@Rory_Johnston Ignorant question: Why is brent still only at $96-97 given all this?
English
A real ceasefire that even partially reopened the Strait of Hormuz—even under suboptimal conditions and effective Iranian control—would be a godsend to supply-parched markets on the edge of breaking and would spare considerable economic and human misery.
A fake ceasefire announcement meant to placate markets actually worsens the long-term consequences of this crisis by delaying more durable adjustments to ongoing shortages.
The Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

हेर्नोस्, देशको रूप बदल्न योगदान गर्न सकिएन, त्यसैले आफ्नै रूप बदल्ने विचार गरेँ। कस्तो लाग्यो बर्षौँपछिको नयाँ चस्माको फ्रेम, सुहायो? (म जीवनका रङ्गहरूमा रमाउने मान्छे। सधैँ गम्भिलो कुरा मात्र के गर्नु! बेलाबेलामा हलुको, ठट्यौलो, व्यङ्गिलो, रसिलो कुरा नगरी मनले मान्दैन। नत्र त जीवन ठेसिलो भैहाल्छ नि, होइन?)

@ZacharyDonnini Isn't that less vote for Shawn then Kamala. Maybe it's the story of opposition having less enthusiasm for voting

@bechhof @AlecStapp None of what you described sounds like a hard cliff that cannot be overcome
English
@AlecStapp It is but it's quite constrained especially given how the extended thinking is just one loop, with problems like being more prone to the injection trick from new websites and drift from branching into particular lines of reasoning. It's not intense division of labor

Mind-boggling to me that journalists at prestigious publications are still saying stuff like this

What if the whole LLM thing is a false start? If the flaws are inherent systemic problems - if the compounding of hallucinations/errors can't be sorted out? If the capex build out is one of the biggest misallocations of capital ever? Then what? bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

@Noahpinion Are you telling me that POTUS just had a dating mishap?
English
Both men and women have a tendency to get inappropriately pessimistic about dating and romance after bad experiences.
But for women, pessimism tends to mean "Sigh, guess I'll end up alone", while for men it's usually "The world is evil and I have to destroy it"

@kkmaway If you know basic python or shell scripts and the like then you can ask llm to give you what you need or make it do for you while you do basic check. Not sure whether that meets your criteria

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

@mattyglesias Iranian decapitation happened on Day 1. Khamenei is dead. His replacement has yet to emerge.

A consistent theme of the last 25 years is that the American military is tactically brilliant, which repeatedly leads politicians to come up with ambitious strategic goals for the use of military force that can’t really be achieved.

@jasonc_nc I was reading replies to this, one thing is clear - it's very hard to understand distribution. There's distribution in preference, in societal organization philosophy etc. We still struggle to appreciate it even when we mean well

Dollar General discourse is funny to me because anyone who actually lives near one is like “man I’m glad I don’t have to drive 25 minutes if I forget a couple basic things” whereas the person who doesn’t even live there is like “this is a pox upon rural Americans”.

Dollar Generals are a parasite on small town America

@Daractenus Serious answer: most of the 35-40% do not watch news or feeds. They support him for the vibes they once felt - that surreal feeling superior to that immigrant brown doctor. They can only say hell Mary to the guy who gave them that. They are not going to care about anything else.
English
The fact that some 35% of US adults and nearly the entirety of the Republican Party continue to fanatically support this very visibly insane man that is somehow getting worse by the day is simply unforgivable. What the actual fuck is wrong with all of you?

@paulg @ChrisVanHollen It's an operation of Epstein File Distraction. What are you expecting?

@ChrisVanHollen Yes, but the good news is that if he's claiming victory it may mean he's about to stop this stupid exercise.

Prediction: When fighting Iran gets too painful because of oil prices or polls or whatever, Trump will claim that the current state of things, whatever it happens to be, was his goal, declare victory, and retreat.
English
Wednesday night, Trump claimed victory in his war in Iran.
This has been anything but a win. Iran now firmly controls the Strait of Hormuz & its leaders are more hardline than before.
We are less safe & Americans, the region, & the world are paying a very heavy price.

