Hypothetical question for my followers who invest/trade in crypto, equities, futures, FX, whatever Assume you have a $1 million speculative account -- actual money You see a trade you like How much of that $1M are you willing to lose on that trade? I am talking about the max loss, not the size of your investment in the trade.

@shawngorham Two bags of quikcrete or a canoe is about all you can haul

Talk me out of this... 1 owner, 120,000 miles, garage parked Only down side is its an automatic I am so in my 90's truck era

$INTC FROM TRADERS "DNT LISTS" TO PARABOLIA.

@MebFaber @Fidelity Ask them why they’re charging 42 basis points for a money market fund

AHAHAHA, they actually did it. The cretins at @Fidelity are charging retail $100 commissions to trade 1 share of some ETFs. Gross.

@jockowillink Good.

Happy government-sanctioned theft day!

@HayekAndKeynes Sammy Hagar said it best “I can’t drive 55”

While this is the most extreme fuel disruption the world has ever experienced, it’s interesting how even cutting fuel consumption by 20% is not a difficult thing to do. It doesn’t make any difference to my personal finances, but I’ve been curious whether I could actually reduce my consumption by 10% or 20% without a lot of sacrifice, so I monitored what I did this week and tried to be intentional. Switching from my diesel to my EV was the easiest change, and I honestly didn’t drive it at all this week and used the golf cart for small trips around town. However, we’re going on a road trip now, and I don’t want to deal with supercharger wait times and range anxiety, so we took the diesel. I was curious how much speed changes would impact fuel economy. At 80 mph we got 18 miles per gallon, and at 60 mph we got 28 mpg—pretty absurd. I’m sure that those who are more constrained financially will just skip trips or carpool and will definitely take a more fuel-efficient option. I feel very confident that the world can make similar changes if nudged a little. Something could even come from the top down, like going back to a hybrid schedule if needed. That’s one of the few things workers would actually cheer for. The other part is the actual magnitude of fuel expenses. Assume someone drives 10,000 miles a year and gets 25 miles per gallon. You’re only talking about 400 gallons a year. That means a $2–3 jump in gasoline prices is not even $75–100 a month. Less for cities, more for rural areas. Likely for 3-9 months in duration. I would expect tourism (esp road trips) to be the natural casualty as this just adds a modest expense to a discretionary purchase that’s on the bubble for most. My other observation is that this seems more likely to be a medium-term deflationary force, as we make modest behavioral shifts that favor fuel economy while rushing to bring new supply to market.

@Sportgear @mtgreenee VA-52 Knight Riders 1984-87. You’re spot on. Joined in October 1983 almost to the day the Marine barracks in Lebanon were bombed. Guess who was behind that.

(2) I went into the Navy at 19 years old in 1980. Iran was holding Americans hostage in Iran, this went on for months. President Reagan took office in 1981 and we ended up fighting Iran in conflict for the next 4 decades. I spent 8 deployments at sea because of Iranian agression.

I’d like to congratulate two time Congressional candidate loser Laura Loomer, MIGA foreign op Mark Levin, and Neocon murdering psycho Senator Lindsey Graham for leading Republicans into slaughter going into midterms. Your incessant lies to President Trump have destroyed all faith in the GOP. I’d also like to remind everyone that when I led the party on the campaign trail fighting for America First in ‘22 and ‘24, all the GOP did was win win win! But after Trump called me a traitor and said he would destroy me for releasing the Epstein files, I refuse to fight for Trump and the Republican Party that defends the Epstein class, wages pointless foreign wars, and pursues America LAST. I never changed, Trump and the GOP betrayed their voters and took in the trash we threw out of the party. Loomer, Levin, and Lady Lindsey are the BEST political consultants the Democrat Party could ever imagine!!!

@mckaywrigley I’m in. Thank you!

this got more run than i was expecting, so don't worry about the 4hr thing. i'll keep it open. again - it'll be a few days and it'll be a rolling list due to demand.

looking for a handful of people to test something new... i've been using it for a few months and am prepping to share. if you're a fan of claude cowork, openclaw, manus, perplexity computer, etc then you're a perfect fit. this will self destruct in 4hrs - please dm or reply.

