The appreciation presumably does not include all the money you spent just maintaining the house, or all the fees involved in both buying and selling. And the costs don't include remodeling the new house so that it's got the things you liked about the old one, or the cost of moving. I'm not arguing home ownership is a bad investment, it's been a good one for me. But every time I look into the actual cost of trading up houses, the calculation gets really complicated, and doesn't look as cut and dry as it did on the back of the envelope.

Well, that’s partially because of the converse: a company that optimizes for robustness will get stomped flat before the environment changes to require robustness. Short term games are bad in the long term, but often good enough in the short term to win before the long term arrives.
If your lens views Universities as a work training substitute their view would be accurate. If you view the University as Universus (Latin for Universe or everything) then what they offer is quite unique. Arguably all do not fulfill all of these.

1. A kinder gentler form of kicking your child out of the nest and learning to be on their own.

2. A no mac-education environment were students can participate in research and learn how to answer question that are not yet answered as opposed to regurgitation.

3. Learning to socializing as adults.

4. Meeting groups of people that spend their days thinking deeply about specific subjects. These people can then be used as resources for society as a whole to solve problems and make decisions.

5. Exposure to just about everything we know or think we know about everything.

If you do not view them as such then I would agree they are not worth the effort or expense. Industry can afford to train their own automatons. Which is one of the reasons they are salivating over AI at this very moment.
To me, this brings up all sorts of anxieties around how I could possibly function (professionally) if I lost my eyesight... and what I would practice in advance if I have reason to expect problems.
My point is that unless you're living in the woods, you have to pay for maintenance. Maintenance has a cost, but not an opportunity cost. If you choose to invest in tech or gold or whatever instead of a home, then you're still paying indirectly for maintenance for whatever structure you're occupying.

At least as a homeowner you do have the freedom to advance or defer certain maintenance work according to your budget.

After tedu's comment here I installed 7.5 in a VM and could build and run my Go software in it successfully, so I figured there were some Go build or config files or something somewhere getting in the way. I pkg_delete'd go, removed every Go build/config file I could find, and re-added Go with pkg_add. Now I can build apps with the previously mentioned modules; everything works fine now.

Thank you for the responses. :-)

You can ask Windows to try and remember the location. It's not fool proof, but it works 90% of the time.

I have a hard time believing this. Every course I took in college had at least 15 people and usually 30-50 people. Large classes like Calculus 1-2, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations had at least 300 people. There is no way you cannot pay the salary + legitimate overhead for 1 profess, and 1-10 TAs with these class sizes. My guess is a lot of the money does not go to instruction but goes to administration, sports palaces (stadiums), luxury dorms, etc. Colleges used to be MUCH cheaper in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The education was just as good but cost far less.

The big problem with colleges today is they are "non-profit" in name only. Instead, of giving profits to shareholders, they are giving them to employees and insiders. This hurts students and the United States. However, colleges do not care because they, their employees, and friends benefit.

Commercial goals and no regulation that desires everyone to pass the same accreditation, and only that same accreditation.

In theory, doing it 'better' than the competition is good, in practise this just means there will always only be a handful that are actually better and they will capitalise on that as much as possible. But purely regulating everything into the ground also doesn't help.

Not sure if this is even fixable, because it is a complete ecosystem that is highly lucrative (money, status, offloading HR to the schools) for everyone except the students and teachers (professors). You can also wonder if the goal of just providing good education is something people are even interested in, it's so much more geared towards a 'future fabrication factory' where the learning stuff part is secondary to the "follow this track go get a shot at job XYZ" part that everything is minmaxing for.

They might apply, but certainly won't attend if they are admitted to Stanford, Yale, etc. The higher the price differential, the more likely people would be willing to take a 'prestige' hit and go to the lower cost school.

Anyone applying from a family making 400k a year (top 2%) would still be sensitive to an 80k vs 240k/year sticker price change.

I don't think you're wrong, but I think that food and accommodations would be better places to start the unbundling with.

A lot of US schools require you to live on campus and pay for campus food, which is a perfect example of bundling if there ever was one. As a European, the fact this is legal seems absurd and ridiculous to me.

> The rise of bootcamps and micro-certifications teach people 80% of the stuff in 20% (or less) of the time, and at fractions of the cost as well.

It really depends on what you sorts of jobs you're talking about. There's a bunch of work available in the vast realm of "computer jobs" that are essentially on the intellectual level of plumbing or hvac repair and indeed, college is a waste of time for those sorts of jobs and boot camps are fine. I'm not denigrating it, that's mostly what I do. I wire together systems that other people mostly developed and do a bunch of troubleshooting and most of the value I bring is on-the-job experience with the systems involved.

There's also a lot of cutting edge R&D and dev work that does indeed benefit from an academic background, and you don't really have to look any further than open ai for that. But even outside of machine learning, a lot of people have built companies on taking academic research papers and turning them into products.
I've heard 5-7 years, but that may be with much lower than the 20% down.
I do the same, either my Dock, my Laptop or my screens, or all together give some weird issues where the screens turn on every 5 minutes and go to sleep.

