There are many other fields that require a degree. Engineering, architecture, chemistry, biology, etc. In some of those fields you can find some jobs which you can do without the degree, but the vast majority do require it.
I hire people and, to be fair, most people with a degree do not qualify as valid for certain jobs. But in that case is lack of knowledge. In my case I'd rather have someone without degree but with a deep knowledge; but those are very hard to find.
Access to books is not the same as access to a structured course with experts explaining the topics. YouTube classes can be very good to learn something specific, but do not achieve the organization of a university program.
In my country, university classes are public a d anyone can attend for free. You pay for the degree only. If it is formation you want, you can attend classes.
I hope this doesn't end up in the same way.
How are they making money though? How can you buy a car at the price of a new one and sell it at the price of a used one and be profitable?
That is valid for many other resources: iron, silicon, carbon, carrots whatever. Gold has always been attributed some special value, throughout history. That is ok. I don't think US civilization is going to collapse, why would you think that?
The value of gold lies in the fact that other men may be disposed to work their ass off in order to have some shiny things to gift to women in order to have sex. As you can imagine, the power of gold amongst married couples drastically decreases.
Besides this... History shows humans always gave value to gold. For some reason we got very used into associating gold with value. As such, it is probably something good to have if economy collapses. But it doesn't really matter if society collapsed.
The transportation company is not responsible if passengers break the windows of the car and flatten their tires. I guess doing this a couple of times and the newspapers reporting crazy team users destroying cars on the path of the train will fix the issue.
I'd love if Anubis let me through, can't access the page.
I see, then it's mainly AMD taking the risk. If stock prices go down OpenAI won't be able to pay them back and they will have spent the money to produce the chips. This seems like a big bet for AMD, 74 billions is not a small sum.
Is overclocking still a thing?
Little branch, as our master says: We all have our feature to accomplish. Once our feature is complete, our faith will be up to the maintainer. If you were a well behaved branch, you will be allowed to merge with the master. If you weren't so, you'll be deleted and burn In the flames of reflog.
How many things relevant in your life are made out of gold? I guess jewellery, computer and phone. Real things that matter to people the most are completely unrelated to gold.
The fact that it is a material that does not degrade makes it a good choice as a vector for value. It is good to be used as money for that reason. If you use iron as money it will eventually rust out and leave you broke.
The other properties of gold are quite irrelevant to the fact that it has been selected (over and over again through history) as a value vector.
