@itsjacksworld 288k is insane. Worth 200k at most

You don't need a beachfront condo in Miami at $1,500/sq ft. You don't need to keep watching Lisbon and Barcelona prices run away. There's a beach neighborhood that's safer, cleaner, more walkable, with brand new construction apartments 100 yards from the sand for under $300K. Appreciation has been running 12 to 15% a year. One of the fastest paces anywhere in the region. I spent 10 days touring it this year. Walked neighborhoods, beaches, toured buildings, talked with developers. One building stood out. Brand new construction 2 blocks from the best beach in town. $288K for 60m² apartment. 14 of 20 units already sold before completion. Pool, coworking space, international airport 9 km away. Neighborhood is Novo Campeche, on the island of Florianópolis in southern Brazil. This area is still off the map for 99% of people. The wider market in this area grew roughly 9% in 2025, more than double Brazil's inflation rate. Q1 2025 sales were up 97% year-over-year. The market is almost entirely cash because Brazilian mortgages run well above 12% interest, which gives foreign USD buyers an advantage. Full breakdown in the Florianópolis deep dive newsletter going out Thursday morning: Building & neighborhood details, more numbers on the market, & my personal take on what living 6 months per year here is like.

@slimjimmy Getting a math degree in 2026 is the ultimate trap. Imagine spending 4 years learning how to manually solve differential equations on a whiteboard. Just to watch a 14-year-old with wolfram alpha get the same answer in 3 seconds"

where are these 19 year olds with zero experience shipping marketing dominating products in a weekend? are they in the room with us now?

@ALTIEREalt Vc acha que a indústria atual já nao é cartel financiado por isenção de imposto? Kkkkkkkkkkk Quero mais é que se fodam

Pra vocês terem noção do quao piramide é a BYD: -empresa é subsidiada pelo governo chines -empresa vende milhares de carros pra outras empresas que ela mesmo é dona, que então revendem como “zero emplacado”, ou seja, demanda artificial -no brasil ela tem subsidio do governo em forma de terras, isenção de imposto e energia Se voce compra byd voce ta financiando o fim da industria automobilistica no brasil pro inicio do monopolio chines/oligopolio india/russia/china aqui. E nao, nao vai ser barato. Vao cobrar 5x mais porque serão basicamente um cartel :) Voce vai dar a sua alma e a da sua familia pra ter um dolphin que vai durar 5 anos :) E vai amar :)

@VirtualElena Blablablablabla too many word too few sense

the amount of alpha lying latent in archival issues of soft talk, wired, spy, the new yorker, etc is unparalleled and largely un-mined and while this might be sacrilegious to say in the age of monitoring the situation, i truly believe that the best way to understand the present is just read a bunch of longform from the 80s/90s and understand the past in a way that most people who lived through it can’t even conceptualize

@JonathanRoss321 Said the token salesman.

For 50 years, software engineering ran on code rationing. Writing code was expensive, so we rationed it carefully through roadmaps, RFCs, prioritization meetings, and scope reviews. This created a role: the No Engineer. No, that won't scale. No, we don't have bandwidth. No, that's out of scope. No, we need a design doc first. The No Engineer was valuable for 50 years. Every "no" saved real money. Their judgment was the rationing system. LLMs will be the end of code rationing. Code is cheap now. And while the No Engineer is explaining why something can't be done, the Yes Engineer has already shipped three versions of it. If you're a Yes Engineer, the next decade is yours.

@devcelio Eu faço praticamente tudo em max/extra high e ainda nao consigo chegar em 20% do budget que a empresa disponibiliza

Só você usa tudo em extra high precisa rever seus conceitos

@MarceloCerize Vagabundo especulador que nunca produziu um prego dando pitaco no mercado de trabalho Vai lamber uma piroca

O debate não deveria ser escala 5x2 ou 6x1. Deveríamos discutir o fato de que a CLT ainda trata adultos como incapazes de combinar livremente como querem trabalhar.

@staysaasy @GergelyOrosz The summary of what is america: a machine that turns human lives into profit.

You’re just not thinking like a true gambler. Step one is to be a drunk or glutton. Now you’re getting free booze or milkshakes for $1 tips jut for sitting at a machine. Step two is to rationalize the loss by saying you would have spent more on going to the movies. Step three is you tell yourself comps will act like a credit card reward. Step four is that you lose enough to convince yourself that you’re due for a win statistically. Combine that with folk knowledge about what machines pay best and you basically can’t not gamble.

