Those index funds forced to buy into SpaceX so quickly before proper price discovery are also big at lending stocks for shorting.

Google has not changed. Following two facts are like tautologies by now.

1. Their AI efforts are very fundamental research oriented. They are really good at it.

2. Their productization sucks. The end products gets little attention compared to competition. It can be canceled at any time. You should never build anything around Google only APIs, AI or not.

Almost all lenders are institutional funds like Vanguard and Fidelity.

As index funds they were forced to buy. They are not taking any view.

Oracle LFCF (ttm): -24.54B

Levered free cash flow (LFCF) is the cash remaining after a company has paid its debts and operational costs. Oracle has 167.43B debt. $43 billion in last fiscal year.

Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon will be fine if AI bubble bursts. Oracle will be among first to go down in flames after OpenAI.

u1hcw9nx — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 11:18:08 +0000

Alternatives exist, but little demand outside hyperscalers and special uses.

Neocloud customers just want plug-and-play CUDA. It works, it's tested, it adapts faster, and has known performance. Alternatives give no significant benefits.

Things can change, but they are not changing now.

>Unlike the stomach viruses that typically disappear after a day or two, the parasite can linger for weeks — sometimes even months — before finally loosening its grip.

That's a death sentence for many elderly and already sick people.

New comment by u1hcw9nx in "Unicode's transliteration rules are Turing-complete"

u1hcw9nx — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 10:20:19 +0000

ICU's core rule-based transliterator engine based implementations have 16 rewrite limit per input code point. This covers basically all widely used systems in use.

Injecting new rule is into Uinicode transliterator is remote possiblility, but even if that happens, it does very little.
