Remaining mentally sharp in the age of AI will likely require significant effort, and adding voluntary FRICTION to life (while watching most succumb to AI-generated and AI-powered everything). I have been thinking a lot about the practical effects of AI-led automation and…
good engineering judgement is knowing where the optimal is between NASA's "do everything right the first time even if it costs 20 billion dollars and 10 years" and Elon's "let chucklefuck new grads obliterate your rocket before it even gets to the pad"
The "valid reasons" for slowness are bureaucratic BS and cowardly executives who cater to snide analysts and public-market outlets like WSJ that have nothing to say about a years-late programs and everything to say about a fire that covered 0.0002% of our test site. I am not…
the human brain is a marvel of engineering, the entire body is, feels like to reach agi we just need tools to understand how humans actually work, until then everything we do is probably just shooting in the dark
will never be able to square my two beliefs: 1. adults making decisions for their own lives is essential for human dignity 2. plurality of people are preyed on by not understanding concepts like interest, promo pricing, house edge, engagement farming, commissions, etc.
Falsely labeling non-violent people as “fascist” or “Nazi” should be treated as incitement to murder
The left labeled Charlie Kirk fascist, and he got shot. The left labeled the National Guard deployments fascist. It wasn’t hard to guess what would come next.
I’m sure you all remember Avery Jackson, the “trans girl” who, at 9, was on the cover of National Geographic. Avery was given the gold standard in gender affirming care: he was chemically castrated and sterilized with Lupron - a medication usually prescribed to castrate sex…
It isn't racist *at all* to recognize that immigrants (when permitted) can recreate aspects of their native culture in their new homes. This can be a very good thing or a very bad thing, depending on the cultural feature in question. A wise approach to immigration must…
No, it’s just descriptive statistics: a population of <100,000 stole *billions of dollars* of taxpayer money, which is far beyond the rate of any other group and a legitimate factor for consideration in our nation of origin-based immigration system. If Norwegians were…
When individualistic societies absorb collectivist tribal ones whole without first breaking down tribal structures of authority and inculcating a sense of individual responsibility in each constituent member, they are uniquely susceptible to being dominated politically (because…
"Somalis excel in welfare fraud" is a sweeping identity-based stereotype that undermines any principled belief in individualism or race-neutral western thought.
As I’ve said many times, I think you should take the economic arguments for immigration seriously. But rich people use a significant share of their wealth to avoid crime and disorder and create for themselves high trust environments. I am quite happy to trade away some percentage…
When people share a sense of community and a sense of duty, you can unlock tremendous value. Charity that actually goes where it’s needed, no surveillance, things that run on the honor system, etc. This is incredibly efficient relative to an environment where you must secure…
crabs in the bucket ass mentality, welcome to trying to build in europe
If you want to sell a service such as @Lovable globally and want to jump over VAT/tax everywhere is that OK and fair? Togheter with the journalist @emilhellerud we tracked Lovable receipts and found zero tax compliance(EU). Broadcasted on TV4.
“Do you believe in Santa Claus?” “Well, that depends on what you mean by-” “You can just say yes. It's easier than explaining.”
He’s talking about the US losing its measles elimination status. 1. The measles vaccine works. There is no reason not to get it. 2. Domestically, this is a direct result of how badly the Covid vax rollout was handled. When you spend two years insisting that something is safe…
1. Yes, I saw the news. I am disappointed too. 2. It's a reasonably safe bet that the United States will lose its elimination status unless the books are cooked. 3. My support for the death penalty for scientific fraud has increased several times over.
The left failed so stupendously on K-12 ed since 2020. Racial equity-based ideas to remove algebra, remove standardized testing, lower standards for reading and math -- all have failed. But Republicans are too hyper focused on idiotic culture war to bring this up effectively.
not to pick on Megan in particular because this is endemic among her ilk but it is crazy-making to watch our entire Sensible, Sane, Centrist Punditocracy stroke their chins at this appalling state of affairs and have Deep Conversations about How This Happened without ever once…
It seemed obvious to me that standardized tests were the only thing keeping grades from degenerating into pure noise, though I confess that I did not foresee colleges accepting kids who couldn't do simple arithmetic.
this comic always kills me every time. i laugh like an idiot whenever i remember it
just read this in an investor update "older engineers who graduated from college pre-GPT are actually the best-suited for our purposes. They have fundamental programming ability that's lost amongst most of the current-gen." the AI-induced thinking/skills decay has begun wild
Regular reminder that Epstein won the lottery two (2) times
Epstein was so clearly intelligence for the US and/or Mossad. None of his life makes any sense Nobody goes high school teacher to bulge bracket IB (floor trader) And then goes floor trader to advising the wealthy on esoteric tax strategies Or goes to partner in FOUR years…
President @realDonaldTrump is right. We must distinguish clearly between companies that need to hire critical world-class talent from other countries vs companies that simply hire lower cost non-US employees to increase profits. SpaceX has succeeded *despite* not being unable…
threw it on the family calendar in the kitchen, lfg bois
Imagine you’re a millennial or Gen Z and you’ve just managed to scrape together enough cash and credit to qualify for a 7% mortgage, you go to an open house, and there’s 100 Boomers there all with a 3% portable mortgage. This is the new idea the Trump administration is floating.
