The bottleneck is having a standardized SAFE for Europe. Global investors must be able to invest without having to understand Italian and Polish corporate law

That's a different thing all together, but a good point nonetheless. Always been dealing with local investors when building startups, because of that.

The claim was that "business operation across different countries" is a "a real bottleneck for EU SMEs" currently, I don't think that has anything to do with investors?

So much American exceptionalism is just the Dollar exceptionalism.

Without the G7 piling up dollars, there is no American exceptionalism.

Dollar is the exception because the US is the exception (partially from luck, partially from its inherited geographical advantage), not the other way around.

At some point the US will lose the Dollar, and it will turn out that US productivity is just like everyone else's.

What do you mean? All the best companies the world have seen recently is in US though. Google, Apple, Nvidia to name a few. What am I missing in your argument?

They're implying that the US is exceptional due to its access to cheap credit, not due to some inherent superiority. Your comment listing off successful american companies seems to agree with him if anything. Maybe you misread the comment and got a little defensive?

Ahh. Makes sense. I did get defensive. Bit not sure why. I don't even live in US.

The US has a lot of other things going for it. Rule of law, enterprise, most of the biggest companies in tech, entertainment and the like.

> Rule of law

Are you being sarcastic?

No but I was thinking more of commercial law. I was quite impressed when I had money in ftx.com that the US got the money back and put SBF in jail promptly even though ftx.com wasn't a US company. I'm not sure any other countries would have done that. That sort of stuff matters to large investors.

That was then, as in it started several years ago.

You do know similar people to SBF have been pardoned by Tump, right? Not related to the money they gave him and his family, of course..

Just create a new user and setup pip/npm to install locally.

And setup an .env for the project with user/password to access only a dev database.

<< America needs to be at war so that Trump can halt normal domestic process and procedure under war powers acts etc. This is the next step. >>

Did something similar a while back [1], best way to learn neural nets and backprop. Just using Numpy also makes sure you get the math right without having to deal with higher level frameworks or c++ libraries.

Its nice! Yeah a lot of the heavy lifting is done by Numpy.

Curious, it's probably my favorite video-game experience ever.

I wish I could have played it, but it made me so violently sick. Only a few games ever have, but none that badly. The other one was Blue Prince which was a tragedy.

i loved the base game, but god i wish (maybe this exists) there's a mod that would replace the godawful voiceovers in the cassette tapes with something good.

Google, Bing, local newspapers, council websites, passed through LLMs

Currrently works in Italy, Germany, France, Spain and UK.

Rest of Europe and USA coming at the end of the month. The search engine is a bit expensive to run, but it's the only thing I've seen that actually finds local events in small towns.

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.

I think it's just interest rates.

I can easily get 3% per year investing in safe bonds, so I expect at least 3% to put money on any 100% safe bet.

I want to be paid for waiting X months

That doesn't explain why there's a market for "Yes". For "No" to be worth 3% instead of 0%, there must be people who think "Yes" will in some way be worth 3% or more.
