my takeaway from this piece and its sheer length is that if you're an evil, unvirtuous person in life, you get sent to hell, which is simply being reborn as an autistic girl with body dysmorphia
I have designed a face optimized for male sexuality. Here she is.
The key findings on which it is based are:
- The highest earning escorts are slim with F cup breasts. The median sex doll has D cups.
- Across all demographics, men reliably prefer a waist-to-hip ratio of about 0.65. Sex dolls have an average waist-to-hip ratio of 0.62.
- When asked to rate bodies, men prefer a BMI of about 18. The average is 28.
- In @Aella_Girl's surveys, men prefer the faces of 28 year old women to 21 year olds.
- Men rate faces with prominent cheekbones more highly than faces with lots of buccal fat.
- Blonde women are overrepresented on the covers of women's magazines. They are even more overrepresented in Playboy centerfolds, pornography, sex doll, AI sexy lady libraries. Blonde escorts earn more. Blonde women in general earn more and so do their husbands.
- That being said, top rated faces are always framed by dark hair, not blonde hair.
Most women have never heard a frank discussion of what makes a woman sexy in their whole lives. Because men won't be honest, women have been left to pass hearsay, gossip, and marketing copy to each other.
To remedy this, I have written the first fully comprehensive guide to what men really find attractive.

In ancient China people loved building as high as they could. For a ruler a tower to hold drinking parties on was as accepted a recreation as concubines or horses. Han dynasty tomb offerings show structures six or seven stories tall.
By the Tang dynasty, however, the old growth forests that provided the timber were exhausted, and with no raw material to practice on the technical skills were lost. Qing Beijing existed on just one or two levels.

My view on the whole sorry affair
The death of the Cambridge professor Jason Arday demands something he was not afforded in life: a reckoning with the systemic, ritualized dishonesty that undid him, @Tyler_A_Harper argues. theatlantic.com/culture/2026…

God gives the happiest women to the happiest men btw
I saw a video of a girl describing how her boyfriend makes her feel deeply loved even when she’s acting “crazy” in a silly, playful way or when she’s feeling hyper-emotional. He stays calm & grounded, finds it cute, and always reassures her. She was beaming, saying it made her fall even harder for him.
That’s exactly the kind of love women truly want, the love of a healthy, masculine man

I would only tell a man's daughter one thing, that most men are profoundly lost, frightened creatures who do not understand themselves, let alone you. they arrive with their needs poorly disguised as affection and they are so sturdily convinced of their own sincerity that they will fool you for months, sometimes years. and this is not because they are evil, it is because they are unfinished. and unfinished men do terribly stupid things to the women that love them and then stand there baffled at the wreckage, as if some other man inside them did it all. that so the one thing i would tell her is this, you will not be able to tell the unfinished ones from the finished ones by their words. you can only tell by what they do when they are angry, or tired, or scared. that is where you see what you are actually working with

My existence is real and has value. Probably more than yours. Let’s compare. I went to Top 10 University and majored in Valuable STEM field. It was here I had valuable developmental experiences like being president of Consulting Club, winning a Hackathon, and interning at Prestigious Company. I even attended house parties to improve my social skills, further improving my corpus of enviable and employable traits. This led to my job offer at End Goal Company and the move to High Status City. My income is higher than my peers (thoroughly cross referenced with LinkedIn) and my strava posts put me in the 99th percentile of my cohort. There is little left for me to do in terms of existence or creation of value. I’m afraid I’ve done it all.

The most manipulative but effective thing I’ve ever done in my life was when I read an article about how children moderate their behavior to protect their self-identity, so if a child believes he’s smart, for example, he’ll intentionally study and try to do well to protect his image of himself.
Anyway, I would pull kids aside with behavioral issues at church and tell them, “David (obviously fake name), you’re such a kind person and such a good listener. I can see that in you. Thank you for always listening.” “Little Annie, thank you for taking such good care of the babies around you. You’re going to be such a good big sister. Can you be in charge of watching Sally?”
They would ALWAYS behave afterward. ALWAYS. Worked like a charm. Morally questionable because it wasn’t initially true, but I kind of willed it into existence. Tbf, I did think that they had that in them or I wouldn’t have tried.
Will publish longitudinal results of this method once my kid is old enough to report back.

