The fact UN climate conferences are not held on Zoom meetings is all the proof that you need that the “climate crisis” is a government-sponsored scam.

Kkkkkkkk perfil oficial do ministério da cultura postando essa merda 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This quoted post is unavailable.
The fundamental concept of economics, its cornerstone, is that all resources are scarce. Academic careers worldwide grew as an area where brains and hands would be trained to make the future a little better, but that hasn't happened. Those in academia know very well what I'm talking about—whether they like it or not—and those outside know it too because they see the same problem from the outside. They can't complain about the path they chose to take, nor can they blame others either.

High School Priorities for My Kids
While most high schools are still optimizing for a world that no longer exists, these are my non-negotiables:
1. Classical Education
Great books. Philosophy. Rhetoric. Writing. Debate. Logic.
The ability to think clearly, argue precisely, and write with force. Be more human.
2. Build with AI
Agentic coding. Workflows. AI agents. Engineering.
Not “using ChatGPT.” Making things of value.
3. Entrepreneurship
$100k+ by 18.
The only durable path to wealth is building a business.
In the world that’s coming, two things will separate the winners
The ability to think deeper and more independently than the models (aka be more human)
The ability to wield the models to create value better than everyone else
I want my kids to inherit the wisdom of the past, master the tools of the future, and have the courage and imagination to build something entirely their own♥️

I still haven't seen a satisfactory answer to how Mathematics education should adapt to the advent of AI.
When we look at elegant techniques like the Feynman trick for integration, now criticized as "mathematical acrobatics", the value isn't just about arriving at the final numerical answer. The true value is the cognitive thrill of watching a creative method click.
It is precisely this creative spark that inspires young minds to fall in love with Mathematics.
How do we get future generations to love Mathematics?

basically this
The White underclass is a miracle, and probably why the West has succeeded.
Thomas Frank wrote “What’s the Matter with Kansas” to explore why poor Whites don’t vote for socialist policies that would (narrowly, in the short-term) benefit them. Of course he concluded it was about racism, as he was predetermined to do by his ideology.
But I actually think he highlighted an incredibly important fact: poor White Americans, uniquely among underclasses globally, don’t vote for socialism.
The typical dynamic is rich people trying to keep what they have and poor people trying to take it. But the American lower-class White does not behave this way, because he has a deontological aversion to government interference. The collection of attitudes and beliefs described as “rugged individualism” are often assessed in terms of how they impact the individual, but I think it’s much more important to consider how they impact a nation.
(White) America has the world’s least resentful or grasping underclass. This is a treasure. They should be preserved and rewarded. Many might be net-negative fiscally in a narrow sense, but they are hugely net-positive if you consider their votes. Trump famously said “I love the poorly educated.” He was right to say this. Every nation has an elite. No other nation has such a high quality of virtuous common people.

No. This is the 4th industrial revolution now. The careerism game is over. You will no longer be an employee. Employees are too expensive and are heavy burdens. You must pivot to a contractor if you want to have temporary gigs. No one cares if you have a gap between gigs, they just care about your credentials and portfolio. So, the calculus for climbing corporate ladders is gone and replaced by a new harder thing. You can take time off to raise your kid, no one will care, but you better actually have a valuable skill to contribute to the global economy because no one will keep you due to sacrifices you made for seniority. Read these books. It'll help.

the /statechart skill in pstack v0.15.36 is now stable and ready for use! it's best combined with /create-formal-verification-skill to abstractly model state machines and distributed systems to find bugs.
the skill contains a mini tlc compiler that parses, lowers to a small IR, and has a backend that outputs mmd syntax. if you want you can also ask your agent to create charts in whatever style you like, the skills tells it to use pele.run/ which is very themeable so you can make blueprints, hand drawn encyclopedia illustrations or whatever you like
here's a chart of the /statechart skill and 2 real bugs i just found. try it out and let me know what you think!
Único partido de esquerda honesto é o PCO.
Sete minutos. Foi o tempo entre o TSE confirmar a derrota de Flávio Bolsonaro e a PF pedir a Alexandre de Moraes o passaporte dele. Moraes autorizou na mesma noite.
Quem acha que isso é a tal “luta contra o fascismo” está sendo enganado. É, pura e simplesmente, perseguição política contra quem teve quase 60 milhões de votos.
E quem comanda a caçada? Um ministro cuja mulher tem mais de R$200 milhões em contratos com empresas de Daniel Vorcaro, o banqueiro do escândalo do Banco Master. Com que moral esse juiz julga alguém por corrupção?
É a avacalhação da República. Uma ofensa à inteligência do povo brasileiro.

Two and a half years from this.
We are announcing three new discoveries in mathematics, computer science, and physics about harmonic analysis, complexity theory, and quantum field theory.

Lembrando…
1. Queda na Bolsa + subida do dólar = mais inflação, menos consumo e menos produção
2. Isso aumenta rombo fiscal que aumenta endividamento e juros
3. Isso diminui investimentos diretos, empregos e diminui ainda mais a produção e o consumo
There's a saying about Brazil, which is that it's always the land of the future because it never quite gets there. 😢😭
There's a saying about Brazil, which is that it's always the land of the future because it never quite gets there. I don't like that saying but - boy - is it true today. The Real had a real chance to close the gap to my $/BRL 4.50 fair value. That's over.

Parents, don't raise your children to expect that they can apply for a job. It's over. Entrepreneurship or being a conditional basic income data serf. It's the 4th industrial revolution. You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. No one is coming to save you.
Jack Weis has applied to more than 2,300 jobs since he graduated from Princeton in 2024 with his Ph.D. in chemical engineering. He still doesn’t have a job. on.wsj.com/4sfxSLc
As long as AI is compared to processes not designed for AI use, it's highly likely to produce poor results. However, if the process is created specifically for AI use, it's highly likely to yield positive results. Traditional teaching methods don't accommodate the use of AI; more collaborative approaches are necessary, and new systems are needed. In these past four years using generative AI, what I've seen is that AI promotes long-term learning over extended periods. This is very different from the usual teaching process of bimesters or semesters with disconnected learning packages. And I'm not talking about AI to answer questions or help with learning; I'm talking about working alongside AI to build processes that a person doesn't yet master but will master in the long term.

Homeschooling families sometimes get asked how their kids will handle the "real world."
Odd, since they spend their days in it.
Progress on AI policy is moving at a slow pace, while AI is moving like a 100-meter dash. Even with all the progress in AI tools and the way students use them, universities are adapting very slowly. As a PhD student, I feel the risk on both sides: rigid policies and no policy at all. Institutions need policies flexible enough to absorb the daily evolution of AI. In 2023, UNESCO found that fewer than 10% of the schools and universities it surveyed had formal AI guidance; in 2025, 19% of the institutions it surveyed had a formal AI policy. The questions were different, but formal guidance is still the exception.
