if your position is that the tech is worthless, will go away on its own, is inherently bad, etc etc, you are going to die on that hill. there are absolutely bad actors in the space and you are passing over the bad actors to stake a losing position about the code

trump getting his feelings hurt by european leaders is the culmination of this new type of guy that emerged in the last decade or so: guy who goes out of his way to be a huge asshole who then gets really offended when the people he's being an asshole to don't like him

There was nowhere better on the internet to follow the housing boom and bust of the mid-2000s than Calculated Risk.

After 21 years, I'm going to stop the daily posting to my blog Calculated Risk. Thanks to everyone!
I'm still going to write the real estate newsletter and I've started a weekly economic newsletter to replace the blog (but just once a week).

this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

I've been saying this for years, but if this admin agrees maybe I should reconsider...
BESSENT: SUGGESTS THE FED REVISE ITS 2% INFLATION TARGET TO 1.5%–2.5% OR 1%–3% U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent said the Federal Reserve should re-examine its inflation target as inflation declines toward 2%. He proposed shifting from a fixed target to a range, such as 1.5%–2.5%

Consumer confidence data is basically useless for markets/econ forecasting at this point. There is just no universe where periods when inflation was 5x as high, real income growth was deeply negative, or unemployment was more than 2x current were better than the current backdrop.

How much does it cost NVIDIA to make a B200 GPU?
By our estimate, around $6,400, implying chip-level gross margins of ~80%.
The counterintuitive part: the logic die, the core component of the GPU, is one of the cheaper parts, accounting for less than 15% of the total cost. 🧵

It is honestly shattering to my politics that people said stuff like "give people help with health care cost and lots of money to build green infrastructure and you will win over the working class"
Biden did that; He got very unpopular and people keep saying this is the same secret to winning.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

You've got your flagrant cowardice, your too-clever-by-half DC-brained tactical maneuvering that fools no one but impresses reporters, your fealty to bipartisanship in an era when your opponents are dumping diarrhea on your head, your insane belief in the power of symbolic votes ... everything.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
