i get your point, however i am not sure if disruptive students are actually a problem in a montessori class. i'd really like to see some actual reports from the field here.

since in a montessori class each student does their own thing, a disruptive student can do far less damage than in a traditional class.

in a traditional class the disruptive student takes away attention of the teacher from the class. and class learning is indeed disrupted while that happens. in a montessori class, the teacher can take care of the disruptive student individually without disrupting attention from other students. oh, sure, it may happen that a a teacher-student interaction is disrupted once in a while, but in that case the teacher can tell that student to work on something else while they deal with the problem child. further, if we assume that most students are disruptive because they seek attention, i expect that such students will actually be much less disruptive than in a traditional class.

also, one of the key points of montessori is to teach children individually to work with their material on their own.

this goes so far that in some schools the beginning of the year is split in stages. on the first day only a handful of children are coming to school. the smaller group makes it easier to get each child to calm down and get used to the classroom setting. once they are fine, the next batch of children enters (the next day or a few days later). the first group is already quiet at work, and so the teacher now can deal with the next group, and so on until all children are present.

this not only allows the teacher to adjust their ways for each child individually, but doing that is the very point. therefore a montessori teacher has much more powerful tools at their disposal to deal with problem children and help them integrate into the classroom.

chances are that a child that is disruptive in a traditional class simply won't behave like that in a montessori class.

"Elevated Error Rates" is such a BS term. They were down. Man up and own the mistake.
> they make a loud warning sound before they begin recording

This contradicts my personal experience last week with a google-controlled music player. Music was the only response to a voice command to play music, and silence was the only response to a voice command to turn it off.

That one is badly phrased, it's about resuming a single interrupted large file. By default rsync will create a new temp file and start over, but there are options to make it resumable.
I'm not saying it proves anything, but Kleenex is synonymous with facial tissue and Velcro is synonymous with hook and loop fasteners. I "google" things on DuckDuckGo. :)

The people within one of my company's divisions refer to the internal knowledge base as "the google." IT defaults their browsers to Bing.
What is usually shown, time and time again, is that the voice assistants aren't secretly recording. They are triggered because they heard something that sounded like a hotword.

Maybe you were talking about what dog you want you buy. Someone asks if a Greyhound would be alright and you said "No way, Poodle!". Well, the device picked it up as "Ok Google" and begins listening for a command. It makes a bleep, and lights up and you start talking about dogs or whatever.

You maybe didn't notice, so it picks up 15 seconds of a conversation, has no idea what to do, and probably just does an image search for dog pictures or even just the "I don't know how to help with that".

Not to say you shouldn't be annoyed that it picks up unrelated stuff... I just always think "secretly recording" is such a misnomer.

I didn't see the cost breakdown [1] mention how much they expect to pay countries for dumping olivine in their beaches/waters. Would a country, especially those near the equator, willingly agree to take part in an experiment like this for free? The referenced papers have explained how the project is safe, but I don't think communities or their representatives will see it that way.

In trust-based systems like HIPPA or Clearances, there is a fundamental aspect of requiring 2 conditions to access data: privilege, and the necessity to know. Taking data and mining for valuable insights isn't a "need to know" it's a "need to discover something unknown". This is where the security breaks down. In a conventional HIPPA system, only your doctor needs to access your info. You don't have to worry about some other doctors accessing your information in bulk to try and conduct a study on cancer rates. They don't NEED to know your info, they just WANT to know. When you WANT to know how to accurately fingerprint people by their voice, then obfuscating it is counterproductive.

We're very sorry about this. We work hard to maintain extreme reliability in our infrastructure, with a lot of redundancy at different levels. This morning, our API was heavily degraded (though not totally down) for 24 minutes.

We'll be conducting a thorough investigation and root-cause analysis.
"The Last 3 Ice Ages Were Caused By Volcanic Rock Weathering Near the Equator [...] Project Vesta seeks to mimic this natural process but to greatly accelerate it because we do not have millions of years to wait."

