He’s going to buy more Bitcoin
Graham Stephan@GrahamStephan

I’ve spent a decade telling people to do what I do: "Buy and Hold." Now I've decided to list my entire real estate portfolio for sale and walk away. It started slow. The bills, the maintenance, the tax increases... but the final straw was when I tried to develop an ADU to do exactly what the city of LA claims it wants investors like me to do: Create more housing. You'd think they'd make it easier, but after two delayed inspections, a sewer pipe replacement that needed 75 days advance notice, and a city-owned tree that became my responsibility, I'd had enough. The identity of being a real-estate guy is very hard to walk away from, trust me. For a long time, I stayed just because real estate was my "thing." It’s how I started. It’s what I’m known for. It led to every good thing in my life. But that blinded me to the fact that just because something served me in the past, it doesn't mean things haven't changed in the present. The reality of 2026 finally stripped the emotion away. My LA rentals are netting about 4-5% after the constant background noise of taxes, insurance spikes, and repairs. Meanwhile, a risk-free Treasury pays 5%. The trade-off just doesn't make sense any more. I’m reallocating to a liquid portfolio that actually lets me focus on the work I love. I published a deep dive on my Substack about the ADU nightmare that broke my patience, the exact numbers behind the exit, and where I’m moving the money next to buy back my sanity. I'll drop the link here in a bit.

@jerryjliu0 ran LlamaParse playground on a 1,000-page regulatory PDF. billing tables that matter came out 100% accurate row-for-row. ~90% on body text. form layouts broke but structured data held up. table fidelity mattered most for us. v impressive

This is why we released liteparse :) Free, open-source, designed for agents. Natively supports OCR / screenshotting for deeper visual understanding in a document when needed.
Andrej Karpathy@karpathy

@kepano I just tried it this morning on the 245-page Mythos pdf and it failed badly and the outputs were all mangled. Converting pdfs is really hard, I think it has to probably be a Skill not a program, for a SOTA LLM for it to work properly.

There are roughly 30 men in the entire US who are 6'5", blue eyes, trust fund, work in finance. One of the most common problems we see at Keeper: someone sets three or four non-negotiable filters that, combined, mathematically eliminate almost everyone in their city. No dating app has ever told them that. Keeper does. We show you exactly how many people are in your pool for any filter combination so you can see the real cost of each dealbreaker before you spend weeks waiting for matches that can't exist.

We’re open sourcing the first document OCR benchmark for the agentic era, ParseBench. Document parsing is the foundation of every AI agent that works with real-world files. ParseBench is a benchmark that measures parsing quality specifically for agent knowledge work: ✅ It optimizes for semantic correctness (instead of exact similarity) ✅ It has the most comprehensive distribution of real-world enterprise documents It contains ~2,000 human-verified enterprise document pages with 167,000+ test rules across five dimensions that matter most: tables, charts, content faithfulness, semantic formatting, and visual grounding. We benchmarked 14 known document parsers on ParseBench, from frontier/OSS VLMs to specialized parsers to LlamaParse. Here are some of our findings: 💡 Increasing compute budget yields diminishing returns - Gemini/gpt-5-mini/haiku gain 3-5 points from minimal to high thinking, at 4x the cost. 💡 Charts are the most polarizing dimension for evaluation. Most specialized parsers score below 6%, while some VLM-based parsers do a bit better. 💡 VLMs are great at visual understanding but terrible at layout extraction. GPT-5-mini/haiku score below 10% on our visual grounding task, all specialized parsers do much better. 💡 No method crushes all 5 dimensions at once, but LlamaParse achieves the highest overall score at 84.9%, and is the leader in 4 out of the 5 dimensions. This is by far the deepest technical work that we’ve published as a company. I would encourage you to start with our blog and explore our links to Hugging Face to GitHub. All the details are in our full 35-page (!!) ArXiv whitepaper. 🌐: Blog: llamaindex.ai/blog/parsebenc… 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2604.08538… 💻 Code: github.com/run-llama/Pars… 📊 Dataset: huggingface.co/datasets/llama… 🎥 YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=g5p7G-…

Once you understand the internal state of those who are consistently late to things you no longer feel anger towards them. The idea that it's because they're being 'selfish' is one of those boomer clock slave beliefs – Embarrassingly poor theory of mind.
Jason Pargin, author of John Dies at the End, etc@JasonKPargin

My most uncharitable belief is that if you're chronically late to things, you're just a bad person. And I mean I don't think it's possible to routinely be late to events/work/appointments *unless* you're just a selfish person with no concern for anyone else.

Boring_Business@BoringBiz_·
Recently grabbed coffee with a senior VP at a very well-known private equity firm Well above $2M in net worth. Not enough to fully retire but can walk away for a better work life balance if he wants to Just had a kid few months ago and now struggling to decide between continuing this career path or shifting to something that would let him spend more time with family I asked him what is keeping him at the current firm, beyond just money His answer was simple: "Insecurity. I might look back in 10 years and feel bad knowing that my friends are buying their second vacation homes while I walked away to chase an easier life. Whatever job or title I have next would not earn me the same respect" That is when it really hit me A lot of people stay in high-performing careers, not even because they need the money, but rather because they are used to a certain level of status and respect from people around them This only gets worse as you move higher up the ladder and start spending time around people at the same level in terms of career or wealth I asked him if he was okay if I posted this on my X and sought advice on what my followers would do. He agreed. So I am genuinely curious: what would you do if you were in his situation?

@minordissent What can you do to actively combat this? Any great parenting podcasts or books for male parenting that isn't bombarded by female-coded social brainwashing?

One of the most important things to be aware of as a parent are the Jungian archetypes of mother and father. Namely the big four of: devouring mother, permissive mother, Tyrannical father, and passive father. You will almost certainly fall into one of these dysfunctional roles if you do not actively combat doing so. x.com/i/grok/share/9…

the more fiber you eat, the more it reduces cardiovascular death. unless you have diabetes. then it does nothing that's because fiber doesn't protect you, it feeds the bacteria that protect you. short chain fatty acids, butyrate, the whole anti-inflammatory cascade, none of it comes from the fiber itself but from what a working microbiome does with the fiber diabetes is a marker that the microbiome producing those metabolites is already gone

Japanese gym equipment is extremely unconventional. Instead of training just hypertrophy, their machines often strengthen through mobility. They also have 5x the amount of centenarians than the US. I think they’re onto something.

Gemma4 is a national treasure you’re all still sleeping on. GoogleDeepMind threw OSS AI a lifeline with the Gemma 4 class models. A week in and I can confidently attest, truly the best open model for its size by a long landslide. Connect your agents, thank me later.
