@MichaelAArouet Deutsche Mark stop appreciating against other currencies (joined Euro), no need to improve productivity to run large exports.

@MazzucatoM @elonmusk Explaining the success of Elon Musk as "just bought stuff at the right time" tells me more about your own (lack of) experience and understanding of building companies than Musk's achievements.

Have been playing around with document embeddings on @pinecone and @LangChainAI. Picking the right documents to feed into the LLM context is not quite solved by a vector store search for anything beyond a demo use case. Domain-specific metadata filtering engineering should help.

@visegrad24 I am surprised the president has the power to get all of this done. In most countries all these initiatives would get stuck in the swamp.

@ArmandDoma The Harvard vs Harvard Extension debate highlights that Ivy League education is an expensive exclusive club and its core value is a low acceptance rate.

@donaldtusk Repeal AI Act, DSA and even GDPR. Cookie popups are a constant reminder of EU's over-regulation.

@AustinTunnell This is correct and applies to Italy and other EU countries as well. Which is a simper explanation for lack of economic growth than any "cultural" explanation: at the margin, over 70% of extra comp goes to taxes. If you are a business and need to hire someone to drive an extra.

@tomaspueyo Very interesting thread. In my opinion urbanization despite remote work has quite some room to grow even further. I think real estate pricing will experience extreme polarization. Beachfront properties and city center high-quality apartments in Manhattan, Paris, London,.

@CXGonzalez At times, the fact that rules are "flexible" and most people are allowed to use common sense, is a strength of the Mediterranean system.

@lugaricano Surprisingly underdiscussed: no awareness globally, minimal discussion in Italy. The incompetence and ignorance of the political leadership class is mindblowing and offensive.

The Mixtral 8x7B DPO model by @NousResearch addresses hallucinations, repetitiveness, adherence to system prompt very effectively.
Mixtral model is great, but it really doesn't listen to the system prompt.

@noampomsky Smart observation. On Spotify a handful of artists make all of the money, same applies to dating apps. The "long tail" dilemma, more access counterintuitively translates into stronger power laws.

@DD_Geopolitics Micronesia got a better treatment
People often say that China is not very good in soft power but this is an example of something that they unarguably do much better that the West: treating all countries, no matter how small (we're talking Micronesia here, about 100k inhabitants), the same when their leaders visit.

@AleEquilibrium @Ruffino_Lorenzo La buona notizia è che basterebbe giocare su vantaggi fiscali per nuovi residenti per invertire la tendenza molto velocemente. Si potrebbero portare in italia 2.5 milioni di persone qualificate all'anno da tutto il mondo e aggiungere almeno 2 punti di PIL di crescita.

Sent an email to our German notary on Tuesday, no answer. Follow up on Thursday morning , no answer. Call the office on Friday, assistant says we have received your email, he will answer "in a few days". It's shocking.

@adolfo_urso E' positivo che l'inflazione si scesa sotto il 2%. La velocita' della discesa e la traiettoria fa pensare a una frenata estremamente violenta dell'economia piu' in generale.

@0x_ale I spent 10 years in Singapore, back in Europe now for about a year. The difference in ease of running a simple business, hiring, firing is beyond shocking. The time and money spent with accountants, notaries and tax advisors is such a waste. Europe's GDP would double *easily*.

@robin_j_brooks Germany needing to bail out Spain is a direct consequence of Germany running mercantilistic policies and forcing huge surpluses to neighbouring countries within a currency union

@Molson_Hart I have a small olive grove in Tuscany, we produce for friends and family as a hobby. I can assure you that the production costs of a liter of proper extravirgin olive oil is a multiple of what you pay at the supermarket. Savings form scale or automation are limited, so.

@BrankoMilan Greece can thank Germany and their cult-like belief in austerity (which benefited their own export-driven industrial complex).

@giulio_mattioli "A lot of people who reject key principles of liberal democracy". This is not the lesson. The lesson is that, if you want to win, you need to run a campaign around practical things that matter to people and not around theoretical principles, identity politics and ideals.

@euniceajim It's a consequence of the pecking order of capital markets: when US slows down, Europe/UK is worse and every other geography dries up almost completely, especially at B stage and above where share of global investors on capital deployed is higher.

@NatPurser Good news is that the European economic stagnation is mostly self-inflicted. Culture explains maybe 20%, with the rest driven by overregulation, overtaxation and surreal amounts of public money paid out to retirees.
