"saudade" can be used in the phrase "matar a saudade" (literally "kill the feeling of longing", by for example, meeting a loved one who you haven't seen in a long time). Saudade can similarly be used without the connotation of a long time having passed, e.g. "já estou com saudade com você" (I already miss you)

Those are called "matters of fact" (in contrast to matters of law) which is what you need a jury for. The question of "did he cause pain or agony" would be the core question the jury would be answering.
That's why most federal pushes are for a "common core" curriculum. Math is math and federal funding doesn't preclude making local adjustments.

I agree the brain is the most powerful computer. No matter that the computers can compute so much faster and blah blah. The brain. I do need to write things down or draw things down.

Compare to using a real programing language, such as Go:

return runtime.NumCPU() + 1

Sure, there needs to be os to program (and possibly occasionally program to program) communication, but well defined binary formats are easier to parse in a more reliable manner. Plus they can be faster, and moved to an appropriate function.
And the ecosystem is a confusing, overwhelming mess.

I wouldn’t read the lack of public investment into software as accidental. Just look how terrible investments like healthcare.gov are to see why: massive mountains of cash if you’re not a worker and no need to deliver anything usable. There’s money in not understanding how software works if you’re a politician or a contractor.

That said, I don’t think I have ever heard of governments releasing copyrighted, closed-source software, let alone trying to make money off it. That just doesn’t make any sense. I don’t see any reason why the lack of a profit motive would be a detriment to competition in the event governments do invest in free software

Honestly this seems like something a trade treaty would be useful for if it weren’t written by multinational corporations. Until then we’re gonna be stuck with really, really shitty decisions as individuals, like ios vs android.

Hell, have you seen any competition in software in private markets? There’s isolated pockets of competition in certain circumstances, but from my perspective the major markets all colluded to fuck us roughly the same ways.

That said, this effort will fail for lack of decent hardware investment to keep costs down.
This comment really hits the nail on the head. Want to write code that never hits the L2 cache? Write packet headers before you even know what's going inside?

I wonder how much they will be paying their software developers. Right now, a senior developer that really understands cloud and distributed computing can make more than $500,000/yr at Amazon, Azure, or Microsoft. If they want to attract the talent to build this, they are going to have to pay a lot more than they are used to paying for software engineers.

>I really don't know how you make people care about things

To follow your tangent, I actually did a little bit of not terribly formal research on this at one point (maybe about 15 years ago now), calling up a variety of people in different volunteer organizations and asking them about their background and motivation for their volunteer work.

Generally, the anecdotes I gathered all roughly corresponded with their volunteer work tying in in some way with other facets of their lives.

For example, a man who had received books in prison from a volunteer organization joined that organization after he got out because he believed in the value of what they were doing. A mom volunteered on an organization that arranged activities for kids, which hers participated in. That sort of thing.

My takeaway was not terribly revolutionary: you can't -make- someone care about things, but their circumstances will increase the chance that they will care about related things.
Maybe I'm out of touch here but what support staff do teachers need when they're teaching remotely? I'd imagine a few administrative staff, maybe some counselors, and that's about it? Maybe I'm completely out of touch since I went to such a poor school that we couldn't even afford 5 days a week (I know a little something about budget cuts).

Janitors, cooks, nurses, even certain types of teachers that rely on in-person instruction (gym, woodshop, metals, etc.), facilities workers, and more are all not particularly needed when online only.

See, I'm not so sure about that. Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat both joined Google when it was less than a year old, and still work in technical roles. If they each own > 0.1%, they would be billionaires. That seems possible for a very early hire, although I don't know how dilution/IPO would change that.

If not billions, I think it's fair to assume they're each worth several hundred million.
I don't know, after a few months of home schooling, I'm pretty sure that mentor could be an AI.
When I moved to the US, this was one of the things that surprised me the most. I found it really odd that my coworkers would look for homes based on how good the schools were in that neighborhood. The fact that all kids don't get equal opportunity makes it feel like a very broken society.

I see it as less about signaling and more about proof.

