The main difference is SS bonds are bought at market rates. CPF bonds are not.

I think whether houses should be sold on a 99 year lease vs property is a large and separate question. The vast misunderstanding of it still remains - the idea that a house is owned, not rented. Selective properties might be bought back. Bu

Yes. Bluntly put, the government maximizes residence of high net worth individuals, and a 37% forced purchase of low interest bonds would be outrageous to them.

I think they all output that bold lettering, point by point style output. I strongly suspect it's part of a synthetic data pipeline all these AI companies have, and it improves performance. Claude seems to be the least of them, but it

I'll be blunt and say most Singaporeans have a very poor idea of how these policies work. Another major one - virtually all Singaporeans believe they own their houses, and it is a point of pride and financial security. Most houses are

Singapore's economic policies are complicated and often misdirecting. I'll break down the misconceptions. The primary purpose of CPF is not a pension scheme. It is structured as a massive forced bond purchase scheme by citizens.

This will be an unfair question given the limitations of a browser sandboxed compiled to wasm, but do you have benchmarks comparing this to node hosted on the same machine?

A disclaimer should be added about the heavy startup accounting used. Standard accounting revenue uses the past year revenue. Recurring revenue, used aggressively by startups, is projected future year revenue based on loosely defined contra

I think it borders on parody that this hyper capitalist, hype driven mindset (originally found in tech) has not only infected a lot of "art", but they are boasting about it. A more accurate title is how to make a living selling a

Would be interesting to see how performant it is (or how easily you can write performant code).

There are three closely related reasons why spaced repetition is much less useful in practice then in theory. 1. It doesn't train real task performance. There is a spectrum of problems that people solve. On one end it is the recall of

It's not even stealing. They paid OpenAI for the tokens. It violates the OpenAI TOS, which specifically forbids using it's outputs for training competing models (which is very ironic)

The other big missing part here is the enormous incentives (and punishments if you don't) to publish in the big three AI conferences. And because quantity is being rewarded far more than quantity, the meta is to do really shoddy and un

Could someone explain to me the difference? They both get turned to tensors of floats.

This assumption is a pretty Western view, in that you assume that SV/USA still has technological primacy. I believe this to be generally true, but leadership has no incentive or reason it should. And if I'm being frank, there ma

I predict many areas will eventually become like old mining/factory towns. Middle class jobs are being offshored at an astounding rate. Just doing some math - if a tech company lays off 7% of its employees for six years and sends the j

I really want to destroy this blatant lying by tech CEOs that these are layoffs because of AI, tax laws or interest rates. Most tech companies have headcounts at their peak or slightly below. Whenever these amounts are fired, often near e

That probably has more to do with the absolute tsunami of CS graduates India produces.

We're watching the real time collapse and offshoring of American software base. Fun experiment you can do: go to a tech company and see openings by location. IBM India openings: 2816 USA openings: 312 https://www.ibm.com&#x2

Wouldn't your returns be destroyed by commission fees? Or do you use a payment of order flow one.

Yes, and Google has laid off ~12000+ (including some churn). Googles current head count is only ~7k below peak. The new office building alone will hold 5k, not to mention other hiring in other indian offices.

India has a (very) low base effect so it's absolute GDP growth is high. But it is growing much slower than China at the same point. Currently India is growing at about 6-7%, at the same GDP per capita China was growing at ~12%. If grow

But specifically to India? There are many other countries with low income and robust education for CS and reasonable English skill. Eastern Europe for example.
