Spend less than you make. It wouldn’t hurt to say that three times. Don’t get caught up trying to keep up with the joneses. Nobody who matters gives a shit what kind of car you drive. If your company matches your 401k contribution, max that

The us president held a fundraiser for petroleum execs late in 2024. He promised to kill as many renewable energy projects as possible. They donated a billion dollars to his campaign. And he followed through.

It’s not so much socialist as a post scarcity, science centric, egalitarian meritocracy. To some people those words mean the same thing but to most they do not.

How many people in the US still think the US is an ally to our allies? (In the last year Our president has systematically and repeatedly alienated every country I’d think of as an ally)

The leader of China literally publicly told his military to have “all options for reunification of Taiwan ready by 2027” What options do you suppose the military might be working on? Training to surround, and blockade? (Check) Information w

Apple has made some good progress on memory sharing over thunderbolt. If they could get that ironed out you maybe could run a good LLM on a cluster of Mac minis. Again you cannot today but people are working on it. One guy might have gotten

How do you figure? Demand for electronics skyrocketed when everyone working from home bought new laptops webcams, tablets. There was a fire on a TSMC manufacturing line that caused a shortage early on but capacity recovered, demand stayed s

Sneak preview of the TSMC shortage that will sweep the world in 2027 when China takes Taiwan and the TSMC scuttles their chip fabs on the island. I don’t know the hedge to position against this but I’m pretty sure China will make good on it

I hate clickbait headlines. You might want to know why but to get there you’ll wade through 10,000 words and maybe you’ll get what’s promised, but probably not. Because science doesn’t make such firm claims a) ever b) certainly not after th

Car manufacturing grinds to a halt. Remember what happened to auto prices in 2022? 10x that. New appliances cannot be manufactured. What dos the absolute absence of new durable goods do to the economy? There’s no new iPhone for five years.
