"I wanted to fund students at Einstein so that they would receive free tuition," Dr Gottesman said she immediately realised. "There was enough money to do that in perpetuity."

I have never heard of a school getting this lucky from there alumni/faculty and even hearing there students getting something out of it so it touched my heart I have always had a toxic opinion about my teachers. Perhaps this could turn into an example for the rest of Americas medical schools in the coming decades.
Will it support Pinecone? I deal with a lot of vectors
Ok. I’ll rephrase. In caves we were 0% there. Now we’re 0.00001% there :). Maybe. May need a few more zeroes. What we have helps probably, but hard to be sure how much. Maybe we need 1e40 FLOPS for AGI. In that case going from 1FLOP (human in a cave) to 1e14 FLOPS (a GPU now) is irrelevant.

I’ll believe we’re closer when we have a computer solve a novel problem that is not a simple pattern match to a similar solution. When a computer can reply to “write me a JIT translator from ARMv5 to ARMv7M” with working code. That takes actual thought and we’re not even close.

Interesting arguments like being an ad for Meat sticks?

Come on. Of course some kind of Animal husbandry or hunting can be beneficial for the environment. But your parent comment talks about the effects of factory farming, not grass-fed bisons or game.
that's the root of my skepticism. I've yet to see huge transformational projects involving AI from the grapevine of my 750k+ employee consulting firm, all I hear about are experiments, webinars, and POCs. What I see in the news regarding the few projects live is not good, AirCanada and some others where the AI went wrong and now the company has to backtrack.

There's no doubt the tech community is all excited because genai, indeed, helps write code but I've yet to hear a large company like Coca Cola announce large AI transformation projects the way they announced large cloud transformation projects a few years ago.

I get more and more on the AI bandwagon as time goes on but I still have a pretty healthy skepticism on how deep and wide the tech will penetrate day to day business at enterprises and that's where the ROI is.
I actually can't remember that well, but I don't think I used anything special. There might have been a few courses where I just used a paper folder with simple pockets inside, and some courses where I used a three-ring binder with section dividers for the courses. I would set the paper in between the dividers and it would stay there well enough by friction without any help.

The total number of pages for each course was never very high because we were on quarters instead of semesters. If there were a lot of pages I'd probably add some sleeves to secure the pages -- but I would be fine with putting several pages in each sleeve rather than one page each.

After the course was over I put the pages into 9x12 clasped folders and that's where they piled up until I did this scan.

Thanks!
Unfortunately, I do not really have a choice.
When UC Irvine launched its law school, they made tuition free for the first graduating class (and perhaps gave discounts to the next couple years — I can't remember). They are now ranked #35 in the USNWR, which is pretty good for a school that's about a dozen years old.

My guess is that having free tuition for all students forever will have a much bigger impact. I believe Princeton's policy school is similarly endowed, [1] and it's basically the top choice for anyone getting an MPP. Of course, it also has the prestige of Princeton associated with it; I could imagine some student choosing Harvard over this school, which doesn't currently have the same name recognition/prestige. But surely that will grow as a result of this announcement!

You're assuming there was no need-based tuition program already running. Average tuition may not be full tuition.
Language barrier or whatnot is one thing, but I was having issues with the methodology of it.

I can do a lot in 8 mins. If you had 8 minute warning for an earthquake, what could you do? Luckily, we get more notice than that now for tornadoes, but 8 minutes is enough time to seek shelter. In 8 minutes, there's plenty of time to ctrl-s on everything, and then close apps and shut down computers.

The problem is communicating to everyone when that 8 minutes starts and how much time is left.

Google is full of contradictions.

They do all of this for the sake of diversity yet it's the least diverse place imaginable as it represents a narrow brand of politics only (largely) found in California.

Which is a laughable set of politics as most of its members (activists) as well as its host (Google) are in fact ultra capitalistic neoconservatives in their actual doing.

It's the total opposite of diversity and inclusion as its optical only.

