#29 - The Sharemarket is Rigged! Pick Why!

09/05/23 • 54 min

Bet that got your attention! If you day trade - or anything like it - you HAVE to listen to this episode - whether your financial advisor likes it or not. Oh yeah, because to hell with all that energy stuff we've been discussing for a while, today the boys are talking money! Mullah! Bacon! Coin!
BANK!!!!!

We're channelling our inner Gordon Gekkos and ripping into the stock market mafia you never hear about. Not the run-of-the-mill ostentatious Lamborghini-revving Wall Street rip-off merchants --- but the actual cheats.
The sophisticated types, the silent quants, the ones who write superfast algorithms, gain advantage with super short connections and build software black boxes to effectively print money continuously 365 days a year while taking on ZERO risk themselves.
We have a bunch of fun discussing their slick tricks and INSANE schemes (the ones we know about!) and where they go from here.
Is greed good? Are you a day trader? This is the episode for YOU.
Make sure to share it with all your friends and tell 'em in bold capital letters: THE STOCK MARKET IS RIGGED! (allegedly - hahaha).
Or ... maybe tell 'em it's all fine and dandy, nothing to see here, while you quietly fire-up your own algorithmic trading engine. I mean, if every other bloodsucker is doing it, why not you and us? Anything for an edge, baby! Kaaaaa-ching!

#28 - We Reckon This One Saves The World (Part 2)

It's the second half of our Fusion love-fest. Having taken you on a tour of the International Thermonuclear Power Plant (ITER) in France, this time we’re flying you across the Atlantic to ogle yet another power plant under construction in Devens, Massachusetts.
Why does this one matter so much? We tap the secrets of the breakthrough design and talk cost efficiencies, because as we all know boys and girls, when it comes to energy, the almighty dollar matters!
And finally, after promising in the last episode, we talk timelines for igniting that first star here on Earth. How soon? How hot? And WHEN could we reasonably expect to have thousands of these babies pumping out clean, green, unlimited baseload electricity for the planet?
For Bruce's article on his conversation with Alex Creely spanning Commonwealth Fusion Systems and their SPARC and ARC protoypes, as well as Bruce's predicted timetable, see https://www.brucemccabe.com/futurebites/a-timeline-for-fusion .

#30 - This is Bigger Than Quantum Computing!

Computing power that we all use is about to change forever - and you heard it here first. The next generation of computer chips is on the way - and they are not as we know it... they're Neuromorphic! Neuro-what? Neuromorphic! Bio-inspired! More brain-like! Mimicking the eyes and ears and brains of flies, mice and -- yep -- humans.

Computing power is so - well... computer-like.... and that's old news. So forget all those old-hat computers we've been using since the 1950s. With exponential Artificial Intelligence growth now here, THIS is the future for computing power.
Dr Bruce has just come back from a leading lab in Australia where he’s poked and prodded all the cool new gadgets, and he’s busting to share.
Artificial eyes?
Wetware?
Brains in a dish?
Get ready for the mushy stuff! It's about to POWER YOUR WORLD!
Wanna learn more? Listen to the detail in Dr Bruce’s interview with Dr Alexandre Marcireau at the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems.
