>What's a "fair" charge? Students don't pay all of the costs to run a university even in the US, and certainly not outside the US

Outside the US yes. In the US, with what students pay (including the parts covered by subsidies and loans), they could run 2 universities, not just one!

Private colleges do exist outside the US, the students don't pay US college prices to study there, but they still manage to survive and be profitable. But the operating costs of US universities are absurdly high (because they can, not because they need to). Even the "a-list academics" with the huge salaries are more marketing assets to draw students in than real contributors to their education.

Even without the subsidies and loans, it should not be infeasible to have a university supported by tuition feeds and still be affordable and good. And with state subsidies it is

US universities are not coveted because they're so better, they're coveted because they give privileged access to the US market and in a vicious circle the US academic employments. It's where the money and prestige are at, that's their draw.

But kids studing in much cheaper universities Europe, Asia, and so on, come to the US and crush it, as graduate/post-graduate students, or working in IT or STEM. They oftensmoke US-born kid who studies as undergradutes in the US. So it's not like their much cheaper education and much cheaper universities were subpar.

And this means the US universities could also be much much cheaper and be good too. It's the incentives which are misaligned for that, not some impossibility...

Back in January, I acquired a SaaS newsletter called Category Surfers and rolled it up under my own – SaaS Weekly.

While the acquisition doubled my subscriber count overnight (to 4K subs), the process taught me a few things.

I would do these five things differently.

1. Co-marketing the acquisition announcement is a growth hack – I got over 60 subscribers from the posts

2. Look for publications that have both a topic overlap and a similar content format – the latter is more important than you think

3. Price in at least a 10 - 15% churn when setting the valuation – the relative valuation only increases with attribution even if the purchase price is fixed

4. Start emailing subscribers in batches, not all at once to save your IP/ domain health

5. Create a dedicated onboarding flow for these subscribers – you need to educate them/ sell them on WHY you should read your content

Curious if anyone did something similar and what they learned.

I appreciate that you made it, and I have heard good things from other language learners using LLMs. I think it’s awesome that you made the site! I’m mostly just very particular about my workflow and don’t like to rely on tooling to write. I realize that I may be privileged as a native English speaker also. Please don’t interpret my comments disparagingly, because they say more about my particular use case and quirks than they do about anything you have done here.
Frankly, I do not see a justification for this technology at this point. Sure it’s good but nothing is really comparable to an attentive operator when even one multi-thousand pound hunk of deadly steel is hurtling down the road, let alone hundreds and thousands, and lives at stake. It simply is madness.
Not just recruiters, but hiring managers.

I trained the model used to rate candidates’ resumes at a largish public company (based on hiring manager feedback signals), and when you inspected resumes with “CEO” as a job title the expected scores (all else being equal) were much lower.
I feel the same way about coding. I teach coding courses but I feel like a hypocrite. The great irony is that there are so few jobs for competent, experienced coders that I can't find a job coding myself so I have to teach it instead.

Though I guess maybe the market for junior coders may be OK? I feel like the last thing companies want are jaded senior engineers. They don't seem to care about security vulnerabilities and such.

I feel like one of the people selling shovels at the end of the gold rush. Though I guess coding is a good supplementary skill to have. A lot of my students are from other industries.

Once you've seen how the sausage is made in this industry, nobody wants you as a coder. They must assume that you're going to be a bitter old fart and cannot be relied on... I'm not even 40. It's particularly ironic since I have a perfect record in terms of integrity. There are millions of dollars of crypto relying on my open source software... The founders of the project are basically my enemies (treated me very badly for no good reason). I've been trusted with millions of dollars of crypto for half a decade in spite of personal financial struggles, being out of a job and having multiple citizenships with non-extradition policies. I'm the embodiment of perfect integrity in the face of adversity, yet seemingly cannot be relied on? That's why I sometimes entertain conspiracy theories about people in high positions being controlled via blackmail... If the system doesn't rely on (and doesn't value) individuals with proven high integrity, it must surely rely on (and value) compromised individuals acting purely in their self-interest.
What reasoning about the facts surrounding an applicant is not "bias"?

The term "bias" usually implies "unfair bias", like a lower likelihood of hiring some black, all else being equal.

Being an ex-enterpreneur isn't like being a woman, or black; it's a relevant piece of job background.

Would that person rather continue to be an enterpreneur? Are they here because they ran out of money, or got spooked, or burned out or whatever?

Curious how many who bought a Vision Pro are still using it?

My bet based on the success of Meta's RayBan Smartglasses Apple will be releasing their version in the next year or two. If you wear sunglasses and like / do take a good amount of photos/videos daily Meta's Rayban is a great solid and very useful product! I use them daily since buying them in October. This is a mass product like Apple Watch and personally per my use I think the next iPhone.

Vision Pro as of today is not a mass product yet they are trying to work towards getting to that point. Though today it's a mixed bag of features that do not enhance daily life much and or make things we already do easier.. Meta's RayBans do just that and more.
In the same way that CPUs are ASICs for integer operations, that makes sense to me.
> Then we'll see somewhat simpler, less general, and cheaper devices that do "AI" operations with as little excess hardware baggage as possible. Nice.

Apple has already been doing this for a few years now. The NPU is totally different from the GPU or CPU on the die itself[1]. Nvidia is likely working on this as well, but I think a device that's a gaming/entertainment/crypto/AI bundle (i.e. sticking with the video card) is probably a better business move.

