I just want to know what @ellisellisellis.bsky.social's 12 Mini looks like with iOS26b1. My 13 mini is struggling to say the least.

Great interview. I read Kornacki's "The Red and the Blue" a while ago which also deals with this period (and particularly the rise of Buchanan and Clinton) and thought it was fascinating.

A simple, radical proposal by Olivier #Blanchard and Angel #Unide for creating a large, liquid eurobonds market. This would lift a key obstacle to the emergence of the euro as a major international currency and would help create an alternative to the dollar. www.piie.com/blogs/realti...

Terminally online before it was cool. Funnily enough, after leaving at the end of 2022, I tried getting back on there last summer. It asked me for age verification - which I did - and promptly locked me out. I had to get my mum to send me her ID to prove that I had permission to sign up in '09.

This is an absolutely delightful paper from the Bank of Italy, where researchers asked LLMs if they would use customer deposits to pay for corporate liabilities as if they were heads of financial institutions.
