yeah IDK it was sort of a soft, slow acoustical guitar... no lyrics but hard not to hear in my head "broken hymen of your highness" and "I wish I could eat your cancer" as i'm waiting for that blood draw

Wild that two dudes on nostr would come up with that and they wouldn't, but maybe they really are that incompetent. Or just so corrupt that they wouldn't reach a conclusion which reduces their control.

Yeah I agree with the first point... He may very well be guilty of smuggling-related offenses, but I value free international trade much more than nationalistic notions of "great power competition."

On the 2nd point, yes that is the goal to restrict China's access to GPU's -- and I would note that Taiwan and China don't exactly have good trade relations, so they aren't getting chips from TSMC anyway.

There's something that happens when the Right takes over in America, which at its best is sort of a "go get 'em tiger" spirit of Industry, that seems to have found its expression this time around in the AI boom since '24.

The fact that BTC is still treated as something within the "basket" of Tech stocks means that it's being completely misvalued by the people causing the price to dump.

Although the other side of it is I guess it's the most liquid asset in history, so anyone who has to cover bad bets in AI (priced in fiat) are going to be liquidating it first...