I'm pretty sure the Chernobyl engineers also said "this is impossible", "this is very safe design that can not fail". Only in hindsight did the failures appear.

For Fukushima. Sure, once in a lifetime earthquake. It's always something, and at some point walls can't go any higher. Seems like backup pumps should have been on higher ground. But to think nobody will do something similarly silly again, is being pretty trusting.
It's realpolitik. If you think it's worth fight for then why choose a losing battleground?

"I think the people I disagree with should limit themselves to this arena," is a guaranteed way of losing. It's like saying, "I think we should all line up and fight in a big field," when your opponents bring in the guns and artillery you say, "Yes, you overpowered us and won, but you did it in the wrong way so we didn't actually lose."

Again, it seems that free speech is losing in the marketplace of ideas, why wouldn't that make you change your mind? Holding onto a losing idea is exactly how the marketplace of ideas is not supposed to work.

> The backlash against Windows 8 from purists who hated anything mobile

I think that you're being a bit uncharitable here. The issue wasn't "purists who hate mobile". The issue is that what makes a good mobile UI is worlds apart from what makes a good desktop UI. You can't combine the two without making one or both use cases worse.

The pushback was due to Windows 8 being terrible on the desktop.

Microsoft's mistake was in trying to make One UI To Rule Them All rather than having different UIs for different form factors.

I think it is weird that the 7840u (Z1X laptop model #) exists in the first place. It has a wildly overpowered GPU for a mobile chip of it's type and while they quote a 28W TDP, the actual max-power draw is stratospheric for a U series (well over 50 watts). To be honest, I wouldn't be shocked to find out the Z1X internally came, as a concept at least, before the 7840u. Meanwhile, the Z1 is so wildly weak in comparison. It is only 1/3 the TFlops.
Good point. Are you saying that one can agree with all the premises and conclude it will cause hardship to future generations but ultimately don't change behavior because it's part of their core identity?
In Canada a political appointee of the left will take the position. It will be used to whitewash opinions in favour of government positions and try to extract money from US companies.

Canadians won't like it but the media will push it so far as no one will be allowed to be elected without supporting it. More laws further limiting criticizing will be passed where the punishment is longer than murder.

> People are out there claiming that GPT is doing all their coding for them. I just don't see how, unless they simply did not know how to program at all.

I doubt it and certainly not for anything beyond basic. I've seen (and tried GPT's for code input a lot) and often they come back with errors or weird implementations.

I made one request yesterday for a linear regression function (yes, because I was being lazy). So was chatGPT... It spat out a trashy broken function that wasn't even remotely close to working - more along the lines of pseudo code.

I complained saying "WTH, that doesn't even work" and it said "my apologies" and spits out a perfectly working accurate function! Go figure.

1974 was pretty shitty in the UK too. The IRA was bombing pubs and shops several times a week, the coal miners union took advantage of the oil crisis to demand a massive pay hike, and went on strike, crippling the economy. The government couldn't give the miners union what they wanted because the other unions were watching and waiting, so instead the whole country switched to a 3 day working week and rationed street lighting (creating a kurfew).

Personally, I think the 3 day working week is a great idea though.

Kaiser Permanente has something similar for their med school in Pasadena. In 2019 they announced free med school tuition for the first 5 classes (through 2024). Unsurprisingly this attracts top talent, and there don’t appear to be any sort of strings attached (eg, stay employed with Kaiser for X years once you finish).

Their acceptance rate was 50/11,000 applicants last year (0.45%).

Yes, it's exactly 50/50. It's not hard to work out the details, as I did in another thread elsewhere on this article. Here goes:

-There's a 1/100 chance my door is a car, in which case it doesn't matter which of the others stays closed, it will always be a goat. The game will proceed, and switching will lose.

