can live here for free, I guess? just have a job and go to school," and surprise surprise, I never graduated.

having children makes you go through a pair of lists I call the "traumas and treasures". that which you seek to expertly avoid, or perfectly recreate from your childhood. one sort of long-standing gripe I've had with my own upbringing is that my parents saved not a fucking dime for me or my brother.

The second thing you should do is shuffle, because the vile temptress puzzle maker will try to seduce your weak heart away from the true answer with falsehoods and misdirections.
