Youth unemployment was over 9% in 2025 [0]. 30% seems off

[0] https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SLUEM1524ZSUSA

30% sounds correct to me. None of my friend have gotten any jobs after they were laid off. Some of them are doing some part time job like uber or doordash, and those aren't counted.

Same in China, PHD people are working as delivery driver....

"disconnected" -- aka no longer in school and gave up on finding a job -- is 16%. Added to the 9% unemployed gives 25%. Add in the underemployed who have a job, but are only given a few hours per week and that number jumps way higher.

Is K3 marked as a proprietary model because its weights have not been released yet? Were there indications from Moonshot that K3 would or would not be open weights?

The blog post says it's going to be open, but I don't think the weights have been released yet:

> Kimi K3 is the first open model to reach 2.8 trillion parameters. It marks the latest step in Kimi's sustained push at the scaling frontier: for nine of the past twelve months, Kimi models have set the upper bound of open-model sizes.

> The full model weights will be released by July 27, 2026.

Still sensible to mark proprietary for now though.

Hank Green's visualization[0] a few weeks ago cite several statistically significant risk increases to CRC incidence (omitting ultra endurance athletes):

- Sugary drinks (≥2/day as teen) - 2x

- Sedentary lifestyle (>2hr TV/day) - 1.7x

- Childhood antibiotics (recurrent) - 1.5x

Have any studies tracked the growth of these behaviors in recent decades, potentially lining up with the increase in early onset CRC?

Interesting but link is dead? Would love to see this.

At current prices, if you do not already have 32GB RAM, it will cost over $300 for DDR5, and over $200 for DDR4...

yep, the pricing is getting ridiculous... on the other hand if you are using that 32gb to make money then its an investment thats worth it imo
