Uh, this sounds great to me?
Frankly, this sounds like something the vast majority of users want
Can you elaborate on this? I'm not sure I completely agree.
Most of my friends who made huge amounts of money by joining the right company (Nvidia, Facebook) did so out of sheer luck and didn't anticipate the stock gains in any way (otherwise they would've diversified a lot less and just kept the equity grants they received rather than selling for index funds).
Anyway, picking the right company to join seems more like "stock-picking" than it does economics. Not sure how reading BLS reports would help you with that.
Look through the questions and many of them mention specific passages. Mark those sections in the reading first and then read the passage.
Tons of little tricks like that.
Just because you didn't find it misleading, doesn't other people weren't mislead.
Misleading people through omitting important details in the headline is journalism 101 nowadays.
That would be a good headline if PCMAG was interested in informing their readers.
Clearly they're not interested in doing that. They're interested in getting clicks.
Nice clickbait.
I wonder why no one likes "journalists" in 2024?
Are you joking?
Do you not empathize with the far, far larger number of people who can't afford adequate legal representation and have no legal recourse?
There are people like that out there you know!!!!
Mania's have been a thing since the start of markets.
It's so funny to see HN readers who know absolutely nothing about finance or capital markets have "houlier-than-thou" attitudes towards institutional money.
> why would I do something rational in a broken market
Why do you think you're the rational one?
That's the entire point of how markets work. No one thinks markets are fully efficient and the way you make money by trading is through exploiting inefficiencies.
The market was in a panic mode around Facebook a year and a half ago and if you were smart enough to see that and take advantage then you'd have 4x'd your investment.
But I guess you're "too rational" to make money off that sort of thing?
If you don't mind, can you share how much you're currently able to make from this?
> Your people are dodging tax
I said I'm using USDC. That makes 0 sense.
No, the reason we're using crypto is because the transaction fees are literally 0 and it's instant.
PayPal takes super high transfer fees. Wise is a cheaper alternative but it's still much more expensive than crypto.
> there's no point in losing money on exchanges.
Once again, I'm using USDC
It's a stable coin tethered to the US dollar.
It's really strange how HN users are so confident on things they know nothing about.
All of them have asked me if I could pay them in crypto (USDC on AVAX Chain).
There's tons of people who use it for day to day. You're just in a bubble.
What are you talking about lol.
His statement wasn't even hyperbolic or fearmongering.....?
He just extrapolated based on current amounts of compute and estimated a possible model size that could be equivalent to AGI (based on current architecture).
Training a model of that size would require too much electricity.
That was his point.
Huh? Doesn't bing image generator just use the DALL-E api?
Yes? Social media use is done through the internet? The vast majority of internet use for young teens is social media use.
I'm not sure what you mean by drawing the distinction between internet use and social media use.
> It isn't clear to me that internet filtering will combat any of what makes social media use such a mental health risk for teens.
I'm not suggesting that the government should be taking action through legal means.
I'm just saying some type of action should be taken.
I'm a really big fan of what Apple did with Screen Time & wish the implementation was better (it's super buggy on my device at least).
Apps that give people better power to control their own internet use is the way IMO.
To be fair, if you look at statistics around gen z you can see that there definitely are negative consequences of internet access (along with amazing benefits of course).
I don't support this measure or measures like it, but some of action should probably be taking considering the skyrocketing amounts of depression.
I don't even have to read it to know it'll contain some insane laws around encryption/privacy.
Also tbh, I feel like GenAI will play a really big part in UI/UX over the coming 1-2 years.
v0.dev has been huge for me.
Or management consulting?
