Oh, for sure, slips of paper can be super-valuable. I don't think their main value, however, come from the implied expert-level assessment. Rather, I think their value comes from the implied gating requirement to even get in in the first place. Harvard is more famous for how hard it is to get into, rather than how hard it is to graduate, and then the resulting exclusive club you get to become part of once you're in.

Being part of an exclusive club and having a built-in reputation opens many more doors and makes getting some jobs a lot easier. So then you have to calculate the value of that potential. Department of Education estimated the earning potential for Ivy Leagues to be on average 40k more a year, up to 130k more a year.

If we're comparing a college then with no reputation vs taking only online classes, I wonder if there is much if any appreciable difference per year. Maybe at that point the value of the college education is mostly in the knowledge and skills you gain and the paper itself has negligible worth. So then make sure you're only paying a negligible amount to get that paper.
I actually feel like covid lockdown has had the opposite effect on me. Many of the things I enjoyed doing have been made impossible or much more difficult, so it feels like all I am left with is striving for work accomplishments.
This sounds like it is written by someone who has never worked at a large tech company, and understands them primarily through the FUD spread about them by other large tech companies.

Transmeta was never a viable solution: it was a pet project billed as a disrupter on the basis of it being a dynamic architecture. Do I need to explain the mountain of issues with their primary objectives or do you want to google that?

Regex Is Hard: GPT-3 Regex Generator from English
This is probably most useful for people who speak English as a second language trying to name something in English because it's de facto our current lingua franca and gets called globish for that reason.

I've given people on HN feedback a few times about how "that doesn't mean what you think it means and sounds to me like a terrible name for this project and here's why." A website checking for things like this is maybe a reasonable first step for some people, but if you aren't somewhat fluent in the culture and language of your primary target audience, a website like this is likely insufficient. You should get some "live" feedback as well if you aren't sure, preferably from someone like me who is prone to being too truthful to be good. People with better "manners" may not tell you honestly "Ha! That sounds like (offensive as all hell phrase) to me!"
> The retirement of COBOL resources across the nation, whether anticipated or not, has no difference on the outcome of situation

Sure, but I'm not the one who claimed that the problem was “failure to anticipate the retirement of COBOL resources.”

I agree that retirement of COBOL resources is basically irrelevant.
It's a side note, but I think open research (in combination with a bit more readable language) would contribute a bit to suppressing conspiracy theories and general scientific knowledge.

Right now, proofs and research are locked away behind paywalls and inaccessible to the usual reader - an open policy would allow far more linking and quoting and therefore get the average person used to looking things up in papers.

Um, no.
This seems silly. Network admins can determine he inserted a CD and respond immediately in person - but nonetheless issue PCs with CD-ROMs and the ability to interact with removable media?
There's a lot of value to paying someone who has spent decades reading all the things people wrote down and distilling the most important information, themes, and principles.

I'm reading The Illiad right now (Pope's version). It's quite nice, but I don't understand it. I mean, I get what's going on, but I don't understand why they are telling me this. Why is it composed the way it is? Why start the last few months into a 10 year war? How does one even successfully camp out in front of an enemy city for ten years? Why didn't someone win already? Why are two enemy combatants duking it out while everyone else watches? Why are they willing to stop when the priests put out their poles saying it's nighttime, battle's over? Why are the priests even willing to go near two people fighting? And that's not even getting into all the literary stuff I'm completely missing.

I have the source material. If I spent enough time reading up on ancient Greek culture, and reading analyses of The Illiad, etc. I'll probably get that. Or I could pay a guy who's already done it to explain all the important parts and point me to the things people have written down that are actually helpful (as opposed to not very insightful, based on obsolete information, pushing an ideology, or just flat-out wrong).
I really want access to the API but I have no immediate use case and I'm not "AI community famous". I have vague ideas about prompting it to create 3D models (I work in games\graphics), but I have no idea if that will actually work given the data set.
Yeah, I think that was their mistake. Though I personally commend Google for standing up for their ideals at that time as to how they thought about information and access to it.

The way in which Spotify (and other streaming services) hurts the development of music isn’t what most people say.

The problem with per-stream plays is that it is based on pop music logic: more streams
equals more money.
Fair!

But many recording artists made a modest living by releasing music that you might not want to listen to over and over and over. This music is often labeled ‘art’ or ‘experimental’ or whatever, and for the enthusiast, paying $15 for a record of this stuff was great.

Streaming services have no answer for this problem. It’s up to something like Patreon, if anything, to fill this gap.

