i’m extremely down with making fun of the SF-billboardization of everything but I think the 50+ year old Unix utilities can get a free pass

Can I get a Colorado native/resident to come up with a pithy brand name for Denver’s Commie Corridor?
Ellis Bates@ElliscbIV
CO-1 looks like it could be the heart of Colorado’s Commie Corridor. Compared to NY-7, its demographics are similar, and in some ways better for progressives. It’s more educated, whiter, wealthier, and, despite having fewer renters, is Colorado’s most renter-heavy district.

A growing faction of affluent, older New Yorkers who relocated during the pandemic are buying “med-à-terres”—second properties back home to keep them connected to their medical specialists. on.wsj.com/4a01p3n

@TheStalwart You love your job and you’ve been doing it for 20 years. You’re good at it and it makes you feel smart and gives you a sense of accomplishment. Is it so hard to imagine not jumping at the opportunity to automate half of the work you do, even if easy/good quality?

Here's what's weird about this Amazon tokenmaxxing story to me. How is it that, online, there's so much consensus that the models are objectively useful for coding, and that 80% is a "target" for developer use. Why wouldn't they all be using it it makes their job easier?

The FT says that Amazon employees are doing random unnecessary task automations to consume tokens and to show their bosses that they're using AI more ft.com/content/8ee0d3…

@MattZeitlin @TheStalwart doing minority report but sending the subject a strongly worded letter asking them to not do a crime instead of arresting them is maybe the best of both worlds

brandon scott's odd lots interview is amazing, he's talking up baltimore's violence interruptors program but then also explains that they essentially have a precrime system to prevent future murders

thought these Blue Dog types were serious about good responsible fiscal policy? guess not. this tax-negative slopulism is embarrassing

Thank you so much to the Clark County Sheriff’s office for taking me out for a ride along. It’s an honor to get a chance to see what you’re up against firsthand. In DC, I’m working to provide tax relief on the first $100,000 of federal income tax for law enforcement. We need to think creatively about how to support law enforcement and first responder health and wellness. Read the full story: tinyurl.com/4ncmssvj

@conorjrogers they don’t even amortize over the year like they would for any other tax

One of the most radicalizing moments of my life was when I learned that they just stop collecting social security taxes on money earned over like $150K. Like you just suddenly keep 3-6% more money on all money over that threshold.
Fuck You I Quit@fuckyouiquit
Every dollar earned below $184,500 a year has a Social Security tax of 12.4%. Everything after that cap is exempt. If we lift this cap on the wealthiest earners, Social Security would be fully funded till 2070. The cap should not exist.

Awesome. I live right near this building, not only is it one of the best connected spots in Brooklyn if not the entire city (six lines via DeKalb Ave, Hoyt-Schermerhorn, Nevins St) the existing spot is dilapidated, miserable, and much of it completely unused.

Big News: @nyccouncil today approved what will be one of the largest residential buildings in the nation. 395 Flatbush Ave Ext in Downtown Brooklyn will no long be an (ugly) low-rise. It will become a tower with 1,200 homes, 25% of which will be permanently affordable. Made possible by NYC's new high-density zoning rules. Start of a new era. We need much more of this.
