> Also, in practice the EU has its deepseek equivalent model in Mistral.

In practice, European companies don’t use Mistral.

First acknowledge the reality, then we can propose solutions.

> Why is allowing creation of a new culture, a mixture of multiple cultures, such a bad that thing? Particularly when a country is facing serious popular decline.

“You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”

And yes, every country on earth has another culture/country they absolutely hate and consider them the villain. America included.

> Japan is probably not the best choice if your goal is a second or third passport, as others mentioned above.

Japan is a good option for a first passport.

Why do you assume everyone wants to keep their American, Canadian, or British passport. You can still invest in the S&P500 as a non-American, and still visit the national parks.

Why exactly is the US passport the “first” passport? Is it so the US can evacuate you if things go to shit while you’re abroad?

> How do you get proof of renunciation before becoming a japanese citizen? You would be stateless in between?

Usually they say:

“Here’s your new passport. You have X months to provide proof you renounced all your prior citizenships, otherwise we will revoke your citizenship. If we find out you had a 2nd undisclosed citizenship, we will revoke you then too.”

> When SpaceX IPO'd he was valued at over a trillion USD.

If you offer 0.0000001% of your LLC for sale and I purchase one share for $1, the value of your company becomes $1 billion dollars.

That’s exactly what SpaceX did. But with 5% shares for sale.

How’s that FSD from 2017?

Has it been delivered yet?

Rideshare on Tesla Network making money for you while you sleep? Oh, “concept”. Right.

> you can make cars fly and people will still complain

Until everyone who wants to buy a flying car can buy it and have it delivered next week, yes, we have every right to complain.

Until then, this Tesla demo is no different than an AI generated video. Can’t buy the car yet.

> I mean, there isn't any evidence other than heresay

3x leverage on VTI/VOO yields 20% annual return over the past 30 years.

Even you, a passive index fund investor, can do this in your Schwab/Fidelity account.

Now consider algorithmic prop trading firms with 10x, 20x leverage. You do the math.

For reference, most people take 5x leverage on their house (20% down payment).

> If investment managers are so good at investing why don’t they just make money for themselves instead of trying to get people to invest with them?

The good ones do.

Citadel Securities, Renaissance, Jane Street, HRT, Jump, consistently do 50%+ annual returns over the past 15-20 years. They obviously don’t accept outside investor money.

Now, hedge funds that accept outside money like DE Shaw, Bridgewater and shit, yeah, they barely outperform S&P500 after their fees.

Then at the bottom, you have financial advisors who underperform S&P500 after their fees, but these advisors provide emotional support, so that’s what you’re paying for.

> It just seems weird for Karpathy to throw around these numbers calculating percentage against the entire global population.

Just another Anthropic employee trying to spread hype about Anthropic IPO

Revenue must be stagnating.

> The majority of the affordability crisis stems from car dependency and excessive need for infrastructure due to bad zoning policy.

New York City is one of the most expensive places in the world. Housing is more expensive than SF.

No cars needed in NYC, yet expensive as hell.

> People take offense.

Sounds like something people low on the corporate ladder say

> Now, you're going to continue attracting LESS of the top tier talent as you make it clearer and clearer that you don't want them. This is the talent we want most.

No. It’s not.

> other companies that would be suspended […] included Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp., Infosys Ltd., Tata, Wipro Ltd., HCL Technologies Ltd., and Capgemini SE.

These companies are D tier talent, at best.

> That's the compromise: Deepseek gets our data and the CCP gets our data. You get very cheap tokens. BUYER BEWARE!

Anthropic also shares your personal data with the US government.

At least DeepSeek provides 95% of the performance for 10% of the cost.
