If you put a book down for a long time, and then take up reading it again, you may have forgotten the plot and characters. The Where was I website will summarize everything that has occurred up to the point of the page number you specify, without giving away any spoilers ahead.

Owning a cat could double your risk of schizophrenia. And it may not be due just to toxoplasmosis. This would explain a LOT of the craziness amongst female lefties, actually. It's known that conservatives prefer dogs to cats.

This may be why Yann LeCun left Meta. How humiliating that one of the great brains of AI had to answer to a young Asian hustler who made his money just by commoditizing datasets to companies to train their LLMs. Why did Zuck let this happen. But LeCun has an interesting vision. He's probably rich enough to have enough FU money to leave Meta and pursue his dream. I wish him luck.

Drinking 1 cup of coffee daily actually decreases your risk of atrial fibrillation. Not what I would have thought.

AI wrapper apps were the low-hanging fruit. But some were able to make money off of it anyway. I'm thinking about Mark Cuban getting rich from the sale of Broadcast.com. Make your money fast before the world knows what's going on.

There's something worse than recession and we're already in it. This supposedly about inflation but the article focuses on NYC, and the problem is not so much inflation as that the bulk of the city was dependent on government subsidizies. A lot of people lived the subsidized life, in order to survive in a world living adjacent to the world's richest people. Talk about income disparity. And so the government had to keep up with the subsidies in order to finance their lifestyle. And the subsidies are being pulled back. But the cure isn't Mamdani. The author states:
"I suppose one way to fix inequality would be to wreck the property values by returning us to the crime and filth-ridden era of the early 1990’s, but that’s probably (hopefully?) not what he has in mind."Of course that it what Mamdani wants. Trashing the rich will certainly lessen the income disparity some, but the rich will take measures. And all of NYC will suffer as a result. Really too bad.
No the problem isn't inflation. It's living the subsidized life for too long. You had to know it wasn't going to last forever.
––– 良くない––– The Multnomah County deflection center program has been an expensive disaster, and they don't want to hear about it.
“Two people a day for the millions we’ve spent can’t continue,” Brim-Edwards said. “I think we need an improved model.”
What a grift and a waste of taxpayer dollars.Vega Pederson held firm, calling for Brim-Edwards to stop interrupting her and vowing to continue deflection meetings without county commissioners or the public.
“That is the way we will continue to operate so we can continue to have frank discussions,” Vega Pederson said.
