@EddieDicki97662 @ATabarrok @jbarro When the rate falls everyone prepays at par to reduce interest. When it rises they prepay at a lower price to reduce principal. Switching to a new loan like this is called "lægge om" and your bank advises you on the timing.
English
@EddieDicki97662 @ATabarrok @jbarro Over a thirty year period with rates oscillating up and down prepayment is quite common. Much more than 2-3%.
Prepayments are routinely financed with new loans at the next market rates.

@MalleableFusock @MattyBeer @lobsterpants66 @tubey69meal42 @FeelitWorking @chalkey1973 Yeah this is one of their protections.
English
@MattyBeer @lobsterpants66 @tubey69meal42 @FeelitWorking @chalkey1973 Yes Matt, but that is a fairly specific example to use to prove your point. The big banks had their most profitable year ever in 2025. The most profitable year before was 2024.
They’re doing pretty well despite your concerns.
They should roll out more protections.

A mate of mine who's a joiner priced a job up to supply and fit a full house of doors, told customers 50 % up front to cover materials. The rest on completion. Customers went to the Halifax bank in town today. Bank wouldn't transfer payment . Stating this could be fraud

@mattyglesias It's maybe related that DC was overloaded with January 6th cases?
English
Something I would like to read about in detail is why is there such a large gap between the commission of the crime and the imposition of consequences?
Everyone agrees that swiftly is more impactful than severity per se, but we are very much not delivering that.
U.S. Attorney DC@USAO_DC
Today, Reginald Steele, Jr., 26, was sentenced for killing 13-year-old Malachi Lukes, on March 1, 2020, and for a separate shooting in the Petworth neighborhood on Feb. 22, 2020. Steele and three co-defendants spotted Lukes walking with his three teen friends to play basketball. The defendants followed the boys and pulled into the mouth of an alley where Malachi and his friends had turned. Then the defendant and one of his co-defendants exited the vehicle and fired 11 gunshots. Lukes was shot in the back as he fled and collapsed to his death. Another victim was shot in the leg.

@erikcorry @LizHurra @LaraJBitar Yes he reported their general statement that they’re bombing bridges to disrupt supply lines, then he reports from one already bombed, at which point they return and try to kill him.
English
This is what it looks like when Israel tries to kill a journalist.
RT correspondent Steve Sweeney and cameraman Ali Rida Sbeity are lucky to be alive.
Lara Bitar@LaraJBitar
Israel is the world's most prolific killer of journalists, since October 2023: - It has killed 21 journalists and media workers in Lebanon - And at least 260 in Gaza
English
@MisterBossy @LizHurra @LaraJBitar His own tweet the day before where he quotes Israel as saying they are bombing bridges. This was one of the bridges, which is why he was there.
English
@LizHurra @LaraJBitar The journalist who was nearly killed flatly denies there was any warning. What is your source?
Steve Sweeney@SweeneySteve
Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

@AutismCapital It’s looking more likely that Netanyahu is dead and that would change things.

Is Trump throwing Israel under the bus? What's happening right now?
"Israel...has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran...The United States knew nothing about this attack...NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL...with or without the help or consent of Israel..."
Trump is trying to signal to the public that nobody bosses the US around, but the public believes that Israel bosses the US around.
A very interesting post by Trump. Is he trying to backpedal out of Iran and shift blame?

@JohnDCook It bothered me that the message of the new Frankenstein film is that the monster is just misunderstood, when he's clearly a murderous psycho.

I'll be excited to see how fast it is when Node moves to V8 14.7 and enables v8_enable_cluster_build = true

Erik@erikcorry
Very happy to say this landed. 3x faster V8 compiles available to everyone who uses Ninja to build. Will be part of V8 14.7

Can you guess how long this machine would take to build Node.js?

@jfbastien @_JonKalb If the hotel overflows the conference may turn into a Rust conference.
English
Don’t hesitate. The conference itself won’t sell out, but our room block will and being in the main hotel is so much nicer than being in an overflow hotel.

@memecrashes @grok I'll bite, how to plant trees to hide a house of the area is 500sqm
English
not optimal tree placement, my boy
a countable set of diagonals are covered, sure, but they have Lebesgue measure zero. The rest of the house is visible from a.e. (almost every) surrounding point. If you want to hide your house, first learn measure theory

Okay so apparently there's no thermal pad on MacBook Neo (why?), so it doesn't get hot externally. Explains why Photos keeps saying "Mac needs to cool down" LOL
Dylan@DylanMcD8
does MacBook Neo just... not get hot? I've been doing all kinds of setup and downloads and such and its significantly cooler than my MBP which is just playing music LOL

@fhinkel I'm sure that's true, but the way to fix this is to iterate fast, try this a lot of times and collect experience. That means not having to get approval on a 100 page ethics statement for every dog. It's more like an engineering challenge at this point, not a drug trial situation.

So happy for Rosie. As someone with a PhD in math/bioinformatics, I want to love the story. But the reality is a lot more sobering.
Making a single mRNA vaccine is actually easy now. The hard part isn't the code. The hard part is the biology.
We can predict neoantigens all day using AlphaFold, but the human (or canine) immune system is a black box. Just because the AI says a protein "should" be a target doesn't mean the T-cells will agree.

@mattyglesias I got bored and caught up on my email instead. What happened at the end?

It’s crazy that Frankenstein got so many nominations … did people not notice that the movie was bad?

Musk wants to launch Starship 1,000 times a year. Each launch requires 3,744 tons of liquid oxygen. At that cadence, SpaceX alone would consume 36% of all the oxygen the United States produces. During COVID, hospitals bought so much oxygen that SpaceX couldn't fuel its rockets. Gwynne Shotwell asked a conference audience to email her if they had any to spare. That was at 31 launches a year. They did 165 last year. SpaceX chose stainless steel over carbon fiber because it's abundant. But liquid oxygen has no substitute. When solar demand exploded, polysilicon went from $40 to $475 per kilogram in four years. Oxygen supply faces the same constraint: Air separation plants cost hundreds of millions and take years to permit and build. Reusable rockets made launches cheap. The propellant supply chain is the next bottleneck.
