I assume you're referring to this line:

> At least the well-off folks won't have their lives ruined if they fail to get tenure.

Which I read as pointing to the fact that poor people will have to invest almost all or actually all of their savings and income into their education. Someone with more fortunate circumstances might be able to use half of their savings or let their parents pay for it.

My sister-in-law is a teacher dealing with this in a pretty rough school district. The admin does not want to expel or fail students because of very sensitive political reasons and there are many students that just don't give a fuck. In the end, she's marking entire semesters worth of work and assigning extra attempts at the end of every semester. It's insane.

That's actually fascinating. I would never give a gift card as an actual gift to people, because that strikes me as being lazier and less thoughtful than just giving them cash.

I can speak from experience on this. Getting started with TensorFlow was very complicated with sparse documentation, so we dropped the idea of using it.
Edit: I may have misunderstood. You instruct it to modify the original prompt of that session to include what you learned? Do you ask it to repeat the new prompt? This is interesting, but it wouldn't help for any future sessions.

---

It has zero effect. Your prompt consists of the OpenAI prompt + your conversation so far. There is no cross-prompt learning, knowledge or intelligence [except for, in the future, what OpenAI decides to include in model training of new releases]. The main reason for this is there are a limited number of tokens that can be used as the prompt. If you "include everything we learned in this chat session" it would have to include the entire chat session as part of all future prompts and you would quickly run out of tokens for the prompt. Training happens on a corpus, but not during regular use. Perceived "learning" is just context provided by the session-limited prompt.
Hey — you're quite correct and I appreciate this feedback. Thank you.
I agree with your points. However, I think we still have the problem that there is too much supply, and pushing more people into it does them a disservice.
Yes, it helps the scientific establishment re: points 1. and 2. As for 3., perhaps true, but I'm not sure it helps those individuals and thus conflicts with the next point that "Everybody in a society has a right to a good life."

This may be colored with a US-centric point of view because social safety nets are not great, and if they existed to a greater extent maybe my criticism would be mitigated and it would be fine to push against the market. But without that I think many people are better off pursuing opportunities more appropriate for them.
> The best mathematicians aren't the ones just proving theorems anymore, they're discovering interesting conjectures through exploration and then handing the grunt work off to a computer.

I'm sorry no. This is simply wrong. Computer proofs are not there yet, and plus, a lot of the interesting theorems (including many of the well-known ones) are non-constructive which are difficult to prove on a computer. In fact, many theorem provers cannot prove 'basic' facts about math due to how constructive proof theory works. Indeed it is not clear what truth means at that level, but considering we regularly use non-constructive proofs to build things, I'm not sure that matters.

I think what is most undervalued is the utility of sheer competence and technical skill to creativity. Without the former, there is no latter. If someone who never studied piano told you they had a beautiful piano solo in their head, would you believe them? More importantly, would you trust them to execute on the creative impulse?

Given they claimed, at least, to have personal xp on the matter then why is it meaningless?

That last one is clearly a reference to racism, so what are you accusing? surely not that you don't care either way?

Luckily, he appears to have the charm and charisma of a potato, and is fighting culture wars that his base loves, but the vast majority of electorate dislike, so he is unlikely to ever rise above his current station.
Lots of great insight. Here’s one:

“Given the long timelines of a PhD program, the vast majority of early ML researchers were self-taught crossovers from other fields. This created the conditions for excellent interdisciplinary work to happen. This transitional anomaly is unfortunately mistaken by most people to be an inherent property of machine learning to upturn existing fields. It is not.

Today, the vast majority of new ML researcher hires are freshly minted PhDs, who have only ever studied problems from the ML point of view. I’ve seen repeatedly that it’s much harder for a ML PhD to learn chemistry than for a chemist to learn ML.”

Same thought here. They could look at children of PhDs versus children of MBAs/JDs. If you compare with the whole US population you're missing a lot of nuance.
Realistically, how could someone move from IaaS to PaaS? What if I already have a big investment in my IaaS infra?
There's a dark counterargument to this: that those seeking to raise the tide for everyone need to account for the maneuvers by those who wish to opportunistically deregulate and profit.

There's a fine line between elevating the opportunity and quality-of-life floor v. making everyone the same at the expense of individualism and all opportunity (i.e. in favor of "sameness") But basic quality of life improvements that require public funding are often lobbied against with arguments equating raising the floor with "sameness," which harms pretty much everyone.

Hence a dwindling middle class etc

You can see that games in other highly populated regions sell for much less. This is the 7th most popular game on steam that isn't free to play.

https://steamdb.info/app/252490/

39.99 in the US, 22-23 dollars in China and India. In indonesia the game sold for as little as 13 cents a license. It is slightly higher in the EU and UK but by very little. In this case 24% of all players are American. The UK is 2%. So even with a slightly higher price, they're not getting anywhere close to the revenue that US consumers are generating. Russia has 10% of the player population and the game sells for 13 dollars. I don't think the population correlates to revenue when the game in nearly every market is going to see for less, or attract much less players.
I think there's a point in particular that's not true:

> If the instance you’re on is compromised you will lose your identity because private keys are stored as part of the instance. No private keys, no identity, no portability.

I don't think it's quite so bad, although of course a server vulnerability is bad: you can have an email account as a backup. That's the way many services have kept secure: you can invalidate the old password after a breach and email users a new one. In the worst case, you could try to prove to moderators you're really the account owner. However, the most important point is that it's just an account: you can just create a new one, and be mostly fine (after letting people know you've moved). In the case of the breach mentioned before, a notice could be left on inactive post-breach accounts.

