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 — 2026-09-17

Covers Wed 16 Sep afternoon through Thu morning (after the 16 Sep digest). Research output, not advice. Stock-market detail: vault/projects/stock-market/dispatch/2026-09-17.md.

Top of mind

By context

Stock market

  • Thu dispatch: hike printed; Barrie Macro Voices — ~4B tokens / ~$1,300 then mix-shift (second token-budgeting instance, do not re-date NOW); Jensen Terafab color is not an 18A wafer start → vault/projects/stock-market/dispatch/2026-09-17.md

Encyclopedia

  • 17 Sep nightly (#240): refreshed oil-after-hormuz and iran-war-2026 from the Columbia brief. Minted 0.

Artificial intelligence

  • No new AI-thread clip since Tue Gemini 3.8 Live (#237). Native X still blocked on the monthly spend-cap; 9am idle pull skipped after health-check.

Latest AI

  • Still quiet on the AI thread — last grain remains Fri Anthropic TI (#227) plus Tue Gemini Live (#237).
  • Encyclopedia overnight was oil/Iran politics, not AI articles.

Leftovers (once)

  • Western CDMO pricing power vs −15% mAb fill-finish — human call; docket gate Sep 18 (tomorrow). biosecure-cdmo-scarcity-to-western-cdmo-pricing-power
  • CUDA Step 2 still unmerged AgentX vs Jalapeño InferenceX — held.
  • energy-oil cluster label still wrong live names — hygiene.
  • Pending multi-context podcast pool still skipped under “this source only.”
  • user-X monthly spend-cap 403 still blocks Alfred’s idle X pulls / paused 10am ingest (credits ~$133 unused).