And searching for 'Dock screen wakes up during sleep' just floods <search engine> with 'screen does not wake up after sleep'. And with <search engine>'s removal of respecting + and -, I am not sure I'll ever find a solution...

Fair, but two perpendicular Flatlands embedded in the same 3D space won't be able to agree on which is the fourth dimension. It's fine as a shorthand when Flatlanders talk to each other, but "the fourth dimension" still won't be an unambiguous direction, for Flatland A it's actually one of Flatland B's two dimensions, and vice versa. For us any dimensions perpendicular to the entire universe will be "special", but only for us. Native four dimensional critters won't see what's so different about the ana/kata axis, unless our universe happens to be their tabletop RPG.

This problem would be solved immediately by making student loans dischargeable in bankruptcy. The easy money would evaporate and a lot of colleges would have to figure out how to make money on lower tuitions.

Not at all.

Go to one of those almost-free european colleges, and then compare the experience to a US college. The US colleges expect most students to come from far away, live on a big, expensive, beautiful campus and have massive efforts in student lifestyle. Sport facilities, museums, academic support, actual office hours... it's closer to expensive, private EU universities. Most EU universities don't do that, and they are ran to cut costs. The expense per student is low, on purpose.

They might both be called universities, but it's completely different goods. The transformations of European schools to be available to the masses just didn't happen in the US, and therefore the prices are through the roof. Give any American university the budget per student than a German or Spanish university has, and they'd have to just close, because they aren't built for it.

Private loans aren't dischargeable in bankruptcy.
232k would also be a pretty solid number.

> and research

Why research? Why not go further and cut that bit out and just leave teaching?

I'm not convinced that the best place to teach student is necessarily the best place to do research at, and I'm pretty sure that your competence at being a good researcher has very little to do with your competence at being a good teacher.

I’m just an amateur but it seems like the argument above yours is pretty airtight, just based on the difference between the mathematic definition of Dimension (“…is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify any point within [a space]”) and the colloquial definition (“a space”) which your last sentence seems to rely on.

If I’m reading the first paragraph of Wikipedia right (surely an airtight source for a pedantic argument about advanced mathematics!) “dimensionality” is an adjective describing a space (a set?), so saying that we moved to “the fourth dimension” is about as meaningful as saying we moved to “The Euclidean” or “the big”. Rather than “a euclidean space” or “a big space”.

That said you’re colloquially absolutely correct, of course. If I was giving advice to fiction writers or journalists I’d definitely endorse your common-sense argument.

Hyper-inflation is caused by collapse of the economy - if you can't produce enough for basic needs then there is always deficit - you can only get the product when you pay more than others. Soon prices will rise to the level where nobody can satisfy basic needs and this demands rise of the salary. This cycle will continue until basic needs can be satisfied.

In the late 90s I was in the last year of high school. Silicon Graphics came to do a demo of their hardware for students that were interested in taking a computer science course at university in the following year.

The graphics demos looked like trash, basically just untextured and badly shaded plain colored objects rotating on the screen. For reference I was playing Quake III around the time which had detailed textures and dynamic lighting.

I asked the SGI presenter what one of his Indigo workstations cost. He said $40,000, not including the graphics card! That’s extra.

I laughed in his face and walked out.

I'm not saying it was a sensible decision, but I think at that level you kinda need to have a few balls in the air. Having a few projects using ML or whatever else is in vogue is defensible, might be a win, might build some expertise, shows you're in touch with the current thing etc.
I do think creativity can be taught, and that it involves instilling values that enforce iterative making and experimentation to achieve results that are both novel (originality) and deliberately targeted (craftsmanship).

What will happen when people not only compete against each other for work, but also against machines?

The structure of capitalism allocates human workers away from things machines are better at, the market value of that product comes down, the owner of the machines builds wealth. Standard stuff.

Please, stop. You didn't say depriving the seriously mentally ill and the terminally drug addicted of agency. You said it about homeless people, justifying with a plausible, but not confirmed, argument that they are mentally ill, drug addicted, or both.

I too want the mentally ill and drug addicts to be helped, and even conced that, in those cases, it might need to be necessary to treat them against their will, but to just incarcerate (because good psychiatric care is expensive, and the US, it seems, can't even afford universal healthcare on par with the average European country) them even though they have not been convicted of any crimes.

Maybe the problem (which seems easily fixable), is more "rizz collapse", aka blandness, than this "knowledge collapse".

The model hasn't forgotten the diversity of material it was trained on, but outside of a context predicting a "long tail" response, it's going to predict a mid response. You can always prompt it to respond differently though.

Blandness is more of an issue since that's what most-probable word-by-word generation is going to give you, rather than the less predictable, but more interesting, responses that an individual might give. Prompting could help by asking the model to reply in the idiosyncratic style of some celebrity, but this is likely to come across as a cheesy impression. Maybe the models could be trained to generate conditioned on a provided style sample, which could be long enough to avoid the cheesiness.
