  • All the bubbles you have pointed out have sprouted from the latest revolution: the information revolution. Did it start with the transistor or the computer? It doesn’t matter, it’s part of the same technological progression.

    So what’s next in the IT world? My guess is that compute power is only going to get higher, faster, more efficient. If we can manage to make chips on a diamond substrate instead of silicon for instance, the thermals dissipation gains will be absolutely huge.

    The next bubble is going to be about how to use that huge amount of compute power with no tangible added value for the common people, just like cryptos, NFTs have been. (It’s unclear to me if AI is adding value or not).

    Metaverse has already died before being born so I can’t bet on that anymore. Like others have said, maybe something related to quantum chips though my previous thought makes it dead on arrival as well.










  • Thank you for laying out what the possibilities could have been and how the administration has already fumbled.

    Can we talk more about the regime change narrative? You seem to say the Iranian people are now supporting the regime. Is it truly because the opposition was literally gunned down earlier in the year? Or is it because the opposition is rallying to the Iranian flag against a common enemy (the US and Israel)?

    The news isn’t really talking about that and about why the protests against the regime haven’t started again.




  • You can download an app called Yuka which will tell you if a food or cosmetic product has anything suspected of being bad for you in it.

    The app suggests alternatives but you have to be careful (it suggested a lot of zero-fluoride tooth pastes which would make my teeth rot)

    For US consumers, Yuka will tell you if an ingredient is banned in the EU or Australia or regulated there in a different way.
