Wait. What? There are dozens of threads posted here daily about the new AI model, laying off huge swaths of junior engineering roles, and vibe coding as engineering, dev-ops, and quality control.
Amtrak is a perfect example too. An American monopoly, an established near-ancient technology, and tech bolted on that make something simple worse and complicated. Trains have been figured out for 150 years, welcome to the age of AI.
Comparing tuition to the growth of the S&P 500, or any fund or stock for that matter, is like comparing a first class dining experience to a computer, the two have nothing in common.
Why would you expect education costs to move with the value of public businesses? How does that make any sense? A businesses worth has actually gone up (acquired assets, generating more revenue, etc.), has the value of a college education gone up 400% from 2011 to 2022? Because that is what you seem to be suggesting. Are new grads from BU on average making 400x what they were in 2011? Even going from $51k to $79K that's about a 47% increase, is BU college education 47% better today than it was in 2011? Probably not.
A 4 year BS is $320,000 without Room and Board. That's what my mortgage was 22 years ago. I have 30 years to pay that off, and I can live in it while doing so.
(Now, multiply by the number of children you have, in my case, 2.)
The wars of the future will not be fought on a battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today, remember always, your duty is clear: to build and maintain those robots. Thank you.
Agentic CAD is very much bottlenecked by rendering time (as well as generation time). If you make a small change to a big model you need to reload the whole thing which can take minutes.
