Quite clear that the bond market can reasonably predict most market crashes / recessions in advance.

@usr_bin_roygbiv Isn’t DeepSeek terrible at coding. I’ve tried v4 twice and regretted it both times. Went back to Codex 5.5

Hot take: They're not subsidized their margins are insane. They are just absolutely raping api customers. Anyone who has used deepseek or hosted anything and done the math on hardware/power costs knows this

@MakerThrive @Replit I can’t imagine look at everyone’s ugly unedited photos. That would be painful.

i didn't think this was actually possible. just built an iOS app fully in @Replit 🤯 the idea is anti-ai instagram only can post via camera no uploads. no filter. no video. just raw photos.

@DissidentPress @MurrayHillGuy1 I am on GLP1, I went from noticeable belly, to pretty lean. Then I had to go overseas for a family emergency for about 3 months. Didn’t have my GLP1 with me and regained 50% of the lost weight. Back on GLP1 again and losing the weight again.

@MurrayHillGuy1 Hope so. If he knows about the rebound then he can prepare counter-measures.

My friend was 5’7”, 190 lbs last October. Got prescribed Ozempic (semaglutide), spent 2 weeks nauseous and quit. A few weeks later he found Retatrutide. Started at 1mg, worked up to 5mg, and said his hunger completely disappeared. He never is hungry and barely boozes. Still infields a ton. Fast forward 6 months: He’s down 45 lbs, still lifts 6 days a week, looks like a different human, and went from getting 1 Hinge match a week to like 25+. People can argue about GLP-1s all they want. All I know is this guy’s life changed and he’s never been happier

@AmanHasNoName_2 @MichaelWalstedt Have you tried mixing Diet Coke and Fairlife protein drink? It’s delicious 😋

If someone can fit 20g protein into a can of Diet Coke without changing the taste and texture , that recipe will make a bigger IPO than Anthropic.

@Dimillian I ask, because it will do the comments properly

Do you actually use the Codex Desktop app git UI or do you ask the model to commit and push on your behalf?

@HaroutKhack Because those people don’t already live in SF?

I hope you enjoy where you live in SF right now because once those IPOs hit you are NOT going to want to pay the new rent prices

@SoniaBaschez Should think about getting your work done at a dental school. Apparently prices are 40% lower than normal market rates.

found a dentist that does a membership for 2 cleanings a year plus savings on everything else and it costs about the same as dental insurance... so what is the point of dental insurance??

@cryptoklotz If they don’t find a problem, they don’t get paid.

-be me -go to new dentist, since my old one retired -new dentist: "you have three cavities" -feel bad vibe, go get a second opinion -"woooah - buddy, you have zero cavities. thank god you came to us. let's just do a cleaning" -send wife to this savior second dentist -"you have six cavities" -wife bails on getting them filled, goes to a different dentist a year later -"woooah gurl, you have zero cavities. thank god you didn't get them filled" why is dentistry like this 😭

@MichaelJMurphy @bergesonmt @AmericanAir According to Gemini, insufficient availability of wheelchairs during peak travel times are common.

@bergesonmt @AmericanAir This is definitely partly true, we accepted the risk of a delay - but I don't accept the wheelchairs not being there, the stress that caused, and being dangerously seperated.

Tonight I feel like telling my @AmericanAir story, because they deserve it. My parents both have dementia, actually my Dad has Alzheimers and my Mom has dementia. When they needed to get to a funeral for a family member, it was clear someone from the family needed to chaperone them to ensure safe travel, and I was happy to do that. I booked the tickets, for the three of us, and booked wheelchair service for our American Airlines flight from Madison WI to Grand Junction CO. When looking for flights, my only goal was to find the most convenient flight for my parents - to limit the stress of flying, traveling, in unknown places. Typically, a United flight from MSN to Denver would be the path, with a quick jump to Grand Junction. For the time of our flights, that would mean a six hour layover. instead, I chose to fly MSN to DFW, with a one hour and 15 minute layover. In @MSN_Airport our wheelchairs were there, as expected, and as booked. Being slightly nervous about our shorter connection, I asked the agents to call ahead to DFW and double check if our wheelchairs would be there, I personally overhead this call and was assured they would be there. They were not. And this is where things start to fall apart, get dangerous, and then fall apart again. Our wheelchairs were not there, terminal C, we needed to get to B1. 35 minutes later, still no wheelchair - my parents (both with dementia) were allowed to get on a golf cart, to try and make the flight. I was not allowed to go with them, because I was not "disabled". This meant my parents, who have me along purely to chaperone, were seperated from me - no clue what was going on, and I had to run - physically - to try and meet them at the gate. We missed our flight, and as a result, missed our family funeral visitation - the sole purpose of the flight. A couple things make this worse: 1. Once dropped at B1, and missing our flight - we still had no wheelchairs, and the golf cart left. The flight was already gone, because we were significantly late. Abandoned is the word I'd use, because a gate agent rebooked us on a flight out of gate B28, six hours later, without bothering to care we needed a way to get there - and that walk is significant. We waited another HOUR, and got one wheelchair. Two hours later we finally had the two wheelchairs we booked. Nothing can replace what we went through, dangerous - fear and stress - and most importantly, a missed funeral. Americans response to this? First they offered a voucher for lunch. I declined. Next, I emailed this story to the CEO Robert Ison, who thought he could buy us for a $250 credit. The kicker to all this? While in the air on our first flight.....American was trying to buy our seats because they oversold it, for $450 a seat. We obviously didn't accept this, because we wanted to get to the family funeral - the whole reason for our travel! So us not taking the $450 offer per seat, meant we missed our flight, missed the funeral, experienced extreme amounts of stress - and somehow that is owrth $250 to American Airlines. I don't want a single penny from this company, I don't want flight credits - I honestly never want to fly with them again. What I do want? For others to hear this story, for them to formally apologize to my parents, and for some type of penalty to be applied to them that is significant enough they can never treat another customer like this, ever again.

