Once you understand the Way broadly, you can see it in all things.

“Mishima says that Rilke wrote somewhere that modern people can no longer die a romantic or dramatic death. Instead, they die privately and clinically, in a hospital room, like a bee shut inside a cell. Whether death comes from illness or a traffic accident, Mishima says, modern death has no drama, and we live in an age where the “heroic death” has disappeared.”

Mishima was kinda right

@yacinelearning @imrahulmaddy Ratio

Elon's take is correct. In India there used to be a barrier, RFs and Predocs at research labs used to code and the "researchers" used to ideate and write the papers. This separation is vanishing now. Almost every researcher I know in the LLM space is coding their ideas up.

You should be doing some madly long walk on Sunday mornings to reflect and consider

@teodorio You can understand why there’s been so many wars when guys just want to sit around in the sun and eat

There is NOTHING better on this Earth than European summer. Literally nothing. I get it now, the literature, civilizations, wars, all stems down from gentle UV light, mild 39 degrees and fermented grapes.

@growing_daniel Is Obama not Gen X?

It’s incredible that we’ve never had a Gen X president and if we play our cards right we can skip the paint chip generation entirely

@alpaysh Didn’t know this was a step towards the singularity?

BREAKING: Elon Musk hires Nicki Minaj as Chief Gyatt Officer at SpaceX

this too.

experimenting with things for IG.

Euro summer is a thing in Ireland too guys 🤓

@EndorsiVal Completely agree But on an economics level, makes no sense anymore to offer further education at this level. Someone who is at or below the average (in general) should be able to do SOMETHING and get a job straight after. That could be a trade or manual labour or something.

@johnway welp tuff on whoever is expecting to be average and get rewarded. Their mentality is cooked from the start

A friend of a friend finished his CS degree this year, and he literally just can’t get a job. Like at all. Kind of surreal that you finish uni and then just go work in a shop or something. Crazily weird times we are in.

The wisdom of crowds vs the madness of crowds

@EndorsiVal Yeah but if you are the complete average, both in results and in what school you attend, it has historically been the norm that you will get a job in that field. But not anymore.

Definately a skill issue/wishful thinking and a lack of understanding that shit ain’t sweet. Most cs majors think a job/internship will just fall into their lap and they don’t do shit but their school work. Sure for some people they just stumble into internships and jobs, but not the norm

@hopes_revenge Why do people on reddit....use eclipsis like that....?

@totlsota We simply have more intelligent labour than ever, without adding more humans to the market.

the world is speeding up because intelligence per second is exploding humans experience time through a slow biological processor AI runs on a different clock we are feeling this "intelligence relativity" experience already and it is accelerating

@TheMindScourge Cool way to look at tourism, and why most natives are inherently against it even if it seems irrational. Looking at Barcelona or Japan here.

If Athens’ golden age was today, and not 2400 years in the past, Pericles would have built a forest of skyscrapers, because that is the prestige style But today, Athens’ primary market proposition is that it has preserved the urban environment of the past. That’s what people want to see when they go there. They don’t want to see Foster + Partners futurism. So the local economy depends on keeping things the same But this also means that Athens can’t grow. It’s just stuck in place. It’ll look the same in 2200 as it does today. Now, personally, I like that. Athens is beautiful. When I go there, I want to see the historical architecture. But I don’t live there. I live somewhere that’s growing and changing. It’ll look completely different 10 years from now, let alone 200. Tourism is a conservative phenomenon. It wants things to stay the same. Which is a problem as tourism becomes more and more central an activity, and core to the economic prosperity of the places commanding the highest tourist interest. It’s a kind of trap. The profit motive tells you to double down on the winning hand. It also means that all the things that are distinct and interesting about your particular city or region will be preserved. But the opportunity costs are also substantial. You never get to change and find out what else you might be. Mass tourism stops that process of gradual living change. It’s a form of cryopreservation. One particular moment in time gets flash frozen and preserved for all eternity

@scaling01 How does this change though? Like what practical actions would they define as "good enough" before the average dude can get this?

doomers are going to love this sentence btw it's been 3 months since claude mythos was deployed internally, meaning that time-horizons have almost doubled again

Scottish Gaelic and Breton should be out by next week, then Cornish and Manx the week after. And then there will be no more languages ever, celtic only.
