True, but only for things that that your colleagues don't expect you to know already. Remember the "I'll circle back" meme about Jen Psaki? This response can only be used sparingly before it's seen as a sign of unde

You misunderstand: they are requiring families to list all of their income and assets so they can decide how much of a discount to give you. See, they're just trying to help.

They make it hard to be considered separate from your parents because if it was easy, every student would do it upon reaching age 18. What I found wild was that they felt entitled to 1/3 of my assets every year. The lesson is: spend yo

This seems like an incomplete take. Part of the reason colleges want these kids is because their stats (GPA, test scores) help the college with their rankings. Separately, I question how wealthy the families are that are contributing $60k&#

This is an interesting goal. I would agree in general, but in the age of AI I'm feeling like much of the 'labor' being done is done by AI.

Imagine there's a best-selling toaster. Amazon can recommend it and many people will be happy buying it. Then, one day a new toaster comes out, and it might be even better than the old best-seller. How would it get sufficient traction

Oh cool, will look into this. Have only used it to make podcasts in the past. I'm a little hesitant to build in a walled garden though. I'd rather store things in an open format that can be used with many platforms, not just the o

How do you plan to make this newfound knowledge 'stick'? Do you have enough relevant/related knowledge that you'll remember it? Or is there a way to have Gemini make a bunch of cards for use with spaced repetition softwa

In my mind, the externalities of reckless driving are much greater than getting credit on bad terms.

I respect that position, and you're right that not everyone is smart enough to make good choices for themselves. I don't carry a balance on my credit cards, which makes me somewhat smart, but I also don't follow all the subre

Payday loan places don't know what you're using the cash for. They just give you a cash advance that you can spend on groceries, rent, drugs, or whatever else you want. BNPL platforms know what you're spending on, and whether

I can sort of understand using BNPL for seasonal purchases like Christmas gifts, to spread the payments over time. But using them to pay for utilities or rent seems like a colossally bad idea. In general, I don't favor regulation of lo

It says it only applies to passages over 200 words, so you could use a different LLM to rephrase every other paragraph and undermine the watermarking.

His complaint seems to center on conversations between him and the LLM, not copy being written for publication elsewhere. That is, if Claude is going to teach him a new skill, he wants it to pick the most accurate words possible, not "

And I'm sure students will use tools to have every other paragraph written in the style of a different AI, in an attempt to defeat this fingerprinting.

I appreciate the new AI-slop-reporting button, and I imagine LI will use it to improve their own algorithms so they can detect and down-weight AI on their own. At the same time, LI's top level algorithm wants to push a bunch of uninter

Replying to your edit: Amazing that you again allege insincerity, with zero evidence. You then go on to make false claims about what I said and avoid the obvious point that my problem is not with the historical figure that you quoted, but t

How does any of this make my comment insincere? Even if I agreed with it, I wouldn't understand how it proves your original accusation. I also don't love your injection of flame-bait racial comments, which probably violate HN guid

Seeing the title, I expected this to be a blog post trying to convince me what to blog about, written by a person who does not yet understand if his perspective is correct.
