I’m calling it. We have high inflation

@DavidPocock Mate just do us all a favour and run for PM

Surely we can do better than this? Despite 12 month+ avg wait times the budget didn't fund a single extra home care package. This report exists because of an amendment I negotiated to make govts more transparent & accountable. 48,000 older Australians are on a 'triage' waitlist - that's the waitlist to get on the waitlist for an aged care assessment to then get on the waitlist for a Support at Home package 🤯 Hundreds of thousands waiting for support. We have to do better. abc.net.au/news/2026-05-1…

@AEyeInc …you are making $101,000? As an American public company?

Q1 2026 results are in: revenue up ~60% YoY to $101K, 21 customers with revenue-generating shipments (up 31% since the Q4 call), and quotes and engagements each up nearly 40% QoQ. 2026 cash burn outlook reaffirmed at $30–$35M (including ~$5M working capital), with runway well into 2028.

@rationalaussie Not a serious cuntry

Australia is a country where if you win $500k on an 8 leg multi on SportsBet you won't have to pay any tax, but if you sell your business for $500k you'll have to give the government half. What are we incentivising here? How fucking retarded do you have to be to run your country this way?

@HedgieMarkets Utilities being utilities

🦔A data center in Fayetteville, Georgia, drained approximately 30 million gallons of water through two industrial-scale hookups that the local utility did not know existed. One connection had been installed without the utility's knowledge, and the other was not linked to any account and therefore was not being billed. The discovery only came after residents complained about low water pressure. The campus is still under construction with completion projected three to five years out. A separate incident in Tucson last week saw Project Blue's contractor caught trucking municipal water out of a city that had explicitly voted against the project, with Tucson revoking the temporary meter and demanding two acre-feet of water credits to make the city whole. My Take Two unrelated data center water incidents in two weeks across two different states is a pattern, not a coincidence. The Georgia facility was running off an unmetered industrial hookup nobody at the utility had on file, which means either a contractor installed it without authorization or the utility lost track of a connection serving a major customer, and neither of those explanations should make anyone comfortable. The construction phase alone consumed 30 million gallons before operations even began, which gives you a sense of the water demand profile these facilities have once they go live. The bigger issue is that hyperscale data centers are being permitted under regulatory frameworks built for industrial users a fraction of their size, and the utilities responsible for tracking water use are not staffed for facilities this scale. A 30 million gallon discrepancy slipping through billing is not a clerical error, it is a sign that the infrastructure for monitoring these projects is being outpaced by the speed at which they are being built. Tucson caught their problem because a citizen made a phone call to a council staffer, and Fayetteville caught theirs because neighbors noticed their taps had lost pressure. Neither of those is a functioning compliance system, and the next community in this situation will probably not catch it at all. Hedgie🤗

@SneakyVertical @cremieuxrecueil You sound fun at parties

Any country relying heavily upon Chinese made batteries, solar panels, solar inverters, or transformers will come to regret the decision in a devastating manner. These components contain kill switches, back door connections to the internet which can be exploited by the CCP at a moments notice, not to mention the incredibly poor quality and lifespan of the shoddily made components. One of the lynchpins of the unrestricted warfare being waged on western countries by the CCP is the goal of obtaining turnkey control of the power grids in other countries.

The battery revolution is amazing. Batteries have almost completely displaced gas in Queensland and all it took was two short years!

@kyle_e_walker What is a work tree

I was skeptical of Claude Code’s auto mode before, but… If you use it in a worktree within a well-structured codebase, you can do amazing things

Amazing! New addition to the pureplay GEO500, called the GEO100

A gas reservation policy is a distraction that won't raise a cent in revenue. Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports could raise $17 billion a year. ✍ Sign the petition to support a 25% tax on all Australian gas exports: nb.australiainstitute.org.au/gas_export_tax…
