Remember that these $50b go somewhere. What people do with money is that they invest it into making more money by the same means. Meaning that fraud industrial complex in California alone is flush with 50b to invest into causing more fraud. If you want to know why things are so fucked up, look no further than these examples (assuming they are true).

EXCLUSIVE: Multiple senior HHS officials estimate that, under Gavin Newsom, California's state Medicaid program has lost 25 percent of its budget to fraud. This would mean it is currently losing $50 billion a year to scammers, fraudsters, and organized crime rings.

@downey_dustin The gini coefficient needs to go up. More people create value and get reward for it. Making this low just means all the most capable people left or don’t bother to use their skills

@tobi Honestly this is a clear indicator of heavy gini-coefficient in future years.

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Introducing cmux SSH: `cmux ssh user@remote` You can now drag images into SSH'd Claude Code sessions, and cmux will automatically upload them via scp. And when you start a dev server on the remote machine, the browser pane in cmux can reach it at localhost:3000 without port forwarding. The workspace kinda becomes the remote machine, so split panes/new tabs automatically open remote shells. Out in the latest version of cmux (0.63).

Still can’t believe we were able to get tinker(dot)com. Love that Shopify is run by @tobi, @fnthawar, and a bunch of other internet kids that still geek out over grabbing a great domain. Also, the design team crushed it with the website. Such a fun project to work on.

Thanks to Swiss voters, the referendum to introduce a 50% inheritance tax on fortunes above 50 million francs—aimed at funding the fight against “climate change” was rejected with 78% voting “No.”

pi-autoresearch has been incredible for running experiments against our codebase, but I wanted a way to more selectively cherry-pick which ones become PRs, plus a few other bells and whistles. So I built pi-autoresearch-studio: granular experiment-to-PR selection with auto-resolved dependencies. My first @badlogicgames Pi extension.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
