I only vent here now. Probably not a good follow. Send cat and dog pictures, please. Liked the tan suit. In this very trying time, many many extra typos.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

again a reminder that the NYT leadership supports Cuomo *because* of his record of sexual harassment, not *despite* it. they have a strong interest in making sure that they and their friends can never again suffer the indignity of being held accountable by their inferiors.

The problem with this is that Trump's message is going to spread far and wide, whether it is accompanied by an informed explanation or not. A significant number of anxious parents worldwide are not going to think rationally about this, and innocent people will be hurt. Again.
American parents, please ignore Trump’s recent reiteration of nonsense about Tylenol and vaccines, as well as anything the man ever says about the health of your children. Please talk with your medical professionals.

It’s really sick how this piece of garbage gets away with calling every black person he doesn’t like “low IQ” with just no scrutiny.

Yes, we get it: the mayor of Chicago is negroid. Melanated. Dark skinned-ed. Black. Next insult please.
Trump on Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Low IQ. Very low IQ. And we don't need low IQ people."

I get that there are times when disputes over news coverage are a matter of emphasis or perspective on big, sprawling events, but it feels bad for public trust in a publication when it fails to accurately describe a video that’s 20 seconds long, and that everyone can see.

Notice how the adultification of Black children (especially young Black men) is the inverse of the infantilization of White adults (especially fully grown White men). It holds Black children as always blameworthy and White adults as blameless.

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win
everything is on fire these days, sure, but how is it that 50% of all news stories are not about how I just spent $20 on a bag of store brand coffee at fucking costco

The comments on this post are … something. The lack of empathy, political imagination, and strategic thinking is troubling. C’mon folks. Ben points out a vulnerability and lever (the NG troops who could become allies against these deployments) and the replies are like, “Nope. Eff that. Eff them.”

Remember: These are not MAGA stormtroopers. These are everyday teachers and accountants who signed up to serve their country with their spare time. They're being used as political pawns by venal, un-American, draft-dodging president

Hep B was endemic in parts of Asia until vaccination campaigns. It impacts everyone. These idiots are crazy. If they succeed, they are going to condemn hundreds of thousands to misery. Cirrhosis of the liver is a terrible way to die.
“The notion that hepatitis B is only confined to transmission for prostitutes, drug users, etc., is such an ignorant and uninformed way of approaching infectious disease” - Dr. Jason Goldman of @acpimphysicians.bsky.social.

This whole thread but this part is soooo true. Innovation often happens by "accident". To borrow a ST Voyager reference, "fun will commence" isn't how it works.
The economic argument for doing fundamental (non-applied) scientific research is that it has a FANTASTIC return on investment. That return may take decades, and you can't predict it, but it has worked out like this since science began. Basic discoveries lead to tech advances, eventually.

Public data and data collection powers business and decision making. It's just one of a number of public services that just works behind the scenes that only a small subset of people pay attention to / understand the importance of.
Before I led BLS I was not as acutely aware of how many businesses, firms, and individual jobs depend on a stream of public use data. One estimate is that the $2 billion the US spends on economic data creates a $200+ billion industry of 'data-intensive' businesses. pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/...

i think the most logical solution is that training is infringement, therefore models and outputs cannot be copyrighted
that way, we all benefit from the extant models AND we destroy the companies that creating them AND we redistribute VC wealth to copyright holders. win-win-win (except for artists)

I have basically come around to the idea that "training is fair use, models and their outputs cannot be copyrighted" is the most reasonable solution overall

Pure cultural play. Games are where kids can do a lot of learning these days. It'll take a while but they are buying influence with future generations.
The only context in which it makes sense is if you assume it's a deliberate marketing/cultural influence play from the Saudis and they don't care about setting $35 billion on fire because they're trillionaires. There's no way it pencils financially which is why the stock was 20% lower on Friday AM.
