The Reductive Seduction Of Other Peopleโ€™s Problems โ€œIf youโ€™re young, privileged, and interested in creating a life of meaning, of course youโ€™d be attracted to solving problems that seemโ€ฆ

@mcuban.bsky.social as a student I can verify firsthand the enthusiasm and untapped potential on campus.

People want to help but are at worst pipelined to build algorithms, weapons, and chemicals and at best create tech sol to social problems.

Incredible article.

The issue is that nuance and honesty doesn't sell. Funding goes to the most confident bidder. Authenticity is dead.

I can't stand to read any more tone-deaf tech bro snake oil marketing

The absurdity is everything is "revolutionary" but somehow completely stationary

3 DIY tools which will dramatically reduce the work to hand assemble PCBs. They take advantage of component tapes where the orientation is "known".

1) Rotary Table: Rotate the PCBs to match the components

2) SMT Dispensers: Each to print dispensers for 8, 12, and 16mm

I swear the same people who write "a pinch of salt" or "milk as needed" are the ones who invented small, medium, large clothes.

SMALL is not a unit god damnit!!

Maybe you could try stretching from the two bottom corners diagonally and sticking some heavy textbooks to hold it in place. Painters tape is pretty safe unless the paint is literally disintegrating.

One time at my university a crypto company hosted an AI hackathon to predict crypto prices.

The winner's code was essentially if high, buy, else sell.

If youโ€™re in grad school, finding a therapist can be really helpful. The thing youโ€™re doing is hard and itโ€™s harder if you donโ€™t have help managing imposter syndrome, stress, self esteem, and a whole bunch of other things.

I wholeheartedly agree. The stress from any kind of big undertaking ends up irritating the wounds that are neglected or aren't fully healed over.

And when I'm in the thick of it, it's hard to get perspective when I need it most.

If I make a noob mistake in Rust the compiler will stop and direct me to actually learn and fix the issue.

C++ (as a noob) is like going into the jungle and everything is trying to fucking kill you including the cute animals.

Hot take: rust is more beginner friendly than c++.

Have these 3 hobbies in your life to reach your peak:

1. one physical hobby (athletic)
2. one consuming hobby (intellectual)
3. one creative output hobby (creative)

I have all 3 and I feel balanced and grounded.

It makes me more stoic and resilient.
