We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

A quick thread on California's water supply issues and the L.A. fires. There is a great deal of confusion on this topic. The 2 concepts are related, but not necessarily in a direct manner. L.A. was not generally short of water; it mismanaged the water supply it already had. (1/9)

The more that is spent, the worse it gets, because the money doesn’t go to the homeless, it goes to the hundreds of ā€œcharitiesā€ that then treat the homeless as sources of revenue. The more homeless there are, the more money these organizations get, so their incentive is to increase, not decrease, homelessness! Whatever you incentivize will happen.

On the proposed law gives TikTok 165 days to sell or it would be banned in the US China would likely block the sale. Ā In 2020, China changed rules on tech exports, restricting the export of software like the algorithm that underpins TikTok’s addictive recommendation algorithm

NEW: President of Argentina Javier Milei demolishes socialism in front of a bunch of socialists at the World Economic Forum. šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„ ā€œI'm here to tell you that the western world is in danger and it is endangered because those who are supposed to have to defend the values of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inextricably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty.ā€ ā€œUnfortunately, in recent decades, motivated by some well-meaning individuals willing to help others and others motivated by the wish to belong to a privileged caste.ā€ ā€œThe main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for different versions of what we call collectivism. We are here to tell you that collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world. Rather, they are the root cause.ā€ Video: @CitizenFreePres

Argentina made rental laws in 2020, ostensibly to protect tenants: 3 yr leases, rent control (annual price increase set by govt) Unintended effect: landlords couldn’t make $, took properties off the market, supply ā¬‡ļø 30% Milei deregulated, prices have already fallen 20%!
šŸ‡¦šŸ‡· ARGENTINA: With Milei’s decree deregulating the housing market, the supply of rental units in Buenos Aires has doubled - with prices falling by 20%.

Yesterday Nancy Pelosi and her husband traded Nvidia, $NVDA calls. I want to give you the history of this trade and show the arrogance of Congress. Her Nvidia calls show that Nancy Pelosi once again believes politicians should be able to trade (and in size). Let’s start in December 2021. After a history of unusual trading, Nancy Pelosi was asked if she thinks US Congress members should trade despite legislative conflicts by Bryan Metzger. She said, "We are a free market economy. Congress should be able to participate in that". Insane. In Jan 2022 Unusual Whales releases their most famous trading report, showing Congress beat the market. Nancy Pelosi is listed as the fifth best trader in Congress. That report creates a flurry of media and outrage, while the report continues to go viral. Within seven days of publishing, five new bills banning members of Congress from trading are proposed. In the summer of 2022, it is revealed that Nancy Pelosi was trading millions of dollars of $NVDA, Nvidia before voting on a US semiconductor bill by the Biden administration. We reported on the trade to once again, outrage by the public when disclosed. Interestingly, for the first time in history, a few days later Nancy Pelosi disclosed trades made on the same day they were made (likely the fastest disclosure in history of US Congress). She reported that she sold out of her Nvidia position, the first time she divested from conflicts in her portfolio. One month later Nancy Pelosi proposes alongside Representative Lofgren her own Congressional trading ban, a bill which was incredibly weak and filled with loopholes. And then, Pelosi stopped trading. Well, until yesterday. One week after Chinese President Xi visits her home state of California, and before Biden announces new US semiconductor focuses, her husband decides to buy two million dollars of deep in-the-money Nvidia calls, the same company she divested from due to conflicts a year earlier. One terrible thing about this trade is that it was done when Congress was in session!!!!!! You can use Unusual Whales to find the exact price she paid for her options and leveraged bets. Pelosi has a history of unusual trading, and her portfolio itself is up around 60% YTD. If you want to find and follow her portfolio, you can do so on Unusual Whales in our Portfolio tab. Pelosi has made millions while in Congress, with a networth close to likely a quarter to half a billion. No matter what trade or conflict though, I will report on it. Congress cannot hide from me, and I will not stop until Congress is banned from trading.

For the last 6 months, I’ve been embedded in OpenAI and Microsoft, studying how they build AI. Then Sam Altman was fired, sparking a five-day crisis that some insiders started calling the ā€œTurkey-Shoot Clusterfuck.ā€ I had a front row seat. 🧵 newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

Only in California. We've spent $9 billion for high-speed rail. If you had to guess, how much does each mile of rail laid cost so far? It's a trick question. They haven't laid a single rail yet and the cost just went up to 128 Billion.
