Reading economics articles on Wikipedia, some can be summarised as
- The Buffoon's Conjecture
- Imagine an island
- my first perfect model (no crits pls)
- The falling-rising proof that the poors are bad
- New_model_final_draft_FINAL_v2.docx
- My beliefs are actually Natural Law
The inflation targeting by the RBA is garbo neoliberal policy. There's even a through line to Friedman style thought!
Like clearly people will be pissed going to be pissed at the government when they have high inflation + interest rates, and wages still don't keep up!
Of course Australians just bury tyres, it makes perfect sense when you look at all the recycling material people still put in rubbish bins!

Taxes lodged again, this year I'm getting a small refund!
Would've been less work if I had time + energy to keep on top of everything this year, but I got there.
I want to sleep for a thousand years now
Gemini can do a very cool thing where it suggests a broken Gsheet formula, then when it doesn't work and you ask it to fix it, it will take like 5 minutes and start calling Gsheets Excel while reasoning lmao.
Genuinely how is Google this behind?
It's damn impressive how fast speech to text is and how they can even get technical terms correct. Been using it more and more lately, because typing on mobile sucks
My phone has this really cool charging bug right now where if adaptive charging is enabled, it will charge so slowly like it's meant to take until 7am the next day.
Definitely wasn't like this before
Guy writing about brothels be like "I fucking love graphic design"
The writing in this is quite explicit, I was expecting way more coded language.
Of course it also recommends treating syphilis with mercury and opium, as you would in the 19th c.!

Social media isn't where you put your smartest thoughts, but it's crazy reading an article where this guy's construed as an AI expert, then you go to twitter and he's complaining about GPT5. He's the worst of this article though, and probs a hustler

Went to get groceries the other day at a place I normally don't because walkways were blocked off.
It's a kinda spooky and liminal space because there's few open stores, so you can't do anything but pass through. Feels like it's already been abandoned even though it's all new!
Not expecting it to be fully fixed this go around, but I can finally hear someone fucking around with plumbing upstairs to fix the constant water noise issue.
Only took a month for anything to be done!
Video isn't great, but the dowsing stories on this video are weirdly formulaic, there's no failures, no in between steps, just:
1. Problem
2. Dowsing
3. ????
4. PROFIT!!!
Also almost all the anecdotes involve men?

Repairing the swivel on my XM4 headphones was easier than I expected, was expecting the wires to be more fiddly. They should've made the original part from a stronger material though ifixit.com/Guide/Sony+WH-100…
Insane to me that you can sell a laptop with an i3, 8GB of ram, an integrated GPU, and call it an "AI PC", just because it also has a little NPU!
Right now it feels like everything is happening all the time and I just can't keep up. I've already cut a lot of time wasting stuff out and it's still not enough
Saw Coyote vs. Acme last night with my dad, pretty good movie, but it has a disappointing amount of 3d animation that's not dressed up well enough to look like 2d animation.
Lot's of good gags, but the whole time I was thinking about Better Call Saul due to the location lol
