Ignoring all the social benefits of institutionalized learning, the structure really hasn't been challenged by any other offering. I think to make individual or even group learning explode online you need a new structure that doesn't exist yet. You need to be motivated to explore an avenue by being presented with goals, milestones, structure and community, mentorship, and rewards as well as compelling course material.

Online learning for the most part is akin to being left in a massive library, where formal education is largely supportive.

The software required to disrupt education needs to be more supportive than a campus full of staff, handing out scholarships and creating lifelong relationships. That's not simple by any means. It has to take you by the hand, ask you all those questions you have horrible, inconclusive or delusion-riddled answers to and then give you a package and point you towards a goal while lumping you in a group with others and placing frightening consequences on failing to complete the job.

This would have to be done by creating the system to automate the process and bring the people together, sprinkling mentors into the mix with rewards for their performance, having 'tuition' in the form of reasonable payment plus a premium that gets donated to charity if the student drops out, and excellent rewards for success, such as company placements at the best employers. It could work as a pilot project with a single class and expand from there.

I think the real problem is, helping people find and commit to their passions. Education is an easy step once that's accomplished. If students don't make the effort to really analyze their goals and passions they will be failed by their education regardless how cheap or accessible it is.
Actually...

Do a ctrl-f for, "I've got my oven cranked up to over 800 F," and read from there.

He was using a standard oven that he'd modified to cook using the cleaning cycle.
> using a language those around you don't speak can be rude,

Like generally in public? Or when you're in a social group with others?

For the first scenario, I'd almost always speak a second language if I could, for privacy reasons. And also because it's less distracting to others IMO - people tune out unfamiliar languages as noise but not conversations they can understand. But yeah it's rude in the second scenario.
AI hype is pretty excessive right now, but there’s a lot of fuel to keep the fire going: the internet makes the acquisition of data much easier versus the 1980s, accelerators are ubiquitous (and even present in mobile devices), and most importantly current methods (e.g. deep nets and very large linear models) have shown relatively excellent generalization accuracy. The internet also helps with dissemination. The hype isn’t going anywhere, but there’s probably still at least another 5 years of explosive growth left for the field.
I'm also curious as to why it was submitted, but since this website is new to mew, I'm very glad it was submitted.
I worked in the bot defense space for quite some time, and it’s insane how much of the bot efforts were dedicated to getting camping spots. I’m happy to see this being recognized because I had many summers ruined because I couldn’t just get my old favorite camp spot.
In addition to the others reasons meantioned by others: NIMBYism, political projects, and suboptimal planning. Toronto has a whole subway line going through low density neighborhoods and it’s not like any densification plans are happening there soon. On the other hand Liberty Village was given to hi-rise developers because it was a wedge of industrial land squished between railway and a highway. Now it is a bustling neighborhood but pretty problematic to get in it out with the overloaded streetcar line bearing the brunt.

It is not only about upfront costs, ongoing maintenance is important as well, and one needs certain level of density for the infrastructure to be a bit closer to self-sustainable
Fellow Sr.EE currently pivoting in to SW. The core problem with our fields(EE/ME) is that our resp tools vendors are set in the old ways of building shipping and supporting the tolls that are fundamental to our jobs. No open APIs to customize the functionality, modify the GUI or extend it to Automate( wouldn’t you love to automate updates to the CIS database every time one of your colleague adds a new component to it?.I mean the basic infrastructure is there but just no motivation as they know that their core user base is not really growing and doesn’t mind putting up with this crap. Hence all valid open source efforts like KiCAD have been sparrow fart. No real dent. But SW industry is driven by innovation that’s happening in the FOSS domain. Even the mighty MSFT and APPL have to a certain extend embraced OSS. It’s not in the best interests of cadence and Solidworks to do that. Because the market size for their tools is minute compared to say Visualstudio code which is free and is highly customizable.
It has everything to do with the chosen font and how font-weight: 300 is displayed. The font-family is set to sans-serif and on my Linux system, it selects DejaVu Sans ExtraLight, which looks like that.

This is actually one reason to use webfonts, since you can be reasonably(ish) sure it looks more or less the same for everyone.
Are you actually familiar with the drawing model of core X?? It is completely obsolete and does not support acceleration of virtually any 2D or 3D rendering construct we take for granted for the past 30 years.

The GP was suggesting “without extensions”. Good luck with that.
I realize no one reads TFA, but TFA is very relevant since it's all about i3 and sway...
Put the macbook in an oven - should solve the problem./s

On a serious note, I'm not sure what it means for a cable to be corrupted.. wouldn't this just mean a bad cable? Could you elaborate?
> Not to mention, this threat could have been easily mitigated by keeping your funds in a multsig wallet, with the keys distributed in multiple redundant locations.

