@ChiefScientist @headinthebox yes!

@ChiefScientist looks magical

Mt. Shasta over Memorial day weekend was incredible.

But why?

[Natalia Burina @Nale]

@joelle_emerson @ashleymayer I predict that Kirkland & Ellis will fail because building software is a totally different core competency. AI doesn't change that fact. Good test case for people who disagree with me and think that AI just killed software engineering.

@daniel_s_larson @bobwebberlawyer That's great on paper. As long as he is enjoying life all is good. Laura Delano (Harvard grad) ended up with a dependency on prescription psychiatric medications in order to keep up with the demands of high performance.

My immigrant parents didn't allow me to play sports. In retrospect they had a point.

From the article:
"𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜 𝗖𝗘𝗢 𝗦𝗮𝗺 𝗔𝗹𝘁𝗺𝗮𝗻, in an interview with Commonwealth Bank of Australia CEO Matt Comyn on Tuesday, 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 “𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴” 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗔𝗜’𝘀 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁, a reversal from his June 2025 warnings that entry-level roles were at serious risk.

According to the Yale Budget Lab, there's no broad, measurable AI shock to the U.S. job market (yet anyways).

@sbilstein @whelan_boyd Great to hear. Did you feel like you had to make any tradeoffs to play? How intense was it?

[Natalia Burina @Nale]

My parents are not Indian. Why did he drag Indians into this ?!!!

[The Alex Nowrasteh @AlexNowrasteh]

Native-born Americans should assimilate to Indian immigrant norms.

[Natalia Burina @Nale]

@AlexNowrasteh What race bating are you doing? I'm not Indian.

[Natalia Burina @Nale]

@tunguz @LeylaKuni but that's not monetizable!

[Natalia Burina @Nale]

@cjandshea I like this approach.

[Natalia Burina @Nale]

@alexpotato @KDimitratos crazy!

[Natalia Burina @Nale]

@EdDaWord A childhood of athletic grinding is no better than a childhood of academic grinding.

[Natalia Burina @Nale]

@tunguz this is the way

[Natalia Burina @Nale]

@headinthebox yes that's the problem. I want kids recreational sports where it's more about teamwork, physical health and socializing. Not necessarily winning at all cost.

[Natalia Burina @Nale]

@FormerlyWTC Playing sports recreationally is great but demanding professional athlete commitment to do so is insane for kids.

[Natalia Burina @Nale]

@sloeginpsyop kids are so young for this