This is all sorta fine, but what grates in me is that it seems none of the streaming providers have even thought about this. They just don’t seem to be that in to music, and just think of types of pop music as representing all of music.

This is where that above quote is just a little irritating.

"To avoid misunderstandings, while FMC models reflect the fact that banks face no technical limits to expanding their balance sheets instantaneously and by large amounts, they also reflect the fact that banks face economic limits. However, the latter do not include physical limits such as the availability of sufficient savings. Rather, the most important limits are their own and their customers’ potentially volatile expectations regarding future profitability and solvency"
Yeah, I worked for a certain security company, and it took me way too long to realize the reason "3d Secure never effing works" was because I was using it from my corporate LAN, which was blocked/flagged due to scanning activity.

I don't see anything about "demanding pity" in that article? The gist of his argument is that, instead of using their incredible accumulations of wealth and talent to change the world, elite schools are mostly churning out options traders and management consultants whose careers will be spent squeezing 0.1% extra profit for some even richer dude, and that's a pity (for the world, not the well-paid people doing the work).

It's about releasing, not creating. If you write 12 good songs a year on average, you can release 1/month. It doesn't matter if you actually write one song per month, or write and record them all in one frantic week, and then spend 51 weeks growing as a person and cultivating new ideas.
Because nobody has made an app or service that maps them and automatically bypasses them. It should be possible to do but a bit expensive
Great but more important is how battery prices keep falling. Power density is already high enough that long range versions of the Model 3 can go 400 miles, which, with fast charging available when needed, is enough for the vast majority of auto owners.

The problem is that the battery pack that takes makes the cars too expensive to purchase for most people. But in a few more years falling prices will make ev's similar in sticker prices to comparable ice's. That plus much lower operating costs will cause ev sales to skyrocket.
I agree in principle that this would be OK, except part of Apple's vetting processes is making sure apps aren't accessing private APIs.

While Erdogan is behind the wheel, Turkey will keep suffering his power-plays. Its very unfortunate that he doesn't want any conflict resolution, just power games (don't forget blocking social media sites in Turkey etc). I have a feeling that Turks do want to progress and be part of the westernized world but he is keeping them behind. A week ago he converted a highly valuable world heritage monument into a mosque knowing it will damage his relationships with Europe.
Reopening Famagusta is only gonna make things worse.

Generally speaking the area has been conflicted from all sides, e.g Israel-Palestine etc, and it feels like noone really wants to fix things up and let the area heal for generations to come? I mean come on people we are in 2020 and we act like we are 70 years ago... we should be thinking out of the box.

Although I am biased on this subject as I legally own land that I can't use or visit in Famagusta, I thought I'd share my opinion.
I wonder if humans used to eat more bones ... I had a physical anthropology professor who studied an ancient site in east Africa where it appeared humans got a fair amount of food from eating leftovers from lions and whatnot, breaking open bones and eating marrow. Basically humans were in between the predators and the vultures.
Yes, Mozart died in late 1791, which was in a relatively early phase of the revolution (At the time of his death, the French King was technically still in power).

I'm not sure where this goes in the threads and discussion, but this historian has a really nice article on the importance of the humanities. Unlike science and technology, the humanities don't have an obvious ROI, especially when you have to pay large sums of money, and I think he does a good job of illustrating the value the humanities bring and possible consequences we are seeing in our own society of not valuing them.

I remember working on my first full-stack project, I was so intimidated by migrations. Nowadays I couldn't imagine starting even a small side project without writing migrations from the first commit.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of new developers resort to MongoDB because they think it's better for early stage evolving schemas. It's certainly more open to changing your schema on the fly, but perhaps not for the better.
If you see that is one of the options I don’t think Nvidia did not see that possibility as well. Yet they still plan to buy ARM.
I think it's just inaccurate. People go to shows to hear the music, therefore the music is the product still.

It was not left unoccupied for almost half a century by mistake. There was an actual UN resolution that ruled it could only be resettled by the original inhabitants. Tearing down those homes and building over them will be deeply consequential. It will make Turkey an international pariah and raise questions about other issues, such as their treatment of their Kurd minority.

For your cheap package tourist, money and convenience matter even if ethics do not. The international embargo means no direct flights from anywhere other than Turkey, so, your package tourist would be looking at significant additional travel time and expense.

Then you have infrastructure. The south of the island received significant grants and subsidies from the EU, had plenty of foreign investment, a thriving tourist industry, and a tourist-oriented population that can mostly speak English. The north was isolated, unable to export, and almost entirely dependent on meagre support from Turkey, meaning that the north fell far behind.

