The interesting question is, will her career/business ventures suffer from here onwards?

She's hardly the average person, is she? High IQ enough to get a job at Jane Street and then constantly swimming in these elite networks at Stanford, Jane Street and whatever that weird EA thing is supposed to be.

If you do a BSc in Math in Europe and you have some olympiad creds, you have a good shot of joining Optiver or similar, and go from there.

I know, it's not meant to be a deep observation. Rather the "some start drinking at 21 while others already quit by then" kind of situation.

As a publicly funded scientist there is nothing I find more frustrating than witnessing colleagues peddle bullshit to funding bodies and waste tax payers money, and more importantly waste opportunities for young scientists and the country to do something worthwhile with the available resources.

Hey, I have been following your project for a while, because I'm kinda interested in progam synthesis. Anyway my question is, how scaleable is the search process itself? Is it a good fit for GPU clusters? I guess benchmarking of candidate kernels takes much longer than generating candidate kernels, or not?

yep, parallelized profiling across many devices is definitely something i want to add.

True but saturated animal fats quickly become an issue if you don't restrict yourself to fish and lean poultry and other lean meats such as rabbit.

Scary stuff. I don't have social media, but from time to time I would create and delete Facebook/Twitter/Instagram accounts. Never posted anything. Just used them for auth/developer/Marketplace...etc. But I don't know all the logins I used in the past... So if I fail to provide a login to an empty profile, do I get permabanned from the US?

HN is social media. Messenger apps are almost certainly social media. GitHub or similar platforms might be social media. There might be some people out there without any social media accounts, but they wouldn't be able to post about it on the internet.

Other than that, your example of using temporary accounts for some secondary platform functionality is yet another reason why this policy is terrible.

Could you share the definition of social media the excludes HN ?

To me social media platforms are primarily for sharing updates about the lives of people and remaining connected to either friends or followers.

HN is primarily a news site that allows discussions - I wouldn't classify it as social media. Heck, Reddit barely qualifies as social media for me.

My internal definition is probably two decades out of date, however.

Reddit absolutely counts as social media they want, it's likely much more useful to them than your facebook account since people post a lot more interesting stuff on reddit vs a facebook account. Your comments on this thread are more interesting to dictators than your dog photos on facebook.

If HN counts the so does the comment section of every website that a person might ever use.

Probably artificial cybernetics (other than voting) + insists on using real name.

I also regret studying physics, lol, although in my case I thought fiddling with algebra would be the best job ever, until I got bored of using my mind as a compiler.

Resentment is traditionally absent when people have opportunities for social and economic mobility. I.e. give them affordable housing, good jobs and a booming economy.

Even as somebody trying to get a US VISA, I think it is a bad idea. Whatever tests you use, there will be many millions trying to learn for the test, thereby massively taxing the immigration system and making it harder for the more genuinely skilled prospects.

BTW, merit VISAs already exist, and if you are rich there are investment VISAs. H1B is a cluster fuck, but it can be trivially fixed by allowing employees to switch employers.

He contradicts himself. Europe, in particular Spain, France and Germany are still manufacturing goods. And yet their economies are stagnant. Because those industries have seen no growth for decades already.

It's not true there was no growth for decades there, but otherwise I agree.

He is not far off from the truth that a lot of the American economy is phony with wrong incentives. I submitted an article recently that makes the same argument, about e.g. the 2008 crisis "we used to sell mortgages to so we can build houses, not build houses so we can sell mortgages".

But his solutions fall on their face. The contradiction you mention is not the only one - his wrong way involves "protectionist economy" which is actually exactly what is happening right now.

It's also a bit funny the current backlash against globalization I'm the US government is led by the people that profited the most from it. That right there tells you their intentions are not noble.

I cannot speak for Spain and France, but for Germany, stagnation was primarily due to long-standing internal political issues. Wolfgang Münchau discusses this in his book Kaput [1].

„An often reported story, not presented by Münchau, takes the case of BioNTech’s miracle mRNA vaccine that is now being applied to the treatment of common cancers.“

Germanys role in the fight against covid should not be forgotten. Germany is not just cars.
