Philippine "resilience" is basically this.

So much of the day to day inefficiencies in Mexico are due to it being such a low-trust society.

You go to Telcel and it’s like a bank, with 30 people behind desk.

Why do you need to show a utility bill and give 4 references to get a month to month phone plan?

Because fraud and identity theft are so rampant that people will scam and steal for $20 and there’s pretty much no legal recourse.

Funny enough, the utility bill doesn’t even need to have your name on it.

If it wasn’t for Martin Brundle pioneering the grid walk in 1997, nobody would be standing on the grid today.

Celebrities aren’t obligated to give him an interview, but if you’re on the grid, you’re in Martin Brundle’s world and he makes the rules.

Filming Chinese aggression like this is vital. U.S. strategic comms would be wise to amplify it.

State of AI right now

[Peter Hague @peterrhague]

I need the government to lock up criminals, defend the nation, build infrastructure, collect the bins, and a few other services - basic research etc. I’m not an anarchist or anything.

What I don’t need from the government is moral instruction. I don’t need them to tell me how to raise my kids. I don’t need them to nudge me into better dietary choices. I certainly don’t need them hamfistedly backdooring my devices to check I’m not doing anything they don’t like.

GTFO of my life, thank you. You’re not smarter than me, you aren’t qualified to manage me, please leave me alone.

SK하이닉스 일본 주재원 계신 분이랑 커피챗 내용 간단하게 공유

1. 메모리 수요가 너무 강력해서 일본 고객들에게 줄 메모리가 없다.
미국이랑 중국 고객 주고 나면 일본에 줄 물량이 없다고 함. 그래서 일본업체들 찾아가서 매번 쓰미마셍 고개 숙인다고 함.

2. 메모리 부족으로 닌텐도 같은 전자제품 가격 계속 올리는 중.
메모리가 없어서 난야 같은 업체 뿐만아니라 윈본드 같은 업체도 찾는중.
CXMT는 기가바이트 통해서 이미 소비자용 제품으로 들어가고 있다고 함.

3. 일본에 있는 CXMT 한국엔지니어를 통해 듣기로는 CXMT 설계능력이 생각보다 엄청 뛰어나다고 함. 2-3년 격차가 아니라 그보다 더 좁혀질것 같다고 함. 진짜 중국의 똑똑한 인재들이 밤낮 안가리고 일한다고 함.
한국도 경계해야 할듯.

4. 메모리 가격은 계속 인상 중.. 몇프로인지는 밝힐 수 없지만 계속 인상중. 오늘 엔비디아 소캠에 메모리 줄었다는 이슈로 주가가 내리는데 메모리 가격은 오히려 올라서 영업이익은 계속 올라갈 전망.

*개인적으로 걱정되는건 이런 메모리 가격 상승이 Capex 투자 부담으로 이어져서 AI 싸이클이 빨리 끝날까봐 걱정임. 구글도 채권찍고 있고 빅테크들도 현금이 떨어져 가는게 걱정됨.

*투자권유, 매수,매도 추천 아닙니다.

@docligot The Jollibee one is confirmed; I've seen multiple videos of it and they're all consistent with the pre-earthquake appearance.

The AI boosters had better be right that this will deliver abundance to everyone, otherwise nothing good will happen.

If it delivers abundance but only to those close to the AI companies, people are going to end up lynched and/or executed.

If it doesn’t deliver on its promises, it will have been the world’s greatest misallocation of capital and resources. We’ll have very little to show for the trillions of dollars spent.

The chances of AI being a net positive for humanity are shrinking.

Every 20 years, a Boeing Lufty jet sacrifices it’s nose gear and bows to the terminal at FRA in a very holy ceremony. It’s a blessing to all the airline travelers of the world that they make their connections. Saint Lufthansa 🙏

The progressives have to get it through their heads that this is not a progressive country at all and Risa Hontiveros is far, far, far to the left of the median voter.

Making her run for the presidency is a sign the left and liberals care more about purity than victory. Again.

Anyone checked what their TFR is lately?

[Special Taiwan @TaiwanSpecial]

Awkward Taiwan:

In probably one of the more surreal commencement speeches of all time, graduates at Taiwan’s Shih Hsin University #世新大學 were told to “End yourselves quickly” if they couldn’t keep their lives in order after they entered the work place.

This rather drastic admonition was made by Shih Shin University president Chen Ching-ho 世新大學校長陳清河 during his commencement address to the school’s Master’s and PhD degree graduates.

He then went on to tell them that if they could not manage their lives they should exit from the world because the world wouldn’t need people like them.

The ensuing uproar has led to calls for Dr Chen to resign. Yesterday he apologized for “had not been sufficiently careful in my remarks” and announced he would take a two month unpaid leave.

Confession: I thought bidets were dumb, until I owned one.

Now, I miss mine every time I go on vacation.

I thought air fryers were unnecessary, until I owned one.

Now, I use it more than my oven.

What else am I missing out on?
