# Economists' Forecasts Disproven:

Despite economists forecasting a slowdown for nine months, the U.S. economy continues to accelerate, leading to calls for economists to re-evaluate their models.

## Strong GDP Growth:

The second-quarter GDP expanded at a robust 3.8% annualized rate, a surprisingly strong pace given the Federal Reserve's efforts to control inflation.

## Positive Third-Quarter Outlook:

The Atlanta Fed's GDPNow model forecasts even stronger growth in the third quarter, projecting a 3.9% gain.

## Resilient Factors:

This unexpected strength is attributed to factors like resilient consumer spending, strengthened business investment in key sectors (AI, energy infrastructure, manufacturing reshoring), and surprising stability in the housing market, despite high interest rates.

## Challenging the Narrative:

it's becoming difficult to argue that the economy is still waiting for the delayed negative effects of past events, such as higher interest rates and policy changes.

Looking at volatile crypto stocks .. #MSTR feels like stable old hands 😂😂

#Sora 2 .. sorry #Meta ! Game over ..

Outside world is a mirror image ( chiral reflection) of your soul. Keep in mind it is left right opposite .. 😜

Why can't I pay the lightning invoice from #nostr ?

Check this out first ..you can thank me later .

This is a paradigm shift in video editing ..particularly for #podcast s

You can automate your entire creative workflow .. and each of your video state lives .. you can edit from anywhere ..n2n

This is ONE ( of the many ) reasons .. but the most important

I am trying to get this dev(s) on #nostr for a while ..they been too busy in building Mosaic ..

Interesting .. that will sure warrant a comprehensive view .. but XOM gives 9 percent dividend :-)

#nostr creators .. check out this new AI video editor .. they are giving 1000 credits for beta launch today .. I have been testing this for a while ..blown my mind ..

I love plat but it is not big enough to qualify as a strategic asset ..yet ..

#goldenAge is here ..literally ..

And btw ..never use IDEs like vscode or Curser .. use only Cli .. keeps you aware of what is going on ..

That is primarily because coding is so fast we lose track of things .. besides ... vibe coding means we never follow the time tested methodologies like Scrum or ASAP ..

The key is to use LLM not just for writing code .. use it for

0) General specs and milestone plan

1) Tech Specs and sprints planning to hit the milestones

2) Test Plans .. automated to be done by LLM , manual testing to close a milestone.

3) Bug Tracking .. any bug that gets you back into regression of closed milestones must be recorded as Primary defect .

4) Knowledge Management - Have LLM note down all the cool ideas and insights that we get during build .. this is important for how and why you made design choices

5) Configuration Management .. complete deployment plan ..from dev , test to prod

6) Change management .. .. you will always make changes to original plan .. have LLM record all the changes that impact closed milestone

7) Metrics - goal should be to reduce primary defect density by 70 percent from build to test to user testing ..

Have LLMs update these documents besides writing detailed notes for every git commit ..

Yes .. My kids who are brought up in the west love yellow lights ..me and my wife prefer white :-) ..it is a continuous struggle on the dinner table 😭 .. gave me a chance to dive deeper !

that was impressive ..but what we do now I super super impressive .. do you know high rise buildings are practical earthquake proof these days ..

Just like in any spheres ( be it agriculture or information tech ) ..the rate of growth is exponential... But as we are growing ..and since we wanna take care of 8 billion (not just God or few kings :-) .. ..our approach is becoming more utilitarian .. which is a good thing .

Dogs wanna go on long walks .. though most of them can't trace their path back home ..

Cats never go far .. and they know when and how to get back ..

Freedom comes when you know where is your home !

#catstr

This is super hot :-) .. I always find someone looking for their lost dog(s) ..almost every other week ..

Isn't it with every project .. first ten weeks feel like slow death ..and then everything comes together ..

I love white light .. yellow is so gloomy .. may be it is weather thing .. growing up in India we hated summer (s) ..winter was always the season of festivities .. in summer ..cold white light feels soothing .. yellow feels like hot sun 🌞 :-)

I just keep on learning more from what I learnt :-)

It changes everything.. imagine you were planning to buy a new car .. instead you bought Bitcoin 😞 .. California needs a good reason to spend people's money 🤑🤑 .. in absence of that measurable objective we just splurge aimlessly

The idea that users don't own hardware was pioneered by IBM .. even today mainframes are leased .. just butting in without reading the entire thread :-)

Researched with #Gemini where we stand to have have #AI allow us talk to dogs .. looks like there is an #Umwelt barrier .. dogs perceive the world lot different from us .. mere sounds aren't enough ..we need an AI to discern smells as well :-) good and bad ..

I heard people still stand in lines to buy apple phones !!!!! Really 🥺

She obviously have some business interests 😜 .. but sure I am not against vapes .. I do have a real garden one .. but I wouldn't go overboard with vaping just cuz "time testing" is irreplaceable.. flower been around from thousands of years and we know for sure that Gods love it :-)

Naval is super good .. beyond just getting rich ..

It is all together .. when you start pulling out chemicals ..it becomes medicine ..as opposed to primordial herb it is ..

The first bondage ( in Vedic science) is bondage of knowing .. it's called "Bodh Bandana" .. the next is bondage due to actions - "Karm Bandana" ..

Not knowing is ultimate freedom .. because "unKnowing" is hardest part .. once you seen something ..you can't really unsee :-)

You know why Buddha is sometimes referred to as "Bohdhi Sattava" ?

On the other side , this might be a brooming process ..

If you coin can't get a Treasury company ..might as well go home ..

For future ones .. a Treasury company might as be in a white paper ....😭

I say that ..cuz western socialism is totally driven by " what is in it for me " .. free healthcare .. free college .. free free free ..FOR me . ..

None gives an f where from all that money coming or who pays for it? .. too much cognitive load 😭😭

I am sure the concept " socialism" must have some virtues whenever or wherever it was invented .. I have no clue ..so can't comment ..

What a nerdy note 😭😭

If every nation follows this role , the indiscriminate activism in judiciary can be curtailed ..

Besides corporations should be able to contest the ruling in their home jurisdiction

All the more reason

Recognition can't be impartial.. we recognize something only if either we appreciate or despise ..

#quantum computers are a natural home for #AI .. nostr:nevent1qqsvlw0v0293k45sxp2w9r2l8wfkndn6pazkyktza3u34gk47u250msppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgs94uregcr2zk6kg8394g3aqjh5evxh6hngkyw2edr726jxnr7233qrqsqqqppfmtqhjq but they also pose a threat against the entire digital infrastructure which runs on #cryptography .... so how do you hedge the innovation ? That is where #gold comes in ..

If your relationship is empty inside but looks great on paper ! .. well ... pat yourself .

Cuz most relationships are NOT only empty , they also look bad ... On paper ! 😭😭😭

Protocol never does ..platforms do !
