@WSJ There is zero need for financial advisors. It's a rent seeking profession at this point.

Some students and faculty are panicking about this news. But all it means: if you're in the top of computer science majors, you're still OK. If you're in the bottom you're not. The idea is to do something that (1) is useful and (2) you're good at. So if CS is your thing, that's good. If it's not, do something else. Don't pick a major or develop expertise based on today's trends. Chasing after something you're either not good at or don't care about is a recipe for failure. Lindy fields develop skills that have been relevant for centuries and aren't going away with AI. Most Lindy - core hasn't changed, unlikely to change any time soon, teach skills that are transferable and widely applicable 1. Mathematics 2. Logic 3. Probability & Statistics - the basis of all science 4. Physics - Newton is 340 years old and still the basis of engineering. Used to be Lindy - but went woke 1. Classics 2. Philosophy — killed by analytic philosophy and wokeness. 3. Rhetoric — Central from Athens through the Renaissance. Replaced by Communications departments studying TikTok. 4. Theology — Founded the university system itself. Bologna, Paris, Oxford all started here. Functionally extinct / marginalized. Least Lindy - no staying power 1. DEI studies — Administrative ideology dressed up as scholarship. Already collapsing. 2. Algorithmic fairness — A subfield whose entire existence based on a political climate. Takes something objective and makes subjective. 3. Differential privacy — Same as #2. 4. Science & Technology Studies — "Science is a social construct" has a limited runway once people remember they need bridges that don't fall down. 5. Computational Social Science — Fitting LLMs to survey data and calling it a field.

A CS professor at a mid-tier state university just sent me their internal placement data Fall 2023: 89% of their graduates had offers by graduation. Average starting salary $94k Spring 2024: 71% placement rate. Average dropped to $78k Fall 2024: 43% placement rate. Those who got offers averaged $61k Spring 2025: 31% of graduates employed in software roles six months out This semester? 19% placement rate and falling Faculty meeting last Tuesday got heated when the department chair suggested "pivoting curriculum toward AI collaboration skills" One professor stood up and said "we're teaching students to build the systems that eliminate their own jobs" The career fair last month had 12 companies show up. Half were MLMs and insurance sales Students keep asking why they're learning data structures when the job postings all say "3+ years experience with LLM integration" Professor told me the hardest part is the parent meetings "My daughter took out $140k in loans for this degree and she's working at Starbucks" Meanwhile the university is still running ads promising "94% job placement rates in high-growth tech careers" The disconnect is crushing everyone involved Faculty knows the industry has fundamentally shifted but the marketing department is still selling the 2019 dream These kids mortgaged their futures for careers that evaporated while they were in class

@Bonecondor Early on a date one time, I said I felt Buddhism was nihilistic. The date did not go well after that (she liked Buddhism a lot I guess... but also was a fundamentally unhappy person, so, well...)

Massage therapist, quietly, with her hands so far into my iliac crest it should count as a date: you know, the nature of buddhism is really such that it’s inherently nihilistic Me, seeing stars, tensor fasciae latae spasming wildly: pain is like being shot with one arrow

seems obvs to me that mamdani gets far because of his charm. why do "male self improvement" types always focus on things like lookmaxxing instead of personalitymaxxing or charmmaxxing?

@scheminglunatic just look at leibniz, goethe and russell. they excelled at everything. knowledge has become stratified so midwits believe that you can only excel in one domain.

yarvin is not very smart and if youre the kind of 34k follower account who says "we could have had so many yarvins if only gen y/z programmers didnt transition [and then 41%]" thats just gonna make me want to start actively supporting more transition despite my misogyny.

@justinskycak You have to apply it novel ways. Repeatedly tackling the same problem will give you a false sense of confidence.
