I wouldn't trust it, myself. I was laying out a new circuit board design for a client when my eyesight went all wonky. It turns out I had a detached retina. Yhe first repair procedure failed. The second procedure went well. Then I got a cataract in that eye. My retina specialist sent me to a cataract specialist. The cataract specialist told me "I was allergic to laser beams" and didn't recommend cataract surgery. And also to get used to audiobooks. Like I could write program code and design GUI's by listening to audiobooks. For "fun" I read. Sometimes I write books. I put up with a 'weird' double vision and gave up driving a car. Audiobooks indeed.

How did the doctor diagnose allergy to laser? So you didn't do catract surgery? Catract surgery can be done without using laser.

Legacy is better than people think. The undergrad academics at T10 universities really aren't anything special. People want to go because of the connections with wealthy & well-connected students, but then complain when wealthy well-connected students get a easier ride. You fill Harvard of Stanford with only people with 1600 SATs will turn them into places you dont really want to go to.

Stanford has become legacy + LGBTQ only for undergrads. Even their math departments are filled with only them!

All the past IMO problems are known to public and contestants practice on them. If solving an IMO problem is the simple matter of "looking at all the past problems and apply the same pattern," you'd expect human contestants to do a lot better.

I think you haven't gone thru AMC8, AMC10, AIME competitions. If you are so confident, try giving an unsolved math problem outside the high school math competitions.

I encourage anyone who thinks these are easy high-school problems to try to solve some. They're published (including this year's) at https://www.imo-official.org/problems.aspx. They make my head spin.

In 2023, American colleges graduated 134,153 citizens or green card holders with bachelor's or master's degrees in computer science. That same year, our federal government handed out work permits to at least 110,098 foreign workers in computer occupations through just three major guest worker programs. That's equal to 82% of our graduating class who are guaranteed jobs even before any Americans walk across the stage for their diploma.

why is ycombinator promoting immigration thru H1B when so many US born CS grads are finding it hard to get job. In 2023, American colleges graduated 134,153 citizens or green card holders with bachelor's or master's degrees in computer science.

most bidets starts leaking after 6-12 months. It is a flood hazard if the hose breaks.
