@RJDAIGOGO 但是MIT/Princeton 本科就有这种一个班可能十几二十个人这种，说明确实小班教学是可能的。但确实，他们一年也只招一千多个本科生，北大一年招四千多个。但是为啥宁愿搞非升即走，都不愿意多招一些教授呢？

[Liu Yang @yangliuwillow02]

@shibainu_vodka 这种真的很让人无语

[Liu Yang @yangliuwillow02]

@RJDAIGOGO 以及是因为中国大众眼里的“出路”太少，导致大家都一股脑涌进某几个狭窄的赛道吗？我还记得之前有一个北大卖猪肉的帖子，下面很多人在嘲讽他不应该北大毕业去卖猪肉。但是人家也干得挺���的呀，这个社会应该少一点固化思维，少一点捧高踩低和论资排辈，这样人们才有更多的自由。

[Liu Yang @yangliuwillow02]

@RJDAIGOGO 我觉得你说的非常有道理！

[Liu Yang @yangliuwillow02]

@sukie234 太有同感了，我跟你差不多，一路卷上来，但是真的去问自己想要什么，热爱什么，我却完全不知道。我感觉自己一直在扮演一种人生，扮演别人口中想要的那种人生，但在这之下，是一片荒芜。我总觉得自己是一个空心人。

And I’d say you see much of this same pedigree and “god-naming” almost ubiquitous in academic conferences too… which makes me really uncomfortable…

It feels ironic to me that on Chinese social media, large-scope high-impact reflection could only ever reach its climax after the Fields Medal announcement. If it takes the absolute peak of worldly achievement for us to make the questioning of meritocracy and the Chinese education system be heard, it frustrates me as to how much longer are we going to wait before we actually change?

Hong Wang’s time at Peking University might not have been filled with endless pain, but it certainly pales in comparison to the life she found in France. I’m not saying the Chinese education system is simply "bad." It is a high pressure cooker that compresses people in a single dimension. If you aren't the most outgoing, the top student academically, or the absolute best at something, you are left with an imbalanced sense of pain. You feel invisible, spending your life placing yourself in the shadow of relentless comparison, starving a well-rounded soul.

Of course, we should praise Hong Wang. Her success is extraordinary. But I truly wish that her true value as a role model becomes not just about winning medals or publishing brilliant research, but about how she found a career she genuinely loves, fought for it, and allowed that very work to nourish her spirit.

If you struggle through a job, and even in reaching the mountaintop you flatten yourself to fit a mold you hate, no amount of money or prestige will compensate for the quiet damage done to your selfhood.

I hope, above all else, that everyone can find a life that nourishes them.

I’d like to remind myself of it every minute every day.

Underrated life advice: A good life is built by simply doing uncomfortable things sooner. The delayed conversation gets harder. The ignored problem gets bigger. The small repair gets more expensive. Peace is never found through avoidance. It’s found through direct early action.

@stanfordnlp @karpathy That’s very true! I’m 20 hours in and I’m still on assignment 1…

[Braeden @BraedendotTECH]

I'm 33 and I think Claude Code is melting my brain.

For 6 months straight I've had 5-6 terminals open at once, waiting on responses just to smash "enter" 90% of the time. That's the whole job now.

And it's doing something to me. A few friends and I keep circling back to the same thing in conversations: none of us feel as sharp as we used to.

Maybe it's just us. But I keep wondering how many other people in their 30s feel it too.

(And yeah: this is a me problem, how I lean on the tool, not the tool itself. Doesn't make the effect any less real.)

@DamonCrockett @0interestrates You can tell AI is involved. I’m not familiar with the definition of AI slop, but lowkey, it reduces the charm that’s present in the original sentences.

@sahilgo6801 That’s sounds fantastic! Thanks!
