For most of the time I worked on the Gaza humanitarian response at USAID, this smuggling ring was the bane of our existence. It dramatically impacted price and market stability in Gaza and made the truck drivers jobs far more dangerous. We all knew it was the IDF running it.
además quieren hacerlo el mismo año que SpaceX (otro que tal) va a lanzar su IPO. Dudo muchísimo que encuentren mercado con ganas de poner tanta pasta.

🎂 Hoy cumple 67 añazos un señor de enorme talento y sensibilidad, que ha tenido la capacidad de acompañar y tejer sueños en vidas enteras, incluyendo la mía.
Happy birthday, Mr. Robert James Smith!
esa promesa lleva siendo inminente "el año que viene" desde 2022, y mientras repiten la escena de Charlie Brown con la pelota de fútbol.
* La promesa de que iban a reemplazar con ordenadores los currantes de cuello blanco ha sido la motivación principal por la que las VCs se metieron a saco en la IA más que lo que hicieron en Crypto. Buscan desesperadamente repetir los retornos que consiguieron con las redes sociales
Ayer Microsoft anunció que copilot ya dejará de ir a sub de 10 pavos y los clientes tendrán que empezar a pagar los tokens de computación al precio real.
Todo esto mientras vemos como los gigantescos proyectos de datacenters anunciados para este año se están cancelando o retrasando, las promesas de inversión que generaron hype en la bolsa mientras las empresas se metían en intercambios circulares para hinchar sus cifras obviamente no llegan a término
Por eso estamos oyendo como OpenAI y Anthropic buscan salir a bolsa, necesitan del órden de 50.000 minoyes cada uno para seguir operando n 2027 y esa pasta ya no la encuentran entre los grandes inversores
Esto no solo es jodido por si mismo, pero es que lo han hecho fondos que ya estaban escasísimos de capital porque las inversiones en IA con la promesa inminente* de que iban a repartise la masa salarial con los dueños de las empresas están enganchadísimos en el proceso.
Luego han empaquetado esos créditos y han colocado a los inversores esos paquetes. Luego la banca tradicional ha montado CDS sobre la fallida de esos paquetes. Todo esto se acelerará con el precio disparado del petróleo.
Algo que va a hacer la siguiente petada peor es que el shadowbanking ha encontrado una nueva forma de repetir lo de las subprimes, pero peor: ventas de coches. Como para vivir en USA necesitas un coche antes que una casa, se han dedicado a dar créditos usureros para que la gente se pille 4 ruedas.
no, el momento de petar la burbuja fue hace dos años. Ahora empeora la situación cada vez más cuanto más se arrastra.
Did I just argue with a joke? Part of a Bluesky educational series
Lo de que The Onion compre InfoWars para convertirlo en una parodia de sí mismo y ponga a Tim Heidecker (de Tim and Eric, Adult Swim) como director creativo es algo loquísimo.
Es como si en España El Mundo Today comprara OKdiario y pusiera a Joaquín Reyes de director.
Netanyahu claimed last week that Magyar invited him to Hungary.
Today Magyar said that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary:
“I made it clear to the Israeli PM — we will not back down... If a state is an ICC member and a person who is wanted enters that territory, they must be detained”
We've been waiting for this project for over a year.

this is an utterly bizarre thing for *any* company to put out, much less a defense company
A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.
The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.
Get excited.

Exclusive: Microsoft To Shift GitHub Copilot Users To Token-Based Billing, Reduce Rate Limits Edward Zitron Apr 20, 2026 4 min read Executive Summary: Internal documents reveal that Microsoft plans to temporarily suspend individual account signups to Github Copilot, as it transitions from requests (single interactions with Copilot) towards token-based billing. The documents reveal that the weekly cost of running Github Copilot has doubled since the start of the year. Microsoft also intends to reduce the rate limits on its individual and business accounts, and to remove access to certain models for those with the cheapest subscriptions.
Exclusive: Microsoft is reducing rate limits on GitHub Copilot, removing Opus from $10-a-month subscriptions, and plans to move users to token/API-based billing some time later in 2026 in a sign that it's looking for way to cut costs for its AI services.

There are exceptions, but many of the "conservatives" who a decade or two ago wanted universities to teach more Western Civ both (a) had no idea what universities are actually teaching, and (b) had no idea about the content they purportedly wanted to be taught more.
Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.
We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

If I were Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Casey Putsch and I was crying about being defamed as a Nazi, I simply would have said one negative thing about Adolf Hitler besides his painting skills.
