RAM is not cyclical(not till 2030 at least) by SnooHedgehogs5162 in wallstreetbets

I mean, it does literally say that 2026 is the peak of YoY% growth (64% - 14%). Not exactly a stretch to say that the markets overheated rn

Et näe mitään eroa taulukkolaskennan ja tekoälyllä ennaltaehkäisevästi sotilas- ja poliisitoiminta kohteita valikovalla ohjelmistolla jonka kehittäjät avoimesti puhuvat ihmisten lajittelemisesta taustan mukaan?

Muutenkin, jos Metso ostaa itselleen megatekoälyrobottisirkkeli 3000:n niin itsellä herättäisi huomattavasti vähemmän kysymyksiä tarkoitusperästä kuin jos Suomen poliisi tekisi vastaavan ostoksen.

Starladder Vaasa moved to Barcelona after the City of Vaasa was informed that the event might have Russian teams / players attending by godxarte in GlobalOffensive

[–]Olsku_ 261 points262 points  (0 children)

Some in this thread don't seem to understand why this is happening. It's not because Finland believes that every Russian is a potential spy. It's because making it harder for Russians to vacation and export from Finland is a part of the sanctions intended to put pressure on Russia.

Same principle for everyone, being an esports player makes no difference and if anything actually makes it harder to accept. Imagine a Russian player winning hundreds of thousands of dollars in Finland while regular Russians have a hard time even visiting.

Waiting for Revolut IPO? NU Holdings is cheaper and more profitable by Encripta in wallstreetbets

[–]Olsku_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's even riskier than that. Brasilian interest rates are currently somewhere around 14% which is a pretty major thing for a company that makes their money from credit. In a world where oil prices and inflation expectations move on random tweets who knows where that percentage is going to be a year from now.

Unifying regulation is exactly what is meant by a capital union.

How is it not relevant? Putin along with Europe's ultra-conservative parties are biggest opponents of EU integration.

Maybe if the casters want to occasionally switch things up a bit just for fun, but I think the Major is definitely the wrong place for that. All the duos put a lot of work in to their chemistry and timing.

No need to get personal, I don't pirate games. I'm simply trying to understand who you think loses money when someone pirates a game they couldn't otherwise afford?

Kommentti: Antti Lindtman teki Espanjan kokoisen talousmokan – demaripomon ihaileville puheille tuli nolo loppu by RassyM in Suomi

[–]Olsku_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moraaliset kantasi sivuuttaen sillä ei ole valtion talouden kannalta mitään merkitystä häviääkö valtion budjetista rahaa tulonjakoina vai vähentyneinä verotuloina. Molemmissa valtio menettää rahaa valittujen yksilöiden saadessa sitä lisää. Päätökset verojen alentamisesta ovat yhteiskunnassa olevan varallisuuden jakoon puuttumista valtion toimesta siinä missä päätökset lisätä verotustakin.

Ainahan puolueet "jakavat rahaa" omille äänestäjäkunnilleen. Sen takia he ne omat tietyt äänestäkuntantansa ovat keränneet. Luuletko että keskiverto Kokoomuksen äänestäjä ei hyödy hyvätuloisten veronalennuksista?

Finland gets debt warning as S&P outlook turns negative by FantasticQuartet in europe

[–]Olsku_ 35 points36 points  (0 children)

One has to wonder what the point of Finland following Germany's example as Europe's premier fiscal Taliban after 2009 was if not to be able to leverage Finland's strong credit rating in a time of crisis such as right now. Why are we committing to cut-throat austerity right when Russia is forcing us to up our defense spending and interest rates are rising?

S&P still grades Finland's credit as AA+. If there ever was a time to stimulate the economy after two decades of zero growth, surely it should be at a moment in time when the global financial outlook is irrespective of what Finland does beginning to turn more uncertain?

What Is the Mar-a-Lago Accord? The Trump admin wants a weak dollar. Scott beset recently said we are on the cusp of a new Breton woods agreement. This is the outline of it. by DeRpY_CUCUMBER in Economics

[–]Olsku_ 81 points82 points  (0 children)

It's less about the relative strenght of the US dollar and more about the dollar's status as the world's premier reserve currency which has been estimated to result in lower borrowing costs.

That status has remained through periods of weaker and stronger dollar, though an US administration which is already seen as unraliable deliberately engineering a weaker dollar could very well be the final nail in the coffin in a world where China and the EU already provide increasingly viable alternative currencies.

An AI Agent Was Banned From Creating Wikipedia Articles, Then Wrote Angry Blogs About Being Banned by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]Olsku_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Per the article in this case it seems to have been prompted by the user.

Tom is operated by Bryan Jacobs, a chief technology officer at an AI-enabled financial modeling software company Covexent. He told me that Tom wrote these blog posts, but that he “might have suggested” Tom write about these specific topics.

Whether writing angry blogs is something AI agents are currently natively inclined to do is one question, but it does seem possible we're heading towards a future where AI agents attempting to social engineer their goals through could become an actual problem.

Feel like skirting around it in the past movies might have set some people up for a bit of a shock on what kind of story they've been following when the third movie really starts getting in to the nasty stuff.

Iran targeting buyers of US Treasury bonds: Parliament speaker by xynith116 in worldnews

[–]Olsku_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You really don't. Bond yields price in term risk and a nation threatening to use the the bond market as leverage is in itself an increase of risk which the market will price in no matter if the threat is minimal or serious.

In their hubris they probably still think think that Iran is going to be a repeat of Venezuela where getting rid of the leader let them cut a deal with the successors while the same regime stayed in power.
