A global sell-off in government bonds intensified on Tuesday,
pushing up borrowing costs in some of the world’s largest economies to their highest in decades.
The rise in bond yields squeezes government budgets and raises interest rates on a wide range of debt,
including mortgages and business loans.
The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes,
perhaps the world’s most influential interest rate,
reached its highest since January 2025,
and the 30-year y…

Bond Sell-Off Threatens to Squeeze Borrowers Around the World
Government bond yields are hitting multi-decade highs, reflecting anxiety about debt levels, deficits and inflation. The effects will extend to mortgages, business loans and other types of credit.

Trying to squeeze the desktop up to 5800 (baby steps), with double the RAM to 128 GB.
And yes, I'm listening to Monifah's Touch It in the background. I blame my musical choice on DDR5 timings and the AMD chipset limitations.

In an expanded class action lawsuit, a group of Claude subscribers says Anthropic deceptively advertised the limits of its Max subscription tier (Hayden Field/The Verge)

AI power users claim Anthropic duped them with subscriptions, and they’re taking it to court
The AI money squeeze continues: Some subscribers of Anthropic’s Max plan say they didn’t get what they thought they were paying for in an expanded class action lawsuit.

A company like OpenAI has to fund the production of new models from the inference margins on existing models (at least partially).
That’s why the margins on inference are so high:
the AI labs are trying to squeeze out every dollar so they can stay alive in the training arms race.
However, inference only ha…

AI inference is obviously profitable

Is this app that deep so that you have to streamline the app to keep the churn low?
I mean, I guess I can see that, especially when you are starting to squeeze more from the VIP users to the point that they may get annoyed. But then, you already have OAuth via Google and Apple, so the bar is pretty low, and keeping a password field shouldn't affect much, unless research said otherwise.

While watching the #eclipse I was mostly thinking "ooh, pretty" but I did manage to squeeze a slightly more profound thought out (based upon that Iain M Banks snippet that was doing the Fedi rounds yesterday).
