Dedollarization accelerates. I'm keeping that prediction for 2026 from a late 2024 thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42405149

I'm not through the article but reached that point - I believe the author may be alluding to ICE and fear of persecution rather than changes to H1B or other visas. I may be incorrect but that was my impression in part because no one, i

Point (2) seems wrong intuitively. "Chopping" away UBI would be much more difficult _because_ it is not associated to a specific constituency. Not only would there be more people on the streets protesting against real or perceived

My go-to example for this is Turing. The genius of our field, and apparently duped into credulity about telepathy (probably based on faulty/fraudulent results by people at then-respected institutions)

Yes, but even if we all agree the problem with education at scale remains - there is a very finite and limited amount of 'attention' from craftsmen/masters to distribute, which limits the amount of apprentices. The alternativ

I think this paragraph needs to be considered at top priority, though: "It remains unclear how far this trend will hold as we keep scaling up models. It is also unclear if the same dynamics we observed here will hold for more complex b

PIX is free for the users and imposes a very, very small fee (much smaller than any other non-cash payments) for banks etc. (and cash is not usable for large amounts)

Disregarding the law (I'm ignorant) - why should PIX be "auditable"? Almost everyone (very close to literally everyone) uses PIX and we have zero reported cases of mishap, errors or bad faith attacks...? I quite frankly don

Yes, that read weird to me, too, but it's because the 'lowering prices' are a snapshot, or recent trend (evidenced by the source being an index for April 2025 [1]) The 'sharpest rises' are from a long-term trend of
