Well that‘s exactly why I‘m criticizing that statement. It places an undue amount of trust in the state of our mind regardless of what that state may be at any time and calls that truth.

It‘s not more trivial than „Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.“ which is a useless criterion even for scientific facts. What you‘re suggesting about a false belief is an „unknown unknown“ so again the cri

Only physical facts that do not affect our subjective consciousness. For example if the earth is flat or round. Actually, let me make a stronger statement than before: Even for scientific facts the statement is weak. If I stop believing tha

But the quote is only great on one level. If we give it some thought it is not so great. Why? Because our mind evolved as a tool for survival of our self which is to say as a tool for survival of that which may pass on the genes which creat

The commission has a member of each EU country and those members come from the elected governments. It‘s just like the government is not elected in many countries but instead the parliament is elected and that votes for a prime minister who

That was true 200 years ago and maybe even 200.000 years ago. Some day there will be no more growth - but it could be another 200.000 years.

Perhaps, only because the sky is blue we perceive blue as blue. If the sky were red we would perhaps perceive all red like we do blue. Our perception of the important colors (sky blue, ocean blue, vegetation green, …) probably evolved along

How is this different from running pirated software for example? Big business doesn‘t do it. And if they do they get fined heavily. Same should be true for illegal AI training data. Surely this is a problem that can be solved.

Your definition of programming is too narrow. It‘s like saying writing is easy, every 6 year old can do it.

Not exactly. But generally making less harmful drugs legal would help - generally the more prohibition the stronger the drugs become.

„It's weird to say, but we should crash the economy if it can slow down climate change.“ You can do this exactly once. Afterwards the cause will be severely discredited and no candidate doing even moderate climate change policies will

— The tech we're all so convinced will "make the world a better place." — That was true 15 years ago … I don‘t hear this often anymore.

It seems like there is a project on github called simple-rsc that works without Next.

No? I mean it seems like a stretch. Where would the LLM learn the initial English-to-Moo mapping for cows? Maybe if we would have a mapping we could use that to train an LLM. In the meantime you can try asking ChatGPT if a cow has buddha na

Probably due to „dilution“ where the number of shares is expanded, leading to lower value per share. I was surprised by this, too. It‘s perhaps the most important thing to know when working for startups or investing in them.

This is spot on, I also use it to write bash scripts where I could never remember the exact syntax to accomplish a task.

Munich. And TUM is at Garching. And I paid 70. I know what I paid. It was 70 every month, year after year.

Really? I never thought that could possibly be interpreted as cost per year. I can clarify that. My point is that the statement that salaries can be low because university has no cost is wrong. The cost is significant even without tuition a

Which country? I should have clarified that I‘m talking about Germany which is certainly part of Europe. And for sure nobody here gets 3000 per month. In Germany students receive no grant (other than the regular Kindergeld for children) unl

Good for you. I paid around 70 per month and it only covered the subway network between my apartment and the university. Or whole network for 85. That‘s not exactly cheap.

by quonn 3y ago
Well. I‘m just telling you what is required by law. In some sense the fact that you feel like they could not easily pay the costs just supports what I was saying. Namely that it is a cost not be neglected by saying „oh it‘s free here“.

The comment I replied to did not mention tuition costs. The claim was that incomes can be low because there is not cost for letting students study. And the costs are absolutely there. The fact that some of the best US universities have outr

If you are a parent you need to save this money and pay it. Some students sue their parents for that every year in Germany (most know they have an obligation). Google it. For the family this is a real cost.

Here is a realistic estimate for Munich. A room costs minimum 350 Euros or may easily cost 1000. Food and going out costs at least 100 Euros or healthy food 200-300. The subway ticket at that time cost 70 per month. There are some additiona

As I said in my comment it has nothing to do with tuition fees.

Bachelor + Masters is 10 semesters usually. 1000 * 12 * 5 = 60.000. Well in the range that I quoted. And depending on the city the actual costs can be more.

Parents have to pay for university in Europe unless they are poor. And while there are no fees, the costs are typically between 30k and 100k per child. edit: In Germany. I‘m German and I have studied there. I should know. edit2: Someone sai

I never need this. Just the work to get the code out of ChatGPT correctly is usually more effort than writing it. And besides - most of the time there is a huge amount of context and ChatGPT knows nothing about it. I touch dozens if not hun