> modify your career and work so it is compatible with or takes advantage of said disruption

You say this like it's something that anyone can do. Reskilling takes time, and not everyone is such the tech entrepreneur (or aspirant) as—perhaps—you are. I'd wager that most people that make these kind of pronouncements to others to lift themselves up by the bootstraps, have never experienced hardship, wouldn't know how to adapt to disruption, and were born into privilege. And those that really have the chops to 'take advantage of said disruption' in spite of having no privilege or leverage, are the minority.
Wait but nvidia tensor-cores are exactly the hardware that likes 16x16 tiles, no? I thought that was the whole point? The hardware is already here and I'm sceptical if there is another order of magnitude in performance to be gained from even more specialized designs.

I think it's just because he had no illusions as to the good and bad uses it would bring. I've used Palantir Foundry heavily at work, and it is good for remotely viewing events and communicating mind-to-mind to executives with pretty dashboards. Definitely nicer optics than their Gotham platform used by USA law enforcement since e.g. it helps Airbus identify issues on their plane fleets before they occur.

Plus from talking to the Palantir engineers, the CEO and Thiel are both weirdo nerds, so it's fitting.
> I would suggest to drop "Amateur" from the title in the sense that languages are useful both professionally and privately - you never know in what language your next deal will be signed, your next networking acqaintance bumps into you to make you the next job offer etc

I agree that knowing more languages can only help, but it's an awfully large time investment for that hypothetical benefit. Unless you're moving to a place or in love with a person that speaks it, learning a language seems pretty far down the list of time-efficient ways to improve your "professional and private" life. That's not to say people shouldn't pursue it, as hobbies go it seems like an edifying one, but unless you think it's fun, it doesn't seem very worth it.

> I want to experience my own story

Then why not write your own story? An LLM can't write your story for you. They're very bad writers. It can't even help much—its contributions are going to be dull and uninspired.

> the best stories are ones that you can help write yourself

If you're trying to co-create a story with someone in a play environment, the best analogy would be D&D or another role-playing game. And playing D&D with ChatGPT would be boring and unfun. It's just not a good storyteller. It's going to give you shit material. You'd be better-off cutting it out of the equation and just writing a story alone.

> LLMs will also be great at storytelling too

Will they? They're godawful at it right now, and they're not showing much sign of improving. Let's discuss the tech as it currently exists, rather than some speculative future version of it with imaginary capabilities.

> What you're not getting is that the storytelling will be cooperative.

No, I get that. But why would I want to cooperatively tell a story with a bad storyteller? I'd rather tell a story alone.

And actually now I am also wondering if Cap could be integrated with PeerTube so you could have which ever things Cap brings to the table aside from video hosting and have it either upload to PeerTube by API, or even having some version of Cap existing as a sort of plugin into PeerTube so that you could use it from within PeerTube

CDC estimates 48 million cases of foodborne illness per year in the US [0]. That works out to something like 1 case in 10,000 meals.

Maintaining proper temperature of cooked food is part of basic food safety. Right up there with having people that prepare food wash their hands. Basic food safety.

So no, a random anecdote does not prove the opposite. I don’t want to be snarky, but I can’t believe people are implying that basic food safety guidelines are disproven.

Edit to add: from the same CDC link, 128,000 people in the US are hospitalized from food borne illness and 3,000 die. I’m fine with someone choosing to ignore this for their own food. But please don’t make it sound like there’s no risk.

Most App Store developers aren't taking Apple up on its outside payments option
> Curious how many who bought a Vision Pro are still using it?

Little to no-one.

The minority of those who bought it are preparing to sell it and the majority of those who bought one already sold it with in the 14 day window.

Unsurprisingly predicted, it comes as to no surprise that the Vision Pro performed worse in sales and they had to cut production due to low demand.

Vision Pro was for the techies, early adopters and Apple fans. Not for the general public as I said before in [0]. Wait until the non-pro version of Apple Vision.

To downvoters: If the Apple Vision Pro was such a glamorous success then why are they cutting shipments for 2024 due to low demand then? [1][2]

No doubt in my mind: campy, perfunctory, self-mocking. Please recall how "nerd" material was treated before the 2000s,

I don't remember comic books being "nerd" material before the 2000s (like say computers or computer programming). They were "children's" material, and for whatever reason the market moved toward older teens and adults. The main comics weren't written/illustrated to be "campy, perfunctory, self-mocking", though an adult may have regarded them that way. Similar story with videogames.

Craftsmen work alone and are responsible for the entire product. Most software deve work in teams, sometimes large teams.

many of K's symbols are, in fact, familiar. the dyads + - * & | < > = have meanings that should be immediately obvious to most programmers, even if they don't initially appreciate how general the K versions of these primitives are.

some symbols have simple mnemonic associations to operations that are common; the monad # is "count", the dyad @ is "at-index", the dyad ? is "find".

primitives have enlightening symmetries that simplify memorization. the adverb / ("over") has a twin that captures a trace of intermediate steps, \ ("scan"). all valences of "over" have corresponding scans.

overall the set of primitive operations is very carefully chosen such that simple combinations fit together in many useful ways. more than simply saving keystrokes- which has benefits for interactively exploring data and algorithms- k provides an efficient way of thinking about and communicating a large range of algorithmic ideas to other k programmers.
