Open Letter on Housing, Fannie & Freddie @realDonaldTrump @pulte @SecScottBessent @FHFA @USTreasury $fnma $FMCC We studied housing square footage per capita adequacy, and found that there is no problem there. The US in fact has more residential square footage per capita than any other country in the world. This is not a housing shortage, despite what so many say. The problem is that bigger houses are inefficiently housing fewer people. The post-COVID low rate environment locked people into a lifecycle real estate position. Empty nesters can't sell, first time home buyers cannot buy. Second-hand home inventory is near all-time lows due to record low supply, not record demand. Prices are high due to the same reason. Home equity is now a record $35 trillion, nearly doubling pre-COVID levels. 40% of homeowners own their homes free and clear - a record. And about 30% of all home buyers pay for homes without borrowing. Older homes were upgraded at a record pace during COVID, extending and refreshing the usefulness of residential real estate. Artificially low interest rates, ~$6-7 trillion in helicopter cash and forgivable loans helped drive both the home updates and high housing prices. Work from home moved the office into the home, often expensed or deductible. People with white collar jobs and means chose to live/work in exotic or remote locations. All of this together does not speak of a housing shortage, or a housing problem. Instead it is a problem of current residential space allocation and mobility, and this problem was created by government manipulation of interest rates, cash money supply, and COVID lockups that went on too long and changed work/home behavior. Government created the problem and now maintains policies that prevent free markets from reaching a solution, not the least of which is keeping the GSEs inefficiently run while in conservatorship. Recall Pulte's video upon arriving at Fannie Mae - no one was in the office buildings. The companies have become atherosclerotic, inefficient government programs, while a decade of financial engineering optimized for homeowner wealth accumulation rather than housing market velocity/mobility/fluidity. Government must fix this problem by facilitating efficient re-allocation of housing stock with higher housing velocity/mobility through the release of the GSEs into free markets. This is a problem made for the GSEs. Through well-targeted programs, the GSE can help the free market find spaces to intelligently reallocate , and help US citizens with housing mobility. Building more new overpriced, poorly built homes in increasingly dangerous flood zones and other hazardous fringe areas is not the solution. It adds to the problem through high maintenance burdens on new homeowners with little equity in their homes. Rather, to build mobility/velocity of homeowners and housing space, the GSEs need to be recapitalized and retain easy access to capital markets. They also need to be run by real mortgage executives, not government functionaries. To achieve this they need to exit conservatorship in a manner that excites markets to fund these companies, now with guidelines to prevent risk-taking outside of their purpose, and grow their purchases of mortgages of well-targeted specification. I should have written this into the Recurrence piece itself.

@wesleytypes @RE_Games @CapcomUSA_ It'll be another "wait who tf is this guy??" As is tradition

The Code Veronica remake will be a major step in unifying Chris Redfield's oddly inconsistent appearance.

Sam Altman just pulled the plug on his own TikTok. OpenAI killed Sora yesterday. Not just the app. The developer tools. Video generation inside ChatGPT. All of it, gone. Six months ago, Sora 2 was the world's hottest app. Hit #1 on the App Store in two days. 164,000 people downloaded it before most knew it existed. You could type a sentence and get a realistic video back in minutes, then share it on a feed that worked like a TikTok made entirely by AI. By January, downloads had dropped 45% in a single month. Total money spent by users across the app's entire life: $1.4 million. OpenAI is on track to lose $14 billion this year. Sora's lifetime revenue wouldn't cover the company's losses for a single hour. The Disney deal is gone, too. In December, Disney agreed to invest $1 billion in OpenAI and license over 200 characters from Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars for Sora. Disney was planning to stream curated AI-generated videos on Disney+ and to use OpenAI's technology to build new experiences for subscribers. None of that is happening now. A Disney spokesperson said the company "respects OpenAI's decision to exit the video generation business." So why kill a product Disney just bet a billion dollars on? OpenAI is trying to go public (sell shares on the stock market for the first time) by the end of this year. In February, the company raised $110 billion at a valuation of $840 billion, but it won't turn a profit until 2029 or 2030. The head of OpenAI's apps told employees they "cannot miss this moment because we are distracted by side quests." Generating video eats enormous amounts of computing power. When you're burning billions a month, and investors are about to look at your finances for the first time, you point every server you have at the product that actually makes money: ChatGPT. OpenAI says the Sora research team will shift to developing robot technology instead. The consumer app lasted six months.

@alaskorly You don't know what you're talking about. Booting up RE1/2 in the late 90's, no infinite metagaming and historical gaming context and knowledge, just ahh scary monsters, shoot run ohfuck. Gamers made x1000 more mistakes and inefficient decisions back then. It was really fun.

