in other words, the gov't is subsidizing the cost of said person, who in turn, is "subsidizing" harvard. So by the transitive rule, the gov't is subsidizing harvard.
In theory it makes perfect sense to cut the degree programs and keep (perhaps smaller or at least lower overhead) departments as pure service depts.

The problem is that, in practice, tiny majors use of very few resources for non-service courses. As a result, the savings from cutting the major are much lower than expected and realizing those savings requires gutting the departments service capacity as well.

Plus you lose all your half decent faculty — and especially the ones who aren’t already senile and/or retired in place.

Usually, if you really do need the service courses, it is better to keep the major but adjust compensation and resource allocation for under-subscribed upper division courses. See math departments as a case study.
I don't think it's so easy. An iterfunc doesn't store any state explicitly, so each time you call i it restarts from the beginning

That's true! They're damn expensive.
Its pretty trivial to calculate the embeddings if you have a reasonable GPU with CUDA support, even for decent volumes of data, the problem is that each different model would produce different embeddings and as soon as a new one is released all your previous datasets aren't that useful.

Also worth mentioning that vector databases are really useful in Resource Augmented Generation - aka find an answer from an existing corpus and utilize it to supplement the LLM.
> their competitors are essentially doing the same thing.

OSF was developing an operating system[1] based on Mach, a file system from IBM, and BSD's IP stack, that intentionally had very little in common with AT&T UNIX.

OpenELA is trying to create a carbon copy of their competitor's product, guided by the slogan "bug-for-bug compatible".

These reactions couldn't be further apart.

It's easy to blame Harvard and other universities. But if you focus on Harvard you ignore the plight of all other graduate students around the country who don't have a university with a massive endowment.

This is fault of the federal government.

We are not evil. We want to pay students more. We lived as students and it was terrible financially.

Our grants from the federal government are just not large enough to pay students well. And the federal government ties our hands.

Graduate student salaries are limited by the NIH cap. https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-22-1...

The NIH limits you to $56,484 per student. Out of this come taxes, some fees, etc.

Even if I decide that I want my students to live better and hire a few less (which by the way would hurt my ability to get future grants), I am not allowed to pay them more than that out of NIH grants!

Most grants (NSF, DoD, industry and foundation grants) are calibrated to the NIH benchmark.

I wish these articles would blame the real problem: federal science funding has fallen off dramatically. Even 20 years ago we used to spend about 0.9% of GDP on science. Now, we spend about 0.5%. 20 years ago, about 5% of the spending of the federal government was on science, now it's about 2.5%.

We need the federal government to step up science funding if we want students to be able to lead normal lives.

These points seem like non sequiturs. There would really need to be a deep dive into why cocaine is cheaper (if it is? I have no earthly idea if it is or how one would be able to check). Assuming it is cheaper, it is because KYC laws are failing, or better production efficiency, or less competition among cartels?

The second point is hard to even reason about because I don’t think the purpose of banking laws is to put banks out of business. So I’d be curious what this has to do with anything if you don’t mind stating.
> I've worked at a number of financial institutions including two banks.

I spent 5 years in fintech and touched over a dozen financial institutions. You're not thinking creatively enough. Plus everyone has to do KYC/AML, including two-bit money transmitter startups.

Hah, okay. Even if that were true, just keep walking down the menu: JPM knew Jeffrey Epstein was their customer, too.

If you're using a somewhat modern shell there is $RANDOM which gives you a 15 bit random number. So e.g.

We don't know. The nature of consciousness is an unsolved problem.

We do know that LLMs fall into a certain category of mistake that most educated humans look at and go "HA! What was it thinking??"

It's not that humans don't also make those types of errors - it's that we recognize them quickly when they're pointed out to us and usually describe the error as a "stupid mistake," "brain fart," or similar name intended to show explicitly "gosh, I totally failed to actually think before I did that."

The LLMs show no sign of such self-awareness or, well, "intelligence," loose and squishy as those words are.

Maybe GPT-5 will fix that, but so far it doesn't look that way.

Tell that to Florida. Beavers flooding a neighborhood is little different than a hurricane or a river bursting its banks.

Pushing the suburbs a few hundred yards back from waterways seems a small price considering the benefits of a properly-wild waterway has to offer the wider community.

