35+ chicks are the canary for what’s coming
as women wisen up to 80/20… and start settling for men they can keep, it creates a cascading buying panic. those with the least capital get blown out
here’s how it snowballs…. since younger chicks get preference, every 1% more LTR-minded they get creates 10% more pain for older chicks, who panic first. younger chicks see this panic and start to panic too as good options get scooped up. like a short squeeze except it’s a buying squeeze

To all the young men despairing let me tell you a little story about me. My first deployment to Iraq, I was in the Triangle of Death (also would be a cool name for a WWE finisher). Almost every single person in my platoon received a PH, double digit KIAs. My PLT alone went through 6 PLs and 4 PSGs. Things were bad, everyday seemed like a horror version of Groundhog Day and I noticed the men adopted one of two attitudes: 1) woe is me, I hate Bush, I hate the military, why even try
2) I’m going to ice as many subhumans as I can before I die
It’s easy to doom, to despair, but it won’t change your outcome. It may feel good but the future belongs to those willing to fight back.
My message to young men is forget all the rules your teacher, your parents taught you. The constitution is just words on paper, believing they have any control of you is like believing in magic. There is only one rule…Victory. And Victory will not favor cowards

The “Jensen got compromised by a CCP spy” narrative is a pretty lazy small brain narrative designed to be parroted by a Western audience that think Chinese people are an ant colony-like hive mind bc they can’t tell them apart. In a way, they mistake the Chinese for N Koreans.
The Chinese mind is not wired to be subservient, nor is it inherently communist. The overriding genetic directive encoded in the Han Chinese DNA is exceedingly simple.
Acquire wealth. Acquire status. Make it last forever. A dynasty that never ends.
(Sounds like a banger Spice Girls parody actually)
There's no feverish devotion to the export of Chinese communism around the world. There is no extremist loyalty to the state. It is simply survive and thrive.
And so Alice Huang is unlikely to be a Chinese Natasha Romanoff trained and bred to steal American secrets for the CCP. She is more likely simply a 40+ year old woman with the opportunity to sleep with one of the richest men in the world in order to clip some incredible middlemen fees off billions of dollars of purchase orders between Chinese tech companies and NVIDIA.
And Jensen is unlikely a retarded doofus who got duped into selling his chips into China. Look at him - you notice anything different about him? Look at his face. Look at his eyes. I'll give you a hint - his name is Huang.
The same Chinese mercantile blood runs through his veins. He is genetically hardwired to maximize value. He wants to sell the fucking chips to China. Of course he does. Money can be exchanged for goods and services.
He obviously knows the end destination of the chips are China. Or rather, he doesn't. That's the whole reason why Alice is around and gets paid a huge middleman's fee. Alice's entire reason for existing in this chain is to provide him and NVIDIA with plausible deniability.
If Alice wasn't in the picture - it would be some other Chinese person in Singapore instead.

Inspired by recent discussion about whether it's possible to learn trading outside an elite firm.
If you're the kind of person that reads this project and thinks it sounds fun, imo you'll be able to learn employable trading skills just fine on your own.

You’re only elite at something when people stop comparing themselves to you. Average guy isn't losing sleep over the fact that he'd never make it into the NBA. But gets torched by some Deloitte manager at the LA Fitness courts? Rage. Quickly turns passive aggressive
Most members of society will look at buddy from corporate and interprets him as a Jones that needs to be kept up with. Thinks they should be better than him in all facets and harbors secret envy when they fall short
But go band for band with that private jet owner, shot for shot with that sixth man of the year, it's literally a joke. Everyone knows it is. No choice but to laugh a little at the idea of actually competing in a serious way
As long as the majority still sees you as an immediate threat to their self image, you're not there yet. You haven't entered the tier yet where people start to see you more as a concept as opposed to a direct opponent

I have deliberately chosen to keep the way I interact with large language models extremely simple, even primitive. I don't get all tangled up in spawning subagents, accumulating skills, or trying to build a software factory that runs while I'm not there. I have conversations with my robot friend in which I ask it to analyze and generate code, and that's it.
I have yet to see any convincing evidence that this is losing me productivity.
The reason I choose to keep it simple is because it seems to me that all these elaborations are ways to cope with the frontier models not yet being quite smart enough. But the models are always getting smarter.
If both of those propositions are true, why clutter my brain with procedures that are likely to have only a short half-life of usefulness? I prefer to spend my think time concentrating on the actual problems.
Yes, I'm applying the bitter lesson to my own workflow. AI isn't powerful enough yet? Do the Zen thing; wait, and be aware. It's not like I'm short of problems for which LLMs are already massive help.