@DoubleWideCap @RealStockCats I looked at it quickly and thought it said 5150🤣

@ClarkAcosta27 @ChefGruel And first thing in the morning just like I like my women!😂

@ChefGruel Coffee needs to be hot, black, and strong. Ok, add a little creamer.

Their coffee has to be the worst coffee I have ever tasted in my life, but I realized it's becuase 90% of customers just use the coffee as a base for 67 pumps of vanilla sugar.

@elliotandmay @ChefGruel The French roast is devine.

@ChefGruel I'm going to have to disagree. Hate the company, but nobody makes a bagged dark roast as thick and bitter as Starbucks. I live in Asia and have to get it shipped to me if i want a good cup of coffee. Everyone else's "dark roast" comes out as sour. Sad but consistency wins my day

@DeItaone That didn’t age well.

@HuXijin_GT How about you go over there and give us a live report.

@TripleDTrader Wow!

AI is coming for Hollywood.

@LongTplexTrader Excellent.

Yes

@vicenzopdemaar @AnnikaSays Wasted time.

@AnnikaSays Shippint what? What exactly are you selling and who is buying it? What is that you "ship", I'm genuinely puzzled.

A month ago, I started using Claude Code 👩‍💻 Ten days ago, I added OpenClaw 🦞 Since then, I've shipped vibecoded apps, built a research pipeline, run countless overnight tasks — and burned through an ungodly amount of API credits Zooming out, three big learnings:

@AndrewYNg @JustineBateman

I recently spoke at the Sundance Film Festival on a panel about AI. Sundance is an annual gathering of filmmakers and movie buffs that serves as the premier showcase for independent films in the United States. Knowing that many people in Hollywood are extremely uncomfortable about AI, I decided to immerse myself for a day in this community to learn about their anxieties and build bridges. I’m grateful to Daniel Dae Kim @danieldaekim, an actor/producer/director I’ve come to respect deeply for his artistic and social work, for organizing the panel, which also included Daniel, Dan Kwan, Jonathan Wang, and Janet Yang. I found myself surrounded by award-winning filmmakers and definitely felt like the odd person out! First, Hollywood has many reasons to be uncomfortable with AI. People from the entertainment industry come from a very different culture than many who work in tech, and this drives deep differences in what we focus on and what we value. A significant subset of Hollywood is concerned that: - AI companies are taking their work to learn from it without consent and compensation. Whereas the software industry is used to open source and the open internet, Hollywood focuses much more on intellectual property, which underlies the core economic engines of the entertainment industry. - Powerful unions like SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) are deeply concerned about protecting the jobs of their members. When AI technology (or any other force) threatens the livelihoods of their members — like voice actors — they will fight mightily against potential job losses. - This wave of technological change feels forced on them more than previous waves, where they felt more free to adopt or reject the technology. For example, celebrities felt like it was up to them whether to use social media. In contrast, negative messaging from some AI leaders who present the technology as unstoppable, perhaps even a dangerous force that will wipe out many jobs, has not encouraged enthusiastic adoption. Having said that, Hollywood is under no illusions that AI will change entertainment, and that if Hollywood does not adapt, perhaps some other place will become the new center for entertainment. The entertainment industry is no stranger to technology change. Radio, TV, computer graphics special effects, video streaming, and social media transformed the industry. But the path to navigating AI’s transformation is still unclear, and organizations like the new Creators Coalition on AI are trying to stake out positions. Unfortunately, Hollywood’s negative sentiment toward AI also means it will produce a lot more Terminator-like movies that portray AI as more dangerous than helpful, and this hurts beneficial AI adoption as well. The interests of AI and Hollywood are not always aligned. (Every time I speak in a group like this as the “AI representative,” I can count on being asked very hard questions.) Most of us in tech would prefer a more open internet and more permissive use of creative works. But there is also much common ground, for example in wanting guardrails against deepfakes and a smooth transition for those whose jobs are displaced, perhaps via upskilling. Storytelling is hard. I’m optimistic that AI tools like Veo, Sora, Runway, Kling, Ray, Hailuo, and many others can make video creation easier for millions of people. I hope Hollywood and AI developers will find more opportunities to collaborate, find more common ground, and also steer our projects toward outcomes that are win-win for as many parties as possible.