I've played RE games *a lot* throughout my life and one of the strangest misconceptions about 'survival horror' is that "ammo should be scarce" what part of old survival horror games ever signaled that? it wasn't silent hill it wasn't resident evil where did it come from?

@RelusionH No answer would satisfy whiners either way

At this point can someone just straight up ask the developers in an official interview why they keep throw loops in this game 3 years in I know there is speculations as to why they don't do anything about ig, but someone should force an official answer out of them man 🫠

@Dusterz gives you the shits, lots of them, all of them

pours so much energy into looking the part and then goes on to give nothing

@CarcinogenSDA @KenjikoKun @wesleytypes @RE_Games @CapcomUSA_ The lack of ambiguity in your words is the problem big dawg. Jumping to "have you even played this insanely popular game???" instead of understanding this, lmao

there is no ambiguity if you've played the game and know how the fight goes. because you need to reload your grenade launcher every shot and he will punch you in between shots at point blank. i didn't say he dodges every shot. what he does is he dodges, punches you while you're reloading, and that's how he sets up for the situation to become a damage exchange. freeze rounds have more hit stun against him than the average grenade, and DPS-wise they are the fastest, but they are not the OP superweapon against Nemesis First Form that everyone keeps talking about.

How to beat Resident Evil 3: 1. Craft Freeze Rounds 2. Don't miss 3. Walk to the end of the game

@Speedkicks Exhibit #452277542 on why FG social media sucks

Guilty Gear Strive removed a slop system mechanic and every single fighting game community has a tweet aimed at their own game's devs about it.

@LavenderGhast shoulda got some mitochondria

What Twitch audiences see when they find out their favourite female streamer turned 30.

@CarcinogenSDA @KenjikoKun @wesleytypes @RE_Games @CapcomUSA_ "he will sidestep and you will miss" "he will get in your face and hit you between every shot" Words have meaning, not much ambiguity there big dawg

i didn't say freeze rounds can't defeat him or that they have low DPS. the TTK is fine. that is why they are used in speedruns. i said they're not that good because he has a random chance to *sidestep them*, resulting in him closing in and hitting you. you're not stun looping him with those consistently because it is not possible by design.

@GroovyBruce Hell yeah

I found great satisfaction in playing Ash because he was so amazingly flawed - so mortal. dreadcentral.com/editorials/561…

@PressSec No one believes your lies

There are many false claims in this letter but let me address one specifically: that "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."   This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over.   As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first.   This evidence was compiled from many sources and factors. President Trump would never make the decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in a vacuum.   Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. The Iranian regime is evil. It proudly killed Americans, waged war against our country, and openly threatened us all the way up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury.   Iran was aggressively expanding their short-range ballistic missiles to combine with their naval assets to give themselves immunity – meaning they would have a degree of a capabilities that would give them immunity to hold us and the rest of the world hostage.   The regime aimed to use those ballistic missiles as a shield to continue achieving their ultimate goal – nuclear weapons.   The President, through his top negotiators, gave the regime every single possible opportunity to abandon this unacceptable course by permanently giving up their nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief, free nuclear fuel, and potential economic partnerships with our country.   But they would not say yes to peace because obtaining nuclear weapons was their fundamental goal.   President Trump ultimately made the determination that a joint attack with Israel would greatly reduce the risk to American lives that would come from a first strike by the terrorist Iranian regime and address this imminent threat to America’s national security interests.   All of this led to President Trump arriving at the determination that this military operation was necessary for U.S. national security, which is why he launched the massively successful Operation Epic Fury. The Commander-in-Chief determines what does and does not constitute a threat, because he is the one constitutionally empowered to do so - and because the American people went to the ballot box and entrusted him and him alone to make such final judgments. And finally, the absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries, is both insulting and laughable. President Trump has been remarkably consistent and has said for DECADES that Iran can NEVER possess a nuclear weapon. As someone who actually witnesses President Trump’s decision-making process on a daily basis, I can attest to the fact that he is always looking to do what’s in the best interest of the United States of America — period. America First.

@Fubgun Always has been, it's just bad players with bad takes and conplaints

@karbonbased Very cool hipster vague posting my dude

The 2 happiest days in a Aeron chair owners life are the day he buys it and the day he sells it

@Hideki_Naganuma Same, same

I love Americans, but I don't love the current American president.

@pierbiwierbi nah lmao

this deadlock patch rly sucks.. one of the worst metas i think tbh. i would honestly just reverse the changes n just keep nerfs on the problematic chars

@vxunderground Hmm, impressive

In other news, someone published a paper today about how they were able to abuse Perplexity AI to get unlimited Claude tokens. It turns out the researcher misunderstood Perplexity billing methods and he will be billed accordingly.
