We get blasted with X greatest sports player of all time, or Y most important historical figure! None of those are really accurate, but are those people important and accomplished enough that they deserve someone lauding them so highly alon

The business of society is ensuring that nobody else f$%^s with my business - not telling me what to do with it. The only gray area is when I'm doing something that affects others.

That logic is garbage. We should ban cigarettes? Smoking marijuana should not be legalized (risk factor for lung cancer)? Why not alcohol too? Where else can we stretch that? Maybe we should perform evaluations on people to determine what c

That's true - I'm just painting a picture. Same thing at most rungs of the ladder and I'm sure it happens in a similar way in many other places around the world - just the way it works. It's a different world than what m

Some of what you’re saying does occur but that’s just a part of it. Come to nyc, there’s no shortage of IB associates, lawyer associates, and MC principals making 300k+ in their late 20s with a straight path upward Edit: Not talking about t

Of course - and that's the entire point. There's a single neighborhood rich people organizing to accomplish a single, small goal that they can agree on. That single neighborhood is probably spending millions of dollars in legal fe

I'm in my mid 20s. I don't really know any of the ultra-wealthy, but I have some friends who are low execs in IB, Management Consulting, lawyers, have been to virtually every club in the city by now. How to dress when you enter a

I’m very well aware of all of that - I read math books in my spare time, had a very interesting social life when I had the time for it, and had a very beautiful and amazing woman in my life at the time. I had a few months shipping a project

I have dated 2 fashion models. One was signed. They purchased Instagram followers. I didn't know what that even meant before either of them (and still don't really care). They did it ( and realistically, it's just part of tha

Stress (and honestly, a little insanity) from constant 80 hour weeks of coding lead to me splitting with what felt like the love of my life (at the time) and also lead to me leaving my first job (lost my cool with execs a few times), which

Yep, of course. And there's definitely a lower bar of a school pedigree than Harvard to get into a great company or great postgrad or whatever. I guess the general point is, a philosphy degree is really not a big handicap IF you'r

You can make that case for education in any field. A philosophy degree with a strong GPA from a highly ranked school can get your foot in the door in many career paths.

Differentiable learning is a new hot topic and this is research from an (applied) math phd from UCLA. This is valid research that may or may not advance the field - like any other research. What's the issue? Nobody is discounting that

I definitely agree; something like that may happen, though, I'm not sure how sustainable or successful that would be. I remember someone posting a famous diagram awhile back about the adoption curve of technologies, and how with ML we

I still don't think top hiring bars will lower if supply increases ( and they shouldn't). ML is a hard field with a lot of complicated math - you can definitely teach a focused individual to use it in a month or two and hire them

Who's going to hire these people? "I got a C in calculus back in school, but I took a deep learning class online and did a few of the assignments". This definitely may affect the market, but I doubt this will have an affect o

Several different points and comparisons here. Providing capital to someone does not only occur in the IPO stage. I'm not even sure how to go about refuting that statement; that's... not how finance works anywhere on the planet. P

The "comparison to fiat currency" is becoming a copypasta by now. The reality of the US dollar versus a bitcoin is so outlandishly different that it is getting painful seeing these things compared together. You might not see a rea
