@0xMaheshK @san2san @ujjwalscript Not exactly as it is trying to replicate something that already exists. Not creating something novel. Still an impressive feat but not at the scale you are suggesting.

@san2san @ujjwalscript No on the contrary my point was single agent built something that was built by humans across decade of incremental updates, iterations, PRs and bugs. And still able to reach past value 50% than decade worth of output.

@watn_tarnation He didn’t. He started backing off on specific implementations and made a ton of exceptions…

@JohnRockwell43 @pplsartofwar @Hezbolsonaro Vietnam intervened in Cambodia because the Khmer Rouge was killing ethnic Vietnamese as well.

Thread of why China is a smol bean who can't help Palestinians 1: Eat shit towelheads, nobody gives a fuck about you

@hk_nik @thesiriusreport This is true in a closed economy but not in the case of a global producer. What is likely to happen is China exports its deflation as its products become cheaper on the global market. Almost an inverse of the way the US exports inflation due to its reserve currency status.

I disagree with this take. Deflation is bad for both businesses and consumers. Consumers will ironically stop or drastically cut spending because they will wait for better “deals” in the future. Businesses on the other hand cannot reasonably invest in future production expansion if their produced goods keep falling in price. We also assume wages are constant?! It is far more complex than just saying “inflation = bad”.

Worth reiterating: According to Western experts, deflation in China is a death sentence for their economy. However if you produce real things and prices are lower, rather than shuffling worthless bits of electronic paper and calling it economic growth, then your population will have more disposal income and that will help stimulate more economic growth, because cheaper goods and services means you can buy more of them. Cheaper asset prices in the world of worthless electronic paper is a disaster, because your have asset impairment and you balance sheet is then wrecked, so bankruptcy and default beckons because our entire economy and financial system depends on rising asset prices to create the illusion of economic prosperity. The symplistic western mindset also believes that lower prices (deflation) equate to lower demand and higher prices (inflation) equate to higher demand. Have they learnt nothing about the causes of recent inflation in the west? What about when deflation is caused by access to cheaper energy and raw materials, which is good for an economy, improvement in productivity, which is also good for an economy and trading in local currencies, which is good for the economy, etc etc Deflation is bad for zombie economies and financial systems, dependent on debt fuelled fictious asset bubbles. Ultimately a healthy economy depends on the profitability / margins you make, not on the price you sell your goods and services at. So we always come back to the mythical aggregate GDP as being a barometer of economic strength which of course is utter nonsense.

@Anonymostw @Kathleen_Tyson_ Curious what the source is for that price is. Whether it’s on real traded exchange rate or is just an implied price derived from cny/usd and rub/usd. If it’s the latter it’s meaningless.

@Kathleen_Tyson_ The RUB/YEN rate does not look any better than the RUB/USD rate.

I’m seeing a lot of posts about ‘ruble collapse’. Don’t get too excited. How is does USD/RUB rate ‘collapse’ Russia now that most of Russia’s trade with the world is in its own or partner currencies? Russia is a storehouse of everything Russians need (and the world also needs) and is at full employment. There is zero food poverty in Russia. Unlike US-UK, no Russian child ever goes hungry.

@CleanAirCChNC @Kathleen_Tyson_ Since trading usd/rub is difficult, triangular arbitrage pricing wouldn’t necessarily hold. Curious whether the real rub/cny differs from the implied arbitrage price.

@falck_rob @The_Real_Fly Peer countries in Africa not on the CFA Franc outperformed those part of the CFA Franc, in case you thought France was doing them a favor vs what it actually is doing, leeching.

@The_Real_Fly yeah, let them bank with Zimbawe from now on, it's way better

The guarantor of the ECO currency used by ECOWAS nations is France. These nations up until just a few years ago used the CFA Franc printed by France and pegged to the Euro — using France as their central bank where they were ordered to send 50%+ of their reserves

@robrousseau @nick_____t If you want another cult fave but with the heat turned up try chuannan hot chili oil

@nick_____t I make some very good peanut sauce noodles with it, come by sometime and try it

Genuinely not sure how I made it through the entirety of my life thus far without this stuff

@slavomir_YU A good read, but overly pessimistic. The essay describes global development, both rising and falling in unexpectedly by contemporary economists. That should be the takeaway, that extrapolating the future, especially in economics is foolhardy.

@laserboat999 You’re talking about Airag, fermented horse milk. Mongolian Nomads still make and drink it.

@jacobdotgov One of the things I appreciated about the OC was how much self parodying it did, which at the time, had not yet been overused ad nauseum.

@con_seanway @jacobdotgov Pretty much nobody eats or likes ketchup outside of America.

@UrbanCheapskate @jacobdotgov Both are fine. Baby taste buds.

@bimbocommunist It's supposed to be "pillowy", gummy gnocchi is a sign that whoever made it overworked the dough.

Is gnocchi supposed to be gummy? I’m sorry but the Italians kinda missed with this one :/

@andraydomise They did a movie a year ago that does an okay job of wrapping everything up.

@jacobdotgov Everyone knows he’s Superman but fearfully play along because he’s an omnipowerful god alien that could wipe out humanity in a blink of an eye if they were ever to upset him.

@jacobdotgov He literally went from hawk to dove because trump bullied him.

@foucault_46 @JucheMane People who visited times square once, and say "i like new york but i could never live there".

@JucheMane guessing the audience for this is exclusively... other writers who have left new york?
