>>779794
no

>>779807
yes

i'm glad we agree

>>779810
i don't think it should've been a bigger deal

what's the big deal about it

"oh you can make an object" yeah or you can not

okay but 3d printing doesn't really make *useful* stuff

3d printing is nice because you can make something fairly quickly for cheap additively

this isn't advantageous though for anything beyond like prototyping

blegh

>>779823
not really, 3d printed parts arent strong enough to do like *any* task

exactly

it's cheaper that way

>>779830
okay but like how often do most people need something like this

i know that but how often do people need spare parts

3d printers are like a couple hundo

not worth

well like it is in the sense that i could go buy myself dinner for that much

or whatever spare part i needed

it's not *that* much convenient either

like you gotta wait for it to print

which will take hours

might as well just go to the store

gotta also find the 3d model for the part (which, why would the company provide?)

what

is a couple hundred dollars not enough for dinner for you???

well you wouldn't spend it *all* on dinner

but you *could* eat dinner with that money

>>779846
if you're a factory just buy the spare parts for your machines

or get a service contract with the manufacturer

i think that's probably not that practical

like in the first place aren't the parts of a machine that are gonna need to be replaced gonna be the ones under high loads?

typically

yknow a nut that's been worn, a bolt that's stripped, etc.

it just feels like its not really the right use case, especially since it would also be more expensive than the replacement part mass produced

>>779861
the military application is different. military can't just get a service contract in the same way because they're cut off from society when they're on a mission

if you can get a service contract, it's way more economical to just have the company mass produce the parts then send out a technician who will fix it by the end of the day

esp since if it's something mission critical they could respond faster than you could print it

>>779866
okay this is different

3d printing for like special use case materials is like a good application but also not revolutionary

>>779850
someday i'll take you out to dinner bloober

you'll see how nice a dinner can be

we going to mcdonalds

>>779869
ya just in my opinion aint so important

its good for prototyping, for very complicated manufacturing processes, and making parts in like remote locations

but i still don't see something that's really gonna be like broadly useful

just many different fairly niche uses

yeah i mean it did lots of stuff

but so did like injection moulding

>american used british spelling of mould
lol colonized

colonizing that ass haha

>>779880
ok and 3d printing has a place in the market

just not that huge of one

because it's not as important as injection moulding

moldy

>>779888
yeah and which ones cheaper

cant say the same for 3d printing and injection mououlding

yea and im saying like its not broadly applicable i dont think

its not cheaper than the alternatives, and the things it does aren't big problems with modern industry

until it solves a huge painful problem idk

>>779898
does this include time to manufacture?

no because 3d printing isn't just "making plastics on demand" it's like *novel* plastics on demand

okay but then.... just get a service contract with a company who does

get a service contract

i don't know why you are ignoring this

call a technician of your unit

they bring the part (potentially within the hour if you pay lol) and fix it

yeah

>"this machine broke, it was this thing"
>he grabs the thing

if they dont know what broke, 3d printing wouldnt help

yeah but you're not understanding

if you fix machines

you can stockpile the spare parts

without economic disadvantage

because you're gonna use them

like if you repair like a certain model of robot arms

just keep the spare brackets

if you're a large company, hire technicians who are big enough to keep the parts in reserve (and only order robot arms from brands who will provide servicing within your required timeframe)

small companies don't matter in the economy :)

#reply what percentage of money is owned by big businesses

nice try fed. what percentage of money is owned by big businesses

fuck got me there

#smartai what percentage of capital is in large cap vs small cap stocks right now?

As of the most recent market data, large-cap stocks (typically defined as companies with a market capitalization exceeding $10 billion) dominate global equity markets, representing approximately **70-75%** of total market capitalization in major indices like the S&P 500 or MSCI World. Small-cap stocks (generally under $2 billion in market cap) account for roughly **10-15%**, while mid-caps fill much of the remaining share.

### Key Context:
1. **Market Concentration**: The largest firms—Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, etc.—have grown disproportionately due to tech dominance and passive investment flows into mega-caps.
2. **Indices vs. Reality**: The S&P 500 alone is ~80% weighted toward large/mega-caps; small caps are better represented in indices like the Russell 2000 (~3% of total U.S. equity market cap).
3. **Global Perspective**: In emerging markets, small-cap representation may be slightly higher (~20%) due to less mature capital structures.

