Alright I’ve seen enough, time to put the pronouns back in the bio. The market Gods demand it.

donald trump is using grok to run the united states of america
The ranking members of the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees have written a letter to President Trump asking whether he has been soliciting advice from Grok in order to help carry out his official duties as President of the United States.
They also demanded that he preserve any prompts sent to Grok, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, as well as outputs in response to those prompts, that were 'submitted to AI chatbots in carrying out your constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties.'
The letter was provided by Politico.

Bank of Canada hiked even as growth momentum is moderating and there is slack in the economy. The Fed held even though inflation is "elevated" and growth is "strong"

Not sustainable without sacrificing other priorities
The WSJ lays out what keeping Gulf oil flowing actually involves:
-50,000 US troops, 20 Navy ships, two carriers across the region.
-$2–3 Billion USD/month or 67-100 Million USD/day above normal military spending
-Aircraft, warships and crews under mounting strain.
-Some US officials see the situation as untenable without more international help. Coalition efforts have failed.

At least Ontario homeowners won’t get destroyed when MCAP starts assessing property taxes based on more current values

Pieter Levels (@levelsio) has a habit of confidently misreading data and treating anecdotes as evidence 🧵👇
This is what happens when you train your AI and your following base with skewed world views, dodgy studies and huge biases: they amplify your crooked narrative.
At least 85 people this year died from Spanish train accidents, and likely it will grow to 100 at the end of this day
Very tragic and this makes Spanish trains one of the most dangerous modes of transport now
~100x more dangerous than flying commercial
~40x more dangerous than non-Spanish trains
And every trip is nopw as dangerous as jumping from a plane and skydiving
Two highly deadly train accidents in one year, that's so extreme and unlikely that it makes it at as dangerous as flying one of the most deadly airlines in the world, the Nepalese Yeti Airlines that keeps crashing due to the mountainous terrain
Pretty exceptional in a bad way

desde que a barreira da língua foi derrubada nesse site, percebi que o mundo é mais parecido do que eu imaginava
Yeah your family doctor definitely referred you to a specialist for elevated cholesterol. This totally happened.
Waited 2+ years for a family doctor in Canada. Gave up and paid a private service to get one.
Got a physical. Cholesterol was elevated, so I got referred to a specialist.
The specialist’s office just called to accept the referral.
18 months later.
I’d forgotten what it was even for. In that time I overhauled my diet, went hard in the gym, and my levels are now great.
I’m young and this wasn’t life-threatening. Plenty of people are having similar wait times for much worse things and aren’t so lucky.
I wonder if there’s been a recent technological advancement that could help hackers plan hacks with extreme detail

Patrick Stewart's entire body of work, but as Picard in particular, is something that connects the person I am today with who I was as a kid. It collapses time for me. I still have the same awe and fascination with his performance and belief that it represents the best of us.
