Hangul is the most sublime form of writing system ever invented. Imagine otherwise memorising thousands of pictographs like an ancient Sumerian. Or imagine having to memorise the pronunciation of words instead of just knowing from the written form.Absolute disgrace that the Foreign Service Institute in the US thinks Korean is the hardest language, while random European girls are learning it in six months from watching kdrama and kpop. ...

The family offices that invest in this stuff are third generation galaxy autist brains. Their grandparents, parents, all do factories. Precision manufacturing requires such a unique combination of soft sales (explaining why others above or below you in the supply chain should use you) and engineering innovation. It really only works if you have ...

There are some interesting parallels between humanoid robotics manufacturers and smart contract chains. The firms making the robots are offering them at discounted prices to app developers whether startups or schools. They fly out technicians to fix your robots when they break. They need teams to submit data and test the product. This subsidisation in theory will allow projects to try out specific use cases for relatively low capex. This is all similar to what happened on layer1 protocols in crypto.It is pr ...
