You're arguing theory and not practice. In theory they're better of course. The problem is the implementation. And implementation is a mess because everyone is trying to lock you into their own little ecosystem.

For Android development I still prefer Android Studio (IntelliJ based). Maybe just a habit because I don't really write code there anymore. For everything else usually VS Code.

I think the box explanation is misleading. There isn't literally a box whose surface you measure. The idea is that the state of a higher-dimensional gravitational system can, in some cases, be completely described by a theory in one fewer dimension.

The article completely misses the main MCP point - it's authentication handling. Sure you can login via CLI, but it's much more clunky to manage.

I think inconsistency is really annoying. Hard to rely on it. Most of our reviews clear with a couple hours, but sometimes it gets stuck for days.

Finally some evidence that the system is working. Most countries are borrowing like there's no tomorrow, so obviously rates should go up to compensate the risk of not paying back.

I believe it's at least partially powered by my open source GPS tracking project - Traccar. Nice to see public access for this data.

I also see quite a bit of traffic from China and Singapore. I wonder if it's some scraping for AI training. It doesn't really bother me too much because traffic is still fairly low, but it skews all the analytics for me.

Presumably the whole point of AI is that we can start reducing that number. I am sure there's a significant number of people just working on various administrative tasks processing data and documents.

All of the increase is from energy. Oil prices.

It doesn't mean it's a good investment. It's just a personality cult. I suspect it might take a generation or more to settle on some reasonable price.

Wait until you hear about float multiple Nasdaq is doing.

You're misrepresenting things a bit. S&P 500 has not approved those changes yet and they have some other protections as well. Nasdaq and FTSE Russell definitely sold out and should not be trusted as good indexes going forward.

Most popular passive indexes are S&P 500 and some total markets. Total index, like the one used by VTI, is likely the best spot in this case. They have not changed any rules, as far as I know.

Excellent article. I agree with a lot of points. One think that wasn't mentioned is globalization and bailouts. Companies are getting bigger and more concentrated than ever before. And we bail them out when they fail due inefficiencies. There's no purge in the cycle. And all technological gains are eaten by bureaucratic inefficiencies.

I want to believe AI is the solution, but it's far from certain.