And if you're released from prison and recover your Bitcoin, you will be arrested again for contempt of court or a similar charge.
This is the was way.
It's similar to privacy and surveillance.

To secretly monitor a single individual's communications, law enforcement should have to get probable cause, present their case to a judge and obtain a court order.

Dragnet surveillance of all communications all the time is a Very Bad Thing.

Financial surveillance and seizure is currently at the Very Bad Thing stage and bitcoin helps move us back toward a better balance between the rights of the individual and the interests of the state.
Founder of the Color Museum (https://color.museum) here. Do you mean insurance for Color NFT holdings, or NFT insurance in general?
good point. If they had tried to use a bridge to convert their bad bitcoin with good ethereum, would they have been denied service since everyone knew that these btc were bad?

As to your 2nd point, I agree. Another mistake was uploading private keys to google drive.
What you describe is a software fallback (Limp mode), and doesnt require another separate computer. US cars are not my forte, can you name actual year/model so I can see with my own eyes that extra backup ECU unit just sitting there doing nothing?
you would only need to memorize one seed to spawn infinite key pairs
this is a really interesting strategy for entering a crowded space

And just got done listening to how a local child molester was sentenced to probation.
The article discusses some different interventions that were used to improve communication on teams:

1) "Every day for a week, we provided team members a visualization of that day’s work, with some light interpretation of what we saw. (Keep in mind that we didn’t know the substance of their work, just how they were interacting.) We also told them that the ideal visualization would show members contributing equally and more overall contributions. By day seven, the maps showed, the team’s energy and engagement had improved vastly, especially for the two Japanese members, one of whom had become a driving force."

2. "The manager wanted to raise energy and engagement in lockstep. We suggested instituting a common coffee break for each team at the call center. This increased the number of interactions, especially informal ones, and raised the teams’ energy levels. And because all team members took a break at once, interactions were evenly distributed, increasing engagement. When we mapped energy and engagement against AHT afterward, the results were clear: Efficiency in the center increased by 8%, on average, and by as much as 20% for the worst-performing teams."
that's why a lot of responders are calling the approach naive. This function is potentially the last layer in thousands of functions. Thinking that one can predictably change the behavior of a large nonlinear model via one variable is like thinking you can change the US political system by passing one good law in Reno, Nevada.

This approach only works if auditability is mandated to also be a property of the model, which typically reduces model complexity and accuracy too. We do this with credit scoring models semi-successfully.
Lobbying for privacy laws requires legal knowledge to know which proposals can actually be effective, otherwise one is merely lending their uninformed support to whatever the media tells them is a good idea today.

It all comes down to self actualization, no matter how you slice it. Installing Element instead of Signal (even with its @weird%identity.syntax) is quite technically easy, especially compared to politics! The issue is almost entirely social, in that it requires pushing back on friends who want you to install the proprietary stuff to communicate, and pushing them to the Free solutions.

Threads are a PITA everywhere. On Linux the SYSCALL stuff complicates things because of all the register moves, the FUTEX stuff, and potential races with how threads are exited.
And I would like to add that's the reason why you should use software made in your own timezone.
For all others use Australian software.
Each country would have a given amount of vouchers say one per ten person to start and presumably only one individual could redeem them for the rebate otherwise its 50$ per month.
Thanks for that tip! Will do.
If you have a Mac App or iOS app, Daring Fireball would be a great place to advertise. I'd like to here from some of the web apps that are promoted, do they have a same uptick in subscribers?
The 1% only makes sense by normalizing for cars on the road and even better for distance driven. Otherwise it is not telling much.

And the only car I had in my live that has something to break a car window from the inside is my 4x4. And that only because the previous owner used it extensively for off-roading. So quite the opposite from your average Tesla.
The claim you quoted is actually a null hypothesis—the negation (that the brain separates memory and processing) would require us to posit new types of as-yet-undiscovered neurochemical interactions (which may certainly exist, but we can't say!), and thus the burden of evidence would fall on proving that claim. Or, un-negated, for this claim, the burden of evidence is on disproving it.
It is probably related to the 'Freshness' algorithm in order to increase link juice, as Google has an inherent bias towards fresher content.

Excerpt from the linked article:
In these two case studies, all that was changed was the time stamp on the blog post. In both studies, the sample posts received a more than 50% growth in traffic in the weeks following the update.

