@zephyr_z9 Tried using Claude Pro for a simple powerpoint format change. It said I hit the limit after 10-15 minutes of processing the request. First use of the day. Utterly useless

@iosif_lazaridis There is nothing wrong with the Introduction. Greek was not used in the West and even Plato's texts had not been translated into Latin until 1483. Byzantine scholars brought the "lost" Greek texts to Italy, which is hardly controversial; western Europe was in the dark ages.

@Athens_Stranger I took a class with Thomas Nagy on Homer, which became pivotal in making me pursue philosophy. His translations of Homer were also much better than anything else I had seen before.

Don't think so. They got 2.6 bln cash from bond sale, why bother with ATM? ATM is just like line of credit. They don't have to use it. $IREN

@NickTimiraos Not a very meaningful add to your post but Core CPI 12-month change should be 2.74331, no? (April-26: 335.423/ April-25: 326.467). I dont see how you got the 2.75 and rounded to 2.8
English

Core CPI was +0.376% in April, and the 12-month measure rounded up to 2.8% (+2.7502%).
Core CPI has basically been moving sideways since October, but looked lower due to the data gap from the government shutdown.

Nick Timiraos@NickTimiraos
Forecasters expect a higher core CPI reading in April owing partly to how the BLS made an assumption during the government shutdown's data blackout that lowered shelter inflation. That quirk goes the other way now.

@themarketear @zerohedge you have been saying this for the last two weeks
English

When vols, memory pricing, and call chasing all go vertical together, you’re no longer trading fundamentals. You’re trading upside panic.

As you get older, you really start to lose patience with Nietzsche's "Look at me! I'm SO different from the classic philosophers! I INVERT their teachings! Aren't I bold and cool and daring!?!?"
No, Friedrich. I'm so very over that spell of yours. I was over it in my 30s.
The only question that matters is Socrates' question: is it true?
Nietzsche is like one of those modern artists who thinks "being good" requires "being original," and then won't make the best art he could, because it is "too similar" to some other artist's work.
Do you think Aquinas cared that he frequently "sounded just like" Aristotle?
No, and you shouldn't either.
You should be much more worried about the question "Why don't I sound like Aristotle here? Where did I go wrong?"
