Very much doubt he's coming back. It's sold as always being almost ready, feel like stress levels for the guy who's supposed to make sure that happen would be quite high if he knows it's not. You don't put yourself back in that position after enjoying 4 months of real life.
When you hear "airplanes can't take off because it is too hot" they are really saying "Boeing 737s can't take off because it is too hot."

The 737 MAX debacle pointed out that the 737 was by far the most technically primitive aircraft still flying. Because of decisions made in the 1960s the 737 struggles to take off under even good conditions, it is the first one to fail because of "hot and high" conditions.
Doesn't most of Europe also rely on standardized testing for university admissions? My country definitely does so, and has for decades, both ore and post communist times. I also know France has the famous Bacalaureat at the end of high school.
Yeah, I have found that it improves 3 things. (this is for GRE, which is similar)

1. Basics: If you don't know standard permutations and combinations then knowing those formulae off the top of your head is nice to have. The language portions in particular, take a lot of preparation for non-native speakers.

2. Speed: Giving a decent number of sample tests helps put you in game mode for the real thing. It also acquaints you to the manner in which questions are phrased and their intended meanings. (big deal for non-native speakers) Lastly, it helps ease anxiety.

3. Gotcha-proofing: Every examination has some familiar gotcha patterns. Some training helps in looking out for them helps.

Most likely the UX would be worse, also building 2 sided marketplaces is difficult regardless of the tech. There are more reasons for sure, like who really wants to be paid in a volatile asset?
Do you speak from experience? I attended it for grad school and not undergrad, but there was the expectation that you stand on your own. I was in one of the rare programs that was a terminal masters and you had to reapply for the PhD, and only 50% were accepted to the PhD.

I think there probably aren't too many failing out of undergrad simply because they do a great job of filtering in the first place. But I know people who attended that certainly struggled... one who came a C student and still want on to a great medical school and a successful career. There isn't grade inflation.
>There hasn't ever been a nuclear plant built which as not subsidized. Wind and solar needed a kick-start, now they bid to even get permission to build off-shore wind power.

I am not sure why nuclear needs to be perfectly competitive to be a valuable option. Govts worldwide subsidize infrastructure programs to varying degrees. Roads are subsidized. Water treatment plants are subsidized. Hell, agriculture and farming cannot survive a free market without government subsidies in most of the planet. Companies like Apple and Tesla won't build manufacturing plants without tax breaks (effectively a subsidy.) Amazon won't build an office without asking for a tax break from the cities.

The expectations of nuclear are irrationally high.

And your quotes all point to policy issues which can be fixed with proper governance. Just because it "became" non-competitive 5 decades ago is no reason to not pursue it going forward given that any help against the climate emergency is welcome. Even IPCC in a report some time back accepted that meeting the climate target is not possible without the help of nuclear and in a good policy environment nuclear can be cost competitive.
Ultimately, you likely need to convince people who don't care about how it works/who are only interested in that it does or doesn't work.

Right now, time might not have come for use cases that need such buy-in, but if and when it happens, need to be prepared for it.

There seems suggestive evidence, in the pattern of improvement after a few days on specific questions, that some of the worst answers have been human-reviewed & improved "on the fly" – on a scale of days/weeks.

If such tweaks show useful generalization – correcting a few answers also helps the network better determine entire classes of experessions that deserve more definitive & correct answers – that's not such a big deal, expecially if this constant-human-guided reinforcement-training is well-disclosed.

If instead the corrections work more like a lookup-table 'cheat sheet' of answers to give in preference to the bulk-learned answers, with little generalization, that's a bit more slight-of-hand, like the original (late-1700s) 'Mechanical Turk' chess-playing 'machine' that was actually controlled by a hidden person.

If the disclosure of this constant human-guided correction-process is hidden, or downplayed, the impression of trickery, rather than innovation, is larger.

The neat thing about hydrogen is that in the short term you can supplement natural gas with hydrogen using the same or similar generation plants. In the long term deploying hydrogen infrastructure is pretty similar to managing natural gas which we already do at scale.

