When life feels unbearable, I remind myself that I'm not a person; I'm software running on an ape's brain, once designed to eat berries in a cave, now processing 24/7 streams of information. It’s not the worst brain to run on. Adapted from @joscha.bsky.social, I will mainly post #valueinvesting.
🧵 Immanuel Kant developed one of the most powerful ethical frameworks in history: the categorical imperative. It's a universal moral law that applies to all rational beings, regardless of personal desires or outcomes.

You used to ask "when will we use linear algebra in real life?"

Now linear algebra asks "when will we need you in real life?"

The "lethal trifecta" problem is as relevant with the new #openai #atlas agentic browser as it is with #perplexity #comet. If you plan to use these new LLM browser products, be aware of the dangers inherent to their design.

🧵 The "lethal trifecta" in AI browsers like #perplexity #comet: the agents read your private data, process untrusted web pages, and have tools to act and interact. When all three happen at once, attacks work reliably. Here's why you can't fully fix it.

Money supply increasing, dollar index continues to fall, uneasy job market, middle to lower class consumers are broke, the Fed and treasury working together to push the 10Y rate and real rates down, and outflows from US bonds continues. Get ready for an asset bubble, we haven’t even begun to peak!

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

BREAKING: The Bureau of Labor Statistics has postponed the release of a key annual report central to future inflation data.

The BLS did not explain the reasoning for the delay or when it might ultimately be released.

Chris Wright is a previous board member from #OKLO and has a vested interest in seeing demand shift from #oil to #nuclear #SMR technology. Recent executive orders capping the approval timeline for new nuclear reactor designs is one of many signs of corruption in the US Department of Energy.
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright:

There's still a lot of gas from Russia going into Europe. 15% of Europe's gas supply still comes from Russia. They've set a date to end that in the next 18 months.So there's a big increased demand right there, just for the USA, to finish displacing the Russian gas.

The American Dream (broad middle-class prosperity) was a product of intentional policy: high postwar taxes on the wealthy, social safety nets, and innovation. Today, rising inequality, low effective tax rates on owners, and barriers to mobility are not natural but deliberate fiscal policy choices.
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

It’s much harder to fool the bond market than than equity market. Rational fiscal concerns about the US are hard to escape for this administration.
Long-dated bond yields across developed markets are reaching multiyear highs. Deficits are large and supply is heavy. Are we in the start of a doom loop between long-dated yields and sovereign borrowing costs?

The CEO of McDonald's says that we're now living in "a two-tier economy."

" If you're upper income earning over $100,000 things are good, stock markets are near all time highs... What we see with middle and lower income consumers is actually a different story."