One of their core members. Lina. Is working a lot on the gpu driver to support vulkan and newer openGL features. But she also has worked on other things. Sure alyssa for example is laser focused on mesa. But there is definitely some people who could have been working on something else rather then GPU.

So in general you are right. Not everyone can work on everything. But with the GPU that's simple not the case here. I mean you can also easily tell with the velocity of the features that are released. Prior to the GPU being a hyper focus every few months large parts of new hardware was supported. Which is now almost at a standstill. You have holdouts like eiln which worked on ANE and now the webcam though.
Late Stage Capitalism is Socialism.

Capitalism drives wealth distribution to the Top. The wealth moves from the masses to the few.

Then, the poor get so poor that society starts to break down. The 'workers' can no longer afford to live where the work is.

But this upsets the rich -> "why can't I hire dishwashers? why can't I hire house keepers".

So, the Rich start actually supporting 'socialist' type programs like 'food stamps' in order to keep some bare minimum of surviving population to serve them.

If a population is starving, then it is can quickly turn into violent revolution.

The Rich would rather chill and have a nice lunch, so they allow a limited amount of re-distribution of the wealth back to the poor (socialism), but just at the minimum needed to reduce the poor's desperation enough to keep them from turning into the violent revolution.

The growing trend of vast numbers of people with full time jobs that also need welfare to eat, is the indicator that society is reaching the end game. They are no longer employees, there is no longer a free market for the supply/demand of labor, it is all supply, and all are reduced to slaves. Just happily ignorant of it, because just enough money is allowed to trickle down.

But it isn't earned money, labor no longer has value, it is a determined measured trickle down, that is just enough to keep people working.
this should be welcomed, we need to increase TFR (The Fuck Rate)
Image someone drew up a comparison of Miro and Figma which listed a lot of facts that they could be compared on, but left out the parts where one is about designing and the other is about diagramming.

Now, you would like to point out that the collection of facts omits some crucial points, which likely makes the comparison useless. What would you say in that instance? In the english language, the most common idiom that has emerged for that is "that's comparing apples to oranges".

That's what the GP original comment pointed out (I assume). You replied to it, ignoring that point and not really engaging with it, and trying to dismantle the concept of "apples to oranges" as a whole.
Catching Up with the Steam Deck and the ROG Ally in Akihabara, Tokyo
That's one of the few non-productivity/collaboration/etc. rationales that may actually make some sense. States (e.g. NH and MA) have had tiffs because workers living out of state are no longer commuting into an office and are no longer paying income tax to the state they used to commute to as a result. I'm sure there are many local cases where there was some agreement about creating jobs in some town which have been essentially thrown out the window now that very few people are actually working in that town except maybe on paper.

Great article, but I'm saddened by their view that C is too hard to work with, so the 2-year-old extension must be rewritten in Rust.

C certainly has its faults, and while I have no real experience with Rust, I'm willing to believe that it's significantly better as a language.

But pgvector, at least from a quick scan, looks like a well-written, easily comprehensible C codebase with decent tests. There are undoubtedly lots of hard problems that the developers have solved in implementing it. Putting time and effort into reimplementing all of that in another language because of an aversion to C feels like a waste of effort that could be put into enhancing the existing extension.

Maybe there's something I'm missing? Is the C implementation not as solid as it looks at first glance?

I agree and this is a practical method that I've seen work well in several companies I've worked for. However I think there's a bigger problem that contributes to the loss of "spark" that the author strangely didn't address at all.

The fruits of labor grow ever higher. By which I mean: In the early days of a startup the problem space is ripe and plentiful, the impact you can have is outsized, and the pool of people with which to share it is the smallest it will ever be.

As a company grows, all three of these factors are subject to strain. The problem space becomes sparser, outsized impacts are recognised further up the ever-growing hierarchy, and the pool of people with which you're sharing your impact becomes larger and recognition becomes shorter lived and more diffuse.

GPT-powered document parser tool
I've just launched Airparser, a document parser powered by GPT. I created it to solve the problem of parsing human-written, semi-structured, and unstructured documents.

It extracts structured data from PDFs, emails, HTML, txt, scanned images to JSON that you can export anywhere via webhooks or Zapier/Make.