-There's a 99/100 chance my door is a goat, in which case the car is behind some other door. Choosing 98 out of 99 doors to open at random is the same as choosing 1 out of 99 doors to leave closed at random. So the chance that the car stays hidden in this case (so that switching will win) is 1/99, and 98/99 that the game ends early because the car is revealed.

-Adding it up, the game ends without the chance to make a choice 99/100 * 98/99 = 98/100 of the time. Of the remaining 2%, 1/100 comes from the first case (switching loses) and 99/100 * 1/99 = 1/100 comes from the second case (switching wins). The strategies are equally effective.
> renaming your product line every year like Apple and Xbox does.

Apple is famous for not updating product names. This year’s MacBook Pro is just “MacBook Pro”, same as last year’s, and so on since the beginning. You have to dig to get actual names like “M3, nov 2023” or the less ambiguous Mac15,3.

That said, I agree with you. Navigating the jungle of LLMs all over the place with utterly stupid naming schemes is not easy.
The weird thing about an economic model that allows that disparity to occur, is because it's some local maximum of effort to change.

There's enough people willing to sell their stake in the fight to the next few up in the economic ladder, in exchange for some small portion of the wealth owned by the rung above. The main driver being that small portion they get is still greater than any amount of wealth and power the person could access before. A change in the status quo means then losing the source of that wealth.

We land at a plateau because some critical mass of people (not even that many, globally speaking), accept that as OK, and their summed wealth and power outweighs everyone not in that tree. (With the amount that they care decreasing the further down you find yourself if you are in the tree.) Given the current system, we could widen that tree, so more people share in the wealth of the rich few by protecting them, and/or we can shorten the tree by reducing how much wealth one person can accrue. Either way, it's searching for a new local maximum where enough of the people living comfortably can choose to ignore the plight of the people suffering by protecting someone else. We do get some choice over the ratio though. It's just hard to get the ball moving, clearly.
Thanks for your trust. :)

Really? Other than the iPhone and Apple Watch which do have clear series naming, I find it basically impossible to determine if any particular Apple product name is the latest version or several years old. The iPads especially, and the MacBooks were pretty confusing until recently. The Apple TV and AirPods are also a bit of a mess. I wish they would just do for all of their products what they do for the iPhone, it would make things so much simpler. But even then, the iPhones are not clearly labeled on the products themselves. If someone hands you a random iPhone, it’s impossible to tell what model is unless you have encyclopedic knowledge of the exact differences between all the different iPhones, or you have the unlock passcode and can get into the settings>about menu.

Slater's correction may still be fair, despite the context of this being an American school, because it's a headline from a British website..
"FIRE" is a "life strategy" like telling someone "have a money tree in your backyard" is a life strategy.

Employers are loathe to give raises. Employers are loathe to even inflation adjust one's current pay. Putting in more work == no reward.

Even the strat of "job hop as fast as recruiters permit" chalks up only the most modest of gains, and certainly nowhere near FIRE territory unless you're lucky.

Please elaborate. I see more expressivity, but I see no clear trend regarding comprehensibility.
> the fact they all contain goats is pretty suggestive that I have the car, or at least 50/50

That's exactly the point. If he doesn't know, then it's exactly 50/50 and there is no reason to switch. If he does know, then it's 1/NUM_DOORS versus NUM_DOORS-1/NUM_DOORS, so you'd be crazy not to switch.

The point is, if he picks at random, in the 100 door case, the vast majority of the time he will open the car door while opening those 98 doors. The case where you get to pick again would be exceedingly rare. Conversely, if he only opens goat doors, you will get your second pick 100% of the time.
That doesn't sound fair to me either. The subset of people who have benefitted from polluting won't have to foot the clean-up bill. So those who want lush, temperate, and healthy surroundings may have to take charge, even though it isn't fair. I certainly feel grumpy about those who benefit from polluting, when others have to deal with the effect. It would be nice if they were more responsible, so we didn't have to figure this all out. I gave up on that happening, and instead have started to change my own part in this. It's a shift from the justice model to the effectiveness model.
