In 1965, Malaysia expelled Singapore to die alone.

One-third living in slums. No resources. No army.

Today: A $548B economy with more millionaires per capita than London or New York.

The blueprint that turned this tiny island into a GLOBAL juggernaut:

We are committing a slow-moving civilizational suicide. At the current birth rate of 1.25, there will be less than a million genetic Finns after 90 years. The same is happening in most of the so-called first world. A thread.

This video explains the connection between Shannon capacity and bit error rate (BER). I found it very convenient to know this basic idea when solving research problems in physical layer wireless communications.

In the same reference, a table shows labour productivity (second column) has mainly contributed to the growth of GDP per capita (first column) from 1980-2005.

[Harindu Jayarathne @HarinduRavin]

I have seen many Sri Lankans discussing in social media about average income and purchasing power in our country and making comparisons with different countries. Few months back I came across this highly correlated GDP per capita vs income per day chart.

It's only been 5 hours since Open AI announced Sora, and people are going crazy over it.

Here are 10 wild examples you don't want to miss:

@brookejlacey @VicVijayakumar I’m wondering, is it due to AI automation making work redundant or is it just recession making unemployment high.

@theGayan @CBSL @CFAinstitute As an undergraduate who planned to find a career in quite different area from finance, I found level I very interesting. Maybe level I knowledge is vital to get at least a slight idea about finance in general. I can understand what he means😅. I gave up CFA after level I though.

It looks like gov is taking good decisions.

[Harindu Jayarathne @HarinduRavin]

@gcdassanayake Hopefully, next gov will not be hesitant to take unpopular decisions now. Taxes need to be at least doubled. Electricity charges need to be doubled. Hopefully fuel charges will stay as it is until USD value reaches Rs 500. I don’t expect people will welcome these changes.

If a potential candidate says our country can recover in 6 months, we need to think twice. What economists predict is at least 6 years to recovery. Whatever the government that comes to power will have to take unpopular decisions majority of people will dislike.
