@mattyglesias Gaming seems to be a new way of socializing for some people. Also, could it be possible that some people rate gaming as tremendously more meaningful than just shopping ? It could result in people doing in appearence less meaningful things, in reality, it is not true

In which a comedian accurately describes the deindustrialization of the U.S. via its global dollar structure better than most macro analysts:

@levelsio @mrhumet Sorry but you need to compare on a risk-adjusted basis. Throught the point of view of an institutionnal investor, the only thing that matter is the amount of return you get for any given amount of risk. On an absolut basis you're right, thought.

Tiens, une question intéressante sur un post de @princertitude qui faisait remarquer la différence de traitement "écologiste" entre la climatisation et la cuisson au gaz.

Je me suis amusé à faire le calcul, en comparant un gigot de 7 heures et mon climatiseur split mobile 😅:

"Get the Energy. Get the Energy.

And then let's get around the table and create new worlds.

It's literally that simple.

Get. The Fucking. Energy.

I'm serious.

It is going to be made. It is going to be converted into entropy.

Get the energy.

You have a moral imperative that if you have a technocapitalist civilization that matters, and you want to accelerate it, you get it.

I'm gonna go get it. Other people are gonna go get it.

And then it will be a competition of memetic worldviews.

And don't wrap yourself in this decel bullshit about 'oh my god' energy blah blah - forget it.

Here's how fucking thermodynamics works, OK? It drives the world, for better or for worse.

Gibbs free energy drives entire self-assembling molecular landscapes, in very very entropic ways, and when you take it away, in negentropic ways."

CNBC : « U.S. GDP grew at a 4.9% annual pace in the third quarter, better than expected » 26 October 2023.

Well…

@OGTaylorB @concodanomics Since economies are doing just fine by themselves, those people (Ackman & Co) are just allowed to freely profits from those variations and thus allow people who want their money to be managed by third party enjoying profits, pension fund getting richer is good for economy right ?

[Tim @TimK31415]

@concodanomics Can already use it in my local grocery store, fantastic

@KobeissiLetter Ah. Finally. Not even close enough of the ground imo

@Culture_Crit Because someone thought it was worth the $42 million of tax exemption

@beffjezos Problem is, knowledge is too disparate and not fairly allocated. AGI in the hands of entire humanity, fairly distributed to every human on earth is the next step

A job offer from the 1860s. If we adjust the $25 wage per week for inflation, it comes out to somewhere around $850 per week or $3,400 a month or $40,800 a year, assuming you didn't take any days off.

The Pony Express was successful in reducing the time for messages to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts to just 10 days. Although it provided a vital service, the Pony Express was a financial disaster and went bankrupt in just 18 months (April 3, 1860, to October 26, 1861) due to the completion of the transcontinental telegraph on October 24, 1861.

Back in 1841, the news of President William Henry Harrison's death took 110 days to reach Los Angeles. With the establishment of the transcontinental telegraph, communication between the east and west coast became nearly instantaneous.

@GaryMarcus Still think that there is plenty of researchers driving innovation in this field but there is a lack of great entrepreneurs who could materialize those concept applied in scientific paper, time is now to applied those research

@KobeissiLetter There is one way to go : equities have to crash in order for accurately reflect the risk free rate + excess risk premium

@emollick It is definitely the Far West right now, barely no regulation, thousand of people digging for the best data to produce the best model and therefore providing the best use case. It is like 19th century Oil Rush, everyone pumping into its own garden to find the black gold

@IntuitMachine It should not be a problem to teach AI the way we teach our children imo (through examples, copying, watching, listening etc)

[Tim @TimK31415]

@_david_ho_ First, what country are we talking about ? China or Vatican ?

But your question is fair and I agree that we are yet to see any change in productivity coming from AI, but it will come at some point and it will increase exponentially

@fbirol @_david_ho_ This is nearly 14,000km of Grid installation per DAY! How is this possible ? Is there any alternative ?