This probably happens a lot more than you realize. Border and geographic name disputes can get very political and potentially violent.

Off the top of my head:

* Persian/Arabian Gulf

* Palestine/Israel

* Western Sahara/Morocco

* Kashmir
It should be marked as disputed, from both sides, like "agreed to disagree".

Think what would happen if the UK took back Hong Kong, or if Hong Kong declared itself independent. We - westerners - would all love that and accept it immediately. Would we have a problem then with Apple if they showed HK as a separate country?
This is why school choice is a key social justice issue of our time. Parents’ ability to control the environment their kids go to school in shouldn’t be based on where they can afford to live.

Above a certain threshold, it’s not a matter of resources or teacher quality. Baltimore schools spend as much per student as the wealthy suburban counties around it (and cost of living in Baltimore is cheaper).[1] Nobody from Montgomery County would send their kids to Baltimore public schools, but a ton of parents in Baltimore would love to send their kids to Montgomery County schools, but can’t afford $700k+ for a starter home.

You can think of the Church Turing thesis as providing a formalism for how the tape, registers and instruction tables are all implementation details.
As a former English-kid (well I grew up in Italy so I was an "Italian-kid"), who became a programmer after having worked as a journalist, I completely agree with the article. Although code can be seen merely as a series of mathematical statements, nonetheless it has its 'grammar', syntax and semantics, just like any natural language does.
I have noticed that in Australia (where I got my bachelor in IT) you are required to write essays on a regular basis even if you are studying scientific subjects and I think that's good.
> often, without me even provoking them, will tell me how superior is is to western values, the same way Russians will also do.

Is this surprising or weighty to you considering that censored brainwashing culture they've grown up in?

> They buy into the anti-Western narrative

They do not "buy into the anti-Western narrative", they are tricked into it.

All of this makes

Really silly.
They copy all of their design from Apple...
I was wondering how long it would take to see this posted again after the quake-on-a-scope thing. Not too long, I guess!
Windows is like a decent catholic cathedral in the middle of Mogadishu.

If I were to argue "We should declare war on Canada, unless/until everyone in the US has free healthcare", you would be right to respond with "What? Declaring war on Canada is a terrible idea!" rather than "Well, there's more to his argument than merely declaring war on Canada".
I read this post 3 times and I feel the same way. I have too many questions now but until this guy/girl is on here answering us, I am not wasting my time and energy on this. haha :D
Say you kill connections after 1 second (pretty aggressive) and you can hold 1,000 connections open (that's a fair number of threads)

All I have to do is create 1,000 connections per second and I'll hog all your thread resources. That's not too hard to do.

OS X. At PyCon most laptops are Macs, nearly all run OS X.
Sorry for fueling the flames, but: they're all mostly useless. That is, non-broken software doesn't need them, and it's very hard to write a profile that doesn't allow hacked broken software to take over the machine anyway. Especially with Linux' large number of local exploits. There are almost always better ways to spend your sysadmin time.

Also, no grsecurity?
Is there a study that indicates if ABS and airbags actually improve safety significantly on Indian roads? They're probably going to be most helpful on some of the newer high-speed freeways. But this is a small i10 city car which you're probably going to end up driving 90% of the time in slow-moving Mumbai traffic.

Btw the salesman is not intentionally trying to be slimy. It's simply a disconnect in his way of thinking and yours. You must understand this guy probably takes the Mumbai metro to get to work every day and yes, the metro trains which have no doors, and those trains where people hang out of the doors clinging on to whatever they can find. So yeah, the salesman probably feels like anti-lock braking systems are not that important in the grand scheme of things in lieu of what happens around him everyday.

Btw go to America and suggest an i10 to someone. They'll laugh their ass off. To them anything that's not sturdy and large is not safe on their roads. At the end of the day, it's all just economics and what each society perceives is vital. Most Indians are first-time buyers for whom buying a car itself is an achievement. Things will change slowly as we become much more sophisticated buyers and income levels rise.
When do you need to actually open and edit a 500 mb ascii file instead of just processing it with one of the many Unix command line tools that can handle a 500 mb file just fine? (I realize it hypothetically does happen, the question refers to frequency.)
Its main selling point is that it's better than Notepad.
Interesting that there are 3 prices for 3 platforms:

Windows: $59.95

Mac: $79.95 (intro pricing)

Another feature request: for people like me who imported Delicious tags and thus have a lot of them, a tag cloud would be nice, I prefer it to a long scrolling list of tags.
In Nordic (and other European) countries the access right is much broader, not restricted to beaches. It's called Freedom to Roam [1]. Exclusivity of private property is not an unambiguous universal.

