Monarch Money has a Projection Lab equivalent now with their plus account. Too expensive at 149 a year but trying out their free version for 7 days!

Tamasha for Mother’s Day! Better not become a tamasha.
Gym followed by another hour of heavy backyard mowing has done me in today. I could go to bed now. I am glad that the teen is down with cold and had to miss the swim meet this weekend – the 5am wakeups would have really hurt tomorrow! (She is better but not quite swim ready)
The teen also has a summer job lined up at our swim club this year at the in house snack bar. I told her to pay for the tix using the salary she is gonna get from working at the snack bar. Kid gotta learn how quickly money disappears!
The teen is going with her bff from school for their first solo concert by themselves this October to Olivia Rodrigo’s show. The tix cost fucking 419 bucks a piece, like what nonsense pricing is this? She is super thrilled though that it’s without parents. Of course a parent will be dropping and picking up but I can imagine the feeling she’s having right now. October can’t come soon enough for her.
Just tell me when to stock up before the hantavirus pandemic hits.
Windows Bay on Apple TV gets horror-comedy right. The funny parts are funny but the scary parts just genuinely scary.
I have been using Lingo continuous glucose monitor for the past 10 days and the results have been eye opening. A more detailed post coming next week on it and more. For now I am disappointed to know that the food that I really love is the one that is the worst trigger: rice.
The biggest issue with AI at work today is not that it’s not helpful, but it’s unimaginative. I suspect that it will always be? Our AI tools are optimized to give feedback against our own internal knowledge base first and then external knowledge. This works great when you are doing research for topics internally and want to get understanding of how things work. However I have tried it and failed multiple times to get AI to imagine something brand new within the context of information about our company it has. I have prodded it to come with new ideas, new features and so on and each time either the idea is outlandish with no sense of connect to our limitations or it just keeps regurgitating the same stuff that has already been explored with new names and passing it off as a brand new idea. Like I would like it if AI just said nope I can’t generate ideas for you, but no it won’t do that. I suspect it’s on purpose.
This is a strange company where the engineering constantly asks me what “solution” I want them to build and I am like I want to tell you the what, not the how! You should be telling me what’s the best way to solve this – not the other way around that I dictate a solution and you just build it. In that case I could just use a team of Claude code AI engineers no?