@uttambabu This model misses the fact that about a fifth of Nepali families are reliant on Gulf remittance in flows for many expenses.

द इकोनोमिस्टका अनुसार, अमेरिका/इजरायल र इरान युद्धका कारण बढ्दो तेलको मूल्य र तेल बजारमा भएकाे अनिश्चितताले निम्त्याउने जोखिम र त्यो वहन गर्न सक्ने क्षमताको तुलना गर्दा, नेपाल उच्च जोखिम भएकाे तर उच्च जाेखिम वहन क्षमता भएको देशमा पर्दो रहेछ।

म नेपालबाट परम्परागत काँसको भाँडा लिएर आएको थिएँ, तर CDC को रिपोर्ट पढेर अब प्रयोग गर्न डर लागिरहेको छ। न्यूयोर्कमा एक गर्भवती नेपाली महिलाले यस्तै काँस र पित्तल को भाँडा प्रयोग गर्दा उनको, श्रीमान् र बच्चाको रगतमा Lead को स्तर खतरनाक रूपमा बढेको थियो ।
नेपालमा Lead को अर्को डरलाग्दो स्रोत भनेको बेसार हो। Lead Chromate मिसाएर पहेँलो बनाउने गरिन्छ। नेपालको भान्सामा हरेक दिन प्रयोग हुने बेसारको sample पनि test हुनु अत्यन्त जरुरी छ। नेपालमा यस्ता भाँडा र बेसार दुवैको testing र नियमन गर्ने जिम्मेवारी कसको हो?
तुरुन्त testing र कडा मापदण्ड लागू होस्!

@krishna_joshi01 @chemjongd @sasmitp For (3) they need a pre-populated list of universities for which you are automatically recognized. It should cover 99% of all cases.

@chemjongd @sasmitp Scrap NOC (nobody knows what purpose it serves other than to maintain a count of the students heading abroad) & not sure about 2, but 3 is required to ascertain the genuineness of the foreign degree-yes, they need to simplify the process of obtaining this validation.

Good decision, Dear Minister @sasmitp . 3 absolutely irrelevant processes: 1) NoC (from MoE), 2) Equivalence of one’s degree from abroad, 3)Migration certificate, at ‘Versities in Nepal,have been the pain in neck for the youths. Please initiate the process to scrap all of them.

@iopq @atlanticesque Make sure to build a 10 ft wide lead wall and 10ft wide concrete blast container before your neighbor sue you to the oblivion for leaking all that radiation to their property.

One of Jane Jacobs' subtler, neater points is that the discomforts of economic growth are self-solving.
She used the example of noise. It's fine that cities are noisy. We shouldn't try to make them less noisy through zoning, because that will drive innovation in soundproofing.
Bobby Fijan@bobbyfijan
Rowhouses need to be great (again) both in what you see: aesthetics, and in what you DON’T hear: soundproofing A key benefit of using industrial manufacturing is *so that* we can deliver dense, heavy, energy efficient walls where you do not hear your neighbors! @americanhousing

@CletusCornpone @mattyglesias Which model what prompt? Without those it's not clear whether you even used it correctly.
English
@mattyglesias No, for non-technical writing it is absolutely not 99.9th percentile like Scalabrine was.
How do I know this? Because I finished applying to law school recently and everything it produced in response to essay prompts couldn’t even be used as a template.
Useful editor though.

@atlanticesque I don't think she understands chemical factories. If you are so libertarian what do you think of a nuclear plant in the neighborhood?

@atlanticesque What do you think of a chemical plant at the middle of city ?
Not saying we have the right amount of regulations but absolutes don't really work either
English
We could have made cities illegal because they were filthy. Instead, we developed and built sewers.
Or we could've banned tall buildings, because climbing up all those stairs is miserable. Instead, we invented the elevator.
But now, we're choking off that innovative energy.
