Not long ago, Xi said, "Right now there are changes, the likes of which we haven't seen for 100 years..."

I think he's referring to the establishment of BRICS and neutral settlement, and he sees the days of the dollar(petrodollar) as waning. But there are huge ramifications to that.

The coming year could end up being note-worthy.

Barry-1[1] manages to climb 100 Km higher in orbit without using propellant. Quantized Inertia, on which the purely electrical thruster is based, starts to draw interest.

You can follow along, watching the Semi-Major axis. There are other experiments on board, once those are complete, they'll be switching on in a month or so.

Last year's thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34125628

(I predict csomar will create another one in a couple of weeks ;))

I also predict most of the low effort, ChatGPT-based businesses will shutter, and companies will sunset ChatGPT-based features because they're not worth maintaining. There will be no major disruption/breakthrough in the technology, the hype will continue to cool as the average person moves on to the next thing. The market will continue to suck, but not because AI is taking our jobs.
