GPT-4 can't reason 3 years ago

There are definitely patterns that transfer across different problems, it's not random at all.

Instagram data is really valuable and they don't like sharing it, you're not dumb!

rotating proxies are the way to go with insta, you can't do much about IP blocking besides using the right IPs

although in theory if you had an account(s) you could still scrape data from a datacenter IP(aws), even though the limits were lower than a 4G proxy

you can buy/create insta accounts for less than a $ using throwaway phone numbers

If I read and learn from your content it's of no benefit to you either.

If you don't want others to learn from what you have to say, just talk to a brick wall.

there are already dozens of use cases that would become (more) profitable/interesting if we had chips optimized for LLMs

they were asic for BTC at a way earlier stage

+they can always pivot in a year if the market changes too much

is that primary and secondary schools that are in not very good areas are not ambitious for their pupils.

And where do you think the vast majority of immigrants live? In Boulogne Billancourt?

When I talk about these paths, I mostly mean prepas and grande écoles, but that doesn't mean I recommend them.

Yeah you're set for life if you succeed there, but the student suicide rate in those schools is also astonishingly high because of the pressure/competition.

If I were you, I'd just teach my kids to code, learn, build stuff, sell stuff, and use AI correctly. IMO school is an outdated concept, in any country.

They believe more in the education system so they push their kids more into higher education.

No, not really, most people seems to still believe it.

Most of the high education school in France have a somewhat fair competitive exam to filter the candidates

Yet preparatory schools are still disproportionately full of rich white kids.

The US are a younger country and it's full of immigrants/children of immigrants.

Most of the money here is old money. There are dozens of implicit rules. In France having a teacher as a parent is a better indicator of whether you'll get into a top school than being rich. Because you have to know all the tricks in the book to get anywhere. From my POV getting into Ivy League seems as simple as getting a high SAT, applying, getting approved for a loan. In France, most immigrants kids don't even know the possible paths to get into a top school.

Also yes, salary plays a big role, if you're part of the top 1% of your country intellectual elite, I'd bet you'd rather cross an ocean for 6 figures than for 2000 euros a month and free healthcare.

Yeah but SSH and RDP aren't used by grandmas that get their wallets emptied by scammers. Forced SSL everywhere is a good thing.

It's bad that it's run by corporations, but it's still a good thing overall. Maybe it should be run by different people(like IDK ICANN over something like the UN)
