it’s in gemini, just create it in ai studio. oh, that’s for your personal google one account. for workspace you need gemini business. no, not gemini advanced, that’s ai pro now. unless you need ai ultra. oh agents? you do that in spark actually. no, not gemini api managed agents, that’s different. for coding use jules. unless you mean the agentic ide, that’s antigravity. no, that’s the old antigravity, download the new one. actually gemini cli is being deprecated, use antigravity cli. no the flash model is smarter than the pro model. unless you need pro. if it’s video, use flow. no, flow uses veo. no, nano banana is images. actually that’s in gemini now. unless you’re in search, then it’s ai mode. no, research is notebooklm. anyway it’s all very simple.

Chaser (Fed Reserve paper reviewing gold revaluations in history): https://t.co/tobAT3whaa

"When all official reserves are valued at market prices the unrealized valuation changes recorded in the revaluation account can be shifted to other parts of the balance sheet to generate funds, as discussed in more detail below. Drawing on valuation changes in gold as a funding source is particularly salient because most gold reserves globally were acquired prior to 1990"

Thanks to @MarcelKasumovic for all of his incredible research.

@ClosingCrawl the cost of the Ghorst ‘splosion could be Bix & Andor waiting too long for her trauma fake-catharsis, and his techniques getting popularized.

[Ben Gimpert @someben]

@ClosingCrawl oh Jon. Andor’s great /because/ the badasses are flawed and figuring it out. They’re not baddasses yet!

Is a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve an "If", or "when"? What's the Exchange Stabilization Fund? We ask @MarcelKasumovic on our new weekly series, #MacroMondaysWithMarcel (which we record post our firm morning call).

The official Fault Lines trailer is live! 🚨🚨

Four years ago, we set out to tell the story of America’s housing crisis through the prism of what was happening in our own backyard of San Francisco.

Today we’re excited to bring this film out into the world with our first trailer and a series of advanced screenings around the country.

such a 2024-hellscape pattern: Too -big-to- fail garbage fire loses PII because they are shit at security (Bank of Amerillwide this time). Their compensation to victims? An identity theft “protection” racket, to do their job for them. #bankofamerica

@ClosingCrawl an Avignon Papacy reference AND The Crow as the credits roll? We are not worthy.

stop saying “institutional investor.” It’s awkward.

stop putting the sauce under the food. It’s awkward.

[Ben Gimpert @someben]

stop saying “machine learning is just compression.” It’s awkward.

@ClosingCrawl maybe Stephenson was doing a Lovecraft nod on the rat things, https://t.co/xU7pa0JNKp

it's a planetary A/B test, right? Someone needs to be /trying/ to make @Instacart 's website this shitty, right?