海外网友扒了1680 份 Anthropic 工程师的简历，先说我觉得最反常识的几点：
第一，招的几乎全是搞 infra 的，不是 researcher。
第二，几乎不招初级员工。中位数的工作经验是12.2年。只有13%的人有博士学位。
第三，最大的人才来源不是OpenAI和DeepMind，而是Google和Meta。
第四，如果是 junior ，一个特别"干净"的典型画像是这样的：MIT，IOI 银牌，Codeforces 2900+。
一篇非常好的文章，作者是做招聘的，把当前雇主一栏写着 Anthropic 的 LinkedIn 主页全爬了下来，共 5306 人。从里面筛出 1680 个真正做工程的，再去翻他们进 Anthropic 之前写的 7986 段过往岗位描述。
可以一观Anthropic的人才构成。
1、Anthropic几乎是一夜之间把团队搭起来
现在还在 Anthropic 的工程师里，2021 年之前就进来的，只有 15 个人。
真正的大扩张是在2025-2026年。2025 年一年，工程组织差不多扩了3倍，招了686个。2026 年看起来也会接近这个节奏：截至 6 月，已经招了455个。
现在团队里一半人入职还不到一年，过去 12 个月进来的占53%，在职时间中位数10个月。
也就是说，这是一个在大概 18 个月里，被非常快地搭起来的巨型团队。
2、他们几乎只招资深工程师
这条我觉得最反常识。
进Anthropic之前，这些人的中位工作经验是12.2年。中间 50% 的人，经验8.8到16.5 年。
1680个人里，工作经验不到3年的只有 50 个；44%的人有 13 年以上。应届这块基本等于没有。
所以一个典型的 Anthropic 新人是这样的：已经工作 12 年，但进公司才 10 个月。
3、他们其实更看重 infra，不是我们以为的“搞研究”
40% 的人背景里出现了 infrastructure。
backend、distributed systems、databases、security 这几个方向，各自都在 20% 左右。
而reinforcement learning，只有3.3%人。
也就是说，典型的 Anthropic 工程师，过去十年更像是在 hyperscaler 或 infra-heavy startup 里搭大规模生产系统的人。
4、最大的人才来源不是 AI lab，是 Google
大家总觉得 Anthropic 很多人来自 OpenAI 和 DeepMind。
但实际上，它最大的人才管道是 Google，而且领先很多。
除了 Google，它明显还偏爱那些以工程严谨著称的地方：Stripe、Databricks、Snowflake、Palantir、Airbnb。

I’m about to show this to my psychiatrist and ask for this like I’m at the barbershop

Sometimes who we are attracted to, or fully fall for romantically even, represents primarily a metaphysical archetype. Then, instead of acting it out and trying to possess the other person—which would be a sinful distraction from the actual climbing of the hierarchy of value —we have to notice the projection and learn a lesson of what value we are lacking and failing to embody sufficiently in our own life.
The idea that romantic love —eros— and our fundamental understanding and grasp of value are intimately intertwined is already written about in Plato’s Symposium where Diotima teaches Socrates about the nature of love, and how through the contemplation of the beauty of one person and body over time a human can ascent to a grasp of the nature of beauty itself.

Eid Mubarak!
Today as we honor Prophet Ibrahim, Eid al-Adha reminds us that sacrifice is not a burden. It is an opportunity to see ourselves as part of something larger. To extend a hand to those who need it most.
I am honored to be New York City's first Muslim Mayor and I am determined to lead through solidarity. Together, we are working to ensure every New Yorker can afford the groceries, housing, and child care they need.
Our solidarity is our strength. Eid Saeed, New York.
