The key chart right now: Usually US economic pain is cushioned by falling bond yields and a strengthening dollar, which mean lower interest rates and more spending power for consumers. This time we’re seeing the opposite, meaning the pain will be amplified.

Happy Earth Day! Celebrate our planet today as immortal, fleeting, massive, varied, mysterious, and beautiful. Here are two pictures from a beach where I once sat and slept for a whole day, just looking; thinking about how small we are; and appreciating the warm breeze.

I documented my own personal hype cycle with ChatGPT so far after using it for coding the last few weeks. AI might give us obscure code but only natural stupidity can choose Comic Sans. (Base image thanks to Jeremykemp at English Wikipedia.)

Don't let this sort of thing become normalized. No criminal record. Married with a child. Complying with immigration bureaucracy. Agents wait outside his home. Smash his window while he calls his lawyer. Take him to an undisclosed location. This is Soviet secret police stuff. youtu.be/Bnlj-wSI4Bg

I agree that cognitive decline does go with air pollution, and that everyone seems whackadoo. A minor caveat is that air quality has generally been getting better in the US over many years, until wildfires. This blew my mind though: www.epa.gov/clean-air-ac...

OOH: ChatGPT undoubtedly got me further and faster in 2 days with new code that would have taken 2-4 weeks to learn. OTOH: at some point, ChatGPT told me it was working when it was not. Took 2 solid days of data inspection to debug, and only bc I knew what was wrong & what I was looking for.

Intriguing and entertaining, especially for the Boston grudges given as explanations: "Another user suggested point-to-point microwave links along the Charles River, possibly owned by a certain Ivy League university on either side of the river, are to blame".
