I got around 50-53 minutes in and lost track of what he was doing. There's a lot of configuration for OpenVPN. I'm also not trying very hard & just wanted to see what I can learn from him.
One of my favorite games growing up, Diablo 2, was remastered a few years ago. I remember seeing stories about a lot of 'woke' graphical changes. Something about Andariel's cleavage and midgets.
The article offers a few explanations. Aside from the abandonment of moral education, the one that stands out to me/comes to mind is the prioritization of scores. For example, I knew kids who started studying for the SAT as soon as they hit high school. They were taking the PSAT as early as 9th grade, maybe 10th. They were also busy outside of that with accelerated courses and other enrichment. And college was more of the same. Can anyone really say that this is balanced?
Attention and energy are finite. If success in education or in your job require a disproportionate amount of energy, then there's less to go around for giving a shit. It doesn't even have to be success, some people are struggling to make ends meet. So I guess that's the economy story?
The VAT is an broad tax that is eaten fully by the working class, and partially ignored by the owning class (the more you own, the easier it is).
I've never paid VAT on my school stuff (notebooks,pens...) because my uncle owned a company. His wife owned a sport shop and I never paid VAT on any of my sports equipment until 10 years ago when I realized how privileged I was. No VAT on most food because I lived on a farm (that I think is fair), and my other uncle managed to escape the VAT on solar panels by making his own roof a part of his power company. He still had to pay the VAT on his swimming pool (probably), but I'm pretty sure his cars were VAT-free until he sold everything (he had to buy them from himself).
VAT evasion is the reason why independent contractors should start a LLC that employ themselves instead of getting a 'self-employed' status, at least in my country.
Not parent, but a common criticism against VAT is that it broadly increases transaction costs which disproportionately burdens the less well off due to how their consumption is structured and that they have less to spend in the first place.
People internalize conversations and the thought processes that went into them. If I have a conversation with somebody, I often walk away remembering and understanding what somebody else said and why they said it. And these memories get used in future interactions. So just like the offloading of arithmetic likely resulted in people not being able to perform mental math, what would be the result of conversing with an AI that has hallucination/logical issues (a lesser intelligence)? Isn't it reasonable to guess that this will result in diminished reasoning?
I hadn't considered that. If that's the case then we should hope people simply copy and paste the output rather than try to engage with it or take it seriously.
Though in more practical economic terms, perhaps what we're being trained for is a future in which the typical worker has a low paying job sanity checking AI output rather than a higher paying job doing the work themself.
I thought it was an interesting article. Though, when there is a perceived lack of opportunity, I think people start taking greater risks to create opportunity. Isn't that a rational outcome?
I don't know what fraction of the nearly 3 hour long video we're supposed to watch before commenting. What's the point behind trying to diminish his legacy? Why spend so much time doing this? He's absolutely known for his science communication and character. But I would think long and hard before criticizing his technical achievements, even if I were in this lady's shoes. We're talking about a 30-40 year career. It's funny because she speaks as if we're misguided about his expertise, but spends the first ten minutes rambling about his pop science book and "fenyman bros". What the fuck?
Is there any real criticism of his achievements as a scientist? The video isn't bookmarked in such a way to make it easy to find.
An adequate summary of Collier's critique can be found in the video (starting at 1:56:13):
"I've started this whole project thinking: 'Oh my God, I hate Richard Feynman. He's such an a*hole.' But that doesn't make sense. I don't know anything about Richard Feynman. And now I am here—Richard Feynman never wrote a book. Richard Feynman constantly made up stories. He was a showman. Does anybody know anything about Richard Feynman? Can you hate a guy that does not exist? The legend of Richard Feynman is based on nothing about Feynman at all..."
Interviews are posturing, not work. The tweet explains all of the work that the candidate is proud to have done, and the disappointment at being judged in a posturing pageant instead.
If you're not already rich, my suggestion is to get used to the idea of passing purely formal tests. It's a really common part of life for everyone else. Sorry.
Yes. You might think it's humiliating, but sometimes showing some humility (rather than tweeting something along the lines of "They want me to do the same type of interview like the peons? Pah, I'm too good for that!") might be in order...
When I went to interview for my first dev job (C++) all I had to say was; I know what a vtable is, I can use a profiler, debugger and I know assembly language. I was hired without having to write a single line of code.
Heh, that's how the interview at my first job went at a small Ruby on Rails company.
The lead developer asked me intermediate to advanced questions about Rails that you'd only know if you knew Rails. He asked me about impl details of a Rails projects on my Github. And I got the job.
I never had an interview as pleasant as that since.
I downvoted your post because this is a complete nonsequitur.
