The university system is the most elaborate and expensive scam of all time. Most people come out of it dumber and less qualified than they were going in. It does not teach any useful skills. You do not need it to succeed in life. It bankrupts millions of young Americans and gives

You can learn anything online for free these days. Universities have basically become social clubs.
That said, at least the technical disciplines do test your ability to do difficult homework for 4 years in a row.

Traditional media have used the term “far-right” so frequently & hyperbolically that it no longer means anything.
What use of that term by media actually represents is the immense ideological gap between the effete elite and the people.

with the AI scraping wars finally heating up, I expect the web to become less open and usable
more things like reddit forcing their app, twitter blocking users without an account, discord being unindexable
unsure of any good solutions to this atm

The citizens of France are defenseless.
They voted for this, but it is still sad to watch this play out exactly as many warned would happen for many years.
Amy Mek@AmyMek· Jun 30, 2023France has fallen...
Police are unable to control the migrant and left-wing riots taking place across the country. French media has surrendered and cannot keep track of the number of towns and cities across the country being looted, set on fire, and destroyed.

Where do they get all the guns? Individual gun ownership in Europe is extremely limited, but not zero.
Most of these guns must therefore be stolen or illegally imported.

One crazy thing here is that you can explain 100% of the gap by 1) real vs nominal, 2) labor force participation, and 3) time spent working. On an output-per-hour growth basis, Japan and the US have identical numbers over that period.

@elonmusk · Jun 30, 2023
All economies are just productivity per person times population. Japan is losing population at twice rate of creation (~1.6M deaths last year vs ~0.8M births).
At a granular level, economic output fluctuates dramatically, with Sunday being terrible & Monday being great.

CBP RESPONDS: A CBP official tells me a Border Patrol boat encountered a group of migrants with several small children, and that in order to quickly apprehend them and get them out of the heat, a BP agent cut the razor wire to access the area “consistent w/ federal law”.

I think this is mostly right.
- LLMs created a whole new layer of abstraction and profession.
- I've so far called this role "Prompt Engineer" but agree it is misleading. It's not just prompting alone, there's a lot of glue code/infra around it. Maybe "AI Engineer" is ~usable,

First they told us that we shouldn’t try to make peace because Putin would never negotiate. Now they tell us that we shouldn’t try to make peace because Putin *will* negotiate.
Michael McFaul@McFaul· Jun 30, 2023This week we learned that when faced with the choice of escalating with force against or negotiating with a foe, Putin chose the latter. That's an important lesson for NATO regarding new military assistance. Stop fretting about escalation. Send ATACMs now.

Natural human tendency is to want to negotiate when you think you’re losing, rather than when you think you’re winning.
Problem is that circumstances can switch from winning to losing very fast.

INSIGHT: Twitter is definitely making it harder to scrape by requiring you to be logged in to view the website however, motivated actors can still get around it.
With tools like BeautifulSoup, which only parse HTML and can’t interact with JavaScript, you wouldn’t be able to

Of course.
To mitigate this, we are also tightening limits on how much data can be downloaded per account, especially new accounts.

1. Scraping is already disallowed by T&C.
2. The scraping orgs dgaf & mask their IPs through proxy servers or through orgs that appear legit. For example, a recent massive scraping operation originating from Oracle IP addresses was just using their servers as a laundromat.
3. We absolutely will take legal action against those who stole our data & look forward seeing them in court, which is (optimistically) 2 to 3 years from now.

Please advise people to be wary of margin loans. Tesla has always been a high variability stock, often with no obvious rhyme or reason.
We are confident about long-term value creation, but cannot control the manic-depressive nature of the stock market.

Twitter should have game difficulty levels like Diablo 4:

2. Veteran
3. Nightmare
4. Torment
Plus, Diablo's hardcore mode: if you lose, your character is deleted.
I'm choosing "adventurer" & playing in super chill mode. Some of yall are full-time on "torment" 🤣
