I feel like we should consider the opposite as well. What if you actually hire someone who is great but they achieve zero results because of sheet bad luck and “help” from a product team that couldn’t go right.
This seems like an interesting theory, but when I look at the two ways it may be actuated it seems to fall apart.
Either there is explicit collusion where they meet and discuss how to do these things, or there is implicit collusion where they all act in their own best interests and the results is the same. Neither of these mechanism seems particularly likely to me.
I would be happy to hear some thoughtful explanation of how other people approach this issue
Objective functions are almost always convex bounded Lipschitz functions
The loss function is.
It should be noted that optimization of a convex bounded lipschitz function is exactly what most modern statistical learning (AI) models are based on.
Seriously! If I were making a joke I would say something like
Build AI-driven continuous validation frameworks powered by agentic workflows and large language models that autonomously manage…
But that’s word for word a 250k+ TC job in the big ‘26.
Regular music videos (including the writing/recording) can easily go into 6 figures. I wonder what the $200,000 AI music videos looks like.
I don’t know anything about the specifics of this case. I do know there are lots of bad doctors. Doctors routinely make mistakes or overlook things, especially relatively trivial things like this.
I don’t know what people think you learn in medical school that makes you an infallible source of health knowledge.
How about 30 years in prison for distributing zines?
The military industrial complex is a massive socialist jobs, housing, education, and healthcare program. For some reason it’s one of the only ones people on the right support.
Yes, it was a common attack vector in binary exploitation. Heap based attack vector like use after free, double free, heap overflows, and others are pretty neat. They force you to learn a lot about how malloc works.
There is a lot of cool work that went into making memory allocation work well; the different arenas, fast bins, chunk headers, etc. are super cool.
Try to bring up something factually correct like: cristian culture in 19th century UK abolished slavery worldwide, and you would get harassed and kicked out of school!
These are the sorts of things that are easy to say but just completely don’t hold water in any serious university setting. If you made this argument in a paper and properly cited sources and formed reasonable arguments based on the historical record I’m quite certain any historian, even a woke leftist atheist one, would happily give good marks.
Frankly, I have never seen such ridiculous things. Having taught students have claimed similar things about professors and seen the exact opposite, I am hesitant to believe you. I have never in my life seen a professor unwilling to explain a grade or give helpful feedback, especially on an essay.
It sounds like you had a professor committing malpractice on the verge of being fired.
When Gutenberg invented the printing press, he could not have predicted the teleprompter. Now that code is easy to generate, it’s plausible that we will use much, much more of it than before.
It’s also a bit ironic to imagine that we’re at the end of new software ideas on a site owned(?) by YC.
If we need to meet in the middle for now and only make all degrees required for jobs free I would be willing to do that, but I also won’t deny the obvious societal benefits to having a collection of people educated in the liberal arts.
It’s certainly the case that some departments are more to the right than the most progressive ones, but this is a far cry from what was described above - “hard right.”
This is essentially my understanding of the situation. The OR applications are extremely diverse there; they use most wvery solver and technique under the sun for something.
I get that this is their goal, however they aren’t particularly strong in this area compared to free alternatives, traditional MIP, and custom heuristics.
Gurobi is far better for almost every instance I’ve seen. There are also custom heuristics which win in almost every case. Finally, while I have not tried them, there are some apparently high quality options like TimeFold which exist.
Why not expand “public school” to include post secondary education to reflect the realities of the modern economy?
the hard left/hard right flips. Schools of law, economics, engineering - are usually hard right.
This is just objectively not true at all, accept in cases so specific that mentioning it as a general rule is misleading
Putting a broad label of “woke garbage” on simple liberal arts requirements of taking a few classes from “history, philosophy, arts, international studies, or social sciences,” almost does not even justify a response. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you’ve never taken such a class, but I can assure that unless you live in a reality so warped by politics, that basic logic and reason is out the window, classes covering those subjects are serious, thoughtful, and rigorous at accredited US universities.
Having people highly educated in the arts and humanities is a good investment, albeit not a financial one.
The reality is the degree should have been entirely funded by the government’s coffers. Funding arts and humanities education is so cheap and provides so much relative societal benefit that it’s a no brainer.
Or the book could fill in more details with a rich exposition and supplement with high quality exercises.
I agree completely. Sure, students could fill all the gaps themselves. But why not just fill the gaps and make good exercises?
Does anyone use Hexaly for any serious work? If so, why? There seem to be many better alternatives out there.
The gap between ethical and illegal is large, murky, and profitable. Many companies live there and do quite well.
Do they get trustworthy people?
50,000 post tax is enough to live well in most US cities, let alone the rest of the country.
