Didn't Bill Gates say AI metacognition is the key to superintelligence

If I could relearn mathematics starting from elementary school, I'd get my hands on the AOPS books (Art of Problem Solving) and go through them on my own. They inspired my daughter sufficiently to pursue a math major in college.

Working on one and will post in the next day

After all, they have to pay the administrator salaries somehow.

Instead of competing with the fresh grads, he should use his age to his advantage. Learn COBOL, and he'll be in-demand by US big banks/financial/insurance companies for the next 100 years.

This is how American higher education gets hallowed out by opportunistic administrators that have carved out high-paying jobs in the non-profit sector.

Likely, this allows both SA and China to reduce their dollar reserve assets, especially since the dollar has been weaponized against Russia and Afghanistan in recent days.

Monitors: 1 - slack, teams, discord 2 - email, zoom 3 - markets monitor 4,5,6 - streaming news, tv 7, 8 - coding/work

I have the monitors mounted, stacked 2x2 on each side and tilted forming a semi-circle.

Use it for a multi-monitor setup? I've got 8 monitors connected to my desktop thru two old GPUs.

A lot of truth in this: '...young founders are more financially constrained than more experienced ones, leading them to cede upside to investors at a lower price. In other words, younger entrepreneurs may be a better “deal” for investors than more experienced founders.'

Colab is a cheap (free) way to start, though you won't be training very large models for very long (which you shouldn't be doing if you are a beginner). You learn a different set of skills when you put together your own rig and install/maintain the libraries, which is something I recommend everyone to try just go gain an appreciation of devops skills. But that's not a necessary diversion for a beginner (and may needlessly increase the learning curve).

It's not entirely painless for the West, given Russia's key position as supplier of wheat, fertilizer, and natural gas. Inflation will be kicking around for a while (even without trillion dollar stimulus programs) and creating economic distress for most.

This 996 culture also exists in Taiwan (a democracy). Hard-work is a core part of Chinese Confucian philosophy (as is competitiveness). Many of my Chinese & Taiwanese coworkers have told me they emigrated overseas to US and EU just so they can work less (while still working more than everyone else in the company).

While slavery is forced labor, 996 is more about people trying to get ahead. During my wall street days, I elected to work 8 am - 2 am, 7 days a week for subpar pay, all because of future potential rewards. Many of my peers dropped out due to the pressure and didn't stick around for the big payoffs. If you interview them, no doubt they would consider themselves "slave labor."

Bud, if you think only China is playing the subsidy game, you are sadly mistaken: https://www.forbes.com/sites/taxnotes/2020/11/20/boeings-tax...
