Perhaps most of the impact could be burdened on NVIDIA investors, employees, leadership, or OpenAI investors, employees, leadership, etc., etc.


its Vitalik what do you expect? Do you think Bernie Madoff was speaking objectively when talking to his potential clients?


VB is a genius, no sweat (are you familiar with his work?). Madoff isn't in the same league at all, and it's disingenuous to imply otherwise.


Yeah this is reasonable, they really shouldn’t sort kids for opportunities in early grades. Instructors shouldn’t have to focus on whether or not a kid needs more opportunity but on the kids who are falling behind; kids who are falling behind shouldn’t be treated as defects


The kids who aren't falling behind but are bored often eventually fall behind, because they did not have enough opportunities to grow and explore.

It's not only those who are failing that need help. (And I agree they shouldn't be treated as defects)

But gifted kids do exist, and they have all sorts of existential questions and concerns that other kids don't tend to worry themselves about. Unaddressed, these kids end up miserable, depressed, and anxious... which is why it's important to pay attention to them too.

Whether Kindergarten is the right age is a different question, but to imply that only those failing need help is simply untrue.

Individualized education would be ideal, but close to impossible, for obvious reasons.


Exactly this. I have lived this experience.


So have I. That’s how I know it’s true.


How is Israel relevant to a Jewish person!?


I am dealing with family members who seriously believe this is religiously justified. And yet they’re secular Jews…


Profoundly stupid article. If affirmative action "forces firms to hire less competent workers", how could one Cambodian guy who benefited from an affirmative action policy also be partially responsible for the "dominance" of Cambodian ownership in the SoCal doughnut business?

Are you seriously going to think the nepotism involved in staffing and franchising Midwestern Dunkin' Donuts is not even more beneficial to the lower intellect/conceived through fertility treatment Choate Rosemary alums who are receiving DNKN dividends? You seriously don't think Indians seeing an insanely predatory franchising opportunity as an opportunity has anything to do with an access to communal financial support? Maybe they don't need to go through an insanely predatory loan to finance their franchise!

You should be angry at the people inheriting large sums of money who are essentially doing nothing with their lives, not the communities who are being maligned in this article for allegedly cornering or forming a cartel over a doughnut market.


Sorry but rifling through your weblog there is a ton of freak shit posted dog


This article seems openly misogynistic. There's nothing inherently "effeminate" about refusal to work, brooding over obstacles, perhaps having principles or ethics falling in the way of becoming a quant at an HFT firm. I also feel like the term "trannyism" as used in the article just seems vacuous. What is that word trying to inspire? Just because you have the ability to be stoic for work isn't making you more valuable as an individual. Does it allow you to increase your margins? Sure. But that ethical argument has absolutely nothing to do with where someone lies on this new masculinity contest everyone seems to engage in. Just because you have a Y chromosome doesn't mean you don't have Fragile X.


I'm sure the AR will do something extremely useful - perhaps draw firearms on the civilians in view.


I wish there was a better solution to this crisis. There should be a corporate tax on software companies solely to fund open source efforts or something of the like.

Some open source projects have merged into one umbrella organization to better solicit sponsors but I don't think that will lead to anything fruitful, more so lead to a thing like Canonical where there's a profit motivation to the project


This is a wider problem than just software. We need to find a way for people to be able to afford doing things they want but don't profit them directly. Pure capitalism has too many bad incentives for enshittification of software, entertainment, food, and so much more.
