An appropriate use could be the treatment of those mental disorders on an 'industrial scale'. You can use the technology to identify as well as apply cost-effective tools that allow people with mental issues to heal and grow.
> less than 1% of our monthly users engaged with Jobs
> Most employers found our sourcing system too restrictive or difficult to work with
> We would need to spend a lot more time & effort to address these issues
But why does it matter? It's all automated.
Besides, if they are not operating at a loss, why not keep the job board running and improve it until it is the market leader? They know what people search. Who is better positioned to bring programmers and companies together? What do I miss that makes it impossible for them to continue?
To balance the downsides, Nvidia doesn't have to go all in on 'Steam sales', like Sony, who sells some of their PS5 to registered gamers but not all of them.
On the other hand, I don't see the problem with damaged or lost cards. Damaged cards can be treated like guarantees: send in your damaged card and buy a new one. Lost cards on their own are a problem but how do you lose your card? You have to lose your entire gaming rig which most likely means that it is stolen. So send in a copy of your police report. That way, miners will be punished for wrong legal proceedings if they make a business out of 'losing cards'.
Instead of locking cards down, Nvidia could manage the supply. They could sell their cards in cooperation with Steam: Only people with an active steam account are eligible to a new card. If their performance stats don't improve after the purchase, which means they have resold their hardware, they won't be allowed to buy another card.
Where would you be if you had the best education?
If he changes the engine he might as well implement the Elasticsearch language then for the new engine.
>Perverse incentives. We still live in a world where the larger portion of hospitals’ beds that are utilized, the more they get paid. Consequently, the U.S. health system is focused on treating sickness rather than preventing illness in the first place.
It seems like your root cause analysis is broadly known. Do you expect the market to shift quickly once your approach gains traction?
In the long run, having to install the native app is an inconvenience to those users and their next phone will be less limiting. Apple is famous for their creative destruction, but sticking to their native apps breaks their appetite for innovation.
Drifting in Space [1] has just been announced. After 30 years, the General Magic[2] concept is almost reality apart from the fluid integration of client and server. How can that happen on an iPhone if Apple locks the browser? In other words, sooner or later, they either have to open the browser or become irrelevant.

True for those with technical skills. There are also the ones with social skills that haven't honed their technical skills.
Is there a complementary list of technical skills for those who can handle the behavioral problems?
>Simple division yields an estimate of 13.982 million GPUs mining Ethereum on April 16 2021.
>40 million graphic cards produced in 2020
It's just 1/3 of one year's production that could be freed if people don't move to other coins. Is that enough to crush the market?

>What he dreams about, he said, is creating something like It's a Wonderful Life—a movie everyone goes to see, once a year, forever. “On New Year's, instead of talking about the fact that you're going to give up carbohydrates, I'd like this one question to be discussed, which is: Is the society we live in the only one available to us? And discuss it.”
>>One is her father who raised her, who taught her Latin on his lap and is devoted to a much more classical view of society, the Marcus Aurelius kind of view. The other one, who is the lover, is the enemy of the father but is dedicated to a much more progressive ‘Let's leap into the future, let's leap over all of this garbage that has contaminated humanity for 10,000 years. Let's find what we really are, which are an enlightened, friendly, joyous species.’
Is this a "French Connection" situation and it takes FF Coppola's soul to make it a tradition? HN already has all the infrastructure to establish the tradition of discussing this question. Is this a tradition worth establishing? And if so, what does it take besides making a submission?
Is the 'r' in simpler there intentionally? In which way are the building blocks more simple than simple blocks?
I don't see how I can answer your questions in a short comment because they depend very much on individual circumstances. E.g. nowadays you have to be able to read to make informed decisions. But with the rise of text to speech synthesis, and information available as videos and memes, there is no need to receive a formal education to be informed.
Then again, how valuable is analytical and critical thinking? That depends on the democracy. If people live in an established democracy with established institutions, they just have to choose the outcome, i.e. where the government is going to spend money. Then no further education is needed.
In general, the value of education follows supply and demand and depends on the environment. If you were the only educated person among cavemen, then your education is worth the world because you can make all the difference. On the other hand, if you are the proverbial philosophy major working at a fast food restaurant, what's the value of that education?
Regarding the value of education. If it has a value, why can't it have a monetary value? At one point in your life, you have shifted the majority of your time from learning to making money. You can only make that decision rationally if you have put a monetary value on your education.
There can be a niche for the product creation stage. But how does a company scale in MS's market? Sooner or later, it's a Slack vs MS Teams situation.
The monetary value itself is useful to everybody who makes a decision. A student at least invests their own time into that education. Shouldn't they know how valuable that education is to decide if it's worth their time?
The problem is not the evaluation. Students seek graduation instead of education because they need access to that social network of alumni. A monetary value makes that demand visible.
*edit: To me, this seems to be the greatest obstacle towards artificial intelligence. We search AI within computational concepts, where GIGO holds, whereas society already knows what intelligence is. It could be more fruitful to start from there compared to training NNs until they speak.
As noticed, once Reddit builds a search engine, people will flood it with spam. But Reddit is in the unique position that they can figure out who is a genuine user. They have the ip addresses of all the submitters and they have the source redditor of each downvote.
They can still show the comments from VPNs and such. But for their search engine, they can exclusively rely on using the signals from verified IPs.
Instead of building it themselves, they could cooperate with Microsoft and Facebook for the search technology and to know each user even further. Those signals, combined with the downvotes to identify spammers, could create the foundation for Google's nightmares.
Is this true? There was the story about the resources they need for Christmas shopping that went unused for the rest of the year.
But recently somebody mentioned here (I don't remember where) that AWS was a separate business and that Amazon itself initially didn't use any resources from AWS.
1) participants guess in turns, every correct choice gets a point
2) participants guess competitively and first right choice gets a point. Wrong choices are shown to others, result in a point deduction, and the game continues until the right choice is made
