I will point our that most relationships end in separation. Maybe the reason for the breakup was in their story. Maybe they just stopped liking each other. We can't know without OP telling us.
With schemes like SpaceX, and the general number of large-cap-but-negative-earnings companies trading on the market, I feel like the conventional wisdom of DCA and chill / just passively buy the index will turn into an underperforming strategy vs a slightly more active or opinionated approach.
But isn’t “passively buying the index” still exposed to this, at least if you’re not buying “equal weight” version? Dividend stocks sounds even more appealing to me, I read that as “companies that are generating stable profits now”.
In my understanding some index funds i.e. FTSE Russel ones will include spacex with the weight based on the floated stocks, so in practice the weight in the index will be small enough in All Cap etc indices. So I decided for myself it is not a cause for concern. But I think now it is the time to look for index providers who do not decide to bend the rules for short term gain (i.e. S&P and Nasdaq).
SpaceX is responded to the float issues by having a continuous increase in the unlocked stock available on the market.
And NASDAQ was the first index to promise a quick inclusion of spacex.
Yes. We can complain that technology is "too complicated" but so is the human brain, consciousness, and every other biological system which we have failed to fully understand.
Knowing that we are surrounded by systems we can never know is both a gift and a curse, but offering a chicken to the sky god for more rain is not a world I'd like to go back to.
Patrick Boyle on Finance has a Youtube video on the topic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBlu45HFruk). He basically explained that they simply can't afford the proposed transaction, so it was never going to actually happen.
Singapore isn't particularly violent, it's just efficient. It's the threat of deportation (huge swathes of the population are on work visas) or punishment that keeps people in line. Even their prisons aren't very violent, it's just that if you commit a crime, the police will find you (it's a small place with lots of cameras) and the courts will apply the standard sentencing.
That's kind of the point. Ask yourself: which people would you genuinely be excited to make a little happier? (through a compliment or otherwise) Whose opinion are you keen to carefully listen to and consider? Who do you like enough such that you will want to put in the effort to remember their name?
I think the idea is that if the stranger on the bus has a haircut you genuinely find to be wonderful: tell them about it. You don't need to force yourself to be nice, just take action on the things you're genuinely excited to do.
And if you don't ever want to be nice to people, then you have some digging and reflection to do (including about if/when you are nice to yourself).
Stop personifying LLMs. "It Confessed in Writing." No, it wrote some sentences that are congruent with the prior events in the context window. They're not real engineers. Shouting at them is like shouting at a mountain after a landslide. That's not how it works.
The personification seems to be at the training level. When I ask an LLM why it did something destructive, the ideal response would be a matter of fact evaluation of the mistakes that I myself have made in setting up the agent and it's environment, and how to prevent it from happening again. Instead the model itself has been trained to apologize and list exactly what it did wrong without any suggestions of how to actually prevent it in the future.
100% this. AI perversion to fluff human egos is rewarded.
I had a PM-turned-vibe-coder tell me "Talking with you is the only bad part of my week" and realized in horror that the rest of his week is spent exclusively talking to sycophantic AI.
You forget that people running these companies have near zero understanding of what LLM is and rely solely on their personal experience and social media hype.
I've inclined to believe that they also have outsourced their thinking process to Agents. It's useless trying to talk sense into them. Let them crash and burn. And pray there will be something left working, after all this madness ends.
It is a bit silly, yes. But opus sometimes gives answers like, I am not allowed to do x and then brags about doing it anyway. So it is not just a hindsight thing