I'm afraid that too many these proposed geoengineering projects will actually take place, and nobody will really know how much of the CO2 is removed from the atmosphere. If that happens we will end up with another Ice Age (we're due for one soon anyway), or something worse.

I know it's easy to make CO2 the villain, but let's not forget that the life on this planet is not possible without it.
Is there a version control for reality so you can rollback if things go horribly wrong? How many lives are ruined if the refactoring fails. That's an incredibly poor metaphor for actual, physical, events.

I've used this sometimes, and still use it sometimes (a few times a year, probably). But I find it not very intuitive (beyond the basics of typing some names, numbers and operators in a list), and I couldn't figure out how to easily do subtotals in a long list (I don't want to write a long formula adding every other item above). Better documentation and examples could help.
Radio astronomy has always been pushing the frontier of signal processing. Gamma ray telescopes also need large amounts of data crunching. Until recently optical telescope where much more about instrumentation than data processing. But even that is changing, e.g. with small and mid-sized robotic telescopes that automatically search for transients and schedule their own follow-up observations.

>I'll tend to end up spending too much time on some parts. I might, say, get stuck on B because I'm not confident I'm good enough at B to move on, even though my B is actually sufficient to support C.

I would think integrated testing and feedback could be built in and even done in "real time" as students are learning. For each section you can do a brief quiz, or constantly ask questions to measure engagement and comprehension.
Terro ant baits are boric acid. A couple times a year we get a stream of ants coming into our kitchen near the sink. I have never been able to track down where they come from. They just appear out of cracks in the wall. But in any case, the only way I've effectively gotten rid of them is to put out a couple Terro liquid ant baits on the window sill, and they're gone within a day or two... at least for a few months.

That's blatantly not true, as I've run into controller issues from verified authentic name brand cards. A 80kbyte/sec write with a specific pattern for about six hours would absolutely hose the card (and yes the card was write leveling).

There's so much nice about the industrial cards that have nothing to do with it's ability to endure extreme environments, that I would basically never ship a non consumer product without them at this point.

You could find a way to do a soft failure. In the case of as payment gateway failure, take the order and follow it up manually once the gateway is back up. May not work for every business but an eComm business could just hold the fulfilment until payment is captured. A subscription service could let the subscription run on a short grace period and follow it up.

That could all be done programatically, or give them a call or email.
Summary (found at the end of the article) of what the founders were doing:

>Prenda made its money by suing people who allegedly downloaded pornographic films online. Its targets frequently agreed to settlements worth a few thousand dollars rather than facing a courtroom process. These copyright trolling tactics netted the company more than $6 million between 2010 and 2013.

>But eventual criminal investigations revealed that rather than representing real companies who had a real product that was being traded in violation of copyright law, Prenda was filming its own porn, inventing fraudulent shell companies, and uploading those supposed companies' content to torrent sites itself. Then the settlement money went directly into the Prenda attorneys' pockets.
I've thought about this, but I wonder what the UX is like.

You always show success? What sort of confirmation does the user get? If the card is declined, how do you notify them later? Would that notification confuse them?

So many things to think about.
We certainly keep an eye on delivery apps, but we didn't start gaining traction until we solved for customer expectation issues that owners were worried about. They're primarily concerned with making sure the latte you order is still hot when you get it, and as skeptical as they are about order ahead and pick up, they won't even consider delivery.

Inheritance. Even Guido has said that people should avoid use of _slots_. Some people think that the space saving trumps the inheritance issue/type checking not inherited or some such. It's almost anti Python-like. People want to use it so they don't have to go down to something like C. I personally would not use _slots_ but then again, I'm just a nobody who writes semi-decent code for semi-decent money. YMMV.
Having grown up without a car in a country with good public transport, I never had trouble vacationing to beaches and parks, visiting faraway families, or pursuing work in faraway places (well that last point didn’t apply to me, but certainly did apply to e.g. my parents).

Now, having lived in the U.S. for many years, I still hate driving, but I’m basically crippled if I don’t drive.
We had a couple payments go through during the "downtime". Maybe "Severely elevated error rates" would be better?
yeah, it's like np problems. Nobody needs to talk about the travellingn salesman, and it's harmful to even say it's an no problem, since we already have SAT solvers, and that's all we need to understand that np problems are hard to solve.
Because there's no where remotely close to enough PCI-E lanes off of the SoC to do that.