@MichaelJMurphy @tutueme @AmericanAir Isn’t the lesson here to treat wheelchairs availability as fragile, like the weather, or airplane engine failure. For all you knew another plane landed 10 mins before you and that plane’s passengers took all of the available wheelchairs.

@tutueme @AmericanAir This is somewhat true, and there was certainly some risk of being late if anything happened - but if the wheelchairs were there as expected, we would have made this flight with plenty of time to spare.

@pete_the_heat19 @PeterMallouk The weather. It’s so mild year round.

@PeterMallouk If you are not fabulously wealthy why live in SF unless your job requires it?

What it takes to be wealthy in America.

@GETBrainTrust @QuincyAvery You have no idea who made any of the ads you see everyday, be they online or in print, those are all creative works. Nor do you know who built most houses you see everyday. No do you know who designed the clothes you wear. The list is endless.

@QuincyAvery Every article lists the author. Every painting lists the artist. Every film lists the director. Every song lists the singer. All creative works list the creator.

Maybe I just don’t understand. Why do photographers expect both payment and a tag? What other industry gets paid for the work and also expects promotion from the customer afterward? Genuinely asking. I’m open to being wrong if there’s something I’m missing.

@bavedikian @ScooterScottUSA @BestBuy @FedEx For big ticket items, you should actually send to store, and go pick it up in person and open it up right in front of them to check. So that there is no he said she said. Sometimes the item in the box is just a brick.

@ScooterScottUSA @BestBuy @FedEx Yes I'll be using Amazon moving forward. They'd never treat a customer like this.

Bought a $1,742.80 camera online from BestBuy. The FedEx delivery driver stole it. FedEx admitted it. But BestBuy won’t give a refund. They said we need to “work with local law enforcement.” Thought everyone should know if you buy from @BestBuy and a @FedEx driver steals what you paid for, your money is gone. Neither company will make it right. I’ve spent over $30K at BestBuy and will never spend another penny there.

@77hhhfhfgfbfdh @Mr_Husky1 Google Gemini backs up all the facts in the post. I didn’t know who this woman was before reading this post. g.co/gemini/share/1…

@Mr_Husky1 don't buy the can't pay for a hotel room. She's been playing tennis since she was what 8? Who paid for that very expensive lifestyle? Coaches, travel, equipment, etc. She likely has sponsors.

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room. She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill. Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final. Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat. Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped. She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won. By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million. One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

@thecyrusjanssen There was a book (I think) called The China Study. It talks about how healthy the Chinese use to be in the 1970s (or whenever) and then western food was introduced and their health declined with increase consumption of western foods

There are many reasons why China now has a higher average life span than the United States but one of the main reason is the simplicity of the Chinese diet. Traveling in Guangzhou today and eating a local meal. This cost 21.6 RMB (about $3.20 USD) and gives you everything you need. Carbs, protein, and veggies. Served fresh with most importantly a normal portion size. America’s obesity problem could be solved overnight if we just adapted better eating habits

@prieurdp Depends on how big an Asian population you have where you live. In some parts of Asia everyone reverse park. Also if you park somewhere near a stadium, you’d be an idiot not to reverse park as the massive amount of people all leaving at once would make it harder to leave.

Why do people reverse into parking spaces? At first it was one or two misdirected fools, now it's spreading like a disease. It makes no sense. You are only making it so much harder for yourself, and everyone hates you as you block the road trying to get into the space.

@PeterMmuo @jack It was on TikTok last year sometime. Not an original idea.

@jack They definitely got this idea from this viral post

pay by magic

@munster_gene @SpaceX Grok is programmed to have a heavy right wing bent. That is hardly free of censorship that you wrote about.

When discussing how @SpaceX will trade in the month after its IPO, the $1.77T valuation is less important. The bigger number is the $75B primary raise (potentially $86B with overallotment), which should fuel an IPO pop given the very limited float. Longer term, there should be little debate. SpaceX should be a core tech holding. Like him or not, Elon is a generational founder, and the company’s position as the leader in sovereign AI stands alone when it comes to durable long term growth potential.

@GaryMarcus Isn’t the danger that if your line of thinking is proven false in the long long, anyone not in the race now is heavily handicapped. None of these hyperscalers can afford to not be in this race.

Why things will eventually fall apart: 1. Everybody, even Google, seems to be treating AI as if it were some kind of winner take all competition like web search was, in which Google taking over 95% 2. But everybody is building essentially the same technical solution with essentially the same data, so there is no moat. 3. If there is no moat, nobody is going to take 90% of the market. 4. With no clear winners, nobody can charge monopoly prices; instead, you get price wars and commodity pricing. 5. Which means everybody will wind up overpaying compared to the modest profits they will be able to make in an intensely competitive regime. Am I missing something?

@RealDayTrading It really no longer makes sense when people have crypto and prediction markets

The PDT rule is being eliminated. I am going to write an article on how I think this will impact traders but I am curious what everyone else thinks - Do you like the removal of this rule?