I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on the tool itself and landing page (design and tool presentation)!

Government money? Seriously? Would you rather Exxon, Phillip Morris and Pfizer fund the research? Private funds by Musk and Besos?

And there is always the possibility of a different answer. But there's also the vast majority of evidence (with some political motivation) vs a striking lack of evidence (also with some political motivation). I'm going to err on the side of -- most people who dedicate their life to study something are honest about their study of that something.

Except if the environmental cost wasn't externalized it would be unfeasible to not do component level repair at scale.

Another aspect to this is that it board repairs could be made significantly easier if companies bothered designing boards with proper test points and expected values documented in a diagnostics manual. Just take a look at how old school oscilloscopes and other test equipment was designed with not only full schematics but well defined diagnosis procedures.

To be fair to you, you may not have understood how much data voice and text each took. An email can have hundreds of words sent in an instant, whereas a phone call is limited to a few words per second.
Most likely because it's hard to orgainze a controlled, large-scale trial, and there are many variables that influence real-world outcomes, and the measurement of the mask variable is not accurate based solely on historical real-world data.

Sure, but when a country with "People's Republic" in the name outperforms the US on economic policy after the US had a jaw-dropping lead coming out of WWII? It is worth getting into the weeds of what the US screwed up. The authoritarian streak in financial markets (of which KYC/AML are a major plank) is probably a significant factor. The US banks aren't running rings around the Chinese financiers with all the paperwork they have to do.

Although I'll say again that the whole thing is intensely political and I doubt there is any consensus on what just happened in the last 50 years beyond China is building stuff and the US is not.
I used to do this, however I have now reverted to the "traditional style".

Reason being this punchline-first style demands "great patience" from the reader or listener.
The reason for delaying the punch-line is to make sure the proper context and information is available before the reader or listener starts inferring the reasons why.

Too many times the punchline carried enough punch to completely derail the conversation.

SBF is literally the opposite of old money
personal experience..in one of the school systems i went to (grade K-12), i had to pay $2.50 for lunch because my parents had a certain income. $2.5 was still a lot to me, so i rather not eat and felt really bad for using my parent's income. i think about it from ($2.5 * 5 days a week) for a whole school year.

most of my friends didn't have to pay as their parents didn't meet the income threshold. they just have to show a certain ID for school lunch and get a pass.

i remember, i did have some sort of resentment...and the smell of food that my friends ate during lunch even made me more hungry!

CS is a rare exception, the common case is 50-66% of that.
I didn't say "too much math" :-) if anything, I'd like MORE math.

But the amount of time available is fundamentally limited and it has to be balanced.

E.g., in my personal circumstances probability theory, statistics, deeper proof understanding would all be useful. I had all of these at varying depths.

But it's only analysis that we were getting for years and years and years...

And I see why and how this is such an important subject historically. It's just not that big anymore relative to other things.
I disagree with religious indoctrination just as much as I disagree with having books aimed at very young children saying:

> "From six and up, I used to kiss other guys in my neighborhood, make out with them, and perform oral sex on them. I liked it. I used to love oral. And I touched their you-know-whats... Guys used to hit on me - perverts - pedophiles."

This I don’t care about if an adult is reading an autobiography or something. But telling a child that this is acceptable? If you think this is acceptable then you’re a sick sick person.
Are we even sure this is a bad thing for the school? Sounds like they are streamlining their business, just with a lot of the usual useless administrative bloat and incompetence slowing it down.
Yeah, but I'm talking about lower bits, not the upper bits.

Off-tangent: virtual pointers on AMD64 are effectively signed numbers and yet most low-level intro-level programming books keep saying that "pointers are unsigned ints because it doesn't make sense for pointers to be negative, bla-bla". Hell, I believe xv6 book has this passage and the passage about pointers' upper-bits on AMD64 being either all 1 or 0 on the same page!
That coordinating is a quadratic mess, because no task requires bidirectional communicating with everyone else.

I also disagree with all the other points they make about large companies. Not that there exists teams in large companies that suffer these issues, but that there exists no teams in large companies that don’t have these issues. I further extended it to say startups also aren’t without issue, and many are totally screwed up. They just don’t last very long.
