Feelings about homework might have non-obvious broader impacts.

Science education content is wretched. Current reform efforts like Common Core and NGSS barely scratch the surface. But still there's a lot of community opposition. Years ago, I had a long conversation with an anti-Core activist, exploring their perspective. It seemed their root cause was their child had found some Core-ish class too hard, and notably here, its homework. And thus a movement gained an activist, trying to prevent other children from suffering similarly. With science education reform as collateral damage.

Which isn't to say that current homework isn't as wretched as the underlying content and pedagogy.

Why do people need to be rewarded money to do something like this? Why can't the reward be a better social life or better mental health? As the person says in the article, "Getting away from the smartphone has been freeing, and it has opened my eyes and made me more aware of some of my other bad health habits." That's a pretty good reward for most. I'd take that $100k and use it to spread awareness about social media and its health effects. All a project like this does is reinforce the idea that people should only do things for monetary gains, including bettering their body and mind.

> I suggest that the first job you take be the one with the highest learning potential, not the highest earning potential

I don't know about the advice to take the job where you learn the most. It's great advice for startup founders and company owners who can get naive young new graduates for below market rates. Not so great for the graduates themselves.

See, jobs that pay a lot are typically demanding of your intellect. You're going to need to learn a lot to do them well. But beyond that, you have limited time on this Earth. If you've decided you're going to trade some of it away for money, it seems wise to make sure you're getting as much back in exchange as you can, other things being equal.

I've known a number of people who did the naive, idealistic thing and worked for a string of startups in their twenties and early thirties. But, inevitably, most of those companies end up failing -- that's the most common situation -- or paying out what amounts to a nice bonus after years of high risk, high stress, labor paid below market rates. BTW, that second scenario is the 99% best case scenario.

Sure, if you're this person, you've had some exciting times. But you didn't own those times. Those were the founders. You were just working for the owner. And now you've finally wised up, but you're ten to fifteen years behind the ball on saving for retirement or a house.

A lot of young people really can't understand how big of a problem it can be to just be getting started on this stuff in your late thirties. It seems like you have all the time in the world, but you really don't. Fortunately, in software engineering, we're paid so well that a frugal person can do a lot of catching up. But if things don't go nominally, shit can get rough.

Just throwing this out there. I think the "work to learn" advice is idealistic, but I don't think it necessarily serves every potential recipient. Or even most of them. If you don't have family money to fall back on, consider putting on your life vest by putting in a few years getting paid as much as you can, then consider whether there's something that's missing from your career that could be served by taking the high risk, learning-focused job. Or, just jump right into founding companies. But don't work for below-market rates and a tenth of a percent for a startup founder who probably has a trust fund.
> exercise has also been proven to greatly reduce the risk of depression and Alzheimer's

I'm not convinced that it has. Lifestyle interventions in general tend to be given a lot of hype based on very little hard evidence, probably because lifestyle advice is unregulated and appeals to our biases about cultivating virtue. Of those I'm motivated enough to dig into, claims of lifestyle changes having a large effect on disease tend to be based on at least one of:

1) unfounded assumptions about the significance of a correlation (e.g. since exercise intolerance is a symptom of several cardiovascular and neurological conditions, it may be that getting less exercise is an effect rather than a cause of such a disease)

2) cherry-picking poor-quality or pilot studies

3) exaggerating the practical importance of a well-established but small effect

4) assuming that an intervention proven to improve X in a healthy population must help prevent or treat a disease that involves lowered or impaired X

For depression in particular, the effect of physical activity per se virtually vanishes in more rigorous studies, or when comparing leisure to non-leisure physical activity [1] [2]. Basically, the psychosocial meaning of "exercise", and the social structure surrounding it as a positive activity, seems to matter more than the actual exercise.

Your second scenario is what is often promoted despite being hard to believe at this stage. Your third scenario is very likely IMO. Your first scenario sounds like the world runs on magic beans and somehow things will just work themselves out without any intervention or disaster (your third scenario) ...

No that's the funniest aspect of the Google result. They barely have any control over what their gates do.

Gil makes this point, but doesn't call it out: they're claiming supremacy by turning the challenge around. "You can't classically simulate our device (which largely does it's own thing because of issues)."

A kid shoots an arrow at a target. The arrow hits the haybale, but not the target. Suddenly the kid yells "I bet you can't hit my arrow!" and claims Archer Supremacy because nobody even cares to try. Are you impressed? I'm not.
It blows my mind that people still use the "lie detector" (polygraph) for anything.
Not sure why you are getting all of the downvotes. I think you have a pretty interesting point. If drug users were educated on how to test the purity and had better information on dosing maybe it would prevent overdoses. Then again, maybe it would give them a false sense of security and be more reckless. I wonder if this has been studied.

I seem to recall that Australia's 2017 flu-season was particularly rough, in large part, because the strains that were chosen for vaccination mutated after the vaccinations were produced.

