I have one of those jobs, which is why I brought it up :P I am a software engineer and provide security direction to a team of "pure" software engineers (who are slowly getting better at security). Sometimes I help them with the implementation of things.

Other security adjacent roles can be found in areas like web browsers, compilers, and kernels; there's a massive amount of software engineering work that goes into securing existing systems that goes beyond trying to break things. Most large companies will have many people working in such roles.

Rome relied heavily on slavery. Slaves were 20-30% of the population [1]. The slaves did the labor that allowed the free men to go fight and conquer others. It's not an example of a free society in the slightest.

It sounds like the things you listed are prerequisites to having a family. Something people have been able to do for hundreds of thousands of years without transportation or high-paying tech jobs. That's the point I was making.

Our material gains are only true quality of life improvements when they increase the access to things that are "meaningful" like relationships. GDP increase could mean you are capable of producing one extra Jurassic Park sequel each year, while people's ability to start a family stagnates.

So... I am supposed to believe that ultra high income people that are known to engage in a high degree of conspicuous consumption while using minimal government services contribute nothing to the budget?

Life expectancy at birth isn't the best metric, since child mortality depresses the aggregate. If you make it to adulthood, odds are you'll beat the life expectancy at birth.

I edited my comment probably as you were responding, but it wasn't my impression that that is what's being measured. Some level is set and the students are measured against that level. I would assume that the target percentage is of course close to 100% to be meeting that level. If not, then it should be. It is also my assumption that the level is already very low.
It's just rough that the richest country in the world provides such a negative incentive for working in the public interest. I fully accept that government work won't be a lottery ticket type opportunity but asking people to sacrifice serious income for a max of four years without getting to participate in pension, etc that other government work allows and is a _real_ incentive is just wacky. (Maybe I'm out of date on the pension.) And the four year max, why? Surely the federal government out of everything must value institutional knowledge but how can you possibly achieve that with a four year cap?

Dunno. I love the idea of the US Digital Services but the way it's structured just does not come across as a serious effort on the part of the federal government to achieve its mission.
I was offered $180k/year and a 2 year tour of duty embedded in either IRS or DHS. That doesn’t strike me as low. Low for FAANG, but not the rest of the market.

In Germany, there are two services that let you mail things from your computer. I barely used my printer since I discovered them.

There is one exception. The KSK requires me to send them everything by mail - two hundred pages and counting. They also require everything on A4 with no tacks, because they will scan everything back.

I don't want to print things. I'm just forced to. I suspect that it's the same for most people.
I think non-profit universities are the most relevant example of successful non-profit research. For a useful product, you can look at Covid vaccines, which were nearly entirely based on non-profit and publicly funded research, development, and production. The only thing the profit motive contributed was blocking low-income countries from producing their own vaccines.

> First, Apple is known to squeeze every penny from their suppliers to improve their bottom line.

This is just unequivocally false. I used to work for a semiconductor company that was a supplier for Apple. Apple would pay a premium compared to other companies.

The semiconductor game is kind of rigged, assuming you don't have your own fab, everyone knows your costs. They know how much a wafer costs and they know the size of your device, so they have a pretty good idea of what it costs you per device (they don't know your yield, but can guess a range).

Everyone uses that information to keep your profit margins fairly low. Apple would pay a premium compared to other manufacturers. You could probably look at the financial reports of various apple suppliers and reverse engineer that information.

Apple is extremely risk averse, them making their own modems is almost certainly about reducing supply chain risk.

Profit margins will be lower down on the priority list. They can just increase the price of the phone to improve those.

For the record, I am not an Apple fan, I disliked working for one of their suppliers and dislike their products. But they do pay their suppliers a premium.

Does no one on HN read the article? Every single comment on this post is answered quickly and directly by the article
Colleges may have been cheaper 50 years ago, but it was also roughly half as common to go to college. It was especially uncommon for women and POC to enroll. Overall, the government is subsidizing colleges more, but the subsidy is spread thinner. In-state tuition without assistance tends to be $6000-12,000, which isn't much in the grand scheme of things.

As a slight tangent, student loans and grants tend to be the least efficient form of subsidy for higher education because they incentivize colleges to increase tuitions to make them more resort-like.
Yeah, that's a huge one. Performance (at least in terms of acceleration and plantedness) is no longer a unique selling point of luxury cars.
In our rural public school in NJ, both our kids were routinely socially promoted with B’a and C’s even though they were very below average on State testing.

