.@thriftycars is the most painfully slow car rental agency in #sfo . It takes them 10-15m8n per customer. It's the only car rental company here to have a line. #neveragain

Back in April, I set out to write an explainer on how large language models work. First I had to learn how they worked, and that was harder than I expected. This article is the culmination of 2+ months of in-depth research. I hope people find it useful. https://t.co/mDVbfcv1kI

@gregorytaylor1 Haha! The Universe does need to be in balance. I have much sympathy for those people whose lives have been upended by these fires.

The #smoke from the #wildfires in #canada was so bad in #Pittsburgh last night that the smoke detectors in my house went off several times during the night. #WildfireSmoke

Wonderful to hear that our team is among the recipients of the Future of Government Challenge Grant! Very much looking forward to working with Ana, Kayla, and Andrea on our project on responsible AI use in public procurement.

Received this email a few minutes ago and so excited for Bruce and Hansgeorg. Their book is so impressive as a work of scholarship, and so important for students of modern political economy. I cannot wait for Volume 2. In the meantime, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I asked ChatGPT to write me five free market themed fortunes for fortune cookies. I think they're pretty good @smpl5!

"Embrace free markets and let competition be your guiding force. Your entrepreneurial spirit will lead you to prosperity and success."

"The invisible hand of the market is at work in your favor. Trust in its wisdom and seize the opportunities it presents."

"Economic freedom is the key to unlocking your potential. Embrace innovation and watch your business soar to new heights."

"Remember, prices are signals that reflect supply and demand. Stay attuned to market trends and make wise investment decisions."

"In a world of uncertainty, remember the power of individual choice and voluntary exchange. Embrace Hayek's insights and navigate the market with confidence."

really interesting how aggregate cellphone usage can now be used as a metric for downtown activity in major cities. And it's amazing how many people / orgs are giving up on big cities post-COVID.

I missed this at the time, but the ruling dismissing Phil Falcone's LightSquared litigation makes fascinating reading. Sadly I doubt anyone will ever write what could have been a great book https://t.co/eSbdVicvIx
