Thomas Massie literally decided in 7th grade that he would be admitted to the most intellectually rigorous scientific university in the world just to be able to compete in and win a robotics contest. And then he did it. Ten years. An impossible dream. Most can't plan their day.

The concept of being a commencement speaker and then mogging all the students by telling them AI will destroy their career path.

MIT has a mechanical engineering contest where students are given a bag of junk and tasked with building a robot. Thomas Massie won the contest in 1993. He dreamed about it from 7th grade and followed through. The US Congress must consist of the best among us. Like Thomas.

In my analyst/associate years, an MD found out 10 of us in the bullpen was organizing a 24hr casino trip. Leave Friday at 5pm, back by Saturday same time. No sleeping allowed. He gave us his credit card and told us our bonuses were zero’d that year if we spent less than $3k.

I think my general advice for young people is to have some amount of self-respect. If you think something is a waste of your time, grifty, not helping you learn and develop skills, at least be wary of doing too much of it

why are people even excited to buy/long spacex at >$2 trillion lol trillion dollar mcap my brothers, are all of u retarded

$300k/year is not the permanent underclass. You might not be able to buy a $2M house but you’re going to be just fine and should be investing $50k/year min.

Google researchers say they can’t imagine being allowed to publish the transformer paper now. Time to return to academia?

The fact that i can find and automate decent strategies with a claude terminal is unsettling. Discretionary traders are gonna have a rougher time than ever, although there's still room for us today. maybe we're becoming the old wall street yellers in the computer era.

Wife works as a data scientist at a major tech company. She says some 10x engineers are now 100x engineers, while other people have completely missed the memo and are still doing things by hand. Huge disparity in adoption, but the adopters are massively productive.

Ironically good tweet from Yglesias. There are in fact two types of schools: Those where they discuss how to construct ideological propaganda and those where they disseminate it.

She had a tattoo across her chest that read “Fortnite” in Arabic.

“So the idea that we could have 5% or 10% GDP growth, but also, 10% unemployment, it's not logically inconsistent at all.” it literally is logically inconsistent

Isn’t it crazy that the thing a successful college dropout startup founder does is hire a bunch of people from only the most prestigious colleges

At first glance, this seems like a division between the working class and the managerial class, but it's not quite that simple. There are engineers and surgeons on the Republican side. What we're really witnessing here is a split between those who work (miners, engineers, surgeons) and those who mostly pretend to work (yoga instructors, film industry workers, social scientists).
