X Once Again Marks the Spot
If you returned from exile on a desert island and took a look at X today for first time in a year, you might reasonably guess that Elon Musk got bored and sold it while you were away.

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

Health insurance premiums are hammering workers and their employers. It all comes back to the high, inscrutable prices that hospitals, pharma companies, and other entities charge — and that health insurers willingly pay. www.statnews.com/2026/10/05/h...

Hospital and pharmaceutical prices are smothering America’s businesses
Workers and employers are drowning in their health insurance premiums. The reason for that deluge: the health care industry’s high and inscrutable prices.

for the new york times magazine, I wrote about why everything is "gambling" now (the short answer: actually everything is the statistical style now, and gambling is just how most of us understand that)

It’s not just DraftKings and Polymarket — the logic of gambling undergirds everything coming out of Silicon Valley.

Opening paragraph of an NBC News story: Tesla's new Cybercab may need a "push" from first responders if it stalls on the road because the vehicle has no steering wheel or pedals that would let an officer drive it out of the way, according to a safety plan filed with Texas officials.

Codex + Sol is much better at instruction following and seem to be actually intelligent. Claude Code + Opus has gotten dumber in recent releases where it jumps to the wrong conclusions, makes silly mistakes when you ask it to perform tasks and is also quite argumentative.

I have no dog in the race in the Browns' QB battle. I'm not a fan of either, and I think Cleveland will draft a rookie QB in 2027. But that Deshaun Watson post-game presser could (should?) be the nail in the coffin for him. No need to play the guy crying victim who won't be under contract next year.
