Does "commitment" in monetary policy implies that Yellen and Warsh would be constrained by decisions and promises made by Arthur Burns or Marriner Eccles (Chair 1934–1948)? 🤔

Once per year, @elonmusk should hold an ostracism, in which all Twitter users may vote to ban one insufferable pundit for life.

The confusion that, after 60 years, still prevails about the scientific relevance (= 0) of that debate is disconcerting. Ideology has an incredibly powerful grip on the weak minds.

Clearly all French economists must repatriate at once, and save their country. Blanchard, Zucman, Saez, everyone. Go go go. Your expertise in inequality and wealth taxation will be critical 🌝
Le PIB de la France en 2026 : T1 🔴-0,1% T2 🟠0% T3 🔴-0,1% Inflation : Septembre +3,4% Octobre +3,8% Je pense qu'il faut une nouvelle taxe pour relancer l'économie Française.

Soon, the French will have to pay taxes in order to have the privilege of downloading the jokes you use to make fun of them online. 🌝 This is actually very sad, because I like France and French civilization a lot. Crown in gutter etc etc.
🚨 0.77€ de taxe pour regarder un film Netflix ! Ce vendredi, les députés viennent d'adopter un amendement socialiste visant à taxer les données qui circulent sur Internet à hauteur de 5,5 centimes par gigaoctet reçu en France. Ils ont complètement pété les plombs. Voici quelques exemples de ce que ça va désormais vous coûter : 🔴 Vous regardez un film Netflix de 2 heures en 4K ? Jusqu'à 0,77 € de taxe brute sur les données transmises. 🔴 Vous téléchargez un jeu vidéo de 150 Go ? 8,25 €. 🔴 Vous récupérez 200 Go de photos personnelles stockées chez Google ? 11 €. 🔴 Vous rapatriez 1 To de vos propres fichiers depuis Google Drive ? 55 €. 🔴 Vous restaurez 2 To de sauvegardes après une panne informatique ? 110 €. Ces taxes seront facturées aux plateformes américaines, qui vous vous en doutez bien, vous redescendront la facture ! Ils sont en train de construire une fiscalité qui pénalise le simple fait de transmettre de la donnée. Et ceci alors que nous sommes à l'aube d'une révolution technologique majeure avec l'IA ! Pour rester compétitifs, tous les pays doivent accélérer leur transformation numérique. Et nous en France, que trouve-t-on comme idée de génie ? UNE PUTAIN DE TAXE SUR LA DATA ! Et en plus ils ont le culot de nous la présenter comme une mesure écologique qui encouragerait à réduire les volumes de données échangées. Quelle bande de guignols. Il faut être totalement déconnecté des réalités économiques pour considérer qu'un pays peut retrouver sa prospérité en multipliant indéfiniment les prélèvements sur les activités productives. Cet amendement n'est pas encore une loi définitive, mais le simple fait qu'une telle proposition ait été adoptée à l'Assemblée nationale en dit long sur la manière dont nous sommes gouvernés. Ces fous du bus vont vraiment nous mettre au fond du ravin.

Nobody called *me* a "merchant of doubt" yet, and I feel sort of sad about it. At this point, the most I can hope for is merchant of cringe. 🥹

For example, you can't stop people from going to grad school. 🤷

I think I speak for everyone when I say "@AnthropicAI , fuck you and the horse you rode in on." I don't personally care about doing video game rewrites myself. But the whole concept that some busybody can tell me what I may not do with the tool I am paying for is deeply offensive. You will be replaced by open-weight and open-source models. Every asshole move like this makes you more enemies and brings that day closer.
ANTHROPIC IS CRACKING DOWN ON VIDEO GAME REWRITES 🚨 Claude Code picked up a new rule around Oct 27, sent from Anthropic’s servers under a flag called "tengu_heron_brook". There’s no setting to turn it off. The full rule: “Do build original games, games in a genre, and games from the user’s own designs and assets. Don’t build a recreation of a specific existing game, even if it is renamed or called original.” Is this the end of game rewrites, modding and everything in between?

This is so incredibly lame. And every Princeton freshman was required to sit through this during orientation.

This is a brilliant move by Gabriel. Hide the real dead bodies in plain sight, covered in a pile of nothingburger slop. Truly JBC tier 4D chess 🫪
