Like to read about fitness, nutrition, HIIT, aging, MLB, biotechs, microcaps, hop water and IT security. This is not investment advice. Love doing #tuckjumps

@mmm_btus Lot of people on vacation. My gym classes were much smaller than usual all this week. Walmart not very busy today.

Sadly, they'll just bail these cretins out during the next crisis. You can't outlaw stupidity.

It was the worst investment in human history. And, at some point soon, it will wipe out Bank of America. Let me tell you the whole story. 👇

More Chinese advances in cyber security

[pilvar (Philippe Dourassov) @pilvar222]

Holy moly: GLM-5.3 got much better in cybersecurity since our pre-release evaluation with @Zai_org. It now matches GPT-5.6-Sol on our cybersecurity benchmark at 0.4x the cost 🤯

- At pass@1: it went from 60.4% to 65.6% CVEs rediscovered, crushing every other open model on one-shot tasks

- At pass@3: it did 75% -> 78.1%, matching GPT-5.6-Sol

- Its precision remained stable, reporting fewer false positives than DeepSeek models

The performance increase comes from a behavioral change: the new version is more persistent. It tends to run longer, and had a ~43% reasoning tokens increase. But the performance upgrade is worth that additional cost.

@PythiaR Only problem is the Department of Labor can "adjust" the CPI under partisan influence.

2025 acorns - 2027 will be the year of the tick:
... large number of oak trees drop their acorns at the same time, it creates...buffet for mice. All those hearty meals help boost the mouse population the following year and, in turn, the number of nymphal ticks the year after that

[CIDRAP @CIDRAP]

Want to predict Lyme disease risk? Count the acorns, not the deer

Findings from a 30-plus-year study challenge long-held assumptions about the factors that drive this tickborne disease.

Seems like things are getting pretty desperate in Iran. I also saw food up 128 percent yoy. But what do I know.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

Iran protest over economy
Dec. 2025: $1= 1,440,000 rials

Today
Aug. 2026: $1 = 1,900,000 rials

It’s bad news.

Something is breaking in America’s investor heavy housing markets.

The more investors that bought into a ZIP code during the boom, the bigger home prices have declined since.

Some of the hardest-hit neighborhoods in Atlanta, Baltimore, and Phoenix had investors buying 40%+ of homes in 2022.

Many of those ZIP codes are now down 15-20%+ in value.

Meanwhile, the bottom right of the chart tells a different story.

Markets with relatively little investor activity during the pandemic have experienced stronger home value growth.

The reason this is happening is because investors dramatically scaled back purchases after rates rose and home value growth slowed. Leaving markets propped up by investor demand more exposed to declines.

This shows the danger of buying homes in places with investor-led housing booms.

Once the cycle turns, the decline can be swift.

Tailwind for $asps

@GalPeach36278 and I thought the exact same thing. We triggered 10,000+ mortgage fraud investigations.

For the record, she wants Julia Roberts to play her should she be in a new version of The Big Short.

In my case, Catherine Brunet would be my first thought. However, there is a very high chance of her turning it down (she is super woke).

BREAKING: Wealthy parents are paying upwards of $6,500 for southern sorority rush coaches.

Rush coaches that specialize in SEC schools like University of Alabama, Auburn, and Ole Miss are seeing increased demand especially for out-of-state students from NJ, NY, and CT.

Rush coaches charge $3,000 to $12,000+ and offer advice on securing outfits and auditing social media profiles.

Housing malaise spreading ....

[Nick Gerli @nickgerli1]

The first Northeast housing market is starting to crack...

And it's Boston.

Inventory is spiking, hitting 1,800+ listings in Suffolk County.

That's a 62% supply increase since 2023.

Meanwhile, Boston sales are running about 17% below the long-term norm.

The problem is affordability. The typical Boston home is now worth nearly $760k, pricing buyers out of the market.

And now the correction is spreading.

Home values are falling across most ZIP codes in Suffolk County, with Reventure forecasting further declines into 2027.

That's significant because the Northeast has been one of the strongest housing regions in America throughout this downturn.

Boston could be the first crack. Will other Northeast markets follow?
