Another nasty #CGT surprise from @AlboMP & @JEChalmers Budget: Young Aussies doing the classic overseas stint, London, NYC, wherever now will lose the #CGT discount/indexation on their investments if they relinquish tax residency.
This is straight-up taxing young Australians rite of passage. Punishing ambition and global experience. This insane #CGT must be stopped.
We must Win the War on aspiration and stop the #CGT

Mark Zuckerberg says he is not an AI researcher -- so here is the one number he obsesses over to win the superintelligence race:
"I'm not an AI researcher. So it's not like I'm in there telling them what research ideas to do."
"The things that I can do as CEO of the company are: I can make sure that we have the very best people and talent density. I can make sure that we have by far the highest compute per researcher, and that we do whatever it takes to go build out all that capacity."
"We're building this Prometheus cluster, which is going to be the first gigawatt-plus single cluster, a contiguous cluster for training, coming online next year."
"We're building a cluster in Louisiana that is going to be 5 gigawatt, and we're building several more clusters like that that are just going to be multiple gigawatts."
"We're talking about many hundreds of billions of dollars of capital. So you both need to have a good business model that can support it, and you need to believe in it."
The tell: the richest lab in the world is not optimizing headcount. It is optimizing compute-per-researcher, and betting hundreds of billions that whoever owns the biggest contiguous cluster owns the frontier.
Talent gets you into the room. Watts decide who leaves with the model.

"No Tim, Steam users deserve fair treatment."

Tim Sweeney@TimSweeneyEpic
Is this the "fair competition" praised by recent articles? If a store with dominant market share taking a 30% cut can bully developers into not passing on savings to customers on competing stores with lower fees, then competition doesn't stand a chance.

Hermes Agent comes with a truly absurd number of skills pre-enabled. Over 100 of them. This is roughly half.
I get what they're going for - they want an agent that comes "ready out of the box".
I just don't get why every user has to have a polymarket skill, 3 baoyu art skills (? never heard of this), a headless Pokemon skill, and Minecraft modpack server skills, all available the first time they run it.
I guess Hermes Agent just isn't for me.

@theo They're nonsense for you maybe. We didn't make hermes just for you. If you want an empty soulless experience, not ready ootb for anyone, try openclaw