Solar + hydrogen storage probably is the only long term mass scale alternative to nuclear short of fusion.
Assuming an infinite amount of anything seems to be a good way to end up with a paradox.

The thing I found funny about cosmetics is that often the players that are REALLY good (as in very top of the game) end up stripping off all cosmetics and going as bare as possible (or just using one single basic cosmetic). When you get to the point where you already own all the good stuff and have used it for so long theres a novelty in looking vanilla. And of course you could argue a competitive advantage in that people may think you are a much, much worse player than you really are.

You say progress, but it’s kind of both an endless treadmill and you’re weaker usually by lack of options;

When I used to play LoL, like 5-7 years ago, I was playing a rate of like 3-4 hours daily, which barely scraped by the amount of essence needed to buy the next releases champion, let alone the runes system they had introduced at the time (don’t know if it’s still around) which had a fairly dramatic impact on the early game especially for specific characters.

That is, while technically the game could be played purely on free tier and eliminate any competitive advantage… it requires a lot of effort to keep up. Not nearly as bad things like FarmVille used to pull, but definitely enough to say that ponying up cash is eventually needed.

And having more options available to you (both characters and runesets or whatever they do now) is definitely an advantage, and a significant one at that
Well, Trump did it, that's one data point. Also, he did fine at U Penn, an Ivy, so why should we assume MIT is so awesome that another rich kid couldn't cheat his way through there?
When the root cause is under-capitalization, that’s a better problem to spend energy on.

Because it has compounding returns.

Cost reduction has diminishing returns.

Starting out under-capitalized means the business is default-dead. Odds are no amount of hard work will change that (that’s the nature of diminishing returns).

Of course all this is in the abstract. Actual businesses need different amounts of capitalization.
> Not only do start-ups normally not have 4-5 years, but they don't even try to solve hard problems - they mostly just try to solve some trivial bullshit to exploit a legal loophole or insert themselves as middlemen in a corporate/legal swamp.

I don't really agree with that, the time horizon on a successful startup, one that's acquired or goes public, is 7-10 years. I also don't agree with the class of problems. Like everything there's tiers. C tier player get's a C tier company with C tier problems. Naturally there's more C tier people than A tier, but that's not an indictment specific or by any stretch unique to startups.

Edit: Honestly, the prevalence of easy capital means bullshit like you say stands out more but I'm not sure if a lot of companies like that are the winning bet for another like Google or whatever. They're over pronounced for sure but the moment venture capital stops having so much money floating around they'll die out imo. It does mean you have to do a little more work to find the interesting ones though.

I wouldn't say it is common, but there are more and more architectural firms focusing on sustainability. We hired a local sustainable architecture firm when we decided to do our reno. They come through the house with a thermal camera and found huge heat loss out our old plaster walls on the 2nd floor. The solution was for contractors to remove siding, add external vapour barrier, insulation, and then we did wood siding on that. Attic was already well insulated. The results look great and and house is super comfy now. No more drafts.
I did not know about that one! As a fisherman, I wonder what happens when someone notices part of the string has broken. Surely they replace it, but does everything stop until sundown when someone can fix it, or do you call a goy?
Did you not see the predictions of what would have happened if the Three Gorges Dam had failed? A dam failing is utterly catastrophic. Chernobyl by comparison is small potatoes, even if no one had done anything.

(Also, the comparison isn't 1-to-1, since Chernobyl wasn't attacked. I have no idea what the failure modes of modern reactors are when damaged by munitions.)
And? This is a complaint in the genre of "I had magical expectations and they weren't met because the world is complex and these problems are hard or impossible." It's like people complaining about us not having hoverboards or fusion.
> “you’re an adult once you realise you’re it; you can fail; and it’s nobody else’s job to make sure you don’t”

There's an embedded ambiguity in your sentence in that there are two kinds of failure. One is a failure of endeavor where one don't get what one necessarily wants but who has the basics. Two is a catastrophic type failure with some combination of deprivation, insecurity, and health problems as a result.

