It was hard to keep this quiet, the deal has been in the works for a long time.
I’ve agreed to sell my app portfolio for $1.68M. Full details tomorrow.
Now I need to process it… and figure out what’s next.

@FlorinPop17 IMHO I think they are aiming for the revenue share incentives, not the reach itself. You will reach other countries, but you will be payed a lot less, if anything.

@Antunes1 We’ve love to hear your thoughts about living in Portugal. I’m sure you have plenty of great stories about your day to day experience there. Of course, you’re welcome to continue chiming in on America politics. We just won’t send money overseas for that content.

I hope they don’t turn it into TikTok where you can’t break the barrier of your country even if you speak in another language
Nikita Bier@nikitabier
Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

@jaredlcm In the beginning, I probably asked ChatGPT at least 4 times to update its memory and stop anthropomorphizing itself, which I find deceiving. The idea that it’s “thinking” while processing an answer, as promoted by many models, is also bad.

Disturbing anecdotal reports of "AI psychosis" and negative psychological effects have been emerging in the news. But what actually happens during these lengthy delusional "spirals"? In our preprint, we analyze chat logs from 19 users who experienced severe psychological harm🧵👇

@joshrauh So, Hollywood billionaires would also have an incentive to move somewhere else, or am I missing something?
English
Let this sink in. California wealth tax architect Saez admits it here: he would let 80% of billionaires leave CA, liquidating Silicon Valley and its jobs, for an extra $2 billion per year in revenues. This is in a state that spends $325 billion per year, up by 68% since 2019.

@MarcusMcDermot3 @GlitterPixely Yep, happened with me. You can ask for the credits back by the e-mail they provide on the help center
English
@GlitterPixely Who else is not getting credits refunded on failed gens? At $40 for 12-14 vids, you'd hope they could figure this out

Everybody panic! Seedance 2.0 is now available in CapCut! 😅

@aod_cunha Deturpação completa do inciso XI, do Art 37. É claro que verba indenizatória não pode ser 90% do todo recebido e só 10% sujeito a este teto, como vemos em vários casos. planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/cons…
Português
Claríssima a intenção da CF: a remuneração e o subsídio dos ocupantes de cargos... públicos... e os proventos, pensões ou outra espécie remuneratória... incluídas as vantagens pessoais ou de qualquer outra natureza, não poderão exceder o subsídio mensal ... dos Ministros do STF
Português
Teto de verdade ou legalização dos penduricalhos?
Só há uma forma de se terminar com a “indústria de penduricalhos” (assim bem definida pelo Ministro Flávio Dino):
Uma lei que deixe claro qual o limite máximo de qualquer remuneração no setor público. Sem excessões, sem indenizações, sem penduricalhos de qualquer ordem.
O pior que poderia ocorrer a partir da decisão do Ministro Dino é se legalizar os penduricalhos já concedidos.
Aod Cunha@aod_cunha
Os maiores pagamentos extra teto, principalmente no Judiciário, são as “indenizações”. Por tanto, se essas continuarem excluídas da regra do teto, pouca efetividade terá a decisão de hoje do Ministro Flávio Dino.

Harvard professor Arthur C. Brooks drops a raw, evolutionary truth bomb on marriage:
Women crave adoration ("Baby, you're everything—I'd take a bullet for you, you're insane-level beautiful & I'd protect you forever").
Men crave admiration ("That's the biggest gazelle I've ever seen you drag in—you're so strong & capable").
The simple, no-BS secret to a great marriage?
1. Adore her relentlessly—even when you don't "feel" it.
2. Be admirable—actually earn her respect through action, not ego.
It's not complicated, but it's brutally honest: Fake the adoration until it becomes real; become the man worth admiring.
Couples who've tried this—does the adoration/admiration dynamic actually shift everything? Or is it oversimplified? Drop your real experience below.

Big upgrade to vibe coding in @GoogleAIStudio lands in Jan, but if you want to test early… 👇🏻

@levelsio They look happy, like their mission was accomplished.

The problem is there's not a single tech person in this entire group
It's bureaucrats bureacrating!

