@enginoid excellent article! Can you expand on the part about giving agents their own identity? Do you have agents responding to being tagged in Linear? I'm looking for an elegant way to do this

@blader this just happened to me. just suddenly started saying "usage credits required for this model" in the middle of using it

@83beals @C_Sommerfeldt Thanks! Yes, working on a post now, coming soon

@83beals @C_Sommerfeldt FY26 was a magical combination of epic underbudgeting and windfall tax revenues. FY27 much more realistic about costs, and probably a little dreamy about revenue. A $6B gap has been manageable in the past when billions in "unanticipated" revenue could be relied on to save the day

DEVELOPING: NYC cash crunch worsens with risk of hitting negative balance in November: sources. @NYCMayor and @NYCComptroller teams work thru weekend to blunt pushback from nonprofits after @NBCNewYork reported possible delays in billions they’re owed 7/1

Very stoked @HacksHackers

@anna_bahr He put it in the version of the Financial Plan released in February. In fact, he VERY CONCRETELY proposed it for the next 4 years

@nkulw Pension reamortization is austerity budgeting

[VoxelNYC @VoxelNYC]

First look at how NYC's $5.4B budget crisis has been whooshed away: 74% closed by Albany, mostly in the form of permission to do a pension deferral. The remaining 26% is probably just the city stopping its habit of sandbagging revenue estimates. Future-NYC is going to feel it

@floor_per_area it's not my field and I'm out of my element... just reacting to the statistical rigor commentary

[VoxelNYC @VoxelNYC]

@floor_per_area that this kind of "science" has been so frequently cited by other researchers. shocking when you think about how citation count is treated as a metric of research quality

[VoxelNYC @VoxelNYC]

@floor_per_area This is the shocking part

Bottom line: Council appears to now give up a chunk of their savings plan - and agreeing with mayor that the best way to close their multi billion budget is to ask the state for more money

@supaculia @katie_honan Note Mamdani's proposal estimates $700M, and the same policy in the City Council Preliminary Response estimates $1.02B in revenue.

Detroit used to have a municipal civics curriculum in the public schools. Here’s the 1968 textbook.

@floor_per_area wow, excellent
