Jim Bianco I think rightly corrects the famous "inverted yield curve causes recession" with "it's the un-inversion, that causes recession".

And that happens when short end yields rapidly fall. That would happen w/ FED easing to handle ...recession.

If JPM brags about calling AI soon, why can't I, having written on key players 1.5 year earlier?

Besides, everyone still fails to imagine that in a world of abundance scarcity has value. And those you can count on your fingers.

Angola sick and tired of cuts leaves OPEC, joining Qatar and Ecuador who left in last decade. Says gains nothing of membership.

Easy Twitter UX improvement if @elonmusk cared, toggle in profile settings "block crypto bots":

block anybody that:

-made at >=2 tweets in past 7 days entirely of tags of other accounts

-has ".eth" in their username

-has animated scam avatar, should be easy ML based on first two

Looming risk with spiraling out consequences in Asia: Himalayan glaciers melting. From erratic hydropower, need for more resilient infrastructure due to landslides, ultimately terminal risk of fresh water in region where most population is located. Nikkei:

U.S. LAWMAKERS URGE BIDEN TO PROBE EU TARGETING OF US TECH COMPANIES - LETTER

U.S. LAWMAKERS WARN EU'S DIGITAL MARKETS ACT COULD UNDERMINE AMERICAN INTERESTS - LETTER

Pocket politicians and their masters are alert - if digital markets act gets through, it sets the precedent for US.

Estonian Milrem Robotics CEO:

"still not easy for EU defense companies to get financing. Financial institutions assign industry same lvl of risk as tobacco,sex industries. This, led to the sale of a controlling stake in Milrem Robotics to UAE-based technology group EDGE Group"

Paul Sankey on CNBC:

OPEC self inflicted pain w/ cuts so far does not yield results. US, Canada, Brasil all increasing output. In US rig count is not increasing - productivity increases.

And there's a real chance of Saudi flooding the market. Also active M&As in the sector.

✅ It's official now. After more than 15 years on #Twitter, I'm finally leaving...

Thank you nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m for championing this protocol and supporting the devs. At first, I didn't quite understand #Nostr, but now that I do, I realize the watershed change that it will cause in the years ahead.

Minutes after releasing blogpost on 2024 goal to quit social media consumption I saw your note. I think a lot of people are disappointed by Elon's governance.

This is excerpt from my post on Twitter particularly:

"When founder left, some spirit of last redemption died with Titter.. Elon built some crazy things, but I had to unfollow him a month or so after “Twitter files”. Guy was just so drastically looking to start media fires, drive engagement. Pattern may be familiar to students of Game. Desperate look. A lot of fintwit from 2019-2021 accounts stopped posting. AI hype several months ago on main feed was terribly bad. Crypto bots tagging, fake followers.. And I don’t even have scale, so what about high profile accounts? What’s their UX like? Community notes? Ain’t effective when note is approved 2 days after viral misinfo had spread. Putin trolls like Hinke outright buy followers in hundred thousands. For past year – a wave of growth hackers with purchased blue checks now spam high profile account replies with GPT written explainers or summaries.

For past months, most of the times I would visit 2-3 profiles directly by URL, not the feed.

In one of best accidents of 2023, I saw Ben Evan’s tweet with link to his blog “Leaving Twitter“. It did not plant an idea, that was already there, but it was water."

Welcome, and glad to see diversity of topics growing here.

24' goal: unidirectional relation to social media: produce rather than consume. In post I outline how it will likely impact my social media presence and what lead to this decision.

Thank you for your understanding. Info scaling down already in place.

It's the second time I'm sharing a cover of Hurt, this time by 2Cellos. A duo I was not familiar before. Turns out most popular version by Johny Cash is itself a cover.

When different versions speak through, it's something meta..

Heeeeey 💜 Just wanted to drop in and say how much I appreciate you #nostriches. There’s been a lot going on since I uploaded a few songs to nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg at the end of August ☀️ Nearly 4M - make that Million 🙌 HellYa! - SATs received from all corners of the globe 🧡 Over 5 years on Spotify I’ve only made $700 total and at todays 40k 🚀 BTC price it’s about $1700 🤯

I feel damn lucky to be a part of helping to shake up the very broken music business.

I don’t always know where the SATs come from so thank you to all the #anonymous supporters out there. It truly is an honor to be a small part of showing the world how #lightningpayments & #bitcoin can change lives and disrupt industry.

So much more to come! 🫶🏻Ainsley

Word Humility is derived from Latin "Humus", which means Ground or Soil. Staying humble is being grounded.
