Este es, quizás, el vídeo más descarado de la Final de la Copa del Mundo. Todos vimos cómo Enzo Fernández casi mata a Pau Cubarsí, pero si te fijas, más abajo, un jugador de Argentina, Nicolás Tagliafico, ve la tremenda patada de su compañero y, sabiendo que la ha cagado, se le ocurre tirarse al suelo y fingir una lesión. Enzo recibe la tarjeta roja, pero Messi se acerca al árbitro señalando a su compañero argentino caído (a Tagliafico) diciendo que está lesionado. Afortunadamente no coló. Son delincuentes, no jugadores de fútbol.

Em maio, fui à Marcha dos Prefeitos. Não prestei tanta atenção neles. Olhei, anotei, chequei, o resto: empresas vendendo serviços para os municípios, discussões (algumas acirradas) sobre emendas orçamentárias e PAC. O resultado está no link!

Eleito no Rio, Lindbergh Farias mandou R$ 1,7 milhão em emendas para o MST no... Paraná

Cooperativas do MST são base eleitoral da namorada dele, a ex-ministra Gleisi Hoffmann

Lindbergh mandou 2,5 vezes mais pro Paraná do que pro Rio nessa rubrica

Great writing from Noah:

"Even when it comes to specific occupations, technologists are often startlingly wrong on the “complement or substitute” question. Geoffrey Hinton, one of the inventors of modern AI, famously predicted the end of human radiologists within a few years, only to see a boom in hiring and salaries for radiologists when it turned out that AI actually complemented their skills.

So how the heck are businesspeople and inventors supposed to “steer” AI toward being complementary to human workers? They obviously couldn’t predict the labor market effects of the last round of AI — at least, in the short term. So why should anyone believe that technologists have the ability to purposefully invent different forms of AI with different labor market effects?"

What I always appreciate about this fellow is that you can see him updating his opinions in real time as he learns. He never clings doggedly to the things he said six months ago or a year ago.

Sign of a bright mind. Willingness to change.

Even if I don't agree with him on everything he says and many times don't, I respect a willingness to grow and change in public and put yourself out there:

More from the article:

"Acemoglu himself has certainly not had a better record than the technologists when it comes to predicting the effects of AI on jobs. He wrote an empirical paper claiming that companies that buy robots tend to hire fewer workers, but this paper was contradicted by a very large number of follow-up studies. And he wrote a theoretical paper claiming that AI wouldn’t do much to raise productivity, but that prediction was based on arbitrarily assuming away parts of his own model.

So any panel of wise mandarins that Acemoglu and his fellow-travelers assemble in order to “steer” AI technology is likely to have absolutely no idea what they’re doing. Here’s what I wrote about that idea back in 2023:

[I]f we were to set up a panel of experts and task them with deciding which lines of research and innovation to encourage and which to discourage in order to maximize jobs and wages, they would be operating purely on gut instinct and quasi-science-fictional supposition…[I]n practice, any panel or commission set up to speed up and slow down various types of AI will be simply adding noise to the innovation process, offering rewards and punishments essentially at random. That’s not good for the development of technology as a whole, since it introduces uncertainty into the innovation equation. But it’ll also be ineffectual in terms of actually protecting human workers.

Three years later, having witnessed so many of the dire predictions of job destruction dashed on the rocks of reality, I see absolutely no reason to change my assessment. Acemoglu’s big idea — basically, to put him and his friends in charge of AI development — is not a good idea."

Segundo a PF, a turma usou uma menção a um "vão" de 2,45m para falar em código sobre o valor do imóvel: R$ 2,45 milhões

Não parece fazer sentido essa participação sem a interveniência do governo federal e da CBF. Mesmo com o apoio dessas instâncias, seria muito estranho. “Bolsa Copa” parece um novo penduricalho. Pena que mais torcedores (de preferência os torcedores mais pobres) não consigam esse privilégio. Só há um termo a ser usado: absurdo

Everyone is talking about how bad the ideas in this Piketty proposal are, and it's true: They're very bad.

But what's also notable is how *out of date* they feel. A one-world government to fight climate change? Seriously? Even Greta Thunberg has moved on to Palestine activism.

i tried rereading the da vinci code as a joke but i couldn't get past even the first chapter, it physically hurts to read dan brown's prose. there's a review / parody from 2013 that nails it
