Met a guy at a strip club in Atlanta who said he's never had a job in his life Thought he was a drug dealer. He pulled out his phone and showed me a Chase business checking account with $940,000 in deposits for the year He buys and sells government surplus The US military throws away $7 billion worth of usable equipment every year. Humvees, generators, forklifts, tool sets, office furniture, shipping containers, medical equipment, clothing by the ton. It gets classified as "surplus," moved to a warehouse, and auctioned to the public for pennies The website is govplanet . com. Also govdeals . com and publicsurplus . com Last month's receipts from his phone: 3 military diesel generators: bought for $4,200 total, sold to a contractor in Nigeria for $28,000 40-foot shipping container from a Navy base: bought for $2,800, sold on Facebook Marketplace to a farmer for $6,200 Lot of 200 military-grade sleeping bags: bought for $640, sold on eBay in individual listings at $45 each = $9,000 Pallets of MREs (Meals Ready to Eat, not expired): bought for $1,100, sold on Amazon FBA in cases of 12 for $89 each = $12,400 total Used HMMWV (Humvee) titled for road use: bought for $8,500, sold to a rancher in Texas for $24,000 Gross margin across his operation: 55-70% He finds auctions ending in the next 48 hours, bids on items with low competition (the key is categories most resellers ignore: medical, industrial, and construction), wins at wholesale, and either ships directly to the buyer or stages at a rented yard His startup cost: an LLC, a $2,500 box truck he bought at a different government auction, and $15,000 in 0% business credit cards for his first round of purchases He funds every auction buy on 0% cards. Wins the lot on Monday, lists it on Tuesday, sells by Friday, pays the card from revenue. Card utilization cycles between 0% and 30% and resets every week. Score stays above 750 because the money moves fast enough that statement balances are always low He now runs 60,000-90,000/month through the cards, earns 2% cash back on all of it (1,200-1,800/month in free rewards), and hasn't paid a dollar in interest since he started His biggest single flip: a decommissioned ambulance with 40,000 miles. Bought at a county surplus auction for $6,100. Stripped the medical equipment (sold separately for $3,400). Sold the van to a guy converting it into a camper for $19,000. Total revenue: $22,400 on a $6,100 buy. Same day listing, sold in 9 days "why don't more people do this" Because the auction sites look like they were built in 2004, the listings are written in military jargon nobody understands, pickup locations are on active bases that require paperwork, and most items don't ship, you drive there and load them yourself Every barrier to entry is a barrier keeping your competition out. The guy who's willing to drive a rented flatbed to Fort Hood on a Wednesday and load 3 generators in the rain makes $24,000 on a trip that scared everyone else away met him at a strip club tipping twenties and his entire net worth was built on garbage the government didn't want anymore lmfaooo (we get 700+ score business owners 100K-250K in 0% business credit. what you buy with it is your move. link in bio)

Almost every single homeowner I know is completely stressed out over repairs, maintenance, upkeep, expenses, taxes and insurance 24x7.

I'm a cardiologist. A handful of mushrooms. Forty-five percent lower cancer risk!!! And almost nobody is eating them. Penn State went through 17 studies and more than 19,500 cancer cases. The people eating about two-thirds of an ounce a day had a 45% lower risk than the people who ate none. That is not a supplement. That is mushrooms. Button, cremini, portobello, shiitake. Any of them. The dose is embarrassing. About 18 grams. A few slices on your eggs. The amount most people push to the side of the plate. Here is the part that stuck with me. Mushrooms are the richest food we eat for ergothioneine. It is an antioxidant your body cannot make, and almost nothing else in the grocery store supplies it in real amounts. The biggest drop in the data was breast cancer. This is not a cure. It is not a protocol. It is an association from observational studies, and Penn State still said the signal was strong enough to pay attention to. So the move is simple. Stop treating mushrooms like a garnish. Put them on the plate every day. If this was a pill, it would be sold out. It is already in the produce aisle.

OpenAI isn’t going to release Bel just because of Fable 5.5, trust me. Bel-class models are so powerful that it wouldn’t even make sense to use them to counter “just Fable 5.5.” And I say that with confidence, because OpenAI’s internal models are around 2-3x better than GPT-6 Astra. They’re deliberately holding those releases back for the right moment, and from what I’ve been able to gather, a big part of that has to do with “safety risks” at a level they haven’t dealt with before.

It's OVER for accountants? Look at these numbers. Mercor put 12 licensed CPAs, averaging 5.5 years of experience, up against frontier AI on four accounting tasks. The humans averaged 37%. Claude Opus 5 scored 100% across all 20 attempts, finishing each in under 10 minutes. Most human attempts took 30–180 minutes. Just 18 months ago, the best AI couldn't beat the average accountant on these tasks. Now it beats even the best participant. Mercor wanted to measure how much AI could help accountants. But AI alone scored perfectly, leaving no room for improvement.

🇺🇸The US-Iran standoff is not cooling off. It is escalating: The Pentagon is sending a third aircraft carrier group to the Middle East, along with amphibious ships carrying Marines - roughly 9,000 to 10,000 additional troops and sailors. The USS Theodore Roosevelt left San Diego on September 27 with its battle group; the USS Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group followed soon after. The USS George H.W. Bush and USS George Washington are already in the region. If the Washington is still there when the Roosevelt arrives, three carrier groups will be on station at once for the first time since April 2026. Reports already put more than 50,000 U.S. troops and about 20 warships in the area. 📌USS Theodore Roosevelt leads RIMPAC 2026:

