> money just flows between them constantly

This is also true for how HFT guys make money. It's not that they are very good in investments. The Fed injects money constantly from the top which gets distributed or trickle down to such firms. Because in a tight economy which is not akin to gambling, it should be near to impossible to make money so easily.


One future project idea suggestion. Can we combine these characters to create new ones just like Gboard allows us to intelligently combine emojis to create new complex emojis.

I think we will see unbundling of large model into submodels: modular, smaller and efficient, only include what you need eg a CUA model, a reasoning model, a legal model, a writing model, a coding model (this could get subdivided into different languages). That way you only update that submodel which needs retraining.

I haven't seen this question answered anywhere.

Why would anyone use bitcoin if the world's factory ie China wants gold as payments?

Even pro Bitcoin people like Balaji and Lyn Alden haven't answered this structural question. There exists market for what counts as money. If that market (led by China) says we don't accept Bitcoin, then these are just some random numbers.


China probably doesn’t accept Dominican pesos, either, and yet you’d be hard pressed to say that somebody with 100 billion Dominican pesos just has some random numbers. If you can exchange something for another form of value, then it has value. I think the trouble here is that there’s just nobody out there who would actually give you $100 billion worth of value for this particular asset. At least not as a lump sum.

I think we will see models becoming small reasoning core which don't remember tonnes of facts but can reason with data fed to it or they can search.

There are AI researchers who wrote blogposts which got to HN top about spiky spheres (I won't link the original blogpost making that claim to avoid hurt sentiments). Here's 3blue1brown correcting those AI/ML researchers intuitions.

Yes, markets weren't taking his "normal" market manipulation tweets seriously, so he had to go hyperbolic with the NUKE tweet. I am definitely sure Trump is not serious. That's why Iran said we will continue this discussion with complete distrust.

I have a Naive question, "why aren't the discussions related to public matters be telecasted live like a football match to the whole world? why isn't the public privy to the discussions about its own future?"

It gives the parties more room to manoeuvre with regards to the give and take that is often/usually necessary when it comes to negotiating. If you demand X at one point, but revert so you can get Y, then the absolutists will be outraged (either actually or performatively) that you are being "soft" and "weak", etc.

There are a lot of people who think in zero-sum, winner-take-all ways, which is generally not how the world of foreign relations works. And modern-day outrage machine will create more difficult situations if you give here and take there (ignoring the fact that the other side gives there and takes here in return) even though it may be necessary to get a result (even it it's not perfect).


There is flip side to it. If one party has pre-determined not to negotiate, but is just following the script to show offical reachout and due process, then people don't know the real reason why the talks failed?

> […] then people don't know the real reason why the talks failed?

A party can always disclose what's going on in negotiations.

This is generally not done as it is often is a violation of trust, but if there's no good faith there in the first place it's hardly a loss. Negotiations can always be broken off with the reason being "the other side is not negotiating in good faith" without particular negotiated-to-day conditions being released.


But my original proposition keeps everyone honest and pragmatic which was the reason for the proposal. I truly believe in transparency as a way to keep everyone honest and not treat other people as childish that they can't understand complex matters.

Because most world leaders are actors. They put on a show to get elected or retain power. They don't want to look weak and want to spin the final outcome to their favor. That can include one side allowing the other to take credit for an idea that wasn't their's.

Compared to the last World War, things are broadcasted quite immediately. The delay is just barely enough to create a narrative that fits the audience.

There are ego maniacs and people from shame cultures who would be animalistically obstinate in the face of globally televised embarrassment

I mean...we have body cams for police..

That's beside the point.

How about using drone submarines to cut optic fibre undersea cables? Can geolocation coordinates be beamed to submarines deep under water?


Communicating with submarines that are deep underwater is pretty hard. There are techniques like ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) but they require a small power station to transmit a few characters a minute.