Most people would agree with your statement when it comes to one. When it comes to two I don't think such a consensus exists.

My interpretation of the disagreement you are replying to is that possibly differing definitions of failure are being used.

Steel framing tends to be correlated with higher wall mass, which means better sound isolation.

The original discussion was about noise in multi-family homes e.g. apartment buildings and high-rises, which tend to be steel beyond a certain height. While there are single-family homes built with steel framing in the US, they are less common; they have some advantages but cost more to build and are more difficult to thermally insulate than wood.

Every multi-family high-rise I've lived in used steel construction and drywall and had excellent sound isolation -- I never hear my neighbors and vice versa.

The article explains quite nicely why it sees it as a general benefit: it is a very tactile experience, while touchscreens are "pictures under glass".

No added complexity just a different option for a button (e.g. like an actual push button instead of a picture of a button on a display). Seems fun.
I like where you're coming from, but I think you're stopping too soon. You can learn how math works (well, that's the most general one, least likely to be mastered by a single brain, and it's not clear how meaningful that accomplishment would be). Spacetime theories can be mastered. Quantum theories can be mastered. You can become acquainted with psychological theories and even psychological practice. Moreover, you can do most of this within a single lifetime. So, why not get a physics degree and at least cross two things off your list?

But yes it's hard to describe life, because of that fractal complexity you mention. So the best we can do is go over and over it again and again with different lenses, at different scales, different rates, and get a feel for the thing that way. (Then you must sample all of that, cut it together with music, and release a Terrance Malick movie).
Technically MIT isn't an ivy league school. But either way, what makes you think all Ivy's are the same?

Your consistent ethical framework can be to respect the laws (the de facto laws) of the places you operate in. For a whole country, part of any reasonable ethical code is something like not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, which means not exercising legal jurisdiction over actions that take place in other countries and don't really concern you.
Maybe because 1) no one sees the need for it, or 2) no one's started working on it yet.
1280 is a guarantee by the IPv6 standard. If you run a VPN over a link with 1280 MTU then the VPN protocol has to have a way of fragmenting the payload (which could be using fragmentation in IPv6, but application specific is likely to work better).
That may be, but if you are allergic to it then that's not sufficient reason to eat it. Hacks like this can help allergy sufferers.
I think the analogy was that a CPU can do a GPU's job, but a GPU will do it much faster.

Pretty much all modern NICs are already using separate hardware to reduce the load on the main CPU. I.e. using a different CPU to do more CPU.

Without that you're looking at sacrificing a whole core or two just to handle 1Gbps, nevermind 10+.
When designing Virgil, I left out ADTs for the longest time. I had programmed a bit in ML, and knew I would eventually want them. I finally added them to Virgil circa 2016. It's really impossible to emulate them with objects, because objects typically have identity, whereas ADTs, IMHO, shouldn't. The pattern matching and exhaustiveness checking that ADTs give you allows you to write very concise programs that you can be sure cover all the cases.

Extensibility in OO languages can be great for many things, but ADTs excel at expressing a fixed set of data shapes, forcing programmers to think carefully and break things down into a fixed set of cases. When you've handled all the cases, you're done!

Do you like to live in totalitarian world, where some statesman make decisions, who should live where, etc?

In democracy world, exists local government system, where all citizens of one community could make agreement, for things like you say.
Because in this case, community is closer to private property, where (co)owner(s) decide, how to use their property.

Some democracy countries implement this idea so extensively, that their central government MUST make agreement with EVERY community on foreign policy.

That's all. For example, Switzerland live with such idea, and north European countries mostly share it.
Because of this, Switzerland situated inside Europe, is not member of EU, and similarly, Norway is also not member, but have special agreement with EU.

And yes, Switzerland is one of the most effective countries in the world.

A lot of human communication is "lookup-tables". The entirety of geography, mathematical axioms and theorems, names of colors, names of people, language, shape of various things.