(I wouldn't be surpirsed if the "anti-vaccination" rhetoric, which was playing-up a lot in those years, might've also mis-informed some families about the benefits of flu vaccination.)

The school model is a bit fascist. The youtube or video model is an interesting way for academics to propagate their ideas because only the people who actually want to be there, show up. The ability to get Q&A from a community of broad but like-minded people in their interest for the topic makes for an incredibly focused experience. Like being engrossed in a campfire horror story rather than being forced to listen to paint dry.

The big problem with video, that makes me still value text based tutorials from the yesteryear (2000s), is that it's very hard to search for a particular sentence or string of information in a video. The varied pacing and delivery of information between speakers can get vary frustrating when you have to break your work flow to get to that exact moment in a video where the guy repeats what you want to hear inbetween ums and ahhs, and his 3rd time explaining a very basic concept.

Text still allows the reader to be in control of the pace & is the most easily searchable for the right information, which is vital for maintaining focus & flow at work. Video needs to catch up to that, hopefully automatic transcription can save the day.
Definitely don't read it as a history. It's just a lie. Schmidhuber is laying claim to a lot of things he didn't do. And is taking anything that kind of relates in words to modern techniques and claiming that he invented the technique. Even if practically his papers have nothing to do with what the words mean today and had no influence on the field.

These are basically the only outliers who claim that automatic differentiation was invented by Linnainmaa alone. Many people invented AD at the same time, and Linnainmaa was not the first. Simply naming one person is a huge disservice to the community and shows that this is just propaganda, as much of Schmidhuber's stuff is.

1. First Very Deep NNs -> This is false. Schmidhuber did not create the first deep network in 1991. This dates back at least to Fukushima for the theory and LeCun in 1989 practically.

2. Compressing / Distilling one NN into Another. Lots of people did this before 1991.

3. The Fundamental Deep Learning Problem: Vanishing / Exploding Gradients. They did publish an analysis of this, that's true.

4. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Recurrent Networks. No, this was 1997.

5. Artificial Curiosity Through Adversarial Generative NNs. Absolutely not. Andrew G Barto, Richard S Sutton, and Charles W Anderson. Neuronlike Adaptive Elements That Can Solve Difficult Learning Control
Problems. IEEE Trans. on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, (5):834–
846, 1983

6. Artificial Curiosity Through NNs That Maximize Learning Progress (1991) I have nothing to say to this. This isn't something that worked back in 1991 and it's not something that works today.

7. Adversarial Networks for Unsupervised Data Modeling (1991) This isn't the same idea as GANs. The idea as presented in the paper doesn't work.

8. End-To-End-Differentiable Fast Weights: NNs Learn to Program NNs (1991). Already existed and the idea as presented in the original paper doesn't work.

9. Learning Sequential Attention with NNs (1990). He uses the word attention but it's not the same mechanism as the one we use today which dates to 2010. This did not invent attention in any way.

10. Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (1990). Their 1990 does not do hierarchical RL, their 1991 paper does something like it. This is at least contemporary with Learning to Select a Model in a Changing World by Mieczyslaw M.Kokar and Spiridon A.Reveliotis.

I just have to say going from $12/year to $36/year in the span of three years on auto-renew is more than irri-tating, it was cancel-ating.

So what is the best alternative for me?
lol.. all transmissions are pricey and basically a transmission should last for at least 200k.. Basically when the tranny goes you are done. If a brand has bad trannys people find out about it and don't buy their vehicles... including new ones. This is why you see 60k power train warranties etc...

Parts are shared across vehicle lines and sometimes across manufacturers.

Luxury manufacturers also have invested heavily in the certified pre-owned market which means that to save money they make the cars better initially. Why? Otherwise they have to pay the dealer for the work to repair. Cars are so reliable that even dealers will warranty the power train on a used car for 100k miles for no additional cost (even after negotiating the sale price). That's how confident they are. If you are really worried buy the used luxury car from carmax and purchase the extended warranty.
In Android land you can buy a phone where the bootloader can be unlocked and directly flash a pre-rooted ROM rather than relying on people exploiting security vulnerabilities like this.

> The only explanation for observing 1000 coin flips coming up as heads is that something other than random chance made that happen.

But you can't have it both ways, You can't say their could be several explanations and something other than random chance made that happen for the same thing.

I'm not trying to say its likely. Just thats its possible and because its possible that can not be the sole basis to prove guilt. You say "overwhelmingly most likely" and yes I agree its very unlikey but its still possible and because it is possible we shouldn't use that as the sole basis to prove guilt.

Use it as a pointer to start digging into them sure. find other things to build your case. But don't use that sole thing as the basis of guilt.

All I've been saying all this time is that its possible. And because it is possible that I personally won't "throw someone under the bus" because its improbable and not impossible.

