TRUMP FLOATS 50-YEAR MORTGAGES TO HELP YOUNG HOMEBUYERS Trump compared the idea to FDR’s creation of the 30-year mortgage, which helped millions of Americans afford homes during the Great Depression. A 50-year term could cut monthly payments and open the housing market to a new generation locked out by high prices and interest rates. No formal policy has been announced yet, but the concept is already sparking debate.

More info on some of the AI projects China is experimenting on. Tencent + Tsinghua just dropped a paper called Continuous Autoregressive Language Models (CALM) and it basically kills the “next-token” paradigm every LLM is built on. Instead of predicting one token at a time, CALM predicts continuous vectors that represent multiple tokens at once. Meaning: the model doesn’t think “word by word”… it thinks in ideas per step. Here’s why that’s insane → 4× fewer prediction steps (each vector = ~4 tokens) → 44% less training compute → No discrete vocabulary pure continuous reasoning → New metric (BrierLM) replaces perplexity entirely They even built a new energy-based transformer that learns without softmax no token sampling, no vocab ceiling. It’s like going from speaking Morse code… to streaming full thoughts. If this scales, every LLM today is obsolete. Report taken from Robert Yousseff, link to paper

Continuous Autoregressive Language Models

The efficiency of large language models (LLMs) is fundamentally limited by their sequential, token-by-token generation process. We argue that overc...

He's right

This is by design, Over 140,000 US Veterans have died by suicide since 2001. Thats more than a dozen a day.

The Israelis may be slowly understanding what the definition of fascism and authoritarianism is. They are protesting not because they are killing the billions of poor people around the world but because they realize that they themselves have lost their own freedoms. They arent immune to the imperialist factors which push normal people to fight and lose property for the rich. Hundreds of thousands of Jews are in the streets to protest the state of Israel and the military's oppression of the Jews. Israeli police arrested yeshiva students whose only crime was not joining the army.

Some people just refuse to understand.
