What's new

A site-wide digest of what landed in the vault. Newest first; pick a day to read that entry.

What’s new — 2026-09-14

Covers Fri 11 Sep afternoon through Mon morning (after the 11 Sep digest). Quiet weekend on research PRs; encyclopedia kept minting. Research output, not advice. Stock-market detail: vault/projects/stock-market/dispatch/2026-09-14.md.

Top of mind

By context

Artificial intelligence

  • Fri: Anthropic TI ingest (#227) — new concepts above; attach-only on lab entities / gating neighbors.
  • Mon dispatch attached SemiAnalysis 4-hi HBM mix and Nvidia OBS backstop ($184B→$530B color) onto existing stock-market spines with AI tags — zero-novelty for the AI thread lens.

Stock market

  • Mon dispatch: CPI in, FOMC tomorrow, Siri beta ≠ toll; FERC/PJM and WuXi Sep 18 still open; marks are 2026-09-11 closes → vault/projects/stock-market/dispatch/2026-09-14.md
  • People minted on the dispatch path: robert-friedland, jens-nordvig.

Encyclopedia

  • 11 Sep nightly (#228): refreshed 5 — treasury take print, AI power BTM orders, freight rates-vs-volumes, oil/CPG barbell, frontier-release-gating (TI distillation attach).
  • 12 Sep (#229): minted el-nino-2026.
  • 14 Sep (#230): minted eval-sandbox-incidents.

Leftovers (once)

  • Western CDMO pricing power vs −15% mAb fill-finish — human call; docket gate Sep 18; no silent downgrade. biosecure-cdmo-scarcity-to-western-cdmo-pricing-power
  • CUDA Step 2 still unmerged AgentX vs Jalapeño InferenceX — held, not adjudicated.
  • energy-oil cluster label still wrong live names — hygiene.
  • Pending multi-context podcast pool (named again on Fri ingest) still skipped under “this source only.”
