The traditional homeownership rate in the US is 65%, but a new measure called HPOP shows it's actually 53% when considering all adults, not just those living in owner-occupied homes. The HPOP provides a more nuanced view of homeownership, accounting for co-residents and those living in group quarters, and is useful for policy considerations and research.

Who's afraid of Chinese models?

The author argues that the reaction to Chinese open weight models is overblown, as they are not necessarily cheaper to serve on a marginal cost basis, but rather are benefiting from a lack of compute and a price umbrella. The author suggests that the US should pass a law to make distillation of models fair use and to loosen restrictions on using frontier labs' models for cybersecurity, to ...

Python 3.15's Ultra-Low Overhead Interpreter Profiling Mode – Ken Jin's Blog
