The market is like an ecosystem. There are huge mammals (investment banks, hedge funds) that look at certain type of preys, and there are smaller rodents that only eat very tiny worms.

In high volatility regimes, ie. stocks with low market cap, the market is far from efficient. Hedge funds are not even looking at stocks with 100M market cap.

There are traders that act in these regimes that beat the market, exactly because they play small.

Anyhow most people would be better of by assuming the market is completely efficient.

Everyone puts taxes on some sectors. It's economic policy. Trump is not doing economic policy. He's using a simple formula to ideologically reduce trade deficit. No matter the consequences!

Trust the experts: America will be poorer because of these tariffs.

It's typical Empire Hubris: thinking you can get away with anything because you are special.

Trump doesn't really know what he's doing. He surrounded himself with yes-men that know perfectly not to contradict him.

The global Dollar order was built to American advantage. Trump is dismantling it for no reason. If the dollar order crumbles, the US will discover it has much lower productivity.

There is no American exceptionalism: it's just Dollar exceptionalism. No Dollar, no exceptionalism.

Degrees from Europe are very transferable. Germany, Italy, France, the nordics etc. all offer engineering degrees in english basically for free (or close) for all EU citizens. I cannot think of any better and cheaper education path. Some of the best engineers (and professors!) in the US actually got their education from minor and major Universities in Europe where they got their education for free.

It works on Apple Silicon, but it doesn't use the GPU. Because Kokoro has not been implemented yet in MLX

It holds up well, because Audiblez uses sentence splitting (via Spacy models) before audio synthesis

<< They keep coming up with weird “facts” (“Greek is actually a combination of four other languages) >>

Not as wrong as the author thinks. From Britannica.com:

"Greek language, Indo-European language spoken mostly in Greece. Its history can be divided into four phases: Ancient Greek, Koine, Byzantine Greek, and Modern Greek."

Interesting idea, but isn't code addressable already in most languages?

We call them modules/libraries and we pip/npm install them from Github and you can keep track of changes/versions/PRs.

I see 3 kind of people, all common on HN:

- The luddites: it's just hype.

- The doomers: AI will kill us all.

- The AI indie hackers: dunno about AI, I'm trying to make money with it.

Somehow the intersection is right: AI is not really smart, but it will replace a lot of human activity anyhow.

I suspect that's a trick, too. I speculate that as soon as you get a digital mind sophisticated enough to model the world and itself, you soon must force the system to identify with the system at every cycle.

Otherwise you could identify with a tree, or the wall, or happily cut parts of yourself. Pain is not painful if you don't identify with the receiver of pain.

Thus I think you can have unconscious smart minds, but not unconscious minds that make decisions in favour of themselves. Because they can identify with the whole room, or with the whole solar system for what matters.

Would you even plan how to survive if you don't have a constant spell that tricks you into thinking you're the actor in charge?

that's consciousness.
