@ListClose @KobeissiLetter That’s the game of capitalism in general, isn’t it?

@KobeissiLetter Own assets or work for people who do. That's basically the whole game since 1976. The bottom 50% had more debt than assets for nearly 20 years. Stimulus checks shouldn't be the turning point.

Wealth inequality in the US has never been wider: The real wealth of the top 0.001% of US households has grown +3,500% since 1976. At the same time, inflation-adjusted wealth of the top 0.01% and 0.1% has surged +2,200% and +1,200%, respectively. By comparison, the average household has seen just a +200% increase. As a result, there are now ~430,000 households worth $30 million or more, with ~74,000 worth over $100 million. Meanwhile, ~72% of wealth for the top 0.1% is concentrated in corporate equities, mutual funds, and private businesses. To put this into perspective, the bottom 50% of US households had more debt than assets for nearly 2 decades, with their average wealth turning positive after the 2020 pandemic, following stimulus checks and growing home values. Asset owners are the only winners.

@paya_paya_kun Are these signs of ADHD? I tried to get consulation with two different psycologists and they sort of dismissed me and my symptoms

ADHD傾向がある人が「ずっと夜更かしをしている」のは、明日が来てほしくないからです。どんなに楽しい夜でも、眠ってしまえば朝が来ます。朝がやって来れば、また嫌なことが待っています。締め切り、約束、やり残した仕事やトラブル。自分が先送りにしてきたすべてのものが、朝になった瞬間にどっと押し寄せてきます。 だから眠れないし、眠りません。夜のうちは、まだ「今日」です。眠らない限り、明日は来ない。その感覚を最後の砦にして、ひたすら夜を引き伸ばし続けます。 社会に対する最大の抵抗が「夜更かし」です。 私です。

@burkov I think people don’t know what they want nor what is possible with software yet. How can a LLM, a tool based on grabbing patterns based on previous data, be able to solve this for people then? To qualify this, I don’t think AGI has been fully unlocked by LLMs yet

The truth is, no one, including those who are working on LLMs, knows whether they will have a job in computing next year or beyond. The only successful AI app is a chatbot that writes code. But who needs your code if they can just use this app and get the same code?

@dev_maims Better code as in it can predict the software UI/UX that best fits the user’s use case? I guess I wouldn’t be doing software then

Software Engineers, what’s your backup plan if Artificial Intelligence writes better code than you in 2 years?

@valhalla_dev I personally agree for myself. It just feels higher stakes to “run the code” in a a hardware context vs software

Almost every SWE I've ever met that was not in game dev or robotics/embedded/electrical engineering at least in part wishes they were

@John702Money @unusual_whales Do you think the average American is aware of the larger tax obligations they will incur in April if they do this?

@unusual_whales This is legitimately good advice and anyone complaining will criticize the Trump administration no matter what they say

Bessent: I want to encourage everyone out there watching today to change their withholding ... you will get an automatic real wage increase on a weekly or a monthly basis.

How do you guys know you’re interacting with real people and not just bots?

@kane @paultoo I would love to see how much is in administrative salary bloat. The educational professional “elite” coalition is real

Please bro just one more tax will fix it trust me bro

@trikcode Bro it’s only been months

Anthropic is starting to look like Google in 2002, and OpenAI is starting to look like Yahoo in 2002.

@heart_ I coded this website in weekend so that’s worth something nextgame.gg

I still have no idea what people do all day with their $200/mo “AIs” except making dashboards and cleaning e-mails

@AllbonesJones Auto-translate is awesome! It’s completely chaotic, but the cross-cultural exchange is unprecedented!

Auto-translate feels like releasing invasive species into Japan. I saw a Japanese threatening a Russian by pirating Dostoevsky, only for the Russian to reply with a pirate site and some book recommendations. They have no natural defenses against these people. RIP the ecosystem.

@averagemoneymd Be more volatile Average Money Joe. It’s either ramen or lambos

Last month, we received a family gift of $260,000. We debated a lot and ultimately decided for a few reasons to drop it all on our 3.75% mortgage. Our mortgage went from $750k --> $490k We recognize we could have made much more investing, but it felt secure to take a little risk off the table. Mortgage calculator shows this will save us $285k in interest. We then recasted our mortgage and our payment dropped from ~$3,800 to ~$2,400. A little bit closer to freedom.

@DramaNow What happened to her face? Is she on Ozempic?

Pokimane says she no longer feels comfortable streaming after constantly getting objectified “you can’t expect me to act like how I did at 21”

@xitfirst @daltonleepruitt They’re not paying taxes anyways, so what’s the point of keeping them? Or you have a naive take that the their investments will directly lead to significantly increased jobs in their home town?

I make $45k/year, my truck payment is $800/month, and I am boiling mad about this.

@Yuchenj_UW Contrarian truth: AI replacing team design SaaS is bluster. What’ll happen is designers co-opting AI for faster prototyping. Figma (and Adobe) have collaboration process UI/UX moat that’s entrenched in majority artist workflow

Figma stock 20 minutes after the Claude Design announcement. Wild.

@josealva @cyber_razz That’s fcked up. Using US law to gain financial support (but you can’t use it to gain custody) Then using Japanese law to kidnap your kid from the spouse (and you have no recourse since you’re not a Japanese citizen)

@cyber_razz His wife really screwed him. She took off with their kid to Japan. Then she later filed for child support in California. What right does she have to file in California if she doesn't live there

Build the Base.
