@curiousityisbae @Dev_JesseMaduka He is farming for replies. This is how this app is these days. You post something stupid so that people respond. I don’t like this type of engagement. I prefer sincere discussions over trying to grow your X profile

[Lobga Julius @LobgaJ]

@Dev_JesseMaduka @curiousityisbae Either you didn’t read what he said or you don’t understand English.
His comparison is clear, the main interest is if the objective is attained and not who did what

Cameroonians and some people in the world don’t really understand these economic reports, they fail to understand that even the @US has no problem having $40Trillion debt. I am currently working on a paper with @beribf to show why GDP doesn’t paint the entire economic picture

[MMI News @MimiMefoInfo]

Cameroon’s Minister of Finance, Louis Paul Motaze, has released a reassuring statement on the settlement of the State’s outstanding domestic debt. Since the launch of the repayment process in January 2024, a total of 463.3 billion CFA francs has been paid to government creditors for debts accumulated between 2000 and 2019. Of this amount, 232.9 billion CFA francs were settled last year, while 230.4 billion CFA francs are earmarked for this year. The repayments cover salary arrears, tax and customs claims, commercial debts, academic obligations, and rental liabilities. Motaze noted that nearly 78% of the budget allocated for 2025 has already been disbursed, representing 86.2 billion CFA francs. The announcement reflects a commitment to restoring confidence among creditors, many of whom have waited years to receive payment.

However, the broader financial picture tells a more nuanced story. As of March 31, 2026, Cameroon’s total public debt stood at 15.416 trillion CFA francs, or roughly $27.5 billion, representing a 6% increase compared to the previous year. The debt-to-GDP ratio currently stands at 44.3%, remaining below both the 70% ceiling set by CEMAC and the 50% threshold outlined in the country’s debt strategy. Officially, the situation remains manageable.

Yet Cameroon must mobilize approximately 2.1 trillion CFA francs over the next two years to meet its debt-servicing obligations, placing significant pressure on public finances. If the current pace of borrowing continues, the country could exceed the 50% debt-to-GDP threshold before 2028.

Motaze’s statement is therefore a partially positive development: the government is paying off old debts, but it continues to accumulate new ones at a sustained pace. For Cameroonians, the equation remains unresolved.

@MimiMefoInfo Most countries are comfortable with debt, the US debt-to-GDP ratio is about 100% if not more. Other countries have it around 90% but the good thing is that the GDP is also very high so they don’t feel troubled. It’s good that we cap ours at 50% for certain economic constraints

[Lobga Julius @LobgaJ]

@MimiMefoInfo This sounds plausible but, increasing the GDP (through job creation and industrialization) will reduce the debt-to-GDP ratio. Expanding current industries and creating new ones would significantly contribute to the GDP rather than struggling to pay off the debt

@D_j_i_b_r_i_l @africatechie @AnniePayep Devices depreciate over time
a brand new iPhone 11 in Cameroon right now does not worth the same amount which the manufacturer gave

Her question is, what metric would they use to get its current value?

[Lobga Julius @LobgaJ]

@elonmusk @eastdakota Did you just say Assembly @elonmusk

I guess you and your team would be moving to 1s and 0s soon!!

😄😄😄

Well this is what we call Rocket Science🚀
That’ll be fantastic, let me round off with my C++ implementations first

[Lobga Julius @LobgaJ]

Elon @elonmusk will always do crazy things, I like this because he is the only one who holds the bull by the horns, taking on AI using C will certainly break the traditional rules in the game.

Everyone uses (or have no choice) Python because of the extensive libraries

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

SpaceX has almost finished writing V1.0 of an in-house AI training stack in C that exact-maps to 220k GB300s with 800G NICs, making heavy use of pipeline parallelism and getting as close to bare metal as possible.

The potential speed improvement vs JAX for large training runs is over an order of magnitude.

[Lobga Julius @LobgaJ]

@elonmusk I will be interested in reading the papers and seeing what you guys do

Maybe python @python_spaces may eventually be kicked out of @AI in 2030, numpy and pandas and even Tensorflow are all written with C++

I’m so excited for this development

[Lobga Julius @LobgaJ]

@elonmusk Interesting

I’ve always been interested in doing the same on C++, well not industrial scale training yet

This may be a great step in introducing other languages as competitors to Python in AI

[Lobga Julius @LobgaJ]

@r0ktech What actually happens in the code 🥲😅

[Lobga Julius @LobgaJ]

@OlufunmiAkadiri @elonmusk @iScienceLuvr Nigerians certainly had to join the thread 😂😂

[Lobga Julius @LobgaJ]

@KinkohNfon @MimiMefoInfo Apparently, that is what they have been doing

[Lobga Julius @LobgaJ]

@systemdesignone if this question is not answered we would end up arguing the whole day Google uses Gemini to write code for their mail services does the Gmail become a Vibe coded application? Or Meta using Llama to write code for WhatsApp, is it a vibe coded application?

[Lobga Julius @LobgaJ]

@systemdesignone The question we are rather not answering is, what is a vibe coded application? Is it one which everything is done by AI?, 75% by AI, 50% by AI, 25% by AI or just using AI as a research ground for minimal adjustments to code?

[Lobga Julius @LobgaJ]

Interesting 😃

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

SpaceX is actively hiring world-class engineers/physicists for SpaceXAI, even if you have zero prior experience in AI. Smart humans figure it out fast.

@RealisingTruth @Cipher_twt 🤣🤣
Typical of Windows 😂

[Lobga Julius @LobgaJ]

Interesting take here

[Gamingtronium @Gamingtronium]

If GPUs generate enough heat to boil water

So why aren't we using that steam to power them back?