💻 I just wanted to show how easy it is getting a GPU in the regular way compared to the 🇪🇺 EU's "AI Factory" plan where you have to apply for a proposal Funnily enough @LambdaAPI actually shows "Design your AI Factory" on their landing, maybe they're trying to get that juicy EU money too (but I don't think they have servers in EU anyway) So I sign up/login, select what GPU I want, like 8x H100s, which is $24/hour, select the location, add a filesystem and launch the server Then about 5 minutes later, I have a running 8x H100 cluster, with a Jupyter notebook ready with Terminal access and I can see and work with my GPUs! And no Lambda did not ask me if I was mindful of "Individual, and Social and Environmental Well-Being", and I did not need to apply to some proposal, and wait months. They just gave me a GPU to build a business on, within 5 minutes, as it should be! If the EU wants to help AI startups, the infrastructure is already there! Just fund/subsidize GPU rent prices for European citizens and businesses on existing European hosting companies like @Hetzner_Online or @OVHcloud that already have GPUs (where the process of getting a server is pretty much the same as Lambda btw) For example, a 8x H100 is $24/hour now but with EU's funding could be $12/hour, giving European startups an unfair advantage to compete with the rest of the world for training and inference (generating) Personally I don't think you should mess with the market like that, but this was the EU's intention, so then do it properly! I thought about it in the shower this morning and realized I guess the fundamental problem in the EU is they just don't respect technology or the people making it. And they don't listen to them like they do elsewhere in for example US or China. You have lots of European founders who'd tell you the same I tell you here, but they're never heard by the EU either In the US you have the top tech CEOs and founders at dinner with the president regularly to advise him and it feels more properly run and they actually listen to smart people In China you have essentially technocrats running the country and fair you can disagree with their system (see Jack Ma etc. not great oaky) but they do understand tech as we can see from how fast they progress and deploy it But the EU just never listens to skilled people, it's always design by committee by midwits and the EU is just systemically rekt like that. It's not a meritocracy at all But I'm a European and an eternal optimist, so maybe we can help improve it by telling them how to do it then (like this tweet) See how easy it could be @vonderleyen

@SilvaCodes @tphuang 真是个好问题，但中国存在外汇管制，对外国人的限制非常多，所以，外国人可能在中国开心的游玩，但是上海并不能成为下一个迈阿密。

While most Vietnam visitors into China are probably checking out Yunnan via train, this seem to be spreading to Shanghai also.
Shanghai has long been China's 1st stop for many foreign visitors. A lot of Japanese, Korean & Russians. I wonder if Shanghai will become for ASEAN countries what Miami is for Latin American countries.
Basically, a metropolis that not only shapes nearby areas but the entire region from cultural & social trends & such.
If you have ever been to South America, you'd see that a lot of local elites have connections to Miami. They like to compare wealthy & nicer part of their cities to Miami. People w/ money buy homes in Miami. And business open their US branch in Brickell.
If there is 1 city in China that could probably have that kind of magnetism for surrounding Asian population, that would be Shanghai. Shenzhen is more technologically advanced, but ppl are workaholics. Beijing is too political & far north. Chongqing is too inland & probably not as fashionable.
Shanghai checks all the boxes.

Cross-border tourism between China and Vietnam has surged this year, with a railway station on the China-Vietnam border reporting a sharp rise in Vietnamese visitors, according to local media. bit.ly/47KtMCv

@wrwmbt @tphuang Many rich latin americans buy property or set up LLCs and keep their money in the US because there’s instability in their countries. Local governments may seize their assets for whatever reason or if you say the wrong thing. They are treated better than regular tourists, usually.

@SilvaCodes @tphuang I don’t think China is sending tourists to prisons with alligators

@ai_for_success Idk in the far future, but in the near future this is not happening. The USA’s per capta income is less than 7500 USD/month

With all the GPT4-will-change-everything hype and fanfare happening now, it is worth mentioning that I just had to deal with some rural contractors that DIDN’T HAVE EMAIL ADDRESSES. The system of the world has more inertia than it sometimes seems.

@realEstateTrent Well, this is literally just a wild guess, but haven’t the taxes already started? Isn’t a large share of vegetables and fertilizers actually imported rather than produced in the USA?
English
Hey world any idea why vegetable prices are up almost 40%
zerohedge@zerohedge
prices for fresh and dry vegetables jumped 38.9%.

@minchoi I honestly think most users won’t care or even notice it. Consider that more than 90% of Plus users hadn’t used “thinking” models until recently.

Sam Altman@sama
the percentage of users using reasoning models each day is significantly increasing; for example, for free users we went from <1% to 7%, and for plus users from 7% to 24%. i expect use of reasoning to greatly increase over time, so rate limit increases are important.
