"BYD recently revealed new fast-charging technology that can add 250 miles of range with a 5 minute charge. Significantly faster than Tesla and matching the convenience of a regular [ICE] car."

"The takeaway from this video is that it's an oversimplification to say that all regulation is good, or that all regulation is bad. Regulations are usually put in place for food reasons. But over time it makes sense to revisit them, analyse the outcomes, and see if the regulations are providing the benefits that were promised. And if they're causing any unforseen problems or costs".

Spotify for CreatorsSwamped by Rules! - Which Ones Should Go? by Patrick Boyle On FinanceThere is a long history of regulation and deregulation where big scandals provide the catalyst for new rules, and then the realization that the rules are possibly excessive has caused them to be rolled back. In finance the 1933 Glass-Steagall provisions came in the wake of the 1929 Crash. The 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act was a reaction to the Enron and WorldCom scandals. Dodd-Frank was enacted in 2010 after the 2008 financial crisis. Good regulation can bring all sorts of benefits, but excessive regulation, does little to serve the public interest, and creates financial costs and frustration for businesses and the public. Elon Musk has vowed to dismantle thousands of federal regulations as the co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, saying the nation’s financial security depends on it. Is he right, and if so, what rules need to go first?

Spotify for CreatorsDeepSeek - How a Chinese AI Startup Shook Silicon Valley by Patrick Boyle On FinanceOn Monday, over a trillion dollars was wiped off the US stock market due to the appearance of a Chinese artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek. The release of a new reasoning model, known as R1, led investors to question US dominance in tech, their expectations around future AI capex while also raising the prospect that China might beat Silicon Valley at its own game. The new DeepSeek model can “reason” to solve complex problems and performs as well as the AI software from US tech giants like Google and OpenAI, but was apparently developed at a fraction of the price of those models.

"DeepSeek used a 'mixture of experts' model. Which means rather than training one large model, they trained tens of smaller ones, on more specific data, that then gets switched on and off as needed."

To the degree that #MOLE Training will be a useful technology in the long term, I think this is how it will be used. Models that are intensively trained on narrow areas to create niche expert systems. The AGI talk is pure sales hype.

"Instead, many countries have adopted lopsided industrial policies that allow them to export much more than they import. Their objective is not to raise the standard of living of their citizens. But to accumulate power and wealth by buying assets abroad."

This was a key part of Reaganomics. Huge chunks of the NZ economy ended up owned by US capitalists by the end of the 1990s. Now China is following a similar playbook.

"North American car manufacturing is highly integrated between the three countries [US, Canada, Mexico], with parts going back and forth across borders as many as seven times during the production process."

Why all this back and forth? Surely it would use less resources to produce a complete vehicle at one manufacturing complex? Even if you're importing specialist parts, they only need to cross the border once.

"Mexico provides almost 2/3 of all US fruit and vegetable imports. So food prices would be hit right away"

#PatrickBoyle, 2025

creators.spotify.com/pod/show/

If we're talking about fresh fruit and veges ... why is the US importing these at all? Especially in enough volume for trade issues to affect prices.

Surely you get fresher produce when it's grown as close as possible to where it's eaten? Not to mention healthier local economies, more resilient supply chains, and lower carbon emissions.

Intriguing. Patrick Boyle did a good analysis of tariffs late last year, looking at both potential pros and cons, and busting a few common myths;

Yet here, only 2 months later, he's back to singing from the neoclassical songbook;

Eg assuming that tariffs will raise prices. Which is not a given, as he said in the episode at the first link.

Spotify for CreatorsCan Trump's Tariffs Work? by Patrick Boyle On FinanceIn today's video we examine Donald Trump's plan to rebalance global trade using tariffs, try to understand the issues with international trade that have been pushing the United States and other countries in this protectionist direction, and if tariffs can be expected to improve the situation or make things worse. We’ll discuss whether Trump could impose his tariffs unilaterally on his first day in office and whether the mere threat of tariffs could be used to improve Americas bargaining power?

Patrick Boyle does a good job giving #a16z chief bro and Nerd Reich mastermind Marc Andreessen a hard time for the insane statements made by the latter on the Joe Rogan Experience a few days ago.

tl;dr Andreessen claimed the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau needs to be eliminated because it's "Elizabeth Warren's personal agency that exists to terrorize fintech companies to prevent them from competing from the big banks" (I'm paraphrasing).

Conveniently unmentioned is that one of #a16z's big fintech investments, #Synapse, has lost something like $50-100 million in customer funds and is exactly the kind of company the #CFPB just announced it would try to regulate.

Andreessen's whole performance on Rogan was truly disgusting.
