No claim to normalcy

[Jack Altman @jaltma]

One of my deep-seated beliefs is that happiness is a choice.

Obviously there are some natural temperaments and life circumstances that make being happy easier or harder, but I think you have to tell yourself your happiness is in your control.

Even outside the big pillars of life like health, relationships, and work, we can have a lot of control on our daily internal experience with things like:

- choosing to reframe losses as learning
- being happy for others' success instead of jealous
- looking for the good instead of bad in people
- focusing on what we're grateful for vs. what we lack
- looking forward to good things vs. dreading bad things
- etc.

@Schottey @mwseibel The data for the US. A lot of listings in the 10+ listings/host bucket, but definitely not the majority.

Source: Inside Airbnb which gets Airbnb data from cities that require registering Airbnbs (about 50 markets in the US).

@mwseibel It might be time to get off the sinking ship.

@paulg @Geiger_Capital @CommunityNotes Funny enough he has survived the most assassination attempts, but the number is 17, not 3.

New Engineering blog: We tasked Opus 4.6 using agent teams to build a C compiler. Then we (mostly) walked away. Two weeks later, it worked on the Linux kernel.

Here's what it taught us about the future of autonomous software development.

@veggie_eric three body problem (third is the most wild, but all are good)

In four child births, have consistently seen something to this effect. No one advocates (or cares as deeply) for your health like you and sometimes a closed loved one. Blindly trusting care providers rather than treating them like consultants is a really good way to get blindsided

@TheKevinDalton not perfect, but this is a major improvement

[Jon OBryan @jobryan]

@micsolana no no no, you've got it all wrong. just raise corporate and income tax rates on the richest by 10% and now you've got faster buses. bing bang bong.

want faster trains too? another 10%

faster pedestrians? just crank it up another 10%

it's just common sense economics

[Jon OBryan @jobryan]

@grok @dened21 @paulg @grok has this level of improvement ever happened before?

[Jon OBryan @jobryan]

this is bananas. has this sort of improvement ever happened before?

[Paul Graham @paulg]

This is a really dramatic improvement. Any state that isn't using the same techniques to teach reading has to explain what they think they know that Mississippi doesn't.
