Big Island is an extremely interesting place. Its just few kilometers wide but it has around 8 climate zones ranging from snow, desert, volcano, tropical, beaches, rainforest what not. You can drive less than an hour and go from desert to snow and snow to tropical.

There is one public bus that goes around and once I was the only passenger and the driver stopped the bus near the ocean to show the travelling whales/dolphins.

Absolutely not. I dont want to be unbanned. I gave up my media job protesting the Iraq war and I will give up all my social media accounts protesting this rabid propaganda russian ukrainian war.

Thank you for being polite enough to explain though. I really appreciate it.

You can follow some indie people on twitter. meetup is almost dead so best bet is to get into this indie groups and then network out or even go to coworking group events

An absolute majority of startups are not vc funded. Only the ones you hear about are.

You either need to join the right group or talk to some founders.

We are bootstrapped genai company working on reducing hallucinations in LLMs and similarly we know tons of other AI companies that are bootstrapped

>and "moving gold" just means changing paperwork on who "owns"

Usually yes, but in this case and ALMOST all cases recently its physically shifting gold around. Argentina moved it from Argentina to London, most global south countries are physically moving their gold to their own country (India: https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/india-gold-flying-engla..., China: https://internationalbanker.com/banking/whats-behind-chinas-...)

The sanctions on Russia has triggered a flight of capital and gold across countries. I am just surprised why US is buying so much gold given that its mostly developing countries to buffer up their own reserves so that they can trade in their own currencies.

US has USD so why is it stocking up on Gold. Someone somewhere knows the answers.

It doesn't work like this. The stock might fall around $10-$20 every month in the worst case scenario. In which case the premium of $180 will keep rising every week, 90% of which will expire worthless.

You have to buy really farther out or really far off strike both of which have nearly zero probability ( delta is nearly zero and less than 1)

The "abolish slave trade" was done in 1833. India was colonized in 1857 officially. Apartheid didn't end until the 90's

Britain ended slavery and started colonization. But yeah "they ended slave trade"

No amount of info will convince people that colonization was evil and abhorrent because they were party to it, they benefited from it.

>uses OpenAI for LLM inference and embedding

This becomes a cyclical hallucination problem. The LLM hallucinates and create incorrect graph which in turn creates even more incorrect knowledge.

We are working on this issue of reducing hallucination in knowledge graphs and using LLM is not at all the right way.
