What they call "gross profit" is an accounting standard, defined in GAAP, and a standard part of every financial statement. If we're talking about profit from the lens of a unit sale, we're usually talking about gross pr

The article never said that kids from families earning over $200k pay full tuition. I do think the function could look pretty dang steep around $200k-- if you are in a low cost of living state with significant investments and one kid. But

You have said this twice, but it's not accurate. Harvard provides 100% of demonstrated need; just it works out that they cover all for those earning under $200k (plus all food/housing under $100k). So e.g. if you make $210k/y

I do think finance is important in making markets more efficient, predictable, and liquid. In turn, this improves the amount of capital available and also improves the efficiency and availability of international trade. It's also a so

No. It's not literally infinite contrast. On the other hand, there's very little light spill from DLP--- and what little there is, is attenuated by a really big factor by the LCD. I'd guess the limiting factor is light scatt

Some people (e.g. Penrose) reject this, believing that there's something mystical about human thought-- perhaps a soul, perhaps some quantum magic.

This depends upon the approach. The person you replied to mentioned inertial confinement. If this is used, we'll get pulses that each need to be triggered (with energy gain). Other approaches (e.g. conventional tokamaks) aim to prod

The problem is we don't exactly have a surplus of surgeons. The choice could be between a below average surgeon and no surgeon. Part of this is the AMA cartel artificially limiting the supply of residencies.

Alternatively, we understand it well, and discard bad completions immediately. When I'm using llama.vim, like 40% of what it writes in a 4-5 line completion is exactly what I'd write. 20-30% is stuff that I wouldn't judge co

Yes-- this is well put. Of course, in this case, the engine doesn't think this is a particularly reasonable move; the evaluation just fails to show how bad it would be for a human-- even a near-superhuman chess player like prime Fische

Yah, I'm not saying that a way to figure out the "difficulty of position" is to simply count the number of "only moves" or a volatility measure. There's sometimes a sequence of obvious trades to make, and that
