If the pay only lasts for a year, you might reconsider it as a career path.

Lol. There are no experienced manufacturing staff in the US anymore, full stop. This isn't a matter of the price of labor. The US has forgotten how to manufacture things. Do you remember when Apple stopped making the Mac Pro in Austin

This is my point. Literacy rates in the US blow compared to other developed countries.

Sure... but I went to a public high school, got a 1590, and did not spend day and night studying nor did my parents have any expectation of me to perform well in school. I was just really lucky to go public schools with teachers who cared

They literally went on a hiring binge from 2020-2021, so... in my opinion, yes. Sure there's bleak outlook, but you have no idea how many people I know from different companies who jumped ship from some 2nd-3rd tier co to work for the

The article is wrong. You should still play if there's positive expectancy and the money you spent won't be missed (i.e. you won't be ruined.) See https://quantwolf.com/doc/powerball/powerball.html

Facebook employs over 58K people. This is not a big deal especially considering tech went on a * massive* hiring binge recently. [0] Facebook had a recruiting crisis in 2021: https://www.protocol.com/workplace/facebook

Most useful takeaway from this article: If you choose to play the lotto, don't use cute numbers. Odds are high that other people will too, and you'll have to split the pot. > Part of the explanation surely lies in the unusually

> it doesn't matter how ethicists want "the general public" to use AI Something tells me these pricks will end up arguing for a reversion to thin-client compute. It is in their financial interest too after all.

Hmm... so we're going to give money to wealthy universities so they can in turn give it to local communities instead of trying to develop good K-12 schools directly? Brilliant.

I have no issue with racial composition. I have no issue with Apple hiring the best technologist independent of race. To me, gentrification is a symptom that the people being "displaced" did not have * equal opportunity* to becom

I already use GPT for this purpose, and it works terrifyingly well. You can even ask it for citations, and it provides you with a link. Beware--it's prone to bullshitting. This one time I asked it for the symptoms for pulmonary hyperte

This is backwards. We need do this type of investment at the pre-K, elementary, and middle school levels. We need to provide funding to local communities. If all these top tier colleges (I'm looking at squarely my alma mater--Duke--as

Wrong. Astrazeneca delivered. Japan didn't need them all. > Japan has since canceled a contract for 62.3 million doses, and of the already acquired supply, it gave some 44 million doses to other countries free of charge. The remaini

That's microecon (which I agree is meh). Macroecon is very useful. Anticipating how governments and central banks will react in the face of economic conditions can make you a better business operator and investor.

This point is really bizarre: > The expectations at the college or university level seem to be falling. In other words, the AP course has actually adapted more to changing and challenging economic conditions, particularly macroeconomic o

Copilot is a verbose savant heavily afflicted by Dunning-Kruger... but an extremely useful one. Do you remember how Googling was a skill? Learning to Copilot, Stable Diffusion, GPT are exactly the same thing. Copilot's full power (at t

I'm not afraid to say Burry is wrong. White-collar jobs will boom, but they'll be outsourced. Work from home changes nothing about labor needs only labor location. If anything, work-from-home is a net productivity negative for lar

Unfortunately, foreign governments only care about their own strategic interests, not Iranians. Do you forget who flew in Khomeini?
