Time to think seriously about a weight tax on cars. Will apply similar to EVs and gas/diesel. Bloating kills people and roads.

Imagine a hospital where people bet on whether a patient will die at a certain hour, and this be in a public board in the hallways, visible to families, medical staff, social workers, and everyone watching this happening live while they cope with their dear ones and patients struggling with life.

I can´t get my head around how people bet, cash in, and look at themselves in the mirror and be ok with those dollars in their pockets after betting on a military intervention of this size. Imagine the following scene:

This is just 0,21% of the solution!! Is it scalable? Should be scaled? "All the carbon credits sold last year claimed to offset a combined 84mn tonnes of CO₂ emissions. Compare that with last year’s global CO₂ emissions of more than 40bn tonnes." www.ft.com/content/199d...

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

Si esa demanda es inelástica (por ej industrias que aumentan su contratación en horas laborales diurnas), se contratan menos horas extras, se libera tiempo de esos trabajadores que podría asignarse a la economía de cuidado o a educación y eso no lo estamos estimando tampoco.

Suponga que la demanda laboral es inelástica y se generan estos costos para las pymes. En ese caso se deberían aumentar ingresos y gasto de trabajadores (formales, claro) porque les toca contratar a esta gente (por ej. bares y restaurantes). Ese aumeento en consumo se debería agregar a la ecuación.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Wanted: Zoom feature where people write a short bio that pops up when you hover over their name or square on the grid. Partly, I'm forgetful, but it might also substitute for spending the first 20% of a meeting on introductions, with clumsy handovers between participants.
