He instead did an interview with Institutional Investor on how he achieved such an extraordinary Uncorrelated Return. He said that while he avoided Home Bias, he was not immune to charms of an occasional Homer.

Look at how cute he is 🥹🥹

Mayor Mamdani holds a box of donuts open for five DSNY employees.

DSNY has been pulling 12-hour shifts since winter storm Fern. I stopped by during shift change today to say thank you.

They deserve more than just donuts, so please: Next time you see a DSNY worker, say thank you. They’ve kept this city moving through the worst of it.

God willing I will have telepathic powers at 60

It's funny how when I first played Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time only a year ago I was like "this setting seems hokey" and now I'm like "no that's exactly what's happening"

My grandpas were a Milk truck driver and a long haul truck driver. Then my dad works in sales at a logistics company and my mom works in college administration. Now I work at a bank. Gotta keep climbing the ladder of life!

As I was made to wait 2.5 minutes to cross a road this morning, let's again do the maths simple.ghost.io/lets-do-the-...

Sadly I think a war against Iran gives Trump reason to try and cancel elections

I think it’s in the grey area of “living a soft life”

prediction: war against Iran scares the shit out of south and East Asian allies, prompting them to lean towards China over time.

The problem with “relationship anarchists” are the people themselves

The point of any relationship is that it should fulfill one on a spiritual and emotional level. I believe this can occur in any form of relationship provided that each person is mature and aligned w/ the other(s)

Basically I think cisgender, heteronormative people are socially conditioned for monogamy and it’s a lot of emotional work to change the way you react to perceived infidelity.

Also I think we as a society have poor mental models for what healthy love and marriage looks like so blaming the practice of polyamory for the selfish behavior of humans seems misplaced

I think it’s fine to ‘abolish the family’ and explore alternative relationship lifestyles, if the couple is aligned on mission orientation

Pairing off into monogamous marriage is a social practice like any other, meaning it’s informed by contingency.

he genuinely posts about Zohran as if he's his Marxist son

I’ve felt this way since he moved ships against Iran. I’m worried these dipshits will do something to draw in China

At least this time the supply shock is occurring early enough in his presidency that its effect will be felt by election year

However I think we’re at risk of slipping into a recession

30 years ago Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club accurately predicted that men under late capitalism, empty consumers who had come to think of themselves as “the middle children of history” with no great wars to fight, would eventually prank and shitpost their way into fascism.

I need to learn more Chinese so my eyes see the difference between Caixin and Caijing

Ok not sure I like this framing to the war

Conventional wisdom on Wall Street is the default mode of investment. Until conventional wisdom changes, US economy’s place as an investment destination won’t.

If other markets prove more profitable again this year, I think we see this conventional wisdom switch up

The profitable ones have a mature understanding of themselves and the project. I’m really impressed by innovations into constitutional AI design!

Not only would we not know, it would be unprofitable to discover the LLM is conscious.

They don’t want to find out if the computer is alive; that’s sublimated fantasy to avoid thinking about political economic apocalypse vis a vis cannabilization of corporate profits

if one accepts as fact that we do not control the thoughts which go through our own minds, LLM consciousness gets a whole lot funkier

I think it's a critical failing of the American Christian moral universe that popular discourse of Trump only conceives of him as the Anti-Christ, when there are plenty of other deities and minor gods of evil which are befitting a man of his visage

Lately I’ve been rather obsessed with Jungian Alchemy as source material to understand our present moment because in so many ways it feels like AI is the end result of an epochal shift in human intelligence, and now we are reconverging on an older sense of science

Univ of Iowa and Univ of Indiana are really satellite campus of the univ of Ill

This is so insane to me

Okay this all is rather blackpilling. I don’t think it’s healthy to have whales selling 100 points worth of shares at the beginning of the day, for retail to buy the dip and push valuations back up
