@Bert_VdA@ianbremmer You're funny, this is a depot supplying domestically. Not to mention China has 60mb in floating storage and over 1bb in SPR and commercial reserve to last them well over 6 months even if all oil from middle east is cut off, they've been preparing for this scenario for 20 years.
There's another layer to this. The article mentions Warsh's interest in the Fed balance sheet shifting more to bills. What that would mean is the private market would have to absorb duration from the Fed which is inarguably bearish liquidity, and would be anathema to yield curve control. The two ideas cannot feasibly coexist unless there is a new ruleset put in place that forces pensions and savings institutions to hold wayyy more bonds than they do today, AND be forced to buy and hold them at yields significantly below what the free market demands as compensation for inflation. The Fed cannot implement control across the yield curve without EITHER absorbing duration in a price insensitive way themselves, or forcing savers to absorb duration in a price insensitive way. It has to go somewhere. If Warsh wants the Fed balance sheet to shift to bills, the only way to enforce YCC is by fucking the savers. Not sure the implications of this are being fully processed by the chatter on this topic.
I'm sick and tired of the people who don't understand why I spent $20,000 on this set up, and plan on spending another $100,000 by the end of the year
IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT LOCAL MODELS AREN'T AS GOOD AS OPUS 4.6
That is not the point. The point is me being able to run a swarm of local AI agents powered by local AI models unlocks a world you can't imagine
A world never discovered by humanity before
Right now, as you read this post, I have multiple local AI models reading thousands of posts on X and Reddit
Hunting for challenges to solve
Those local AI models are feeding hundreds of challenges a day to a manager model
The manager model (Henry) decides what the company (Alex Finn Global Enterprises) will build.
The company is constantly working. Constantly researching. Constantly building. Constantly shipping
If I did this with local models I'd be spending $20,000 a month on API calls.
With my set up, it's free. I have an army on my desk. Never resting. Never eating. Never complaining. Always conquering.
Here is your problem: it's not that you don't understand this. You don't want to understand this. You don't want to think this is possible. Your brain doesn't want to believe this is the world we now live in.
It is. And the faster you can accept this and get on board, the faster you can enter the new society.
Otherwise, you will forever be doomed to the permanent underclass.
Make your choice.
@jam_croissant@Chosin76@swb427@OAlexanderDK This should be more clear, guy in gray jacket removed victim's gun from his holster, the shooter clearly saw that. The victim's hand was nowhere near his waistband when the shots were fired

@sjkubel@JamesWynne11@ExxAlerts The individual was identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen.

@pourteaux@toxxygen@MFA_China Someone already tagged Grok to remind you. But just to be clear, Taiwan (Republic of China) is not an independent country, its constitution recognizes mainland China as part of its territory, just like PRC (the China you know) claims right to both regions. They're in a civil war.
@RodDMartin Great except China already unveiled the same type of counter drone swarm system last year, and their Hurricane-3000 is already being sold to the middle east after last year's airshow.
