Revealed preference of many talking like this is not to actually eschew savings...
Replying to @battleangelviv
Saving money for the distant future is pointless with the advent of super intelligent abundance

Your agents can handle 30% more stuff. You just need to give them an "arm"—an always-on Macbook that your agents can execute computer use on.

So, this seems like a step in the right direction. I'm thinking they should also reward if the replies themselves get engagement.
The X algorithm has been updated. tl;dr: > replies + shares beat likes > small accounts get a fair shot > a ranking model based on reading time is next > new posts get an even chance to make the feed (re-recording The Attention Playbook module on how X works to reflect this)

I consistently use this to configure shortcuts etc
PSA: you can use iPhone mirroring + Codex computer use to automate your phone

I’m learning that it is very important to focus your energy. Do not add doors.

iPhone Duo is best understood as a tablet which you occasionally fold in half when moving from place to place.

BREAKING: Microsoft, $MSFT, is offering buyouts to 60,000 workers as part of the company’s efforts to cut costs amid AI adoption, per Bloomberg. Personnel on select teams in the US, Canada, India, and the UK at a vice president level and below will be eligible. This reflects ~27% of Microsoft's total workforce.

For those who feel anxiety about their work/employment status: have you considered that you may not be providing enough value?

Texas Sports Academy fall student surveys are in. 54% of students at our in-person campuses would rather go to Texas Sports Academy than go on vacation.

Hmmm
You can usually farm clicks for a lot cheaper without browser. This is for agents or traditional web tasks like price monitoring, background checks, etc. Focussed on very intense antibot.

I really like the iPhone Duo. The software is just very terrible though.

Celebrities use wired because bluetooth is more vulnerable to wiretapping.
80% of headphone-users on the L train to Brooklyn are corded rather than AirPods. Why is this? AirPods are a superior product, no?

What type of people are successful on Kalshi? We commissioned an independent third party to study our top traders. Here’s what they found: Top traders are not limited to privileged or financial backgrounds. -79% went to public school -They are over 2x as likely to have worked retail or service jobs than on Wall Street -65% are self-taught The majority of top traders: : -Actively seek out primary documents for research -Actively seek out conflicting sources to challenge their beliefs -Outperform the public on numeracy tests The findings echo the foundational work of Philip Tetlock: the best forecasters are not subject matter experts. They tend to be otherwise-ordinary people who are intellectually humble, willing to do research, and think probabilistically instead of emotionally.

iPhone Duo multitasking is way better than the iPad. Very intuitive, just works.
