I’m not seeing any ambitious people trying to get into Chinese undergrad universities. I know a handful of folks who worked at them, and then found a more permanent position in the US.

I usually do ask the llm what parameters to use. But that’s why I know so little about parameters!

I read the Oppenheimer biography, so maybe that’s distorting things. Oppenheimer was Jewish, but very Americanized. Bohr was working on radar for the Nazis. Einstein had surprisingly little knowledge of nuclear physics, and famously rejecte

Do you have source on this? I’d love to learn more beyond our contradicting assumptions.

I’m reassured by the fact that grads of non-Ivy Leagues do extremely well. The focus on Harvard is really overblown.

I don’t feel the same. My own alma mater is a niche school. It officially gives admissions pref to legacies, but unofficially depends on parents sending their kids as the school is not well known. Harvard on the other hand - people go to Ha

That was not my takeaway from the Oppenheimer movie. Or from … history. The Germans chose to extremely underinvest in their nuclear program to maintain financial and political support for their rocket program. The rocket program was so fund

Cornell guys are assholes. I know this from experience. I hope it’s changed, but doubt it has.

Are American universities really turning out engineers with high GPAs and relevant coursework that are unqualified? Or even create a disadvantage for their employer? I mean realistically you don’t know how good an engineer is until they get

How much do you use? I have lots of trouble figuring out what the limits are of a system with x amount of vram and y amounts of ram. How do you determine this?

I’m thinking more paper and scrolls. Not to mention things like tombstones or the occasional name carved into buildings - usually related to donors. The media matters: an email list, a scroll, a name carved into stone, and a tattoo are quit

I’ve read the GDPR has zero impacts on national security/law enforcement. It applies weakly to other state functions. I’ve also seen cases where GDPR is used against religious groups that have a strong religious justification for keepi

European countries aren’t known for strong privacy against the state. There are exceptions, but the EU’s “privacy rights” are almost exclusively against corporations. American privacy, by contrast, is almost exclusively focused on state sur

Is it 128 gb ram or vram?

Was that written by AI? It sounds like AI, spends lots of time summarizing other posts, and has no listed author. My AI alarm is going off.

I was hoping AMD would keep making gaming cards, now that NVIDIA is an AI company. Somebody has to, right?

This is the sort of thing employers are failing on. They sign contracts that assume employees are going to be logging in and asking questions directly. But if I don’t have a url for my IDE (or whatever) to call, it isn’t useful. So I use Ol

When you are C-suite, every comment you make is a legal statement. The big concern (usually) is misleading shareholders.

That sort of "ABC" simplicity is just good rhetoric.

You’ve correctly hit the atonement v redemption distinction! That’s something few English speakers could do!

“The Shawshank Redemption” is a nonsense phrase in English. “Shawshank” sounds like a place name, but why a specific place would be the source of redemption is mysterious. The name of the source text, “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemp

Scripture is pretty clear the name of Christ matters. The genealogies refer to a specific individual, not a message. The Epistles even single out Christ’s name as worthy of praise. The messages of the gospel aren’t obvious, or obviously goo

It’s a legit religion. People go every Sunday for prayer, worship, etc. Political movements tend to be ecumenical - across religious boundaries. The Civil Rights movement was a political movement, as was the labor movement, etc.

What does Europe imagine their relationship with Silicon Valley looking like? I'm looking for examples here - Israel has a very specific relationship with the tech sector, as does Taiwan, China, South Korea, etc. Even within the US, No

You're basically saying Western European countries' relationships with the US haven't changed much since the Cold War.

Is this something that has been rigorously studied? Like multiple follow-ups? This article is from 2002 - twenty years ago. It cites several other studies, which seem not great overall. One studied a driving simulator, the others looked at
