Jamie Dimon to a country that pulled its gold out of New York: you have three armies within 400 miles, while gold in America is protected by two oceans and the US military
“If we have the strongest military in the world and the strongest economy in the world, we will be the preeminent reserve currency. It is those two things.”
“I was in a country somewhere in the Middle East, and also in Europe, and the people said, we took our gold out of the vaults in New York City and moved it to our country. You know what I said to him? I said, you have three armies within 400 miles who can come take your gold.”
“That’s the real world. You’re not thinking clearly about safety. That gold is protected by the Atlantic, the Pacific, the United States military, the rule of law.”
“But if we are not the preeminent military and economy, you will see our reserve status come down.”
Got to agree. These days, I am noob reviewing code written by a highly capable and smart engineer (Claude Code), and my job is to just direct it.
I find pleasure in reading code written by it and understand every single line that goes into our production codebase. Any compromise here is a slippery slope to the codebase becoming a blackbox.
We finally have an explanation for “Facebook is listening to me through my phone”. They’d never do that (and it’s not really possible).
Turns out literally everyone else was — and then selling that to ad data brokers.
@Rothmus Those who are opposed to corporations and favor government do not realize that government is simply the largest, most monopolistic corporation of all and it has a monopoly on violence.

Kk didnt focus on sweetness and softness in singing a melody like sonu, abhijeet, shaan...which added to his uniqueness, like a certain real human sound for emotions and dard like kishore kumar. Udit & Sukhi focuses on dehaat and desiness, raw touch. Arijit on nasheeli voice.
I’ve said it a hundred times - the biggest reason why Indian cities look so bad at ground level is an absence of proper pavements.
*It causes air pollution
*It prevents pedestrian movement
*It encourages littering
*It ruins the country’s image.
Why can’t we build and maintain proper pavements?
Why can’t we fix the problem across the nation in mission mode?
This is such a banger rule in @opencode's AGENTS.md
"Before adding complexity for a speculative or vanishingly unlikely race or security edge case, explain the concrete failure mode, likelihood, and complexity cost to the user and get their buy-in. Do not silently expand scope for theoretical robustness."
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

Until India develops, based on the talents of our own people, we will not find true respect in the world, no matter whether right, left or center is in charge anywhere.
The racist shows us a mirror and asks: "if your nation is smart, why do you want to come here". I do not hate him, I want to respond by building.
Some Indians agree with the racist and think India will never develop. I do not hate them either, I want to respond by building.
Companies and nations are built by people who believe it can be done.
The urgent national priority is to build, build and build.
Imagine you accomplish the herculean task of convincing people to switch off of Chrome as their default browser (something Microsoft couldn't even do with billions of dollars) and then you decide to just throw it all away.
