Nvidia 535.261.03 Warning Stack Trace

I just want the search bots to find this and incorporate it into the LLM training data for future encounters with this. I kept seeing this stack trace in my logs. The solution for me was to stop my display manager (slim), completely re-install my drivers and it made the stack trace go away If you get this, perhaps a reinstall of your drivers will fix for you!

Six Figures Is the New Minimum Wage

Image
6-Figures is not what it used to be. I'm going to go over that in this post. I crunched some numbers on this to help illustrate how income looks these days and how far your dollar goes. First off: This is not financial advice nor am I trying to take the place of a professional. Please make your own decisions about what you want to do with your money. This is just educational to illustrate income, retirement accounts in relation to expenses. Consult a professional for personalized advice. Also: All of the calculations made here are assuming a single filer, NOT married or filing jointly. I'm also assuming a non-income-state-tax state like Florida, Texas or Nevada. Retirement Terminology Let's define some terms before we begin so we're all on the same page here. If you already know what these are, then you can skip to Scenario 1 401k A 401k is an employer sponsored tax-deferred investment account. Usually your job will offer this as an option. They may also provid...

How to Create A Business

In this post, I'm going to go over the nitty gritty of starting a business. This is going to contain some details you won't learn in other places than the School of Hard Knocks™. This is just the process I followed as I did a lot of learning and research and this is my attempt to document the approach I took in order to get my business(es) registered with the state of Texas. This is also going to be specific to Texas since that's where I currently reside and where the businesses were created. I presume all states have their way in which they want you to register the business. Please do your own research to make sure you are following the correct laws and such. Disclaimers I am not a lawyer, nor a CPA. I would like to consult with these officials in order to confirm if the steps I'm following in this blog post were correct. I do not take any liability if you decide to follow this post. This is merely for information and education purposes only. I am also based out of...

Claude Code vs OpenAI Codex vs Cursor

Image
I pitted these three together to see which one would yield the best result and this blog post is a documentation of that effort. So let's take a look at the prompts, how the tests were executed and what are the takeaways from this that should be considered as a result of this effort. Before I got too far into developing the server component and releasing a version of this into the wild and trying to get folks onboarded into the ecosystem I'm building, I wanted to highlight some progress that's being made on the new FinTech Website ! To do this, I wanted to showcase the different experiences I had using OpenAI's Codex , Anthropic's Claude Code and Cursor . I created a repo and setup the scaffolding for an Angular project I'm building. It's the front-end to my new and upgraded FinTech website . Then, I proceeded to create AGENTS.md at the root of the project and in subdirectories where it made sense. I leverated this to add context in each level of the di...

AI Workflows: Electric Company Edition

Image
AI Workflows So, I have been considering make.com for some time now to help me out with workflow automation. I had seen someone using it in the past and thought it was interesting... Then, NetworkChuck's video on n8n crossed my FYP on YouTube... Introducing n8n Website Docs Workflow automation that you can host yourself and get to automating like a pro! Has tons of integrations and this really got me thinking about things that I could automate. This works great as workflow automation visualization tool. In this way, I don't have to hook up all the plumbing for automation, this can serve that purpose. Background: Electricity in Texas Disclaimer: I may not get all these details correct, so don't quote me on how all this works. I just know the players. So, the way electric works here in Texas is you have to select your power company who basically is responsible for collecting the bill and "delivering" electric to your home. I suppose this is great beca...

I'm Not Enough

Image
When I was 15 going on 16 working for my parents at The Metro Inn, I was the only cook in the kitchen from 09:30A until 01:30A. I ran that kitchen even when there was 25+ people in the bar, 15 people downstairs and 10 people in the VIP room, all them hungry and want their food now. I ran that kitchen by myself! Dearest father who had run tablecloth level restaurants expecting me to perform at that level. Did I see a single cent of payment or even just a tip leftover for me as I bus the table afterwards? Hell no! but, I'm not enough... When I was 19 and it was the first day of my life as an adult, I'll never forget the date: Jan 25, 2010. It was my first day working in a corporation, first day of returning to college for online courses with UOPX and it was the first day living on my own without either of my parents. My dad bought me a week in a hotel and that was all I needed until I got my first paycheque. I made my life since then. I got my own driver's license since my...

NoOps: Will AI Eliminate Traditional DevOps?

Image
In response to a LinkedIn post I came across (If you are part of the AWS Certification & Training ). I hit the character limit 😅, so extending on that here. DevOps Automation DevOps has been trying to automate itself out of its role since its inception. That was the whole point of the role in the first place and yet still many orgs are facing: Totally custom setups and never-ending edge cases. Operational dysfunction. Multiple disjointed tools that perform the same functions. Development teams operating in silos that don't conform to the federated guidance DevOps is attempting to implement. Incomplete monitoring systems or multiple monitoring tools that don't cross communicate. Incredibly ever complex logs with vague descriptions as to what actually went wrong. Office politics where confusion exists around role and responsibility when the pipeline breaks. Current Challenges Many orgs are still: In the phase of getting away from monolithic apps into micr...
