$100K/year H-1B visa fee + return to office means hours of commuting to work per week to do Zoom calls with international coworkers as outsourcing becomes the new norm.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Feel free to continue arguing over the shooter's motives, but please understand that *it doesn't matter*. There's a organized political movement that plans to suppress, arrest, or kill its political opposition. It it seeking pretexts. Anything will do. If it's not this, it'll be something else.

In less than a year LLMs have climbed most of the high school math contest ladder. Every tier of problem difficulty has either been saturated or is well on its way—except for the very highest tier.

ya i mean the harris coalition is the one that includes the demographics for which the "opposing political view" is "people like you should be killed" so

Statement from Fed Gov Lisa Cook: “President Trump purported to fire me “for cause” when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

Perception affects reality.

Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference. This is what rising fascism looks like.

Uh whoa PPI. On a daycare run but will dive into details later.

Releasing version 0.5.0 of ShadowSky today. We now have DMs, Profiles, Bookmarks, and Settings, so it is more of a complete app replacement. I've also invested some in more mobile-native UI affordances. Still missing: a database! Everything is either stored with your PDS or on your client.

Just saw someone call the military occupation of DC a distraction, and that’s it, the it’s a distraction people have lost it. We should wait until the bulldozer is running over your house and all chime in with “isn’t there something else we should be talking about”

so ford is operated at a loss last quarter despite record revenues because they took $800m in tariff charges in q2 (when tariffs were lower than now) - and ford is just one company. this is getting quite bad now. s205.q4cdn.com/882619693/fi...

When I first launched feeds on ShadowSky.io all those days ago, haters said "holy cow these feeds are buggy as hell." And you know what, the haters were right, it was really buggy. It is now like 90% less buggy (the triple dot menu does nothing, sorry) and also has bookmarks.

It is now. github.com/dmoskov/shad...

When I first launched ShadowSky.io all those days ago, haters said no one would use a bsky client that didn't even have feeds. And you know what, the haters were right, nobody uses it. So I made feeds. Also if you make the browser wide, you get a SkyDeck.

After launching ShadowSky on Monday, I got some complaints. Not everyone is a power user with tons of notifications to process. So I have added some features that can be valued as long as you post at all, starting with the one that inspired me in the first place: auto-alt images.

I had a great first 1:1 with the new Asana CEO today, Dan Rogers - he’s already running at full speed and I’m excited to see what’s going to happen with a truly phase appropriate leader!

ShadowSky.io update: 1/ New feature: a thread composer * Supports drafts and automatically splits/numbers threads * "Undo" via delayed send * Doesn't support GIFs * Coming soon: spell check, auto-alt 2/ Supports any PDS for login + 2fa 3/ Some bugs have been fixed + new bugs have been added

I seriously thought this was a death threat via sms. Actually, it's a Dem house candidate who put two new lines after the period.

Many people* are asking: what is ShadowSky? Why would I go there? ShadowSky helps you make sense of a lot of notifications, which the main bsky app is not great at. For example, if you launch a new product, you might get a flurry of inbound feature requests and likes, but struggle to keep up. * 2

Introducing ShadowSky - a BlueSky companion web app. ShadowSky.io This is meant for people who participate in a lot of threads or otherwise receive a lot of notifications - it is *not* a replacement and notably won't show you feeds. It is also just a *client* - data goes directly to Bluesky.

The chat interface is great for quick questions, but for real work with language models we need something more. "Scaffolds" - software layers that help organize our interactions - are becoming essential. Claude.ai and ChatGPT have evolved beyond chat with artifacts, knowledge bases, and memory. 1/

claude code gives you wings

I'm planning to publish a standalone client soon. Who wants to beta test?

They made him billions of dollars, but they stopped lauding him for being a billionaire a couple of years ago, and that's what he's truly after

I just can't get over all the companies paying bribes to the president while I have to take annual anti-bribery and corruption trainings that literally say if your friend works for a government agency making a decision about our company, you can't take him to lunch for his birthday

I always find survey results like this staggering (almost to the point of unbelievability). The US was spending around 1% of its federal budget on foreign aid. The average guess among 1,000+ surveyed Americans was 26%. 15% thought it was over half of the budget (?!) www.kff.org/global-healt...

I love Colbert, but if people want a good substitute in the short run, don't sleep on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Well, the WSJ editorial board can't be any more direct than this: "Don't Fire Jerome Powell, Mr. President" www.wsj.com/opinion/jero...

the scream i scrumpt

Similarly, I really didn't believe Epstein was murdered until pretty recently.

Trump is going to rack up a lot of Nobel Peace Prizes with all these wars in the middle east. It's going to be unbelievable how many wars he stops.

Honestly I’m cynical enough to believe the media cycle does just move on. Remember signalgate? Remember when we claimed to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities even though no one else agreed? Remember the foreign gulag?

Tariffs are lifting US goods inflation materially. The chart shows core goods inflation, which in June 2025 (purple) was 80 bps above where it'd normally be at this point in the calendar year (black). This inflation impulse will keep building as inventories from tariff front-running get run down...

we are so cooked

Excited for infrastrepstein week.

Virtue is good.

my modest disagreement is that i think it is important to signal virtue even if, privately, you are a piece of shit. performing decency is an important part of maintaining the norm that decency is part of a well ordered society.

Florida is committing "enforced disappearance," a very serious violation of international human rights law. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i... www.ohchr.org/en/special-p...

This obviously false allegation demonstrates exactly why the Epstein files must be released. For the sake of the county, we need to show that our president is a good man.

In a post pushing back against AI 2027, Vitalik falls into a common trap in these debates: asserting that bc we *can* defend against the problems, there's no need to be concerned. The problem is we're not investing in these defenses bc we don't believe we need to. vitalik.eth.limo/general/2025...

The important thing to understand about the current state of affairs is that Andreessen hired a partner at the most influential VC firm in the tech industry solely on the basis that the man strangled a Black man to death in my neighborhood.

oh, we have some straightforward gutter racism. “the blacks and the browns are the reason white people can’t get ahead” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Feeling just peachy after discovering these in the fruit bowl tonight.

Mark Carney agreed to cancel the Digital Services Tax as a show of good faith to keep trade negotiations going and Trump is still threatening Canada with 35% tariffs. Why would anyone even try negotiating with the US when we’re this vindictive and untrustworthy?

xAI has disabled Grok, deleted a slew of its antisemitic and neo-Nazi posts, posted a statement, and are evidently rolling back the prompt that made it identify as "MechaHitler," but this new low for Elon Musk's chatbot will live in internet infamy:

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

It's fucked up, but when I'm in an anxiety spiral I do the Bob Newhart "Stop it!" in my head and it has been the most consistently effective mental health tool.

Apologies folks, we're actually delaying the 90 day pause by 2 weeks. bsky.app/profile/jose...
