Gordon Ramsay on what it really takes to run a successful restaurant: That $25 cheeseburger isn’t a rip-off. It’s a thick, high-quality patty (chuck + short rib blend), a proper brioche bun, and premium toppings. But the real killers behind high prices? Brutal rent and labor costs. Landlords raise the rent when you succeed… and still demand it when you struggle. Ramsay’s best tell for a truly great restaurant: It’s packed on a Monday night. Weekends fill themselves. Surviving (and thriving) on slow nights is what separates the winners. Restaurant prices look insane until you see the brutal economics of keeping the doors open every single day. I’ve always liked Ramsay’s no-nonsense style, and this is a perfect example — a busy restaurant on a quiet weekday is often one of the best signs of real quality. What do you think — is a packed Monday night the ultimate test of a good restaurant, or do you have a better tell?

How a secretive group of 3,500 math nerds made $39,000,000,000 last year without predicting the market. Jane Street doesn’t care if stocks go up or down. They are a pure math factory. While retail traders gamble on direction, Jane Street uses complex algorithms and high-frequency arbitrage to extract billions from market inefficiencies in milliseconds. They defeated JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs not with money, but with code. Bookmark & watch Bloomberg expose the most profitable and secretive firm on Wall Street. Then read the post below to see a live whale using this exact algorithmic logic to print $200,000 on Polymarket right now

Reporter: Why focus on all these projects as gas prices are soaring? Trump: Such a stupid question. You can understand dirt better than I can baby but I don’t allow it.

Google Chrome is quietly downloading a roughly 4 GB AI model to many users’ computers without clear upfront consent. The file, called weights.bin, is part of Google’s Gemini Nano on-device language model and lands in the browser’s user data folder under OptGuideOnDeviceModel. It powers built-in AI tools such as “Help me write,” smarter tab suggestions, on-device scam detection, and page summarization. The download triggers automatically for devices meeting minimum hardware requirements, and Chrome often replaces the files if deleted. While the model processes data locally, installation happens in the background with minimal notification. The scale is noteworthy. Hundreds of millions or billions of installations add up to thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions globally from data transfer, even though each is a one-time event. To prevent or remove it, go to chrome://flags, disable the entries for the optimization guide on-device model and Prompt API, restart the browser, and manually delete the folder.

Makes me wonder what went on in Anthropic when they decided to give it a male name. You'd think rationalists would have done the feminist thing. But they're also an anti AI cult of sorts so they probably didn't want people to worship it as a female name might have facilitated.
