Wait, is making people smarter BAD? Should we make people dumber...? I mean really it's up to the parents.
In a leaked email, Jeffrey Epstein discussed genetically engineering Black people to make them smarter, discussing how Whites had evolutionary pressures that rewarded long-term thinking over rapid muscle development. Follow: @AFpost

Computation and energy must be unrestricted if we are to live in a free society and flourishing civilization.
Some lawmakers in other states are flirting with laws that restrict access to computing power based on who you are, how much you use or what you’re building. @DispatchAlerts @taylordbarkley

So who do you learn from The best people to learn from are 1. People who are a level or two above you. They’re better but still remember what it’s like to be you 2. Masters who also can write/teach well. Rare but there are high achievers who can actually teach
One of the funny things about talking to ultra high achievers is their advice is sometimes absolutely terrible They’ve engrainrd so many fucking skills and good habits you haven’t even fucking realized exist They’re operating at a level where what your grinding they already

The gap between the ultra rich and the middle class has never been smaller. Billionaires today live the exact same lives as the rest of us. They use the same iPhone, scroll the same social media feeds and ask women “may i meet you” just like the rest of us.

You definitely don't need to be a gold medalist of IMO to be a great quant, but also don't be fooled by this quote. It's the quote of someone that graduated from MIT, finished PhD at the age of 23 and gave non-trivial proofs for Differential Geometry in his 20s. If he said that

A strong need to explain why others need you more than you need them suggests that you actually need them more than you realize.
The male belief that women need men more than men need women is exactly why we have low birth rates and women are losing interest in marriage. Women want to be equals or they choose instead to be alone. That is what happens when women have choice. Men cry and moan and demand

Even if you assume that intelligence is not a hereditary phenomena, I think it should still be possible to make it a genetic phenomenon. They should be focused on making that happen - it would MASSIVELY reduce the costs of education, & anyone made out of biology could
Hilarious. After Elsevier did a forced woke takeover that caused almost the entire review board to resign (and start a new journal), Intelligence journal is now publishing commies saying that research is bad and censorship is good actually.

The first study referenced here concedes school funding doesn't measurably improve learning. We should figure out what the mechanism of improving life outcomes actually is and maximize that, rather than put more money into a system with no knowledge of how it works.
Sad to see people eagerly eat up this viral post that assumes correlation is causation. The causal effect of school funding on outcomes is heavily studied in economics. Giving poor schools more money improves learning & economic outcomes. Sorry to burst your bubble.

"There are a ton of sophisticated/skilled market participants that solely exist now in crypto to extract from the online crypto bros who are unemployable and can't do anything else." ZIRP was a great time. But all good things doth find their end.🙏
Had this in my drafts and forgot about it... The old crypto is dead. It has taken a long time to finally arrive at a place where almost everyone who has spent some time in crypto is unwilling to hold tokens with no underlying fundamentals/credible growth story. Maybe this

>> [C]hina's birth rate has been in decline since the late 20th century, largely due to the one-child policy This is why I think China's birth rate will increase rapidly now. In the West, young people are ideologically opposed to children. In China, it was authoritarian policy.

@n00buntu Back in the 70s Larry Niven invented the concept of the autodoc, a fully automated medical device into which you would place a sick or injured human, close the lid, and the machine would analyze, heal and repair the person.

> I can't even draw that tho Yes you can, sir! 😄 I'm willing to bet the anatomically accuracy of your human drawings would be great. And with Gray's Anatomy as reference, you'd be completely accurate. Artistic refinement is all that may be lacking but that's not vital.

On surgery by robots: all these skills will "eventually" be understood by capable machines. But I'd rather not hand a scalpel to a surgeon who can't yet consistently draw an anatomically correct human. 😅
Do you believe every human can do this surgery? Robots will continue to improve until morale improves. Use a human surgeon if you want, who cares. Let them use robots.

@Teslaconomics Seriously Elon, do you actually think a robot can do this? Keep believing in humanity...

It is an imperative for America to start “overproducing” robots ASAP We are quickly reaching the point where the AI is good enough at which point the demand for robots near instantly jumps from tens of thousands to hundreds of millions But scaling robot production isn’t as
@ruima Well said. The most likely scenario is that China will end up over producing humanoid hardware since it’ll take longer for AI to arrive to make them productive. People dump on US humanoid manufacturers as being way behind China, but in fact there’s no point ramping up a

“[Perpetuals] is a product that, similar to poker sites or casino sites, has so few winners. The PNLs are horrific, literally everyone is losing.” 😭
As much as social media has devolved to people just shilling their bag endlessly, let me give my take as someone who has no horse in the race. I agree with WhiteWhale that an event like 10/10 exposed yet again how shitty perpetual futures are. It relies on 24/7 liquidity which