Spent a few hours in a casino with slot machines to see what it feels like. Knowing that the house takes 5-15% of cash (so "winnings" are 80-95% across a large number of spins) made the outcome almost too boring. The UX of slot machines reminded me of predatory mobile games tho

@the_tincht Dios mio que pelotudo. Google maps es proyecto de DoD. Para mapear sus inimigos. Porque pensas que hay muy poco en China o Russia?

Alguna vez se pusieron a pensar que Google Maps es gratis? Debe ser top 5 apps mas utiles del mundo. Con infinita información. Y no sale un mango. Masterclass del capitalismo realmente

@FariaLimaElevat E nao existe samsung open source.

@FariaLimaElevat Anthropic ainda tem muito o que penetrar no mercado, e depois subir preço. MAS, nao sei se vale tudo isso, considerando que tem modelo open source a rodo por aí.

Faz sentido?

@EmbaixadaEUA Vai se fuder filho da puta. Voces sao a causa de 90% dos problemas do mundo.

Nenhum estrangeiro pode manipular nosso sistema de imigração para contornar pedidos formais de extradição e estender perseguições políticas ao território dos Estados Unidos. Hoje, pedimos que o funcionário brasileiro envolvido deixe o nosso país por tentar fazer isso.

@PedroChermont Cuidado com o marketing... vc é o varejo desse tipo de ferramenta. IA/ML já é amplamente difundida há pelo menos 1 década.

Há 2 meses na Leblon usávamos só o chat do Claude. Hoje são 12 pessoas abusando do Claude Code. Agora chegou o Opus 4.7 — +10 pts no SWE-bench em 3 meses. Em 30 anos de mercado, nunca vi ferramenta evoluir nessa cadência.

@PalantirTech How about everyone inside palantir commit themselves to a suicide pact?

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

@jakeshieldsajj Come on dude. Having proper dosage of psychedelics will help a ton of people get off the hands of Big Pharma having to buy expensive pills every month.

I'm sure making psychedelics legal will be great for america 😂 I've seen people safely use then and I've seen people end up in the mental hospital I don't know the details of this new law but psychedelics aren't something to play with

@anniealtman108 You're cute

Monthly retweet

@garmdotcom @GergelyOrosz Man, what are you guys doing to burn 3k on tokens? I have to try reaaally hard to burn 300

@GergelyOrosz Surely $300 / month is far too little? If AI unlocks at worst 2x productivity then surely I’d want the engineer to have a budget of at least 100% of their monthly pay to lock that extra productivity in? So more like $3000 / month on avg

There is massive irony in how AI coding tools are starting to become TOO expensive for many enterprises - after eg Anthropic removed subsidizing AI subscriptions. We might go from "everyone use AI for everything!" to "you have $300/month AI budget; use your brain for the rest."

@emollick CS always was and always will be a great career IFF you like it and know what you're doing.

As someone who teaches at a business school, I can tell you that the pre-professional student population (as opposed to liberal arts or those pursuing academia or a topic of personal excitement) is extremely sensitive to signs of expected market demand in their fields of interest

@endrickista Quem foi preso????

O que tá acontecendo em Santa Catarina deveria causar comoção nacional. Estão perseguindo e censurando pessoas que lutavam por justiça ao Cão Orelha. Tem gente sendo presa. É uma das coisas mais bizarras que já vi.

@npew @KatieMiller Non profit? Is this a joke?

It’s quite tiring to hear all disparagement of Sam. Every interaction I’ve had directly or seen others have for almost a decade, he’s been thoughtful and kind, and always trying to find solutions that work for everyone. If Farrow’s approach was applied to anyone else, they’d come off as the devil too. Ironically, Farrow himself is clearly not a person that’s out for the truth. Sam built the largest nonprofit in history, millions of people are being empowered every day by products he helped create, and 97% (not just a “majority” as Farrow said) of the company signed a letter to bring him back after he was fired by an inexperienced and uninvolved board. I look forward to when a proper journalist actually writes the true story in the future.

Some things that people are saying about Sam Altman: Current OAI board member: "He's a sociopath. He's unconstrained by truth." Dario Amodei's internal memo: "The problem with OpenAI is Sam himself." Paul Graham Y Combinator co-founder: “Sam had been lying to us all the time.” Microsoft exec: "Small but real chance he's remembered as a Bernie Madoff-level scammer." Ilya Sutskever: “I don’t think Sam is the guy who should have his finger on the button.” Former researcher: "He sets up structures that constrain him on paper. Then when it comes time to be constrained, he does away with them."
