Even more brutal honesty: MIT has core requirements that are about the toughest in the nation except for CalTech's. One term of calculus beyond the AP BC sequence, calculus based classical mechanics and E&M, one term each of chemistry and biology. No matter what degree you get, you have to get at least C grades based on mastery, not a curve.

And reading between the lines, it sounds like MIT has another "lost class" or two. A few years after I was admitted to MIT, the Director of Admissions retired and was replaced by a professional in the field. And being a professional he followed the faculty's official findings on how to select applicants and all of a sudden MIT was getting calls from schools asking why their best students were no longer getting accepted while the next tier suddenly were. And rather quickly the physics faculty led a revolt because way too many of their students were having too much difficulty with the above above minimum core requirements.

I got to casually know one of these students, she was very nice and of course smart, but boy did she struggle with the required math based core curricula of her major unlike her female peers from my years and thereabouts.
Some people do change. Point in case would be grandparent(?) stating that they changed to a low carb diet that fixed their issue.
No. It wouldn't. Look in to Ontario preliminary results before it was cancelled by the current conservative government. The vast majority of people under ubi chose to use the opportunity to re-educate themselves to raise their position in society.
Mm, no. Fortnite makes money by selling good to children. They make more money if they create an environment which stigmatizes not spending money, which is a tactic to which children are especially vulnerable and which necessarily leads to a group of children being stigmatized against by their peers. It's hardly "think of the children" to take issue with a business model which is demonstrably harmful.

Also, "children will bully each other no matter what" is not a rational response to something which exacerbates bullying. That's like saying "accidents happen no matter what, this is no worse than normal" with respect to a defective car with broken airbags.
Outside the AAA bubble, stuff is native for Linux as a bonus. :D

Sorry, to clarify for people who haven’t watched the show. The show is about a Gilded Age new money family in New York City trying to break into the social scene composed of affluent families who traced their ancestry in America back to the 1600s. It’s these sorts of families (who were “old money” back in the Gilded Age) who were intimately involved with the inception of Harvard and Yale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elihu_Yale
Virta Research has peer reviewed research supporting this approach. They have been successful with getting many type-2 diabetes patients into remission primarily using low carb diets. If you're insulin resistant then the first step has to be eliminating basically all sugar.

It's not senseless at all. Cows also prefer shade rather than direct sun when it's warm. Like we do. :-)

There are no unique best way to protect soils. Different approaches may work on the same spot depending what you want to produce. In all cases, even if one approach may really be by far the best in one location, another approach will be required a few miles away.
There are plenty of institutions where "someone got admitted because their parents donated a lot of money" is a fact of life, as natural as rivers flowing south or getting sick from standing in the cold. It's not something you normally brag about in/to the West, and certainly it's very reasonable to object to the practice, but it's not remotely unique to the US. If anything, it's telling that this version is presented disguised, even if it's a well-known disguise at this point.
are there any limits around the number of files? The official linux client starts to bug out somewhere over 250k files and gets stuck on "syncing". Dropbox support have said they don't recommend more than 100k files.
I disagree , Twitter has phenomenal platform wide moderation for the mute feature Alone.
I don't know picodguyo either, but to be fair, there really is a flourishing of innovation finally happening in search. Finally. After 20 years of zip innovation.

Marginalia, Brave Search, DuckDuckGo is doing more than ever, Mojeek is rejuvenating, Wiby, Alexandria and a stack of others.

It's time. We've had a tired monopoly with 90%+ marketshare selling us to the highest bidder for too long. The more people taking on this problem with different ideas and approaches the better.

So yes, there is a lot of innovation in the search space lately. Google might see that as "what are the chances" conspiracy. I see it as healthy. Roll on some innovation :)
As evidenced by this post, people use automated tooling that can easily make that number balloon.
Yeah, I sort of mentioned that in one of the other comments. Even when they start the meds, they should be trying to fix the underlying cause like dietary issues. Hopefully it would help make the medication more effective.

It's something else to not even counsel a diabetic about carbs.
Sorry, I got confused - but the argument still holds, it's absurd.

Twitter is just a nasty place.

At first I thought I would just ignore people who made me want to argue.

But then twitter had to remind me what the trending hashtags were, and they were enough to make me facepalm.

It's a shame, because there's quite a few technologists who do cool shit that talk on twitter. But I'm just over being in an environment where overly sensitive people vomit their ill thought out political opinions at me.
Often no. They’ll be hosted through the online services provided by the console.
Do you see this as a bad thing? As someone who doesn't have any insurance, I'm extremely grateful for these. I don't want to have to go through the current medical racket where unless you pay a doc $300 you won't be allowed to purchase the medication you want. And then of course there's the follow up appointments, a "med check" where they can bill you $150 every 90 to 180 days just to hear you say, "yep, things are fine."
If they are in that situation it stands to reason they might not have that knowledge. It seems the grandparent(?) is an example of that when it came to low carb diet.

as an MIT alum, a wealthy one who thought he would leave his fortune to MIT, I applaud this move, but it doesn't get me back to giving.

