And why are they famished? Could it be because of US sanctions and embargoes?

What about Trump wanting to accelerate global warming by taking all the oil? EDIT: Instead of just downvoting, tell me how I'm wrong.

As Trump said, Venezuela was not pumping it's oil out of the ground at a high rate. Venezuela has the largest known oil reserves. Trump is risking organized human life by helping accelerate global warming and ecological collapse. This

Are you a religious person? Because you are talking about progress like it has nothing to do with powerful people making decisions for everyone. You make it sound spiritual and outside human decision-making.

Just for comparison, China is spending $20-$30 billion a year on nuclear with 29 power plants under construction (half of world total under construction). While this $80 billion will fund about 5?

You do realize that, um, software need hardware. And also security upgrades often require software engineers. And uh, software maintenance is what engineers actually do most of the time.

The stats are abysmal. What's the MDD compared to S&P 500. What is the Sortino? What are the confidence intervals for all the stats? Number of trades? So many questions....

Don't have the AI do the data parsing. Have the AI write a parser and have the parser do the parsing. Think about how a person would parse vasts amounts of data. They write a parser to do it. Devil is of course in the details.

Great question! Don't use AI to process the data, especially when a computer can do the work :-). AI is good at taking unstructured data and structuring it. Computers are great at computing. Here is an example of Google's AI faili

This is really cool! I always believed one valuable use case for AI is to take unstructured data and structure it. I am building ThetaEdge ( https://thetaedge.ai ) which is in Beta now. We built a similar feature but specific to i

Seems to correlate with the increase and decline of lead poisoning. I guess the plus side of lead poisoning was an interesting world. We need more deviants than ever now, given the authoritarian push we are seeing. Too many obey.

SLS took 11 years to first flight and cost $29 billion. First flight was perfect and went around the moon. Starship is estimated to have cost about $10B so far and has had 11 test flights and still hasn't achieved orbit. SLS can reach

Yeah, I don't think the public understands how far behind they are. SpaceX was supposed to have moon missions in 2023-2024 time frame. NASA has said that Starship's timeline is "significantly challenged" and expects the

First of all, half of Americans didn't vote for Trump, at best a fourth. Look up voter turnout and of those that voted. And yes, not voting is legitimate when you believe both parties don't represent you. This idea that half of Am

Crossing the border illegally is a misdemeanor. While what Trump did is a felony. Do you see masked agents kidnapping Trump without due process in the middle of the night?

You do realize crossing the border illegally is a misdemeanor right? Do you see how masked agents violently taking people without due process does not align with the severity of the offense?

The people who need to watch this are precisely the ones on HN, because we have outsized money and power. Keep in mind it was the tech elite that helped elect Trump. Some of them are here and will see this. Lets see how long until this post