We tried fighting this but the inertia of “do nothing and pass anyway” was too great.

When we moved them to private school last year (5th and 9th grade), they had a brutal adjustment period of catching up from being so far behind, and for learning studying habits from scratch.

Public schools in the US have problems due to the unions giving too much protection to lousy teachers, and school boards throwing away money like water on things like laptops and athletic fields while not focusing on attracting and paying really good teachers with a track record of success.

It really is a travesty.
Well it is chat gpt so of course it's confidently incorrect.
Apparently it hasn't.

We've all seen the proposed pricing for GPT4. So clearly a whole lot of very smart people who know an awful lot about this have absolutely no fear of being undercut.

> Most of it has to do with lifestyle in ways the average person isn't aware of.

Please, enlighten us as to what we're not aware of. If we're to trust your take more than the article, which at least references research in the field.
> It's a way of sucking in ppl who have a desire to learn a language and to fool themselves that they are actually working productively towards that goal by using duolingo when instead, they're essentially procrastinating.

Thanks for saying it that clearly, this is exactly what I think of it too. I try to explain that sometime to people (irl), but despite my own achievements regarding language learning that should back my advises the truth is too hard to handle for most.
it's seriously demotivating as a programmer with gamedev dreams to be incapable of shaping something visually to an approximation of your vision. I'd say it's my biggest hurdle every time I try to jump back into gamedev.

being able to draft a rigged and animated model with something like SD would remove a significant motivational roadblock for me. I don't care if it looks like unpublishable shit, as long as it looks like unpublishable shit that roughly approximates my vision. I can then continue on with my game design, with a self-motivating feedback loop, and find an artist once I can better communicate and sell them on the vision. it'd be phenomenal for proof of concepts and gamejams to see if your idea works. especially when you have no friends in the field.
Why? Because they used the phrase “grade level” to describe their threshold? This metric appears to be defined as “greater than the median scoring when the metric was first established.” This years results are a little less than before the pandemic but greater than when the metric was established. It appears you can’t compare this to any other state or region, so by what measure is it “not good?”

The term grade level was picked to induce a sense of “not good,” because presumably the goal is 100%. But it was picked to be in the first sample less than 50%. We will never shift a metric on a presumably normal distribution that far to the right. So it’ll always look “not good.” The fact that it’s relatively stable over time means “it’s better than it was 8 years ago” and that’s about all you can really say. Given it’s seen improvement over time, albeit with slippage after the pandemic, that seems pretty excellent.
The data tells me you are completely wrong in your assertion. Life expectancy (in the US) has been on a very steady and continuous increase. https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/life...

However, lifespan is a crude metric. Healthspan is really what we should be targeting. I don't want to live to 150 if 60 of those years are spend miserable in a nursing home hooked up to machines keeping me alive.
Will be?

Nothing fills you with guilt like having a person 30 years older than you deliver your Starbucks and groceries.

> Balancing chemical equations, Arrhenius acids and bases, basic lab work, and ...

... oxidation, exothermic reactions?

A teacher who never actually studied the subject and only has knowledge of the pre-filtered material from the textbook would be little more than a talking textbook. I mean, textbooks are useful, but we already have those.

> Without a recipe or off-the-shelf explosives?

If they've ever studied the relevant subjects, yes.

> And even if true, a teacher who hasn't put themselves to the task of building a pipe bomb can be a perfectly good chemistry teacher.

But the suggestion to pre-filter is more like a teacher who was never allowed to learn enough to succeed at the task even if they tried. Teachers who could succeed but refuse to try are the norm. (Or maybe they have tried on their own time, or done the thought experiment, but they know that handing out step-by-step instructions would be taboo in most circumstances.)

> These models can't figure anything out, they just regurgitate and associate on command.

I think you may be overemphasizing "regurgitate" and underemphasizing "associate". ChatGPT can emit instructions for just about anything that were clearly not just regurgitated from some other source, and surprisingly often they're even accurate - or accurate enough to use as a starting point.

Let's just agree that pre-filtering the training text is not a practical way to prevent these models from producing emissions that are considered dangerous or taboo, at least not without losing the traits that make them so interesting in the first place.

But the self-censoring hidden prompts that they're using can also lead to absurd results, so there's a lot of room for improvement. I was trying to generate a fictional story where at one point the main character tries walk out of a store before paying for an item, and it refused to write something "illegal or unethical". It was okay with having the character leave some money on the counter before walking out.
