We've been helping our children since they graduated high school and we are not going to stop.
Inheritance at 65 is too late. Your kids need help when they’re 25. Help with the down payment. Help with student loans. Help starting a business. Give them a head start while they can use it. Not a bigger inheritance when they’re already retired.

Crawl the web and use the shell exploit to patch the exploit. I think I just saved the planet.

Distribution We are in the era of distribution !
My friend is crying...... 🥲 Friend spent almost a year building a great product. Scrapped it and rebuilt it several times, and finally got it into great shape, ready to launch. Today, someone with over 70K followers launched the exact same product he'd been building.....

Great work Jerry.
Today I’m excited to introduce OpenDocRouter - a unified API for document parsing with the latest frontier and open-weight models. There are a lot of VLMs and OCR models that can be used for document parsing: we have over 130+ models on ParseBench, and a HuggingFace search for “ocr” turns up thousands of results. It’s extremely time consuming to choose between OCR vendors. You need to figure out the right prompts, handle rate limits, manage deployments, integrations with all models you’re using, and benchmark new models as they come out. OpenDocRouter provides a comprehensive, transparent set of models along the price-performance frontier. It manages a unified API to transcribe documents to markdown. It serves all frontier and open-weight models “at-cost”, with a small transaction cut. It handles rate limits with all models to ensure you can put massive volume through. It even offers bounding boxes and layout as a service, so that you can add grounding to any model that you’re using. When new OCR candidate models ship, we will benchmark them on ParseBench and immediately add them to OpenDocRouter. We’re adding a lot more models very quickly, and also adding some extremely exciting feature improvements (e.g. automated routing) as we speak. We welcome your feedback!

It's interesting that general liability insurance ($2M policy) really hasn't gone up in the last 15 years.

Somebody automates AI slop on their timeline. You disagree with the comment. They simply ♥️ your reply.

I just can't feel good supporting unhealthy food choices.
Someone talk me out of putting my ENTIRE net-worth into MCDs??! It's trading at 5 year lows despite: - Revenue up 40% - Operating Income up 70% - 3.3% dividend (50 years of increases 😳) - 46k stores, 95% franchised I freaking LOVE McDonalds but what am I missing?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
McDonald's revenue grew ~16% and operating income ~22% from 2021-2025; the 40%/70% gains reference 2020 pandemic lows instead. stockanalysis.com/stocks/mcd/fin… sec.gov/Archives/edgar… corporate.mcdonalds.com/content/dam/si…

I'm not. I take more time off than ever now that my agents are doing the work.
If AI makes you faster, why are you busier than ever?

we've evaluated 100+ models on doc parsing 🔥 from frontier VLMs, open-weight VLMs, OCR tools, and OSS parsers check out parsebench: parsebench.ai/
