I'm about to hire a couple of engineering interns in India. They have had very limited access to AI tools and harnesses and I am going to give them each an account.
The question is which tool should we start with?
Claude Code seemed like the obvious choice until very recently. Codex would usually be my next pick but grok build has been looking like a better pick day by day because its just so fast to iterate with.
What do you guys think?
@EsotericKang@Notanerd589 The XPR guys are weird. They have nothing to go off of. Why would anyone think XPR moons and not XRP?
They haven’t built the infrastructure to plug into the existing system. They have a mobile which is… cool, I guess.
SOMETHING IS BREAKING INSIDE JAPAN'S FINANCIAL SYSTEM
Japan's four largest insurers are sitting on ¥14.5 trillion in bond losses, roughly $91 billion.
In March 2024 the number was under ¥2 trillion.
It has grown every single quarter since.
These are unrealised losses, meaning they only become real if the insurers sell.
The cause is rising Japanese bond yields.
When yields go up, the price of bonds already held goes down, and these firms hold enormous amounts of Japanese government debt.
This is why the BOJ cannot raise rates quickly. Every hike makes this number bigger.