So, your package tourist will have fewer comforts, fewer food choices, and would be served by inexperienced staff with little English. The TripAdvisor reviews will be painful.

For the next decade or so, the supply of tourist accommodation all over the world is going to wildly exceed demand. The established destinations, with experienced operators, established reputations, and direct flights are going to utterly dominate a cut-throat market. The main Turkish tourist industry will, of course, survive but this self-inflicted damage to its reputation will make it harder than it could have been.
I can agree they have the perception of protecting privacy and taking security seriously.

A good way to draw that line would be “what level of success is required to make a decent living, house, and typical luxuries of life” compared to your peers. For a software developer, this is not as hard as making a “hit”. A regular 9-5 job at any one of a thousand companies is enough. I don’t think that is the case for music industry though.

Honestly, you have some valid points and this bullying by forcing it to be sold is bad.

I think the fear is the manipulation that social media platforms can easily do of discourse and emotions. This is not as simple as just selling word processing software.

We have seen manipulation on US's own social media platforms by actors not even inside the company. Imagine a government which has supreme control on the companies on its own soil, imagine what it can do. I would say the fear is well founded, the solution to is not.

In case of the companies under free governments and justice systems, this becomes hard as any FB employee can go out and use the free press to expose if any manipulation like this is ordered.
Wait, how are you responsible for poor card security? You are protected from more than $50 in liability by federal law, and more than $0 by virtually every issuers policy. More often than not, your issuer automatically detects and blocks fraudulent purchases.
In visual arts, deep knowledge of what other artists have done, of history, of literature, of geometry, of techniques, of composition, colour theory, etc., etc., generally at least some of these things are crucially important for a visual artist, such as a painter, a print-maker, or a sculptor. Random local artists off the top of my head, Bill Hammond, Tony de Lautour, and Neil Dawson all draw very heavily from at least a few of these things.
I know, which is why it doesn't make sense.

If you're so stupid how can you social engineer your way into Twitter?
Android is a substitute for iOS. Just because it doesn't integrate with X Y and Z or doesn't have as good hardware doesn't mean it is not a substitute.

Substitutes don't have to be exactly the same. Androids integrate with different laptops and watches, they have worse hardware but better software (Tasker, etc.)

I don't agree with people saying "if you don't like Apple use Android" because it's sidestepping the main issue, that for Apple to sell you a device and then disallow you from utilizing it to such a degree is wrong and we should discourage such practices whenever and wherever we can.
When you are young, you have a lot of options that you will almost certainly regret later, when you realize that they have closed off other options.
> more than I like saving a few fractions of a percent of my hard drive space.

Hard disk space is seldom the actual issue. Instead, it's bandwidth used (too expensive to download over a mobile connection, or maybe not even feasible to download over a low-quality connection), or memory requirements (can't reliably use slack + spreadsheet + photoshop at the same time), or power consumption (laptop out of battery in 1 hour).

Do you like split-window, code-folding, etc etc so much that you can't download it while traveling in a rural area, have to close it so you can run Photoshop, and have to carry a spare battery so you can use it for the entirety of a 3-hour plane ride?
One disadvantage of an API is that OpenAI controls what the model is allowed to output. They’re already working on a content filter in response to the latest wave of social media criticisms. (The head of Facebook AI publicly accused OpenAI of deploying an unsafe model, and said that it shouldn’t be so easy to get it to generate racial stereotypes. https://twitter.com/sama/status/1285985962250534912?s=21)

I wonder if the content filter will become mandatory.

The flip side is that we’re probably looking at the Apple model of AI software. The App Store was a repulsive idea when it was first introduced. Now it’s a fact of life.
> This seems obvious but the reason has nothing to do with GPT-3. It’s just a bad idea to build a business around someone else’s API

The entire argument in the article is the “it’s bad to build a business around someone else’s API” argument, just directed at a particular surge of hype around the GPT-3 API, and taking (perhaps only for sake of argument) the basic premises of the hype about about the utility of the API before factoring in business concerns at face value.

This article is about P(good life|college degree)

Global popularity and net worth is not everything, but you could say that is "a good life", in the context of this discussion.

If we restrict this only to artists, a degree doesn't guarantee a base level of popularity or base income.
But there's a specific consumer safety reason for it.

If you have something that is something else in almost every way except for one or twos details inheritance is far superior than interfaces.

The other benefit of inheritance, that often goes unmentioned, is the ability to fix bugs in other products. I've had to inherit from some library/framework class to fix a bug in that technology -- it might be a rare situation but it's absolutely invaluable to have that option.