MIT shouldn't have stopped requiring the tests in the first place, shouldn't have participated in that anti-intellectual "shut down tech" day or whatever that was, and shouldn't have done a dozen other things like cancel speakers to bow to a woke mob.

MIT needs to sign up to the Chicago principles on free speech https://provost.uchicago.edu/sites/default/files/documents/r...

and MIT needs to stop writing stuff like this (from TFA):

Our research can’t explain why these tests are so predictive of academic preparedness for MIT, but we believe it is likely related to the centrality of mathematics — and mathematics examinations — in our education.

IQ science is well established, and it is well known that the SAT is an IQ test, plain and simple. To pretend otherwise is to dissemble, to be anti-science. Hopefully, MIT will save itself, but I'm sadly not expecting miracles.
1. Your initial claim was "the price of meat doubled over the past year", not "8 pack whole wing price doubled"

2. If you don't mind me asking, what was the before/after price of said chicken wings, in unit terms? Some plausible reasons that might contribute the doubling you see, but not be representative of overall meat price trends include:

a. you misremembered (eg. $4.99 -> $4, $7.43 -> $8)

b. you were comparing sale vs non-sale prices

c. you buy some really boutique chicken wings that are subject to bigger price fluctuations than the typical wings that everybody else and the USDA measure

d. you were comparing regular chicken wings with boutique chicken wings

Otherwise, it seems strange for a grocery store to go from average chicken prices, to 66% above average (2x / 1.2x) in the span of a year.

If you don't need Windows, or can sequester all your Windows stuff on some VDI, then sure. It gets easier every year. I ditched my last daily Windows driver a couple years ago and I don't even miss it for gaming since I can spin up a RTX enabled host on Geforce Now using pretty much everything I own with a processor in it.

However, in very large scale environments, I'm not sure the alternatives to Windows are quite mature enough yet to deal with the less common situations encountered there. M&A, localization, and offline access to files all come to mind.
They sound like dull people.
There is a huge survival bias here: the ones we know who did it are unsophisticated about it so were easy to catch. The ones we suspect might be doing it are sophisticated enough that there is no evidence of their wrong doing. Maybe they aren't doing it, or maybe they are just good at doing it.
> So if the same degree had taken eight years

The time value of money is powerful, but specialization in unique intersections of skills entails earning power. The place where that intersection lies on a graph will be different for each person and some of it comes down to luck.

Do PhDs generally have positive expected value? Not really. Deep learning PhDs 10 years ago? Ask a retired 30 something.

In her case, 8 years would probably still have been worth it, from a purely monetary perspective, even assuming disciplined saving and excellent returns on savings during those first 7.5 years.

You're still talking about delaying her life for those years.

In what sense? She worked. She played. She loved. She got progressively better paying and opportunity-creating part-time jobs (aka internships). She learned. Etc.

There's a lot of negative things you can say about college, but "delaying life" definitely isn't one of them if you're doing things right.

I don't know enough to comment about how much different course providers are teaching, but if they really were managing to teach you the same things as a four-year degree in six months, that would surely make it more valuable, not less.

If you only get out of 4 years of education what you could have learned in 6 months, then yes. And I have no doubt that happens.

But if I could choose between e.g. $30K for a high quality CS+Bio+Finance BS or $30K for a high quality 6 month program in one of those, the choice is sort of obvious for me. The opportunity cost of the 3 years is more than worth the amortized increase in specialization (== earning potential) and risk mitigation over a 30+ year career.

SQLite autoincrement: good, bad, or in-between?
The SQLite site gives advice to avoid autoincrement because it is slow. The first sentence of this page says:

"The AUTOINCREMENT keyword imposes extra CPU, memory, disk space, and disk I/O overhead and should be avoided if not strictly needed. It is usually not needed."

https://www.sqlite.org/autoinc.html

Since HashBackup (I'm the author) uses autoincrement on a few tables, I thought it would be a good idea to find out about its performance.

I ran 3 tests, all inserting 1M rows into a table with Python.

Test 1: insert using autoincrement. Time: 2.36s, 25% slower than test 2

Test 2: insert using an increasing integer supplied on the insert. Time: 1.89s, fastest

Test 3: insert using a null value - the recommended way. Time: 2.73s, 44% slower than test 2

The SQlite autoincrement page says:

"But if your application does not need these properties [of autoincrement], you should probably stay with the default behavior since the use of AUTOINCREMENT requires additional work to be done as each row is inserted and thus causes INSERTs to run a little slower."

What is surprising is that it doesn't spell out that inserts with no primary key specified run even slower than autoincrement inserts.

So I feel better knowing autoincrement is not so bad, no primary key specified is worse, but I could get a little speed-up specifying the key myself.