Thunderbolt 1/2 requires a pcie gen2 x4 connector to have enough bandwidth. The SoC in the pi4, the Broadcom BCM2711, has just a single gen2 pcie lane. 1/4th the required bandwidth for thunderbolt 1/2, and a mere 1/8th the requirement for thunderbolt 3.

To get a full 8x thunderbolt 3 connectors you need a staggering 32 pcie gen3 lanes off of the CPU. This is out of reach of all but the HEDT & enterprise platforms, to say nothing of the $5 ARM SoC chips for SBCs. Well in theory you could also use something like a Ryzen 3000 and split out the 24 PCI-E gen4 lanes into 48 gen3 lanes and then you could have your 8x thunderbolt 3 connectors, too. But that's expensive, of course.

> It just seems wrong, in principle, that the law rewards that sort of behaviour

I'm not sure what sort of behavior you're referring to here. Snitching? Authorities should always reward snitching (unless it's snitching on the authorities.)

edit: probably the concept of a don being rewarded for snitching on his capos? I wholeheartedly support this. It prevents Eichmanns from giving up their agency. If you're a capo, you had better fully trust in the loyalty of your don, because a good law isn't going to enforce your criminal contract. If it did, it's basically legitimizing the relationship between criminal co-conspirators.

I think we as industry and society know nothing about geo-engineering, am I wrong? if yes doesn't this create big changes of failing and create more damage? If no can we point on geo-engineering to substain what we are doing wrong in terms of waste production and environment destruction?
I can’t wait for the economy to crash and fucking burn in the worst fucking ways.

You can’t make me spend money. You can’t make me work for a living. I can kill myself faster than you can extract emotions other than apathy from me. Nothing will motivate me anymore. And I’m not alone.

I pollute. I choke the world with garbage and smog. I hope all your children are poisoned and defective from birth. Impossible to manage with mental disorders, you’ll spend a lifetime in debt, medicating them until they seem passable as humans and not animals.

This stuff has been out there for a long time, but it's never become popular outside of outside of safety-critical or high-integrity systems. Examples include:

Microsoft's C/C++ annotations: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/code-quality/u...

Ada's ranges: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Types/range

Fun stuff to learn about in theory, but, unless you're working at a place where formal verification is part of the culture, good luck selling these tools to upper management.

Sure you can. Just reject any dependencies that don't pass your own linter. By switching to rust, you are doing the same thing anyway.
Possibly for you. But for me, nah, not really. No matter the regularity of the exercise, it does not really get better. Sure, weights I thought were heavy are easier to pick up, I can run further, etc. But I still feel like crap afterwards.

When I do OS updates (Fedora, so that's dnf and rpm) with a system on USB flash or SD Card flash, the write are abysmal. Like, 3-4MB/s, using `iotop -d3 -o`. There's almost no reads suggesting the RPMs that have been downloaded are cached. I experience this with ext4, btrfs, and f2fs.

Using strace on both dnf and rpm, there's no appreciable amount of sync(), fsync(), or fdatasync() - so I'm not really sure why there was this persistent ~4MB/s trickle to the card rather than large "state" updates, in particular for f2fs and Btrfs. All three make heavy use of delayed allocation, but in particular f2fs and Btrfs have no specifically designated locations for write, or overwrites. So I'd expect that most update OS type writes should/could be much faster.

A sequential write is ~20MB/s on both of these media, and sequential reads are ~150MB/s. I wasn't ever able to profile it well enough to understand why it's so dog slow.
Oh that looks awesome. I’ll definitely be using that once available, thanks for bringing it up!
I think this is a great point. When we tell people we're thinking about homeschooling, one of the most common responses is something along the lines of, "What makes you think you can do better than an educational professional?"

And my response is that I don't have to be a better teacher than a teacher, I have to be more effective at teaching my _one_ child than a teacher is at teaching my child as one of 30 children of widely differing abilities and behavior.

