Childhoods of exceptional people
 Let’s start with one of those insights that are as obvious as they are easy to forget: if you want to master something, you should study the highest achievements of your field. If you want to learn writing, read great writers, etc.
But this is not what parents usually do when they think about how to educate their kids. The default for a parent is rather to imitate their peers and outsource the big decisions to bureaucracies. But what would we learn if we studied the highest achievements?

WorkWorkThat Dropped Call With Customer Service? It Was on Purpose. - The Atlantic (No paywall) In hindsight I'll say: I always thought going crazy would be more exciting - roaming the street in a bathrobe, shouting at fruit. Instead I spent a weary season of my life saying representative. Speaking words and numbers to robots. Speaking them again more clearly, waiting, getting disconnected, finally reaching a person but the wrong person, repeating my story, would I mind one more brief hold. May my children never see the emails I sent, or the unhinged delirium with which I pressed 1 for agent. WorkThe spectacular new two era in tennis has arrived - WSJ (No paywall) Earlier this month, the 24-time major champion was in his native Serbia while two men more than a decade his junior were duking it in Paris in one of the greatest Grand Slam finals tennis had ever seen. Djokovic, who had been out to lunch with his family, didnt feel like watching. I got enough of tennis," he told them. Work
WorkCannes bans cruise ships with more than 1,000 passengers starting next year The French city of Cannes is banning cruise ships carrying over 1,000 passengers from its harbor starting next year. The decision is part of a wider backlash against overtourism. City officials also cited concerns about pollution. Larger ships must use smaller boats to transfer visitors to the port. The new rules limit daily disembarkations to 6,000 passengers. Cannes is seeking to balance tourism's economic benefits while managing growing crowds. Cruise ship companies say such measures are counterproductive. Nearby Nice and other European cities have also introduced cruise ship restrictions recently. WorkWorkWork

WorkWorkWorkThe Unseen Fury Of Solar Storms - NOEMALurking in every space weather forecaster's mind is the hypothetical big one, a solar storm so huge it could bring our networked, planetary civilization to its knees. Work5 Ways Cooperatives Can Shape the Future of AI - Harvard Business Review (No paywall) Today, AI development is controlled by a small cadre of firms. Companies like OpenAI, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft dominate through vast computational resources, massive proprietary datasets, deep pools of technical talent, extractive data practices, low-cost labor, and capital that enables continuous experimentation and rapid deployment. Even open-source challengers like DeepSeek run on vast computational muscle and industrial training pipelines.
WorkWorkWorkWorkA new Dutch museum tackles migration through art - The Economist (No paywall) WITH NATIVIST political parties riding high all over the world, it is not an easy time to celebrate immigrants. The Netherlands has had a reputation for welcoming refugees since the 16th century, but in the 21st it has been riven by arguments over Islam and multiculturalism. The Party for Freedom, led by Geert Wilders, a xenophobic rabble-rouser, came first in the most recent election; earlier this month Mr Wilders brought down the government in a spat over asylum-seekers.
WorkWorkWorkHow Donald Trump Got NATO to Pay Up - The New Yorker (No paywall) The headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, in Brussels, with eight crisscrossing glass-and-steel wings, was designed to resemble a set of interlocking fingersa reference to what its architect called the coming together of all nations in one common space. Inside, the allocation of that space reflects certain geopolitical realities. The nine-person delegation from Iceland, the alliances only member without a standing army, occupies a half-dozen offices; France has a whole floor; Germany has two. The U.S. mission, with a staff of more than two hundred, representing a global force deployed in nearly a hundred and fifty countries, takes up an entire five-story wing. Work WorkClimate Action Isn't Dead. Its Just Not Focused on the U.S. Greetings from London. A week of interviews, events, and meetingsboth on the record and behind closed-doorsat the citys Climate Action Week has left me with many reflections, but one stands out: the climate work goes on, but the U.S. is no longer at the center of the universe. WorkWorkTrump, Congress, and the War Powers Resolution - The New Yorker (No paywall) Two interrelated fears that have caused mounting public alarm with respect to the Trump Administration involve unchecked executive power and the erosion of the rule of law. These worries have intensified in debates about the legality of President Trumps decision to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities more than a week into Israels war against Iran. Members of both houses of Congress had introduced resolutions to try to prevent Trump from taking such military action without its authorization. But the energy that some lawmakers had mustered for a rare attempt to assert Congresss constitutional power against Trump seemed to dissipate, at least while they expected a ceasefire between Israel and Iran to hold.

WorkWorkWorkSubstack Is Having a Moment - Again. But Time Is Running Out - WIRED (No paywall) Before June 8, the skilled and respected ABC News television journalist Terry Moran was neither a household name nor political lightning rod. That changed abruptly when Moran posted on X that Donald Trumps deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller was a world-class hater, followed by an addendum that the president was a hater as well. (The post was later taken down.) While the statements were certainly defendable, they apparently violated ABC policy, and Moran was suspended, then dismissed. Moran, though, had one move left. On June 11, he started writing on Substack. Work

This memo, which was sent to OpenAI employees in Slack and obtained by WIRED, came days after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg successfully recruited four senior researchers from the company to join Metas superintelligence lab.
