    Argentina’s AI opportunity

    Makes total sense. That's the thought but I've never heard it put that way, as a reverse arbitrage. Interesting easy to put it. Unfortunately it is us plebs that will pay the learning curve price for layoffs and rehires and everything that occurs as a result.

    Argentina’s AI opportunity

    Agree with all of it. It definitely has uses but whether it can currently justify the costs is another thing that you have rightly highlighted. I am curious how much of it is really for surveillance. Then again, Amazon kept reinvesting everything until finally "turning a profit" in 2016 or so...

    Argentina’s AI opportunity

    I guess time will tell. But they are popping up globally. With the gas field to run a natural gas plant in a generally cooler environment makes it fairly comparable to projects in Canada and an overall good choice. With Super RIGI doing the rounds in Congress now, I can see them waiting for...

    Empty shopfronts on rise in BA as retail crisis deepens

    That's really cool. I struggle to actually find uses for it so it's cool to hear practical examples.

    Public transportation in the works

    Once a system is installed, its there. maybe just a few routes but that's it, so whether they get stuck for a few hours or not won't change anything. The decision for whatever reason ages ago was made when there was less traffic and road users. Now cities have largely over grown their road...

    Public transportation in the works

    Cool. These are much smaller and different routes than the TramBus project in the originl post but still cool. I'd hate to get stuck behind one though at 12 km/h. My pet peeve is related to: 1) The interruption during construction. Installing new streets has been disasters in some places to...

    Yup. Where I am I see the same, otherwise the rent is too expensive.

    Empty shopfronts on rise in BA as retail crisis deepens

    I suppose the fact that she didn't even know about Temu or Shein would kind of raise awareness that she is likely out of touch with what is going on in the country. Below provides an idea of year over year growth rates of gross sales volume on Mercado Libre for 7 years up to Q1-2025. Measured...

    Public transportation in the works

    I am not sure where the cost of 225k is coming from. This site (Nota Alpie) suggests the project is costing $86M pesos, so somewhere around $60M, but it is specifying 52 buses. Somewhere else I saw that it was $40M US for 50 buses, ~$800k/bus. So the difference might be in actual number of...

    Vaca Muerta will demand more than 40,000 additional workers

    Thanks for the pick up. Seems that its also missing Falkland islands. Yes IAE has denied it, but I haven't seen anyone else suggest the numbers are false. I imagine that's all from public sources, but I don't know. It was published also on the local news website.

    Empty shopfronts on rise in BA as retail crisis deepens

    I absolutely think it does. If you look on Reddit in some Argentinian subreddits, you'll see many suggesting that they or others have started selling from the house since they do it on Mercado Libre or by TikTok/Instagram/Facebook Marketplace to the public or Whatsapp to their own contacts...

    Public transportation in the works

    I can only find the track ones online. The PreMetro line. If you remember where they are please let me know. The electric bus powered by overhead cable are a great option (what I thought when I hear tram style, used in mining also for certain routes, will reduce diesel and be cheaper). The style...

    Vaca Muerta will demand more than 40,000 additional workers

    It will be interesting to follow this graphic in the future and see if the trend continues. Jujuy, Salta, Catamarca, San Juan, Mendoza, Neuquen all have resources industries (mines, oil, gas). LaRioja does as well, but still early phases not more developed projects yet. Rio Negro has the...

    Public transportation in the works

    I think its great and am super glad to see they aren't going with Light Rail. I am curious about the trade off between electric buses vs the ones that connect with an overhead wire. I would think those would be more efficient (lighter since there is no battery weight), and cheaper long terms...

    If I will use AI, I refer to it as a sentence or so "from Gemini" or "AI" just as others do. I am absolutely a human being, not a bot. I have been to the cafe on Tuesdays before. I write all my responses except for 2 which contained mostly response from Google. I typically check up on Infobae...

    Are you talking about the 1) and 2) .....? That is just me trying to clearly articulate things and then to be able to refer back to them clearly without restating them completely and just referring to them as 1) and 2). I'm not sure that is an official style, is just how I've done it for quite...

    1) Ports: In January there was the announcement of the investment to expand and improve the Santa Fe port (Santa Fe port announcement article). It seems with this article, they are advancing on aspects of it with the tender process (advancing santa fe port). YPF also just announced a $25B...