There's not really too much data you'd care about that isn't public already, and you can do regular backups in case there is (private messages, I guess?). It might be nice to add some auto backup functionality to some cloud service I guess.
Alrighty! Just pushed a new release for this.

Could this not be alleviated with software? Let the student submit how ever many attempts he or she would like and then just have the software do the grading?

I imagine there is less 1-on-1 feedback, but if the student had questions, I imagine most teachers would not mind assisting a student at that point.

My university used software like this over a decade ago. I honestly preferred it for some classes. For example, I had a Calculus II class where we could take every test three times. I would take each test once, see what I did wrong, ask the professor, take it again, then repeat if I was unsatisfied with my grade the second time.

I honestly felt like I learned more via this trial-and-error approach than I ever did studying for one-and-done kind of examination because I was able to actually learn the material vs. trying to memorize as much as I could just to pass the test.

I have pretty severe ADHD (didn't know it at the time), so this methodology was extremely beneficial for my "not built for school" type of brain.
If the end user is going to play it at 48k (trivial today) then it is absolutely better.

Back in the 1990's independent/aspiring musicians needed to make CD's to send out to labels/radio stations/sell to fans. CD Audio is fixed at 44.1KHz. Transcoding 48k to 44.1 generates undesirable artifacts, especially back then when you likely had to convert to analog first.

We’re Our Own Worst Enemy
Ownership of land is an illogical concept anyway. The government doesn't own the land either, it is merely protecting it from intruders and enforcing the law it wrote. There are lots of stories about aboriginees being surprised that they could sell something they believed they didn't own.

From a simple arithmetic perspective, a land "owner" that doesn't pay at least the guard labor necessary to protect the land, will eventually lose that land. If we assume that military expenditures are paid by working income tax payers, then the guard labor would no longer be paid by its beneficiary and over the long run this disequilibrium will be eliminated through a revolution or war. In the latter case, the attacker values the land more than the "owner" and therefore it is "profitable" to acquire it by expensing the full amount of guard labor to "defend" it from the weaker army of the original owner.

I don't like this method of measuring a company's competitiveness with how popular they are with consumers. Just because MS can't cobble together a decent product that people enjoy doesn't mean that they should just be allowed to buy sectors of the market until they have a good majority. Maybe they are just releasing shit products despite having as many or more resources at their disposal compared to their competitors.

Picture this feedback loop:

- Microsoft has 20% market share

- Microsoft buys company Y, bringing them up to 35%

- Microsoft ruins company Y's product with their awful leadership

- Microsoft now has 21% market share
GP isn't referring to eugenics. GP is pointing out that there may be heritable traits that lead one to be more successful in a PhD program. This could be grit, determination, ability to focus, or ability to recognize patterns. It would be surprising if there were no heritable traits that affected success in PhD programs.

GPs comment is no more eugenicist than someone pointing out that children of NBA players are more likely to play in the NBA because height is somewhat heritable.
When I was working at CERN I went for a ride in the morning and discovered a border when coming back.

It was on the middle of a road without any markings and the border police stopped everyone in the evening (I think that was because they were looking for someone).

I told them I do not have any documents because I did not know that there was a border, they proceeded to arrest me with hancuffs and everything.

I was pretty scared but they were just pranking me (it was the actual police). Told me to get better next time :)

Same fab, same experience. I would add that a deep understanding (and ability to explain) statistics was more critical than understanding the underlying device physics for most roles I encountered. Enormous amounts of noisy data, characterizing several hundred process steps, is harnessed to apply massive pressure on engineers to "fix" problems that might just be a statistical blip. Economic stakes of minor yield deviations are so high that you often have to act as if something might be wrong before signals reach statistical significance. I bailed after four years, but it was great experience to start my career.
From a statistical standpoint, nobody goes down in history for anything
Ehhhhh.

The lowest level of synchronization is atomics + barriers. Semaphores are pretty high level IMO anyway. But not high enough level to be easier to use.

I'd say semaphores are more like the linked list of synchronization. Useful in some circumstances, way more popular 30 years ago and less popular today, still have plenty of legit uses but newer structures (Go's channels, pipes, eventfd, condition variables) have eaten away at the niche it carved out.

You can probably write all your multi threaded code in semaphores alone, proving their versatility. But it won't be the fastest or easiest to understand.

A friend of mine just does one service at a time, and it's low-key fairly brilliant. There's a bit of headache with installing / uninstalling apps on televisions and having to log into things once a month or quarter or however long it takes him, but the kernel of the idea is that there are generally only a few new, good shows worth watching for any given network, but all the good shows are roughly equally distributed between networks.

So instead of paying $10 a month to Disney for Mandalorian, Wandavision, Loki, an additional $10 for Peacock for Mrs. Davis, Bel Air, and Poker Face, plus however much else for HBOMax, Netflix, Hulu, etc., he could just pay one network $10 a month, binge the couple of good shows that they had, and then instead of waiting months for the next thing to come out, unsubscribe and switch to another network. Lather, rinse, repeat.

He isn't as current, and sometimes it's hard to chat about whatever the current new thing is, but society has effectively already given up on the concept of the whole nation tuning in to any one thing and it being the topic of watercooler conversations for a myriad of reasons.

Note: He has children, and I have no idea how he handles this other than to note that he also has a digital antenna, so some shows are "always available" (or at least as much as is allowed for)
