Let's take this example: https://beta.openai.com/examples/default-factual-answering

95% of the token usage in this example would consist of the prompt and I would only get 1 sentence in return. So if I wanted to generate another sentence, I would have to pay 95% of the cost towards the prompt again and again... Isn't there a way to create a template for the prompt so you only pay for the generated sentences?

> In the simplest case, if your prompt contains 10 tokens and you request a single 90 token completion from the davinci engine, your request will use 100 tokens and will cost $0.006.

It's weird that the prompt characters are also being counted towards your token usage. So you're penalized if you have an elaborate prompt with lots of examples (as shown in the docs)?

> Doing More would be completing those two screens and then taking on a third screen that's just like it. Yes, this would help move the project along faster and make your manager happy, and that's great, but in the long-run, More doesn't give you much.

Always doing Extra (and not being appreciated for it) is a great recipe for Burnout.

At most private schools donations are a way to ensure your children have a better chance of getting into the same school. Legacy students at Harvard for example have about 33% chance of being admitted vs the overall acceptance rate of 4.6%.

> As someone who has spent a substantial amount of time reviewing top MBA programs

As someone who has spent a substantial amount of time with friends who graduated from Stanford GSB, I can tell you, an elite MBA may not guarantee anything but it opens many, many doors for you (it's up to you to also close it once you're in the door). I'm talking about regular lunches with VC's and billionaires, getting a soft landing when your startup fails, and leading big teams at FAANG's a couple years after graduation.

That's just the perks you get in Silicon Valley. Wall Street is another level entirely. They only hire elite MBAs. A great book to read on this is Liquidated by Karen Ho, which details the many privileges elite graduates get on Wall Street.

Sounds to me this type of language can also backfire; next step of Congress could be to then subpoena someone who did work on the subject matter and did have C-level exec access...
