Parents have complained for decades that getting into an elite independent school in Manhattan is harder than getting into Harvard; for the wealthy parents who are competing to spend about $70,000 a year, it’s an infamously complicated and time-intensive game of tutoring and networking that involves preschoolers sitting for assessments and “interviews” just before nap time. But the February 2026 notification week for children who applied to kindergartens in the city was more brutal than expected. All month long, in Facebook groups like “Moms of the Upper East Side” and “UES Mommas,” parents of 4- and 5-year-olds had been venting about misguided expectations as they came to terms with getting wait-listed and rejected at the schools where they genuinely believed their children would soon enroll. “Any other moms feeling disappointed in the private school results today?” asked one mother who struck out in the process. A steady stream of commiseration filled the comments section. “So much hard work and time put in for a disappointing outcome.” “Many tears have been shed,” wrote another. “Not sure how to proceed.” “Confused as to who got in,” added one well-connected observer. Another parent wrote, “It’s a bloodbath this year.” Matt Stieb reports on why admissions to New York’s private kindergartens was unusually competitive this cycle: nymag.visitlink.me/WqTLzK

In 20 years, vibe coders will look at the Linux kernel repo the way we look at the pyramids. In awe, unable to imagine how they managed to drag all those giant stones and pile them up in the middle of the desert.

I hate that Microsoft might be vibecoding Windows, but it's inevitable
microsoft laid off everyone who knows how c++ works so now they just prompt gpt 5 to fix the codebase. 30% of windows is written by ai. that is why your printer drivers were deleted to make room for 4gb of copilot telemetry
they rewrote office in typescript. file explorer and the notification center are now just bloated electron instances that take 3 seconds to render a right click menu
the taskbar and start menu were rebuilt from scratch in react just to shove ads and "recommended" bloatware in your face. it uses more ram than world of warcraft did in 2004
copilot is being forced into notepad and paint. they are forcing you to test it in your basic tools
windows search isn't looking for your files. it's a bing wrapper designed to sell you a microsoft 365 subscription while you're desperately trying to find a local pdf
the widgets section is another bloat that nobody asked for. edge webview was designed to keep your cpu usage high enough that you're forced to switch to linux
over all of that, the task manager barely works in the latest updates
nobody at microsoft knows what "win32" means anymore. they replaced their support forums with an ai that just tells you to "try restarting" if your kernel panics

For that matter, Microsoft Word 2002 used about 25MB of RAM. Now Word uses 10x that much memory to display the same 584kb document. What the heck is it doing to that text now that it wasn't doing before?

No one has an answer. I keep asking and getting crickets, none of these people responded to my request for what they think is quality prose or high level writing. It exists and is obvious yet mysteriously can never be accessed
Malcolm Harris@BigMeanInternet
If LLMs can write books well then where are the books? Many many people have ideas and are just lacking the writing follow-through that the machine can do. They can publish stuff online too. If it's $200 to execute now, what's the hold up?

The funniest black pill of all is seeing how our elites acknowledge that the singular focus on the value form has led to capitalism erecting an unsustainable existence, then come to the conclusion that this means they have to simply financialize more things
Mats Nilsson@mazzenilsson
A radical idea was voiced on the sidelines of the WEF: it's time to strictly account for the very basis of our existence. According to speaker Lindsey Hooper, water, soil, and oxygen should not be infinitely accessible. It is proposed to classify them as assets and put them on a global balance. So, the stories about having to pay for a breath of air soon will no longer be gloomy jokes, but a very real prospect.”

I need everyone to get better standards. You shouldn’t be reading books penned by AI. You shouldn’t be watching brain-rotting videos. We need to consume quality things, made by human beings. A world where everyone is addicted to slop is a bleak, dystopian place.

What happens when you can run an LLM on a rat neuron organoid? Are you more likely to believe it when it tells you it has conscious experience? Less likely? About the same?

I have just been informed that one of the teams competing in the AI Grand Prix is using a biological computer built with cultured mouse brain cells to control their drone. At first look, this seems against the spirit of the software-only rules. On second thought, hell yeah.

This policy led to the US becoming the freest, richest, and most powerful country in the history of the world. Everyone wanted to come here, to be American, for their children to be American, and to thrive as America thrived. You would destroy all of that out of racist spite.
Stephen Miller@StephenM
In America, for generations now, the policy has been that anyone who would economically benefit from moving to the US can do so, exercise the franchise in the US and their children, the moment they are born, will be full American citizens with all the rights and benefits therein.

Reminds me of one of my favorite social science studies! Researchers found that white parents unconsciously bias towards tests-only admissions if they think their kids will compete with URMs, but pivot to 'whole person' if they think their kids will go vs model-minority strivers.
Soumitra Shukla@soumitrashukla9
This is a bizarre and racist framing of Asians as grade grinders with little creativity and white students as passion-driven folk pursuing diverse interests. Excellence should not be race-coded via intellectually lazy arguments.