I've spent a lot of time in coaching and educational roles, so I feel pretty capable as a teacher, but I think the point remains that the best way to teach a roomful of children is unlikely to be the best way to teach an individual child.
Asking for curiosity: Given the tenured faculty comparison, should we blame tenured faculty who criticize predatory lending when their university accepts students with the same predatory loans?

Or perhaps a more direct comparison: Are tenured faculty at D1 sports universities hypocritical for researching the benefits of more funding going towards education and less towards massive stadiums?
Well good for them.
Second this - I like being able to pick my own food with a DoorDash group order vs everyone getting the same thing. The only caveat I've hit is order maximums requiring splitting into multiple orders for bigger groups.
Do you think they care? Academy is rotten in some countries.
>I see it as you're selling to a shrinking market.

I'd respectfully disagree. Food delivery is a huge and growing market but it has also bred a whole new ecosystem of other ways of thinking about on-demand food consumption. There are a bunch of companies that have raised a lot to tackle niches within the industry such as Ritual (lunch pick-up, raised $113M), Allset (order ahead to sit down at a restaurant and pay in-app, raised $8M). Uber Eats just started offering a dine-in option and DoorDash and Postmates also now offer pick-up. These are all value add in cities and dense areas.

My take is that a 'fake' that's actually identical in terms of function is real enough for me (these could be ghost-shift output from the same factories, for example). The horror stories you see about SD cards though are unusable things that pretend to have huge capacity but won't hold data etc. so those are truly fakes.
Hi Eric,

How do you plan to compensate countries who own the beaches or waters targeted by the project? Do you have an estimate of how receptive a community will be to having their beach turned green, especially if they rely on it for a portion of their income?

A country outside of the world's economic powers might want financial insurance in the event that the the project causes ecological damage and hurts their economy.
Definitely not that.
The guys in his block will find out he's a snitch. The shorter sentence may be more of a curse.
As someone downstream of providers like Stripe who is on call for issues like this, that term is actually quite helpful to me. It tells me that I should be expecting delays and timeouts, and that some percentage of operations are likely to complete, whereas a complete outage likely means requests are failing immediately or failing to connect. This is important information when reviewing our options. During a full outage, aside from failover (when possible and not automated), we usually don’t need to take any action. When dealing with greatly increased error rates, it may be beneficial for us to disable the API on our end in order to avoid a lot of hung open connections and delayed responses for our users. We’d rather that operations fail immediately and completely instead of forcing users to wait around for operations that are unlikely to complete anyway.
I'm going to do everything in my power when I have kids to send them to the most elite institutions possible from pre-K all the way to college.

Having come from nothing and seeing the vast difference in quality of education and outcomes, and seeing how terrible public schools are (even the good ones!) is really eye opening in one sense and not entirely surprising in another.

Seeing extremely un-intelligent kids from my high school go on to become public school teachers isn’t very reassuring.
Sure, but the solutions to the solved problems in physics are also called "theories". I'm sure you knew the GUT is not yet done, it was just a clarification.

Nevermind, I made a mistake in my original calculations - used variance instead of standard deviation.

Actually (from approximating the binomial distribution with n=22k and p=17/22000 with normal one) getting the rate over 30 per 22k has p<0.001.
I like this opinion. It bolsters how much power, we as software engineers, have on the world. This is our new democracy. How do we convince people that we can move the world in the right direction re: pollution, human trafficking, equal rights, etc if we join up collectively?
Yeah, I love Ritual for ordering - the bonus points system is great as it's real cash back - similar to the star quests on Starbucks app which get a little addictive.
I love these sorts of tests. The cost to try this for a week/month/whatever is super low, and if it fails you move on.

Ideally these sorts of things are run by a non-political portion of a city government, nothing riles business associations more than the risk of losing parking.
"Modern" times attracted people into wanting faster for less. You can do a lot without cars, but you have to unplug your soul from not walking.

Also society shifted, cars meant larger but further shopping centers, and job areas.