For precise figures:
- The Wilshire US Large-Cap Index covers ~90% of U.S. equities by weight ($42T+).
- The CRSP US Small Cap Index represents just ~4–6%.

#smartai what percentage of capital is in large cap vs small cap stocks right now in the MSCI non-us markets?

As of the most recent data (typically with a 1-2 month lag due to index reconstitution and reporting), large-cap stocks dominate the MSCI All Country World ex-US Index (ACWI ex-US) by market capitalization. Here's a breakdown:

1. **Large-Cap vs. Small-Cap Allocation**:
- Large-cap stocks (generally defined as those in the MSCI ACWI ex-US Index, which primarily includes companies with market capitalizations above ~$5 billion) represent approximately **85-90%** of the total investable market cap in non-US developed and emerging markets.
- Small-cap stocks (captured in indices like MSCI ACWI ex-US Small Cap) make up roughly **10-15%**.

2. **Regional Breakdown**:
- In developed non-US markets (MSCI EAFE), large caps account for ~88-92%.
- In emerging markets (MSCI EM), large caps are slightly less dominant (~80-85%) due to higher small/mid-cap representation in countries like India, South Korea, and Taiwan.

3. **Methodological Note**: The exact percentage fluctuates based on:
- Market performance divergences (e.g., when mega-caps outperform, large-cap share rises).
- Quarterly index rebalancing adjustments by MSCI, which may promote/demote companies between size segments.

For precise real-time figures, consult MSCI’s latest "Index Market Caps" report or third-party aggregators like FactSet/Bloomberg—these track live weightings adjusted for float-adjusted market capitalization methodologies used by MSCI.

Would you like further granularity on specific regions or sectors? what percentage of capital is in large cap vs small cap stocks right now in the MSCI non-us markets?

lol

these numbers might be totally made up x3

the moral is true

collectively, big companies just have way more money than small companies

a lot of it is in mega cap stocks too

>200M market cap (usd)

well dump means sell but i see what you mean

must be nice to be old and have so many good memories to reminisce on.....

unlike me im in the prime of my youth

i lost 20 iq points

idk it just happened one day

happens about once a year

i peaked at 15

at 15 i was doing real analysis and reading plato in my free time now i just sit around and do nothing

i see i was too busy being brainrotted by my degree

i think probably the weird chinese lab vat drugs did it not the women

or the police

>>779979
i think covid was the worst thing to happen to our society

what covid did is something that cant easily be undone

it broke people's current routines of doing stuff outside with other people, and started new routines of doing stuff at home alone

>>779991
i think the western world did fine and i also think that it was bad because it was a pandemic and there wasn't a good response

sorry i just wanted the four nines i didnt have something to say here

you too

>>779998
i think you gotta understand that like the covid recovery stuff could've been way better

the economy is fine but i think we needed way more social programs

>vaccination
you're not understanding me i meant *recovery*

no i mean the social programs

>>780014
im not an expert on this sort of thing but i think that the isolation caused problems in society, and i think that many things would be better if people were less isolated. i think ideally the government would've somehow gotten people to start going out again to things they used to do. to aid in this they'd ideally somehow try to assist people in developing a normal-ish routine again after they just let things drift for like years. but of course this is all a fantasy governments don't do good things anymore

do you want your answer in dollars or cents

bro's not unironically debt hawking me on libpol i swear to god

"well we can't afford social programs le debt"

alright get in line

yeah and also the fed just made bad predictions for return to employment levels which caused excess inflation. idk i think that like it may have caused more inflation but also i think that these social programs would've been good.

>>780043
well i think maybe i didn't make myself clear enough then. i think that the effects of covid are still around today and are still extraordinarily significant on a social level

i think that covid is one of the large contributors to e.g. everyone being on short form video now

>>780051
you are shadowboxing here who the fuck are you conversing with bro

>i think our covid response could've been better if it had more social programs
>i think its very funny that people say our covid response had no positives
>thats not what i said
>okay but many people do

no
