Was happy to hear you call this out on your show, I am curious to understand the motivational mechanics, can you expand re: has to do w/ reinvestment?
The counter argument @robin_j_brooks has been making is tariffs will force China to devalue (then the rest of EMs with it), and the dollar will do well in comparison.

Using a narrower definition of public debt, looking at financial assets and recognizing that domestic and external debts differ would lead to a very different recommendation for China -- namely that China use the central gov's fiscal space!

Meta’s LLM for software testing work is super exciting.
This paper describes Meta’s TestGen-LLM tool, which uses LLMs to automatically improve existing human-written tests. TestGen-LLM verifies that its generated test classes successfully clear a set of filters that assure measurable improvement over the original test suite, thereby eliminating problems due to LLM hallucination. We describe the deployment of TestGen-LLM at Meta test-a-thons for the Instagram and Facebook platforms. In an evaluation on Reels and Stories products for Instagram, 75% of TestGen-LLM’s test cases built correctly, 57% passed reliably, and 25% increased coverage. During Meta’s Instagram and Facebook test-a-thons, it improved 11.5% of all classes to which it was applied, with 73% of its recommendations being accepted for production deployment by Meta software engineers. We believe this is the first report on industrial scale deployment of LLM-generated code backed by such assurances of code improvement.

I’ve always respected @Trevornoah so much but this closing speech from the White House correspondents’ dinner is particularly spectacular.

The latest data on happiness from the General Social Survey is truly something else. Nothing remotely like it in the past five decades of polling. thewhyaxis.substack.com/p/ne…

1/10: One of the things I am proudest of was how @i2pi and I handled the Simple sale to BBVA. Out of the $117M sticker price, $14.6M in cash was paid out to 100 employees excluding founders.
