My AC died while it’s 80F outside. Can’t sleep, can’t focus, can’t function.
I don’t understand how people live without them.
Bought 5 portable units until the main one is fixed.

Rewrote the whole storage engine behind @vaultaire_app mostly by hand 😬 to improve reliability, security and privacy even more.
Time to merge this into main and ship it. Wish me luck!

Never realized how huge Australia really is
Australia stretches almost 4,000 km from east to west. The Moon is about 3,475 km in diameter. This compares width, not surface area.

Muse/Instinct/… confuse virality with longevity. They will burn through early interest and will have incredibly hard time convincing users to give them another chance.
You don’t even have to look to openclaw. Look at Alexa. They had 1/4th of all households. Where are they now.

BREAKING: the UK government publishes official rules on how to use electricity:
1. Ask first if you really need to use electricity
2. Check if a candle can do the job before using electricity
3. Choose the weakest appliance possible so it uses less energy
4. Keep devices on for as short a time as possible to reduce the environmental impact
5. In general, use electricity only when necessary, as a climate-saving measure
BREAKING: the UK government publishes official rules on how to use AI:
1. Ask first if you really need to use AI
2. Check if a spreadsheet can do the job before using AI
3. Choose the worst model possible so it uses less energy
4. Keep prompts short to reduce the environmental impact
5. In general, use AI only when necessary, as a climate-saving measure
With a mindset like this, we should accept the UK back into the European Union

Running every day mostly sucks.
But there are days like today, where every step feels light, no intrusive thoughts, no pains and ailments. Then I could run for hours.
It’s similar to running startups. These highs are what make the lows bearable.

Finally updated my personal website. Have no unique ideas, so this will have to do for now.

Finally done with @WHOOP
The band fell apart. Reached out for a replacement. Was told they don’t replace them past 90 days (been 5 months) and I can buy one.
For a company that pretends the hw is free with a subscription, this is quite brazen. As they wish.

This is how panic starts. Once neighbors start cutting, they don’t stop. It’s like musical chairs. It goes fast.
Denver city is officially in fire sale territory and has been since September 1
More than 1 in 2 homes for sale in the city are undergoing price cuts
The cities cut/markdown rates have grown 20% since August 1 (7% typical markdown today)
There is more inventory for sale today than at any point all year
1 in 5 home sellers are willing to accept less money than they paid for their home
The city of Denver is not looking good
Let's break this down

Real estate was a bad business for last two decades, but at this point it's essentially a disaster. This will wreck so many people that went all in on Airbnbs and residential rentals.
Even places like SD that are at the top of the market are feeling the pressure.
U.S. real estate investment has collapsed by 50% over the last four years.
The reason? It's now more profitable to sit on your couch and buy a 10-year government bond than to buy an investment property.
10-year yields are now 5.1%.
While the single-family cap rate for rentals is 4.8%.
For the first time in nearly two decades, buying real estate for cash flow has a negative opportunity cost v buying government bonds.
And as a result, the number of people buying investment properties has plummeted by 50% over the last four years.
This is having a massive price impact on certain markets. Track Cap Rates for your area at reventure.app/map.

Told a realtor few weeks ago to prepare for a true winter in real estate. She just laughed at me.
Yesterday she texted that the owner agreed to our terms of 40 cents on a dollar.
We got a reprice... Today was a big one-day jump
The average 30-year mortgage rate today: 7.45%
Same day last year: 6.37%
---------------
10-year Treasury yield: 5.21%
Spread today: 224 bps
