Killing education please. Dept of education does not run schools. Regarding loans, the best thing he could have done is abolish the program completely as it is the main reason the cost of education has gone up so much. He also made a great

How are gov subsidies taking away money from tens of millions. That is not how the gov budget works. Spacex contracts are by far the lowest cost to get cargo into orbit though. They save the gov money.

Very nice of them to have automatic time conversion to my local time when visiting the page. Something practically no one bothers to do. Alas it is in the middle of the night for us europeans.

I said private companies are another matter. The public ones are all funding it from cash flow not leverage and excessive debt which are the real hallmarks of an unsustainable bubble.

by rapsey 1y ago
There are always companies like that. Does not mean the entire market is in a bubble.

by rapsey 1y ago
If it is a bubble it is not in public markets. Private markets are another matter. In public markets it is an insane investment boom, fueled by the most profitable companies in history.

Then just say so and it is fine. We are a team of c++ experts and we are able to build a high quality program in C++ is a completely valid unassailable reason. Except for the most ardent rust fanatic.

The lasting system bit is very weak. Those old languages are still getting regular releases. Also Rust barely changes from one version to the next, entirely unlike C++! Rust interop to the libraries they list is not an issue. If you are goo

Because they are grasping for reasons not to learn Rust.

The list of reasons is very weak and no point is actually prohibitive against the usage of Rust.

These articles can always be surmised down to "because we wanted to". Rarely is there some real reason.

One is an algorithm, a purely technical solution. The other is the way code is structured in an application.

You are conflating OpenAI, xAI, Anthropic with the entire field of AI. They are spending billions of private money with the goal of actual general AI. Maybe they will reach it, maybe they wont. They are doing a moonshot and pushing the fiel

You can find excuses not to invest at any time. Easiest thing in the world has always been finding an excuse not to invest. Mag7 are some of the most profitable and well run companies in history investing their insane profits. No other coun

Which is why you invest a percentage of your paycheque not wait to time the market.

Politics is a distraction and largely irrelevant to investing. The stock market has so much money going into it that it is in a bull market. Because people have nowhere else to put their money into (real estate is dead atm). You are letting

Timing the market is a fallacy. Time in the market is what builds wealth.

> I am pessimistic in US stocks because they are so concentrated on AI The russel 2000 index just made an all time high. The bull market is diverse and global. Indexes of many countries are also at all time highs.

by rapsey 1y ago
People are quite bearish and the stock market is making all time highs. This is actually a very good sign, because we are far from any euphoria. Always keep in mind the old saying: pesimists get to be right and optimists get to be rich.

That is not at all the case. Biden export controls for nvida chips are still in place. China also has a large domestic market for chips. The rest of the world would gladly buy competitive Chinese chips.

by rapsey 1y ago
The market size for chinese chips is much like EVs. The entire world outside of the US. Like I said, Chinese dominance is inevitable.

Neither the US nor EU have enough of a functioning political system capable of such reforms. China dominance is inevitable baring a complete political overhaul of the west. This would take a civil war.
