When Mike Allen and I are curious about the "real economy ," we talk to sources at big-box stores for a read on real-time sales trends, or friends at super-regional banks to gauge the mood and money movement. - To us, that's the real world and real data, imperfect but less imperfect than dated Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys built for a different time and economy. Why it matters: Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will get scrutinized like hell for rate changes, his communication style, his vow of a "new chapter" at the Fed, and his relationship with President Trump. - We think the most interesting thing to watch long-term is the seemingly boring data task force he appointed last month to improve the "quality and timeliness of real economic…
The simplest AI playbook we know doesn't involve a single model. It's three questions, asked by YOU to YOU.

This is how you unlock next-level prompting and results. - The basics take 10 minutes. The payoff compounds forever. A quick primer on AI memory: Think of it as two layers. - Inside a…
