At any moment , one’s reality experience is already preestablished by their current self. Only thing one can really do is to always focus on current action which literally forms future self, thus the reality. Aka karma. Buddha”s core teaching too. Applies for diet, exercise too

@Karmabash maybe that was the US plan all along , leverage for T visit to china. US is all for practical purposes hostage to china now with rare earths and others. No other leverage with china they can pull off than oil/energy "control". would be hard in future with AI drones. Now is it

@traderlln Sure, it won't be the same, but Trump never said the Strait is the reason US is going to war, but now it is. Just sounds like a problem created along the way...

Trump has finally settled on the main goal of the war in Iran: to open the Strait of Hormuz. But it was already open before the war.🤔

@davevermilion not? or sarcasm. can't tell these days with clown show all around the markets and geopolitics.

This is usually good.

@ChairmanYan @BeijingDai ngmi if you insist staying 2nd rate player. x.com/zerohedge/stat…

@traderlln @BeijingDai I am not complaining. It’s on the 4th week of the 3 day SMO so keep it up lol 😂

If the war between Iran and the United States escalates, the world today increasingly resembles the world in 1941 before the United States entered the war.

@ChairmanYan @BeijingDai even more tariffs and sanctions if China loses the leverage. mid.east is a power play, either China cucks out and stays retrd , or makes a move. You can’t count pennies here like a 2nd rate player.

@traderlln @BeijingDai And we’ll pass it right on to the West. Like we did with tariffs. Hoping the US keeps this 3 day SMO going for another 2 years 😂

@ChairmanYan @BeijingDai bill will be sent to China , either via $ strengthening or oil surcharges. don’t be naive.

@traderlln @BeijingDai Still there. Meanwhile what’s happening to decades of US investment and military power in ME? Oh yea destroyed lol 😂

@ChairmanYan @BeijingDai What is happening to all Chinese decades of investments in South America? Squeezed. Mid.east is next level.

@traderlln @BeijingDai China will treat this like Vietnam not WW2. Which was such a disastrous war it knocked the US off the gold standard. The longer the US stays engaged the better. You can’t squeeze China because they can sink half the US navy in a weekend.

@ChairmanYan @BeijingDai i was asking if China would enter here like america did in WW2? It was a game changer for America, it could be for China. These moments have decade long implications, it’s China moment , if they don’t step in they will be squeezed for decades

@traderlln @BeijingDai I was not aware that spending $1B a day for the privilege of losing all your bases in the ME and paying more for all your goods was a play to “squeeze China” who will set another record for trade surplus this year.

@LumberTrading Tariffs success rate worse than sanctions , both become a joke

Have we tried tariffs on Iran?

@LumberTrading epic movie tbh

Steve Jobs responds perfectly to a disrespectful question🤯

@_xjdr can codex do cuda/CuTe , how long before they can optimize pytorch kernels

and added some features too

@realKunalAShah took questionable risks though...hindsight and all.

Netanyahu will be immortalised. Incredible

I spent time in Shenzhen last year and when I saw Merz come back from China saying Germans need to work more I immediately knew what broke his brain because I lived the exact same cognitive shock my first week in Huaqiangbei I burned through 4 prototype iterations of a motor controller board for less than a thousand bucks total, back home a friend was working on something similar and spent over 12 thousand for a single revision that took almost two months to arrive when you live that contrast in your own hands with your own project something permanently shifts in how you see the world and it goes way deeper than speed & cost what Shenzhen actually built is a collective learning organism, imagine 20 PCB fabs 15 injection mold shops 30 component distributors and a hundred firmware freelancers all within a 2km radius, looks insanely redundant from the outside until you realize redundancy is actually information density in disguise I watched this firsthand with an injection mold supplier I was working with, this guy had seen a hundred founders iterate similar thermal designs over 6 months so he proactively modified his tooling before I even opened my mouth, he knew what I needed before I knew what I needed, the intelligence lives in the relationships between the nodes and it compounds daily the west thinks about manufacturing as a cost center you optimize by centralizing… China accidentally built a distributed neural network of manufacturing intelligence where knowledge diffuses horizontally across thousands of agents faster than any single western company can process internally so when Merz comes back and says we need to work a bit more I think he saw the problem but COMPLETELY misdiagnosed the solution, telling Germans to work harder is like telling a horse to gallop faster when the other side built a combustion engine the gap is ARCHITECTURAL it’s ecosystem density, you need a custom connector in Shenzhen you walk 200 meters, in Munich you send an email and wait 3 weeks it’s iteration speed, parallel search vs sequential optimization at the system level, it’s risk tolerance, Chinese founders ship something broken on Monday fix it Tuesday ship again Wednesday while European companies are still in the approval phase for the pilot program of the feasibility study… and Merz only saw the surface, what he missed is the tier 2 cities like Hefei Chengdu Wuhan replicating the Shenzhen model at scale right now BYD going from irrelevant to outselling every european automaker combined in roughly 5 years, Huawei building its own 7nm chip under maximum sanctions when every analyst said it was physically impossible & behind all of that a government that treats advanced manufacturing as an existential national priority while europe debates whether AI needs another ethics committee I think what we’re watching is the most asymmetric economic competition in modern history and most western leaders are still framing it as a productivity problem when it’s actually an ontological one Europe & America are optimizing variables that China stopped tracking years ago meanwhile China is compounding on dimensions the west has no framework to even measure Merz at least had the courage to name it out loud and I respect that genuinely but working a bit more inside a broken architecture just means you arrive at the wrong destination slightly faster

@8teAPi BTC surprisingly stable during these events, I guess some of the money will move to stable coins if not BTC

well I guess there’s a lot of people who will pay up for those Trump Gold Cards now.

@imetatronink what are the chances of venezuela 2.0 like off-ramp ? regime intact but everyone plays along.

🤔 My Thoughts on the War Du Jour My sense of things, less than 24 hours into it, is that Iran has escalation and resilience supremacy on this battlefield. That said, I fully expect the masters of the eroding American empire to act to turn mere humiliation into something worse.

@iruletheworldmo @MatthewBerman Probably true, more than half in the teams that built US sota models are 10x Chinese immigrants. Ifkyk. wouldn’t be surprised if deepseek beats, the Chinese teams hoarding talent too

@MatthewBerman hope so but i’m hearing the whale is a beast.

>as reported by strawberryman, deepseek has crept ahead of sota US models >openai have seen this and delayed their 5.3 (chat) release >the progress of 5.3 codex has accelerated the timeline further >we can now expect a sota fully open source release of deepseek next week however openai will now skip 5.3 and jump straight into 5.4 >5.4 has a much bigger pre train and imo, is starting to creep into asi territory, though still a little jagged >into the singularity we march let's get ready to rumble.
