It’s easy to dismiss a problem by just saying that someone is just an “older person” who “didn’t adapt”.

Not my quote, just pointing out that not everything can be solved with money. But yes, I think it got worse over time.

How do you fix the mentioned problem of "filled with unpleasant people" with money?

If a doctor diagnosed me with the same result every time I go to another room, yes I would.

At one of the FAANGs I work, it's a relatively smart autocomplete. Saw some examples of autogenerated e2e tests. I think it's quite decent as a language tutor.

But besides that, agree, not many good examples, and it's been a year since gpt-4 release.

What you describe sounds like an immigrant, not an expat.

I am originally from one of the poorest countries, and my family constantly struggled with food for about 10 years. So I am well aware of the struggle. As well as I am exposed to poor people who immigrated to the US.

With all of that, no, I don't believe that there are people who actually starve in here. There are extensive food bank networks, generous religious organizations (most of them not that pushy), and in general people in the US are kind, despite what media says. I saw plenty of videos of people from my country showing food they got from a food bank, and most of them highlight how generous it is.

Despite all the struggle, my family never stole. And poor people around me rarely stole as well. Thieves whenever caught were judged by people around, and there was always social pressure to keep everything orderly.

What surprised my in the US is how normalized the whole thing is. It's always "stores have an insurance", "they are just trying to survive", and other excuses from people who never lived in poverty and just want to feel better about themselves.

Can you give an example of what question someone asked GPT-4 and was misled? And how that question was better answered by one of your tutorials?

How do we distinguish if it's "beta" or not? Waymo didn't kill anyone, is it beta? How does non-beta rollout look like?

But it's still more (or at least fairly similar to me). Far from "old American disease of not ensuring competition".

I shared the whole quote, but the goal was to just highlight that the number of banks is fairly similar.

I agree that the number of people is a better characteristic in this context, however the number of countries is important. EU has many different cultures, languages, regulations, so they have to have more banks. But looking at data, despite these considerations, EU still has worse competition. So still not sure what exactly parent meant.

> The US is home to over 4,700 FDIC-insured banks. It’s not far off from the EU, which has 5,171, but stop and consider that the EU consists of 27 countries. The UK currently has 365 banks, and Canada has 83

You are saying like it's any different in Europe. Dassault Systèmes CEO Bernard Charlès makes €20.6m with company revenue of $6.05 billion. For reference, Google CEO made $226 million (~10x) with company revenue of $279.8 billions (~46x).

Without taking into account compensation difference (that is also significant), almost no other developed country has such favorable tax regime (again ignoring temporary programs). Check an average FAANG salary on levelsfyi for seniors and compare how much would someone pay taxes on it in Germany.

Now calculate the difference in income taxes on 200k+. You are just paying it differently.
