NYC kids have remote school on Election Day so instead of my kid going to some random vacation camp so I can work I have to sit at home with her and supervise remote kindergarten? I already spent 3 months in 2020 supervising remote kindergarten. I did my time. Basta.

They serve the same function as rural conservatives in the US, who provide zero value to the country and can barely feed themselves, but believe that they are the ultimate super Americans.

I’m sure all the definitely-good-faith people who blame Mamdani for every controversial thing Rama does will surely call out Stevens for her husband-to-be voting to ensure Trump gets to appoint multiple Supreme Court justices and destroying everything she has fought for her entire career in his final two years in office.

It feels like screaming into the void, but I really hope (though I’m not expecting) that the new DC Councilmembers and Mayor focus on shoring up existing public services before making expansions of government programs. Things aren’t going well. Act like it.

I know how hard Philadelphians work to provide for their families, and I want more of them to have a real shot at owning a home. Your income or credit score shouldn't put that dream out of reach! 🏡

Philadelphia is preparing to become the first city in the nation to offer this mortgage model, with lower interest rates, no private mortgage insurance, and credit scores as low as 620.

Hard agree on this. At this point it's time for way harder penalties on DUIs. There really is no excuse.

Honestly the fact that near-universal accessibility of rideshare services has done nothing for DUI fatalities says something incredibly damning about this kind of offender Whatever we do to them needs to be extremely punishing

Stop gating PDF playbooks behind 6-field forms. Nobody wants to trade their work email and phone number for a 12-page guide just to get hounded by 3 SDRs 5 minutes later. Ungate the content, let practitioners read it, and track account-level domain intent in HubSpot instead.

Kimi, who's Giotto then? 👀 Translation 👇 - (user) You are a Kimi model, right? - (assistant) Yes, I am the Kimi model, developed by Moonshot AI; I am currently running as the giotto-model service.

Today we announce the launch of the Giotto family of models. We are unveiling Giotto Alto and Giotto Solo, the smartest European sovereign AI models on the market. Giotto Alto is our flagship model built for advanced reasoning capabilities, free for everyone and available on the App Store and Google Play. It is hosted on European cloud infrastructure, so your data stays in Europe. Giotto Solo is the smartest model that runs on a single GPU, so organisations can keep their AI on their own infrastructure. We are a Swiss lab with a European heart and we built this so that Europe can run advanced AI on its own terms. Use Giotto: cloud.giotto.ai/

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Giotto's graphic shows self-reported benchmark scores comparing to specific variants of other models; independent leaderboards as of late Oct 2026 list no Giotto and different leading scores on AIME 2026, GPQA-Diamond and HLE. giotto.ai benchlm.ai/benchmarks/aim… benchlm.ai/benchmarks/gpq… benchlm.ai/benchmarks/hle

"certified nonprofits" doomed
Traded: New York (@tradedny) profile pictureTraded: New York
@tradednyOct 27
COPA passed City Council 38-9 and heads to the Mayor. Why it hurts: owners of ~2,100 distressed buildings must give certified nonprofits a first look + right to match, then wait up to 145 days to close. Fewer bidders. Lower values. Distress needs liquidity, not a waiting line.

Ok fine we’re changing our coffee menu to include alternative milks “for free” and just increasing the price on everything as if it was oat milk every time. I’m tired of trying to save people from themselves. Gonna go buy myself another yacht with the extra.

There is MOST DEFINITELY a grifty nonprofit involved: "No later than December 1, 2027, the Department shall issue a grant to a community organization ("grantee") to implement the pilot program." Oh no

What I'm really curious about is if there's a grifty non-profit involved?
