So... NVIDIA Wednesday. I'm by no means a market watcher, but an awful lot looks pinned on results for stock Burry shorted, SoftBank sold, and Thiel exited
Fun digging into capital spend and revenue predictions, with a dander round credit default swaps (I thought we weren't allowed those)

I've never met a surface headline with dire hidden context I wasn't driven to untangle. It's why I ration social media.
When you see headlines saying Supreme Court Justice Katanji Brown Jackson blocked SNAP payments, this is the context - incredible explainer www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

190. SNAP WTF?
A very quick explainer on why Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

The Gatsby vibes are vivid in the White House 'creative destruction'. Doing so for a ballroom while folk are crushed by costs of living
Can't help thinking this will be a defining image. Adjacent to arresting people for being brown in the wrong location or inconveniently principled

Anyone near tech change has healthy skepticism about much of the last 2 years of GenAI positioning
Poised to 10x every staff member, sentience around the corner, will cure all global ills, barely a nod to gnarly integration challenges

One of the most important debates in tech right now is the group of folks who think AI is fake and sucks vs. the people who think AI is real and dangerous. I wrote about why I'm in the latter camp, and talked about my differences with Gary Marcus www.platformer.news/ai-skeptics-...

For those interested in the tectonics: this earthquake occurred near the Mendocino triple junction where 2 strike slip transform faults and a subduction zone meet: the Cascadia subduction zone to the north, the San Andreas fault to the south and the Mendocino transform fault to the west 🧪⚒️

This is so timely. Something else to absorb in advance of a conference session on AI and trust next week
The first mental bollards were 'What do we actually mean by trust?' - too often 'How can we get folk past doubt to use AI' vs 'What erodes or builds trust for whom, and why?'

Well worth anyone's time! (and one of my all time favorites) Trust (and or the lack of) is indeed at the center of many things the modern world we live in.

This was the moment I was lucky to catch: adult zebra swallowtail eclosing! Raised from the eggs of the female that visited our yard. At the time, the 1st known sighting in Pittsburgh in almost a century! #naturalist #butterflywatch #buglovers #butterflygarden #insectlovers #wildlife #conservation

Compared to 30 years ago, low-to-middle income families work more, especially women, but are more likely to rent in the private sector.

Not quite sure why I accumulated a lot more followers today. Possibly in a starter pack, possibly our rather chonky and lovely black cat, maybe just right place right time, but you are all very welcome for as long as I don't disappoint :)

That’s me in the hard hat, in front of the bucket of a terrifyingly enormous digger.
What you can’t really tell from the picture is that my head was spinning.
I’d just had one of those moments that change your life forever.
It would set me off on a journey around the world…!🧵
