Of 1,648 members of the Harvard college class of 2030, just 11% intend to study the humanities. Thirty-nine percent attend tuition free and another 22% attend for free (I assume that means room and board is also covered).

For non-lawyers: This is a HUGE story! Weil is legal royalty. Founded in 1931. $2.1 billion in revenue last year. One of the most powerful law firms on Wall Street. Lehman Brothers. General Motors. Enron. Weil handled their bankruptcies. These are the lawyers you call when your company’s collapse is going to end up in a history book. Now they reportedly need restructuring counsel themselves. A wind-down would be a stunning end to a 95-year-old institution. How does this happen?

This is probably the best tweet you will read today. A kid who was bad at maths, rejected by 25 universities and turned down by DeepMind three times, went on to build the software that OpenAI, Tesla and Meta now use to train their AI. His story is the best argument I've seen for never ever quitting. He grew up in Hyderabad (India), struggled with maths at school, and ended up at VIT in Vellore. VIT is a kind of college people call tier 2 in India, or probably worse. He applied to twelve American universities for a master's with a GRE score of 1420 and was rejected by every one of them. He flew to the United States anyway on a J-1 visa with no real plan, applied to fifteen more programmes, and was turned down by all of them except USC and, through a late admission, NYU in 2010. At NYU he started working with a researcher named Yann LeCun. Yes the same legendary researcher you’re thinking about. When he looked for jobs, the rejections kept coming. DeepMind said no. Almost everyone said no. His only offer was a test engineering role at Amazon. Later, he applied to deepmind again, but was rejected again. He kept building anyway. Around 2011 he wrote one of the fastest AI inference engines on phones, and still got rejected by DeepMind a third time, and then emailed LeCun one more time. That email, along with his open source work, got him into Facebook's AI research lab, where he barely made it through bootcamp. Then senior engineers several levels above him couldn't get a major image model to train, and he, the most junior person in the room, found the bug that had everyone stuck. It was his first real win, almost ten years in. He went on to co-create PyTorch with a team of three, and then watched management try to shut it down over internal politics. He has said he cried at a bar about it. A few people fought to save it, it launched in 2017, and today it sits underneath a huge share of the AI the world uses. His name is Soumith Chintala. Today he is Chief Technology Officer at Mira Murati led Thinking Machines Labs. When the going gets tough. The tough gets going. source - @autumn_ai_inc

太他妈的牛！ 不得不佩服，印度人牛逼！ 印度人狂借网贷不还！中资网贷出海六年，百家中资平台亏70亿退场。 印度修手机的拉杰什，从一款中资网贷App上借了8000卢比。钱到账5分钟，他换了个手机号，把App删了。 催收电话打到他通讯录里的朋友那儿，朋友问的第一句话是：你在哪个平台借的，帮我也弄一笔。 ​​拉杰什后来接受采访时说了一句话，被传得很广：手机里冒出来的钱，凭什么要还。 ​​这句话把上百家中资平台钉在了印度。巅峰时期，印度每三家在线借贷平台里就有一家带着中资背景，累计砸进去的钱折合人民币约180亿，六年之后整体亏损超过70亿，退出率超过95%。 ​​头部中资平台的坏账率突破50%，中小平台飙到80%，放出去100块能收回20块就算行业优等生。 ​​ ​​国内最管用的“爆通讯录”，逻辑是熟人社会里的面子约束，你不还钱，亲戚朋友同事都知道，你抬不起头。 到了印度，催收电话打过去，对方的反应不是“我劝他还”，是“你告诉我怎么下载这个App”。 ​​印度有22种官方语言和数千种方言，催收团队准备的英语和印地语话术，面对其他语种的借款人根本对不上频。社会压力机制反转成了免费的获客渠道。 印度这个奇葩的地方， 印度人都是欠债不还吗？