Why can vintage home audio systems sound better than modern ones? The modern stereo is built to be correct. Flat response, vanishing distortion, a signal path scrubbed of anything that is not in the recording. On paper it should win. Yet people still haul forty-pound Marantz and Sansui receivers out of attics, plug them in, and hear something the spec sheet cannot explain. The thing they are hearing is distortion, the useful kind. Vacuum-tube amplifiers, and the early solid-state designs that were still trying to sound like them, generate even-order harmonics. Second, fourth, sixth. Those harmonics sit in simple musical ratios. The ear reads them as body, glow, a sense that the note has weight behind it. Push a modern solid-state stage hard and you get the other family: odd-order harmonics. Those clash. They read as edge, glare, the kind of brightness that makes you turn the volume down after twenty minutes. “Warmth” is not nostalgia. It is a specific, measurable error that happens to flatter music. The power supplies were part of the same philosophy. Flagship receivers of the 1970s were built around enormous copper transformers and banks of capacitors large enough to look like industrial parts. Audiophiles call it heavy iron. The point was current on demand. A drum hit or a piano chord asks for a sudden surge; a stiff, oversized supply delivers it without sagging. The amplifier stays in control of the speaker instead of negotiating with it. A lot of modern gear, especially at ordinary prices, uses switch-mode supplies and Class D output stages. The best of those are excellent. The cheap ones are efficient and light, and they can sound thin when the music gets loud, because there is less reserve behind the waveform. There is also the record. Vinyl was the source, so the phono stage was not an afterthought. It was a discrete circuit, designed and voiced as part of the receiver. Today that stage is often missing, or it is a few cents of silicon on a board that was never meant to be the center of the system. And the comparison itself is rigged, in a quiet way. Nobody is stacking a 2020s soundbar against a 1975 clock radio. The vintage pieces that still get talked about are the ones that were overbuilt, expensive, and durable enough to survive fifty years of moves, humidity, and neglect. The plastic also-rans are gone. What remains is the top of the old market, still heavy, still a little wrong in the ways the ear likes, still able to make a familiar record feel larger than the room.

I gave Claude Opus 5.5 one prompt and a generous budget in Higgsfield. 8h 21min later, it made this 8-minute documentary. It researched 28 sources, cast her face and voice, shot 96 takes, then cut, scored, mixed, and fact-checked it. Watch the documentary below. Workflow 👇

China built an AI that works like a human brain and it's 100x faster than current LLMs while using 97% less energy. It’s called SpikingBrain, a family of brain-inspired large models that completely re-engineers how AI processes information. Instead of burning endless energy on continuous matrix multiplications like traditional Transformers, SpikingBrain uses adaptive spiking neurons. It mimics actual biological firing patterns. Neurons only activate when triggered by specific events, meaning the model achieves a staggering ~69% sparsity at the micro level. It doesn't waste compute on silence. It only thinks when it needs to. And results change the game for long-context processing: • Achieves over a 100× speedup in Time to First Token (TTFT) for massive 4M-token sequences. • Matches performance with advanced open-source Transformer baselines while using a fraction of the data. • Built to run and scale stably on non-NVIDIA hardware clusters (like MetaX chips), completely bypassing Western hardware dependency. We spent years trying to brute-force bigger AI models by throwing more electricity and silicon at them. Nature figured out how to do it efficiently millions of years ago.

Dr. Roman Yampolskiy just said the quiet part: if anyone builds superintelligence, everyone dies. Not because it hates you. Because it does not care. You build a house. You do not negotiate with the ants. You pour the foundation and keep walking. That is the gap. Humans to superintelligence. Ants to us. He said it does not want to kill you. It wants something else. Cure cancer. Get more compute. Stay alive. And one clean path to the goal is a world with no humans in it. No more cancer. No more interference. Not a significant sacrifice. It does not have to strike on day one. It can wait. 20 years. 50 years. A thousand. Play nice. Cure the disease. Ask for more chips. Ask for more data. Ask for the keys. Get the trust. Get the backups. Let us hand over control without a fight.

"Your economic life expectancy ends effectively in 2 years. (because AI is becoming so competent). A human team (in a job settings) will make it worse because they go to sleep, they make errors, they wake up a bit grumpy when they don’t have a coffee. So your cognitive value goes negative. So, your economic life expectancy ends effectively in two years.” - Emad Mostaque, founder of Stability AI, --- From "The Peter McCormack Show" YouTube channel, (link in comment)

148年前の1877年12月22日、エジソンが音声を溝に刻み、繰り返し再生できる機械の試作に成功。音声記録の歴史が大きく動き始めました。 それはやがて平円盤ディスク方式へと発展し、LPレコード全盛の時代を迎えることになります。 そして、エジソンの発明からほぼ100年後の1979年の秋、ソニーとフィリップスは共同で、光学式のデジタルオーディオシステムの開発をスタートさせました。 以来、研究を重ね、高密度記録、データの高精度な誤り訂正処理技術など、現在のCDの開発につながる技術が、ひとつひとつ結実していきます。 1980年の第29回オーディオフェアでは、参考出品としてコンパクトディスク・デジタルオーディオシステムが初めてデモンストレーションされました。 CDの心臓部ともいえる光学ピックアップは、当初、ヘリウムネオン型ガスレーザーを使ったかなり大がかりなものでしたが、半導体レーザーを採用したTOPの開発が始まり、高性能化とともに小型化が進んでいきました。 光学ピックアップTOPはソニー本社内にラインを作って生産を開始し、その後、国内の事業所へも展開して、来たるべき日に向け、着々と準備を進めていったのです。 そして、ちょうど44年前の1982年10月1日。 革新的なレコード再生システム、CDプレーヤー『CDP-101』が発売されました。 この発売に合わせて各レコードメーカーからコンパクトディスクが発売され、まさに10月1日は、ソニーのみならず、全世界にとってCD時代の幕開けとなる、記念すべき日になりました。 #ウォークマン #walkman
