Because during the Cold war information was able to be more efficiently split up between different mutually independent spheres. Now it's more of a free for all because of global Internet access. So yes, you could call it a "cold

Probably pent up rage w.r.t. beurocracy we've all experienced in college? I agree with you that it seems that there might be something missing from the story. The standard response and advice of talking to a lawyer I think is still goo

The US has a decidedly liberal viewpoint on education. Sports ability is in some sense an educational endeavor. The ancient Greeks called it "athletics". So US educational institutions don't really have any hangup against tre

Very common at larger state universities that have been around a long enough time to have a significant sports following. It makes sense if you do the math. Newer schools and smaller schools, typically not so much. A lot of what we do in th

When you put it in terms of total number of people...it does make sense. A lot of universities down here in Texas have a small town+ amount of students and faculty and they tend to have their own police departments and other services.

Realistically, and obviously I'm not a lawyer, but if it was developed as part of a course, I can see how that might (not saying I agree with it) make the IP rights assignment more complicated and maybe the university would have a leg

That's a wild oversimplification, it of course applies to state and local governments as well and has for a long time. A public university is a state entity.

Not having access to the dataset really makes the whole thing seem incredibly shady. Totally valid questions you are raising

This is underdiscussed. I don't think people understand just how worthless AI is in a ton of fields until it is able to be held liable and be sent to prison. There are a lot of moral conundrums that are just not going to work out with

I agree, these are good points.

If it's genuinely what you say, then how is what is going on not slavery? I don't believe AGI is possible but if it was and it was as subjective as you say what is and isn't conscious, then it starts to take on an even more a

I agree with you about the fair use argument. Seems like it doesn't meet a lot of the criteria for fair use based on my lay understanding of how those factors are generally applied. See https://fairuse.stanford.edu/over

I don't think it is at all selfish to want to get some credit for going to the trouble of publishing novel content and not have it all stolen via an AI scraping your site. I'm totally on your side and I think people that don'

strang's would be something that is entry level in terms of linear algebra. I think they should clarify whether they want somebody that has passed a linear algebra class with high marks based on something like strangs' entry level

Plenty of people can pass a drug test. That's not the issue I guarantee it. It might slightly help their hiring but it's not the root cause of difficulties, and I seriously doubt compensation is a root cause either.

Realistically, there are plenty of competent people they could hire for any low six figures amount (unless they are directly in the DC area, in which case add 20-30k for cost of living). 500-600k or half of that is a unicorn salary that doe

Other countries are free to compete, nobody is arguing otherwise, but it is explicitly the right of any country to determine who is allowed to compete within their nation. What people want or deserve is irrelevant. If you live elsewhere and

How do you know they are on par for the role if you are part of the program intended (by the detractors) to push down wages for everybody? Seems that there is no way you could possibly determine that given the circumstances besides speculat

Not all software that people want to run can be efficiently parallelized. There's still a place for larger caches / fatter cores instead of blowing up core count. In traditional web serving tasks and particularly for commercial cl

This doesn't sound like Dunning-Kreuger to me. You sound well aware of the fact that being able to put out working python code doesn't necessarily mean you fully understand all of the best practices and idioms that the particular

I 100% agree with your take and suspect most actual "seniors" do as well. Eventually most seniors should come to the realization that expecting there to be a "senior" oriented platform is unrealistic for a variety of rea

This is a bad question cause it comes off as judgmental and everything... But what do you think you are getting out of a "platform" when it comes to learning a language? I agree with keyle that you'll learn more working on a

There's definitely nothing wrong with them. But we a matter of risk mitigation, it's obvious why people wish to put themselves in a situation where they don't wind up in the situation or being dependent on a single income (th

Honestly, I think the bit about not depending on somebody is something that would help if we drilled it in to young boys as well. Totally agree about how women should go to school of course. I'm not sure there was anybody in this chat

Yep, this is credential inflation in a nutshell. Don't fall through the cracks in the future, if you do then maybe you'll wind up as a neanderthal that couldn't pass college algebra.

Right. Those both sound horrifying to me. I suppose I'll leave it at that. If those don't terrify you then I guess we just don't really have similar temperament as people and that's totally okay with me. I did enjoy disc

It's highly dependent on what you are using it for, so I think the variability in usefulness is totally predictable. That doesn't make me some fancy scientist level programmer (I'm definitely not) that I often find my attempt