I think it's context specific.

Here's a hint. The real anti-racists are the people who are against actual racism. The people who are instituting racist policies and trying to repeal constitutional prohibitions against racism are not anti-racists. They're the opposite.
"If it seems odd that a purveyor of VCRs and stereos could make investors swoon, remember that this was the 1980s, and people were getting pumped about cellular phones that were roughly the size of microwaves."

That is not how I remember it. To insinuate VCRs and stereos should not have been sought after in the 1980's is silly. Most people had no interest in a cellular phone. They wanted TVs. The author's comment begs the question, "Was Mark Dent in NYC buying electronics in the 1980s."

Crazy Eddie defrauded investors but generally, as I remember it, they were honest toward their customers. To be trutthful, I was not much of a Crazy Eddie customer. I only bought from them a few times. I chose to buy from their competitors, other electronics dealers in NYC with "low, low" prices and price guarantees. Like Crazy Eddie, these shops focused on volume.

Anyone remember places like 6th Ave electronics. Prices were published, in their newspaper ads. In theory one could take one of these ads to Crazy Eddie if that was one's preference for where to shop. Apparently 6th Ave imploded even faster than Crazy Eddie. There is a Wikipedia page devoted to the subject.^1

To some perhaps these places felt like they were being run by "hustlers". As a customer, I never found them to be dishonest, they were just barebones operations. No salesmanship, no BS. The price is low, the stock is here, take it or leave it. The educated consumer was their best customer.

However I see marked differences with how people today use the word "hustle", e.g., this website. Today, customers are the target of "tech" company deception and investors are the enablers. It is unlikely these 1980s era electronics shops had wealthy investors backing them like "tech" companies have today. They had to make money in the present to stay in business. Their employee salaries were paid from revenues or loans, not investment rounds. If they failed to make money, eventually they went bankrupt. They had skin in the game.

Yep, still does [1]. Even 4.1 and 4.2 (the most modern variants of NFS) all start with .x files and XDR encoding. The ancient names codified by Sun still exist and still work (and the tooling still works for introspection as a nice bonus).

Right. Growing up in Melbourne (Australia) there was a marked difference in the performance of state school and private school students at university. Theory (don't know about studies) was that the private schools were selective about their students, but also held a lot of their reputation (and their ability to justify tuition) on TER (Tertiary Entrance Ranking) scores, and as such, taught their students extremely well "how to get a very high TER", but not necessarily how to be an independent learner - information spoon-fed in classes as such meant that assignment and essay scores were quite a bit higher than those in state schools, where there wasn't the individual and personalized attention available.

Once those students got to university, while the state school students were used to conducting independent research, having no-one who particularly cared or was going to crack the whip on assignment turn-in ("You're adults - turn your work in or don't. Not my problem."), and such thrived, while many private students found themselves at a loss. I remember many questions about elementary "Well, how would I go about researching that/studying this/doing that" in my first year of university that were along the lines of this theory.
I think it's more supply and demand. There is a demand for good senior developers but Apple is a prestige company to work for in many circles too. So, they can pay less than other 'top blah blah 500' companies because at the end of the day Apple is more recognized on a resume than the other 495 companies.

There are plenty of people who likely have a similar resume to yours and similar skill set that would be happy to list apple on the resume for a couple of years of time at a slight drop in peak pay.

Also, apple offers stock last I knew anyways, which can be quite attractive in some circumstances.
That's more what they offered me here in London

> I have no problem with institutions giving consideration to people who have experienced certain disadvantage. The income their parents made, for example

Just wanted to note that this is partly why the SAT was stopped from being used at MIT and other universities - because it tend to score lower for people who are considered to be under disadvantage. In other words, I'm not sure that this approach necessarily leads to a more positive outcome.

Edit: Looks like HN resolve this and it's ranked properly now (no offense meant to the OP).
Always find it amusing liberals think this is some kinda gotcha. We did the imperialist thing and exploited the fuck out of other countries: that is win one. Then a hundred years later we feel bad about about it in order to feel morally superior and pat ourselves on the back: win two.

That worked when interest rates were declining; now they are going up, so refi'ing at a better rate might not be an option.

The real insight from GPT-3 is that much of human discourse is rather dumb. It does so well at punditry that the wasteland of political commentary is all too obvious.
Until I lost mine in a taxi it was easily the best, most polished and most reliable phone I've ever owned. More reliable than any iPhone I've owned. More reliable than any droid I've owned. In terms of calls connecting, not dropping out, the OS not crashing in the middle of calls - all of which have happened to me with Apple and Google's (Samsung's) gear. That was my experience that I'm having as hard a time reconciling with yours as you probably are with mine.
I mean that’s great. We have rural chickens too. It’s not that hard to find. The supermarkets here (Massachusetts) have pretty clear labels on what all the chicken raising options mean.
