Lower rates to reduce inflation, so literally the opposite of what needs to happen. It's all about short-term scheming for upcoming elections.

My partner and I talk about that sometimes, and also how we basically had zero expectations when we were growing up. other than "don't annoy us, go away". kinda treated more like pets that people

I don't disagree necessarily but if you had sat out the dotcom bubble as soon as Greenspan stated his concerns you would have lost several insane growth years. Timing the market is a fools errand; just keep money you need in 5 years or less out. We don't know the future of LLM based AI.

I've been thinking a lot about the actual short story lately. When I was younger it just seemed like a cool read. Now I can't stop noticing the parallels in so many areas.. fossil fuel especially

> Civil rights are hard won, and once lost, even harder to get back
Even harder when citizens flee the country instead of staying and fighting for what they purport to believe in. Not everyone has such a privilege.

Sadly I don't think it's possible, and it's going to come down to partisan "their" experts vs "our" experts for stuff that matters. Post truth era..

I got turned off by the placement of dialogue box and the developer being like "it's the perfect place and cannot be changed, shut up". Got tired of craning my head constantly to play the game

What does it matter? Impeachment is just a badge of honor for GOP at this point.

I believe it, and it's easy to see the shell game going on with NVDA lending money to companies to use their chips, but IMO there's nothing really to do but buy cheap diversified index funds and hold for long term. Maybe up the emergency fund a bit.

I just finished a gnarly drive over mountain passes in the pouring rain, Tom Waits was the only thing on the playlist. Mule Variations, Bone Machine, Alice.. he's had so many absolute banger albums and songs

I kinda get the point; wittingly or no, we get swept up in technological evolution. Story of human history. However this technology is fundamentally flawed (hallucinations, lack of repeatability) & created by massive theft while using insane electricity. LLM AI is a dead end in the field anyway

Watched it on DVD in early 00's except I kept passing out taking whippits and had no idea what was going on for most of it, just that it was very scary. Rewatched a while ago and went down some rabbit holes.. this blew my mind: www.donniedarko.org.uk/philosphy-of...

I'm extremely concerned - even a whiff of "cooking the books" and politicizing financial data is going to be disastrous. Once the world stops trusting the US financial markets (even less trust) it's going to be complete chaos

I feel like it's another "disaster capitalism" play; trigger recession, swoop in with hoarded cash & buy distressed assets cheap, let the "grownups" come in and clean up the mess with necessary but unpopular moves. Then blame the mess-cleaners.