Is it so preposterous? Let the public have access to their beach.
There's a lot more to correct concurrency than data races, although they are a big factor. I think it's more fare to say that going from D to Rust is going from zero to some guarantees. Still technically infinitely better.
The legal philosophy is actually the opposite. Common Law is heavily based upon precedent and what the norms of the community are to “fill in the gaps”. The vast majority of what goes into a decision is this historical case law. The actual legal text is more of a framework than exhaustive guide.

Much of Europe works with civil law where everything is expected to be codified beforehand. Past cases have little bearing on how a new one will be decided.
> I'm not sure this move accomplishes that much.

To avoid scenarios like the one described in the middle of the article where it's unclear if it's legally OK to work with sanctioned organizations:
In June, more than two dozen standards groups - including those overseeing SD memory cards and Ethernet and HDMI cables - wrote a letter to U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross asking for clarification of the rules on working with Huawei.

If bodies that work on open standards can't predictably work openly (with anyone) this risks the standards getting fragmented in non-compatible ways, or could even give rise to viable competing standards like US WiFi 7 vs. Chinese/European WiFi 7ce
Scotland has a right of access to land (including beaches) as well as inland water throughout the country. This is known as 'the right to roam' and is a good example of a jurisdiction where statutory right of access works well: https://www.scotways.com/faq/law-on-statutory-access-rights
Rich doesn't mean anything if the currency is worthless. Switzerland has value in a consistent, trustable system and educated population. But without a larger military standing behind it, such as other European countries or the US, it's not going to be able to defend against a larger aggressor.

That's why an extremely indebted USA is still very valuable. Because they can park a few aircraft carriers off the coast of whomever they desire (although this may be changing, namely due to China).
Try working for 60 hours a week at minimum wage with kids and let me know how much time you have left to spend managing investments.
I think those factors are being ignored partly because not relevant to the "capitalism vs. technology discussion" and partly because they're not on capitalism's side.

- RE creation. It's true that people like to create and be created, but as sad as it is, being "human-made" is hardly a quality you can run entire economics on. Say, I create a new work of art. How can I exchange it for food? I could sell it for a bunch of credits to someone who appreciates my work, and then use those credits to buy food made by machines. But machines don't need that money, they just make food and run on machine-controlled power generation, etc. They're not participating in the economy; paying for that food becomes just a weird kind of tax, at which point we'd be better off just giving the food away - eliminating the unneccessary theatre.

Being able to focus on creating beautiful and interesting things is the promise of automated future. I don't think anyone in their right mind could think that there will be no economy of anything at all - as long as you have people exchanging things, there's always one. It doesn't really matter much what kind of economy it is (though you could get a good guess by observing content creation and sharing dynamics on the Internet when no one is trying to monetize it) - what matters is that it won't be the same system you use for getting your basic needs (food, shelter) fulfilled.

- RE scarcity. I see two problems with it. One that in western societies there's almost no visible scarcity at all. You look around and see shops overflowing with all sorts of dirt-cheap products. We're isolated from the actual scarcity by many layers of abstraction, and it isn't even reflected in the prices - otherwise gas or meat wouldn't be so cheap as they are right now.

Humans do have a drive for achieving more (or more than others), but our economic system is built completely around the concept of growth - to the point that we use up resources in an exponentially increasing rate and have to invent artificial scarcities just to keep the whole machine from falling apart on the edges (see the thread about jewlery currently on HN). Not to mention increasing numbers of bullshit jobs. That system needs to go, it's unsustainable.

Inequality and survivalism are not going away. Nor should they, really - what history showed us is that people don't react well when forced to be equal. The drive to get more will always be there, but it doesn't preclude us from raising the low point from "starving to death" to "comfortable, if minimalist, life". Basics can totally be Communism 2.0 and let sulprus be whatever develops, only moderated so that it doesn't go exponential.
So why wouldnt do it again?
These things are great. But at the same time - so weird.

Helpless victims of failed states, social injustice, greed, hatred, etc can now rely on high tech structures to take care of them.

Genocide ? No problem, we've got you covered. We've got just the perfect structures for $1000 a pop for you to take shelter in.

I mean, it IS the right thing to do, but at the same time, I don't know..

I guess would prefer that somehow there were no refugees and suffering in the first place...

It's a strange thing to say, but somehow, by providing these solutions we're making the crimes less grave, more acceptable, a technical matter rather than a moral one...?
