Very accurate from my experience as someone who spent years at university in Europe. The default is basically soft communism that frames ambition as something to look down upon. Something vulgar
Any risk taking or excitement about the future is considered greed (or naivety)
As usual, incentives drive outcomes - when you make “being disadvantaged” your identity, you will not want to build your way out of it - you stay in the complaint to protect your identity
And sadly those ideas don’t seem to die with new generations, they’re just inherited as THE explanation for why nothing works
What’s happening in Paris and Milan is no surprise to anyone who has spent time around young people in Europe during the 2010s:
Virtually all of them were working on their 4th masters degree in social welfare, were unmarried, attended communist dinners every night, and regularly participated in riots.
Now the economy is suddenly transforming and they have nothing to show for it.

If you liked my video about why rent control fails, you'll probably like this video about an unsung modern marvel: the refrigerator. @WSJFreeEx

every time you intervene and correct your agent, you should think about how to eliminate it entirely.
in order of value:
1. categorically eliminate the problem through better architecture or choice of data structures
2. turn it into a lint rule or test so CI catches it
3. turn it into a skill or rule
4. have humans review the code to catch it (ngmi)

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.
Facts
It's great that Jeff Bezos thinks this way, because too many people who don't make money think that giving money to the government will solve a lot of their problems. They think these government programs are the answer, and it's clearly not. You can look at the federal level or at the state level, and you will see that a lot of government programs are simply waste.

Kessler syndrome is one of the most overblown concepts in space. Its peak midwit space enthusiast slop.
With proper debris mitigation protocols, collision avoidance software, decay times in LEO, and now the option for debris cleanup, it’s basically a non issue.

ALS has gradually taken away Kenneth’s ability to speak. Through Neuralink’s VOICE clinical trial, he’s exploring how a brain-computer interface designed to translate thought to speech could help restore autonomy in his daily life.

I controlled every aspect of this video. Each scene was prearranged by me before being animated. AI simply replaced the camera and crew that I can’t afford.
Ask AI to “reimagine Take On Me” and you’ll get slop. Use AI to project from your own imagination and you’ll get this.

Macrohard or Digital Optimus is a joint xAI-Tesla project, coming as part of Tesla’s investment agreement with xAI.
Grok is the master conductor/navigator with deep understanding of the world to direct digital Optimus, which is processing and actioning the past 5 secs of real-time computer screen video and keyboard/mouse actions. Grok is like a much more advanced and sophisticated version of turn-by-turn navigation software.
You can think of it as Digital Optimus AI being System 1 (instinctive part of the mind) and Grok being System 2. (thinking part of the mind).
This will run very competitively on the super low cost Tesla AI4 ($650) paired with relatively frugal use of the much more expensive xAI Nvidia hardware. And it will be the only real-time smart AI system. This is a big deal.
In principle, it is capable of emulating the function of entire companies. That is why the program is called MACROHARD, a funny reference to Microsoft.
No other company can yet do this.

What has happened today at Giga Berlin is truly beyond words!
An external union representative from IG Metall attended a works council meeting. For unknown reasons he recorded the internal meeting and was caught in action! We obviously called police and filed a criminal complaint!
