Maybe the best universities are in the U.S. For undergraduate I don't think it matters that much as you're far enough removed from the state of the art at that point anyway- you'll probably get about the same level

I agree my reply was flippant because I was annoyed by the original comment, and I apologise for that. The US provides and provided a ton of assistance to Israel but there’s a tendency online for people (probably mostly Americans?) to assig

And how does this explain Israel's abnormal birth rate (what ImHereToVote suggested in the parent comment)? I claim it's unrelated and is mostly to do with cultural and religious norms. If the US starts sending proportional milita

US economic aid to Israel ended in 2007 (18 years ago). The US since then only provides Israel with military aid (most of which is only allowed to be spent buying US-made goods). It’s more of a subsidy for the US military-industrial complex

Lots of things I don’t know how to do and can spend time learning, many will be better use of that time and effort than reimplementing a game engine from scratch vs using middleware.

Between 1985 and 2025 we went from programming in 8086 assembly language to high level languages like python, typescript and go. These automate a lot of the drudgery of programming in asm, so why has the overall demand for programmers not d

The jokes were mostly about startup time for the JVM (only happens once as when its in RAM it stays there and the loading time doesn't repeat for the next java program you run). It was also a lot more notable in the 90s when java was a

the principle engineer may have a lot of money but also still has a job with a boss and thus probably still hears (or know they can potentially hear) "no".

It doesn't take much to get the price up to low 5-figure USD (inflation UN-adjusted similar to lower end SUN workstation prices)...Max CPU and max RAM already bring you to $10k without a monitor.

That AI is dangerous and the closer we get to the danger zone the better it would be if the companies developing these technologies understand it might be better to slow down and make sure it's safe vs pushing ahead at maximum speed.

The argument is war. If china and the us go to war tomorrow, the us is at an industrial disadvantage. Does this mean you need to build “everything”? No, that would be inefficient (and probably unrealistic). But the more critical something i
