“The value of future rent inflation is capitalized in home prices and counted as an asset for homeowners. But the cost of future rents is undetermined for any family at any given time…so…not counted as a liability.” @kevinerdmann.bsky.social www.mercatus.org/research/res... ht @steveroth.bsky.social

Anthropic’s research on Claude really is like “look at how neat my little guy is!” followed by a hundred pictures of him being a neat little guy

2026 is about affordable homeownership. No more "policy" this year. Feed the local fauna, befriend them, and then use them to overpower homeowners so you can occupy their dwellings.

i’ve been as skeptical as anyone of the whole videogen personalized media thing but it did just occur to me that one way i could imagine it eventually adding value is if i could take all the movies about het couples that should obviously have been about lesbians and have it remake them the right way

sufficiently advanced math indistinguishable from ghosts

i don't think i'd complain about there being too many benoit blanc mysteries until we hit the 25 or 30 mark

"Homeownership is a fantastic investment for building generational wealth" You're talking about a landed gentry you unamerican fuck.

gf won me a frieren plushie at the arcade :3 (hat was not included)

kinda forgot this app existed, hi, go play silent hill f the f stands for feminism

I don't know why this lad is building a subterranean city for cats, but I'm all for it.

louder for the people in the back if you are in tech (especially AI) and you aren’t using a significant chunk of your income to help people less well off than you, your moral compass is broken and you need to take a long walk and think about how the fuck you got here

… i mean, i guess??

bola gun still so goated

a lot of ppl will take this as implying that chatbots aren’t people, but real ones know it’s the other way around and the animists were right all along

holy shit mayor pete feels the agi petebuttigieg.substack.com/p/we-are-sti...

my first visit to japan. i’ve been here for not quite 24 hours. just now, i got my first 日本語上手. what i had said to earn this? 「スイートポテトひとつください。ありがとうございます」 the 上手 inflation is real

if you fundamentally do not believe in the concept of technological progress it will be very difficult for you to recognize it when it happens

I regret nothing yet! fly.io/blog/youre-a...

do i have any fgo friends on this site or did i leave them all behind on twitter? i need someone to appreciate how awesome mash’s new kit is with me

finally watched cyberpunk edgerunners, aka gift of the magi 2077 it was good and sad and annoying. i wish people would sometimes tell stories of this shape where the characters actually do learn from the mistakes of others. the tropes are too inevitable

I spent 72 hours checking the posting times of every Gazan account I saw fundraising. More than 2/3 of them were inconsistent with Gaza but consistent with Myanmar or Cambodia, where hundreds of thousands of people are trafficked into doing scam work under threat of violence or death.

unfortunately “he is risen” is actually false advertising

i still haven’t gotten over them having actually named a show Gquuuuuux

"I'm going to govern in econometrics" is a winning campaign slogan for the ages.

a Heaven’s Vault- or Chants of Senaar-like where instead of a conlang you’re trying to comprehend and deconstruct a fictional society’s equivalent of dril memes

youtu.be/v0et8aR3KF8?... the vibes are fucking immaculate

wow employees are only selling, almost like they get compensated in shares of the stock or something fuck tesla but the lack of literacy here really pains me, why would an employee buy *more* shares of the thing they’re already massively overexposed to

discovered the hard way the other night that you can’t send a waymo to pick up a friend because the “unlock” button won’t show up unless your gps is next to the car and i’m once again asking software engineers to stop making so many goddamn assumptions

post a warning

just realized why i so consistently enjoy anime more than most television: most anime is adapted from light novels or manga, so the writing is actually good, whereas most television has great production values and acting and stuff but absolutely shit-tier writing and i can’t stand it

that ending sucked

oh… oh no this is even worse than 家内

one of the things that i think is lost on AI opponents is that you should try using them for the thing you think they cannot possibly facilitate before using it as an argument against them LLMs are more than happy to be your card catalog. they’re capable of providing most of the same benefits

Whenever a man shows you charts and graphs about how people with kids are happier than people without kids, ask him to show you the same data sliced by gender. Even if that man is me!🙂 Because considering men / women, and people with/without kids, the happiest demographics, is "women without kids"

god i love anime

he is a certified datacenter operations professional

I call it X now because i used to fuck with it and no longer do

> makes fun of defenseless LLM for “innumeracy” > illiterate

oh rip this actually looks really cool *and* can be used on top of regular git so i have no excuse not to try using it 😩

woah cool paper arxiv.org/abs/2502.00873

Just realised that "Gene Hackman" is the exact name that Hideo Kojima would give a biochemist

Meet one of my favorite Renaissance friends: Galeazzo Sanseverino, a mercenary whom contemporary sources describe as the sexiest thing in pants in Italy, part of the badass polycule threesome that ruled Milan in the early 1490s. Thread 1/? (#HistoryPix Countdown to "Inventing the Renaissance" day 3)
