    I wouldn’t really trust Ed Zitron’s math analysis when he gets a very simple thing like “there is no real AI adoption” plainly wrong

    Except he doesn’t say that. the author of this article simply made that up.

    There is a high usage rate (almost entirely ChatGPT btw, despite all the money sunk into AI by others like Google) but its all the free stuff and they are losing bucketloads of money at a rate that is rapidly accelerating.

    but most tech startups run at a loss for a long time before they either turn a profit or get acquired.

    There is no path to profitability.





  • You mean opaque.

    And you will definitely find out about libraries if you attempt to install anything.

    Some packages will install in your home directory, others, for no apparent reason will spread themselves around the system in the area only available in administration mode. Good luck finding where it all went. The only way I can find is to look at the path in Synaptic, most package managers won’t record it.









  • The Japanese central bank has over a trillion dollars of US Bonds.

    They will have to sell some of those bonds to cover an interest payment due this year, which is likely to cause a run on Bond rates because this is the first time they have done so.

    The only alternative is to issue more Japanese bonds to cover the interest, however this is not really practical since it would cause already high interest rates to balloon in Japan. Reducing govt spending or increased taxation would cover part of the interest but the drop in tax revenue over the medium term would worsen the debt levels.

    The trade agreement that Trump announced, has not, contrary to the reporting of US media, been approved by the Japanese Diet and highly unlikely to be approved, since Trump demanded Japan actually buy even more US Bonds with the non-existent money they have.
