Gold is not deflationary from monetary perspective. More gold is mined constantly. Due to its high stock-to-flow ratio, the monetary inflation is very low. From the perspective of CPI (consumer price index), gold would be "deflationary

Wealthy people don't own money, they own assets. And they're usually in debt. Inflationary currency massively benefits wealthy people. Inflation is a transfer of buying power from poor people to rich people. That's the func

Many people don't deny the first-order effects. However, the second-order effects are speculative, and there is and should be more skepticism towards them, especially when someone is suggesting authoritarian policies based on them. Sad

I wonder why they don't see small modular nuclear reactors as a part of the solution. Also, they mention iron-air chemistry for batteries, but don't consider them in the calculations. Their approach seems to be pragmatic; utilizin

I was surprised to learn that Worldcoin is still running. It's a huge scam; it's a pyramid scheme designed to harvest biometric data, and enrich its creators in the process. I thought it was silently buried after the initial backl

I think the problem is that in computer animation skin is allowed to stretch and compress in ways which is unnatural. Real skin is quite inelastic. It wrinkles and slides which creates the appereance of elasticity. Also, when real materials

With AI they can convince everyone that they're the good guys and that it's a good idea to do [insert evil thing here]. Humans are very vulnerable to opinion manipulation and that's the easiest attack spot for AI.

There's lots of additives in processed food, because the food processing machines require them. I guess a lot of food processing innovation is about finding new additives that makes the food sludge go through the machines a bit faster,

Almost all money is a scam. People don't typically realize that 'making money from thin air' is the oldest of all scams. In history books they tell that people used salt, animal furs, shells etc. as money. What's forgott

"Them" is a metaphor for aligned incentives. If there are incentives for something to happen, it will happen. These incentives create a self-organizing conspiracy where the participants don't even need to communicate with eac

Yeah, seems plausible. Tesla should implement a confidence-based system: if it detects an area with high chance of errors (e.g. tunnels), it should put the driver on high alert or disable the system. They probably already have a heatmap of