I've definitely had classes where the homework was optional. In my case it has been higher-level math courses, where there are regular quizzes to verify that you know the material.

Of course, it's theoretically impossible for the matter to spin at the speed of light, and any actual material will tear itself apart at speeds far below c.
Robotaxis will quickly become highly durable (well, maintenance become cheap), since for the first time incentives mostly align. The car will be produced and maintained by the same one of few powerful corporations.

The bigger problem will be aligning incentives with the customer. Especially regarding safety, since riders can hardly evaluate that by themself.

Well, I agree with you that currently federation does not help, cause it is not used. However, XMPP is actually very easy to use protocol. It only gets hard when you're building a chat application that does all sorts of things that are expected from a modern messenger. But receiving a message, replying, is easy, fast, and requires surprisingly low power. It is no coincidence why both apple and Google use a modified XMPP to power their push notifications. So supplying every 'smart' device with a capability to talk over xmpp potentially solves all interroperability issues. You just need to agree on message format, all other infrastructure is already in place.
A myth of the past: the reason why everyone switched to online update cycles was recognizing how common security updates and other bugfixes were, and how much you’d save by planning to do them regularly.
Their release pattern with the Apple fault could effectively be called a PR campaign, including a lot of editorial narrative about bad software development processes, etc.

This one gets a bug tracker entry.

When Project Zero posts a lengthy analysis with lots of scurious claims about the victims of the exploit, the window of exploitation, and narrative about the poor development practices that led to it, then call it even.

If it follows the traditional pattern, they'll write a post blaming some external party. No, seriously, when people point out all of the "Android" faults they've found invariably it is some variation of "but it isn't really Google's fault....".

Project Zero is brilliant, full of brilliant people, and is a remarkable effort, but when your paycheque is signed off by someone, it is human nature that you're really going to pussyfoot with them.

But maybe there are benefits I’m not aware of.

You don't necessarily want all batteries to come with built in protection. Today, you have the option of with or without.

Each protection circuit comes with a power cost. Consider the most basic protection: a resettable fuse (real protection circuitry is more complex).

If you put a resettable fuse on every battery in a pack that tiny voltage drop across a single battery will occur across each and every battery in your pack.

A small number of batteries and you wouldn't notice. But if you're looking at hundreds or thousands of cells it gets to be a major issue. Looking at string of batteries in series, if you draw a large current from the pack you'd find your pack voltage drops and you generate a lot of useless heat.

When building custom packs beyond hobbyist stuff it's often better to source (or design) your own battery management system than to rely on safety circuitry in each cell.

And that's not even mentioning the pack management and communications capabilities that custom pack- or string- based management circuitry would have.
I’m sure that made the early years a lot easier.
The ticket is legal, because by the time you get the ticket, they know you've committed the offense.

People who create video and audio content should definitely consider getting transcriptions made. Automated transcriptions are still pretty mediocre but I get all my podcasts transcribed by humans. It's valuable for a lot of reasons: SEO, listeners who prefer to consume text, and myself for reusing material in other forms.

Yes! I absolutely can refuse to use someone's "preferred pronoun." I summarily reject your assertion that using the gender neutral and grammatically correct "they" in place of "he"/"she" (not them) to refer to anyone is ever insulting or demeaning. You can say it's insulting and I just don't agree that is true in general. Yelling loudly and with outrage doesn't make your claim stronger than mine.

I am not rejecting anyone's gender, I am simply not acknowledging it because it is usually not germane to the discussion.
It's not that I don't believe people deserve respect, trans or otherwise. I just don't think it is an appropriate point for discussion in most instances.

If a white man says they wish to always be referred to as "the white guy" am I also obligated to do so? Is it not "accepting" of their whiteness if I don't use language to refer to it everytime? Especially so if they are on the internet and I can't even see them?

I don't know what color you are. I really don't care. I have no interest in referring to your race when addressing you, likewise your gender. I communicate with people everyday and gender, race, creed, and nationality just never come up.

And if someone insists on sharing their pronouns or their race or creed unsolicited, that is on them. That should not obligate me to do anything with it.

Edit: I've been downvoted. But would anyone actually like to explain how referring to someone in a gender neutral way is somehow more insulting than referring to them in a race, religion, ethnicity, or any other identity-forming aspect neutral way? Things we take for granted all the time when we use the neutral (not just gender) pronouns them/they?

It's less a question of "suburban vs urban" than "wealth vs poverty."

Big cities have wealthy neighborhoods and poor neighborhoods, good schools and bad schools. And likewise, there are wealthy suburbs and poor suburbs.

A school that serves a mix of wealthy and poor suburbs probably has a more-average quality than the low end of a highly segregated city, but you can bet that a school in a tony part of NYC is going to be a hell of a lot better still.

All of this is due to San Antonio vs Rodriguez, which IMHO is the worst Supreme Court decision since Dred Scott.
