Genuinely bizarre how most of the tech billionaires are various shades of cartoonishly evil, and then there’s this guy who’s ultra woke. Speaks really well of him I guess, but bizarre that he turned out so different from zuck and Saverin, to say nothing of Thiel.
I used to think this, but it is not accounting for the risk of ruin to society from systems capture and corruption. I obviously learned this in a hindsight 2020 way, but nonetheless any good that came so far feels offset by that risk having manifested. The class is malignant and should be maligned.

Any recs for good laptops for a data scientist? I assume the relevant metrics are having an NVIDIA GPU and a 16gb VRAM graphics card for AI models, and a good display for visualization.

Assuming non diminishing returns to scale, it’s pretty important for countries to try and specialize if possible in production of goods with elastic and easily accesible inputs. Makes it so you can just grow via increasing the amount of inputs rather than having to rely on innovation

Kind of strange that out of the entrepeneurial billionaires Elon is simultaneously the most evil, yet also the one who founded the most ethical companies. Like, electric cars, space stuff, digital payments… pretty much all entirely pro-social businesses, without negative externalities.

It’s genuinely pretty interesting that the most successful firm in finance this century is a worker coop. Doesn’t exactly match the movie stereotypes about finance bros. Bet you could make a good HBO mini series about it.

I “agonize” over my portfolio allocation but tbh just having any equity allocation at all puts you very ahead of many people, especially the olds

I don’t agree, blocking a coup in Brazil was *huge*. Not legislative but that’s limiting the field a bit I think.
Biden is still worse because not stopping Trump is… a monumental catastrophe, but his achievements aside from that are underrated

I respect this view, a lot of people have it, but Obamacare alone is a bigger legislative accomplishment than anything Biden did. By a lot.
Young people simply do not believe you when you tell them insurance companies would drop the terminally sick as a matter of business before Obama.

The Social Network is a great movie, but shows how biopics really aren’t reliable sources. Movie Zuck is simultaenously more pathetic (they made him an incel out of nowhere) and also cooler (Eisenberg plays him as cold and quick witted, irl he breaks out into sweat under pressure)

grok is elon musk correctly noting that chatbots were a new and poorly understood ideological battleground, the same way social media was at its inception, and attempting to seize the field for nazism, as he has also done with twitter

I hate this twerp but he’s ~kinda right about this. AI might be a bubble, agnostic about that, but not a given to me. I could see e.g. Alphabet or Meta making infinity dollars with AI slopified advertising. Or Netflix making it big with AI content. Maybe it won’t happen, but in no way obvious to me

Officially moving to Buenos Aires. Finally, I can move to a real city. Montevideo has me claustrophic. Uruguay is a great place to be a kid, and a great place to die. Everything in between… most boring place alive

If the majority of your income is government bonds, are you a capitalist, or working class according to the marxist framework? Genuine question here, don’t know if loans to the government are classified as part of the means of production

You know how peasant brain is the name for people who believe that everything is a conspiracy, that there’s an intention behind everything that happens? What’s the name for the opposite? Those people who refuse to believe that something could be a conspiracy without ironclad evidence?

Note for non American investors: this is sound enough advice for Americans, but if your home currency is not USD then currency risk is a real issue, especially given how much Trump wants to fuck with the Fed.
basically there is no hedge position against the destruction of the world economic order so you may as well just stand pat until the market tells you where the lifeboat is
Slightly surreal that the stock market basically relies on the playground logic of "nuh-uh, I had an invisible force field!" and this somehow works even after it is pointed out that their Donny Trump action figure might come with Kung-Fu Cheeto Grip, but no force field is included.

Can someone more tuned in to European politics explain why the green party voted against the Mercosur deal??? Why are you allying with the far right?

Are currency hedged ETF’s legitimate financial products? Or are they too expensive? As a non American prospective investor I’m interested, I think US equities will continue to do well but the US dollar will continue to weaken. The simpler option is buying gold as a hedge, but seems less surgical

Even in places where land has not historically been a great investment the way it has been in much of the developed world this still holds. People dump their savings in apartment buildings. Call it investing in “bricks”
It’s generally bad for society if things are built around an assumption that housing prices increase forever, but the emotive caveman brain appeal of building wealth in a thing that you live in is hard to deny. Gotta find an alternative instrument that scratches the same itch.

If asset prices are “efficient” when they reflect the NPV of future cash flows, what would be the equivalent for currencies? I’m having trouble formulating the hypothesis in terms of the correct price/prices of money

Not that strange if you know the culture among central bankers. They lionize Paul Volker for similar behavior.

Not gonna do it because it’s evil but pretty convinced that investing in US defense stocks makes financial sense. R’s are fascist slavering for enemies, they want war. Of course the US is so powerful that (invasion of Mexico excepted) they might be able to pull off a Crimea, which is the risk

Free will isn’t real, but emotions like hate are still necessary for rhe righteous to have, in that they act as fuel for righteous conflict and struggle.
The same applies to anger btw, another much maligned emotion

it's good to base your politics on compassion for the oppressed but it's also ok to have a little hate in your heart, as a treat.
