@KJVPopulist @RealSKeshel GA is growing, PA is shrinking

Need to look at paths without Georgia.
Nothing about that state screams future GOP stronghold. I think GOP nominee can hold it in 2028 but past 2032 it looks terrible.

If current trends holds, Republicans will be able to carry the presidency by just winning North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona without any help from the blue wall swing states or Nevada This would shift the premier swing state from being PA to GA immediately.

@CoreyWriting They need to aspire to participate in Olympic competitions in maths, physics and informatics when in middle school and high school, which I don’t see it happening anytime soon

@HabCorpLinguist @poorlyreasoned haha sarcasm?
But Liz Branch or Bridget Bade were confirmed with fairly comfortable margins right? I doubt they’ll be easy to get..

@poorlyreasoned Amul Thapar (52-44), Andrew Oldham (50-49), and Gregory Katsas (50-48) are notoriously easy clerkships to get.

I interview high school seniors for my alma mater so have a pretty good insight into the preferences of top SoCal students.
Here is what I'm seeing as of now:
-Stanford is ahead of Harvard
-MIT is shockingly about co equal to Harvard
-Princeton & Yale are way behind Stanford/Harvard/MIT
-UCLA is now ahead of Berkeley/USC and on par with some of the lower Ivies

@QuinnyPig The biggest nonsense is their 15% assumed growth haircut

Does Amazon still do “year 1 vests 5%” for their comp where they massively backload their nonsense?
Theo - t3.gg@theo
Apparently a LOT of you are dumb so let me clarify: Vesting cliff = time until you start vesting (usually 1 year) Fully vested = time until you're done vesting (usually 4 years) There isn't an alternative definition. If you use these terms differently, you're wrong :)

@ReubenR80027912 Is it though? I feel like once you get 1 million, compounding starts to show its work. You don’t really need to make 500k to get to 1 million
English
This isn’t even taking into account that tax benefits of 401ks don’t exist until you’re in 50s/60s. You are literally removing the entire advantages of these by doing FIRE
But mostly: absent TC north of $500k (maybe 650k!), your investment window is too short for FIRE to work
English
FIRE is the dumbest shit imaginable. Forget all the (correct) arguments about enjoying life while young: mathematically, it doesn’t work
You are simply not earning enough *annually* ages 25-40 to fuel investments to hit a target number that’s feasible for a 45yr glide path
bumbadum@bumbadum14
FIRE is probably the most soul crushing lifestyle I have ever heard of and it's a terrible indictment on our society. Some of the most competent and intelligent people are structuring themselves to live as minimally as possible so they can check out of society before they're 40. Many of these people are unbelievably hard workers and incredibly intelligent. But they are so disillusioned so all of their potential goes to waste because there's no point to work for more.

Feynman: "We know a lot more than we can prove" 🤔
Deng: "For me personally, an important reason is that I don't particularly like pure theory. I feel that in this world, the truths that can be rigorously proven are actually very limited, but the truths you can feel are very numerous. Many principles are more like a feeling or an energy, and it's hard to express them completely in mathematical form. But in mathematics and theoretical computer science, your conclusion must be rigorously provable, written on paper, before people will accept it. In AI, as long as you observe certain phenomena through experiments and intuitively feel they are correct, even if you can't fully convince everyone, you can gradually build your own system of understanding. This approach to understanding the world through intuition and experimentation appeals to me greatly. And this approach lets you discover patterns much faster than disciplines that rely on rigorous proofs."

@Mediolanum538 @politicalmath @michael_k_woods Consumer market is not that important nowadays. Even Microsoft is largely given up on that and focus on cloud + enterprise.

@politicalmath @michael_k_woods Saying this a few weeks after Apple blew up the entire cheap laptop market with Neo is incredibly dumb my dude

"Tim Cook took Apple from $350B to $4T"
So? That's a 11X market cap increase. In the same time, MSFT saw a 14X increase, Google saw a 20X increase, Amazon did 28X, Facebook did 35X. We're not even going to talk about NVidia.
Cook led Apple through a period where every tech company expanded. Yay for him?
In the meantime, Apple had the most compelling pre-AI experience in Siri. They had everything! They had mountains of user data, audio and transcription training data, the biggest and most sophisticated user data network in the world *by far*.
And they blew it. They should be so far ahead of the competition on AI that it makes their competitors fall into despair. Instead, they are a non-player in the biggest tech revolution since mobile, maybe even since the internet.
They could have leveraged their data advantage to create astonishingly powerful models. They make their own silicon, they could have beat NVidia to the punch on hardware if Cook had any foresight.
Instead they still just make high-end devices and now also they make TV shows and won an Oscar for a movie no one saw. I'm sorry, but that's underwhelming.

Any of you wear Brooks running shoes? They any good? I've walked my current New Balances into the ground, so I need to replace them. Not sure if I'll stick with NB or switch to a new brand. A couple Brooks styles caught my eye, but they are 💳💳💳. So I'm wondering.
