this is brilliant! I just went through a few years of this, very relatable

thanks for the Xdrive pointer, I just got samples of tinymovr and odrive controllers (with FOC), they seem nice but are more expensive.

it's funny how your forecast reaches such a similar results as "AI 2027"

to me, programming has always been about problem solving, not s/w in itself. I love that with more progress in computing I can solve harder challenges, faster. I'm in my 40s and am more excited than ever about my work.

This is very misleading, just look at the data: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unicorn_startup_compan... Yes, it's different for different countries, and some EU countries are less startup friently. But countries like Norway or Estonia have ~1 unicorn per 1M people, just 50% of US (~2)

This stopped being a territorial dispute long ago.

Russia is only interested in a ceasefire as a pause before occupying most of Ukraine.

Not a single time Russia has even hinted to accepting presence of any sort of third party force in Ukraine for peacekeeping.

This is rich. Russia occupied and annexed Crimea, and a part of eastern Ukraine. Of course Ukraine was seeking NATO membership.

I'm not talking about the fact that Ukraine is seeking NATO membership now, I'm talking about the fact that NATO agreed to not expand to Russian borders and did anyway, putting pressure on Russia.

NATO never agreed not to epxand. That's a lie Russia is spreading, unfortunately with some success, as we can see.

Is it better to invest into TSMC or NVIDIA stocks, in context of AI growth?