A long time ago, a high school diploma was rigorous enough that people actually failed. A significant number of people did not earn one. Now, I don't even know of a friend of a friend who has failed to earn one, even if they just kept on retaking the courses at relatively easy schools until they passed.

It isn't clear to me what holding a high school diploma indicates about a person anymore simply because nearly everyone gets one.

What does holding a high school diploma prove?

I'm not in the triple A game design industry, more like some good grade, game-ish design industry, so what I have to say may not apply to the state of the art.

Generally, a material is made up of _several_ textures that serve different purposes. Common textures (often called 'maps') used to build materials are albedo maps, surface normal maps, metallic/roughness maps, subsurface scattering maps (this one is important for realistic looking human skin!). There's others, and sometimes aesthetics/requirements require shader authors to _make up maps_.

Consider a texture map just like, a precomputed data cache. You can encode pretty much anything in them. Why, in the gritty gore and carrion filled trenches, I've created systems where artists can use maps to annotate parts of models they think suck. That map was used in a camera AI system that tried to avoid looking at parts artists are ashamed of, adjust depth of field threshholds depending on the depth of bad stuff... That kind of thing. (That texture seam is too gross for the sizzle cinematic, there's NO TIME to fix it. Just smudge the camera, or have it lose focus as it sweeps through! shameMap.png to the rescue).

The limit to the kind of data you can _use_ is only your imaaaagination..

For people, for most aesthetics, at minimum you need a color or diffuse or albedo map.

People forget that generalization/abstraction is the end goal and should never be the first step. Unless and until you are sufficiently intellectually mature you should never start with general principles. Always start with a concrete example, motivate the arguments and slowly build/use the tools of Mathematics to work towards a solution. This is how Humans have learnt and developed for millennia but with the explosion of knowledge in the 19th/20th century we seem to have forgotten it and taken a completely wrong turn in the teaching of Mathematics. The result is that we have a lot of educated people (see in mirror :-) without any proper understanding.

Point is that GM leadership did things to inhibit the development of EV's even though they were the first company to develop one. (Blackberry didn't try and kill smart phones they were the MySpace to Apple's Facebook) When you have that kind of culture in the leadership team it's not fixable.

To this day GM continues to announce electric products which they delay or cancel before they come to market (ie: Cadillac Lyriq) and it seems the only reason they have the Bolt at all is to avoid having to buy regulatory credits from Tesla. They also seem to miss the point of why Tesla is successful. Most of the people that buy Tesla's don't do so because they care about the environment. They do it because it is a really great car, that just happens to be electric.
Agree on this. Ive seen social media post portraits the message in the lines of "if you don't support us, then you are part of them". I believe this is a bad tactics to gain support in a movement.

Excluding people will only lose support, instead they should've pushed for more social media post on explaining in an objective way why police brutality and racism exist, and how it will impact us (not only African American but POC as well as innocent civilians).
At my last job, we called MarkMonitor after NetworkSolutions' lack of admin security got our domain hijacked. I don't remeber the prices exactly, and I'm sure they've changed, but from what I recall, the per domain year prices were about 10x normal prices, like $100/year for .com, but they also had a mininum annual spend of I think $10k/year; to get the 'super lock' domain service was about $1000/year available on a small selection of TLDs. They were also pretty dismissive on the first call until they looked us up and you could hear the dollar signs spinning in their eyes. They were very easy to work with and professional after that though. This was while they were owned by Thompson-Reuters, they've since been sold to private equity.

Several states already follow effectively this model.

California is one of them: the state ensures each school district is funded based on enrollment, with some correction for poverty and English learners.

Oregon is another state where schools are largely state funded.

Hawaii has one school district for the whole state.

Illinois and a few other states have a robin-hood like system where money is redistributed to poorer districts to meet a set baseline.
Unfortunately, "there are two oceans between us and any potential aggressors" is no longer a viable defensive posture. If you're gonna be drawn into a war today it's unlikely to come with years of lead time.

You can't measure all of these things simultaneously (the operators don't commute), so even if all these observables exist for a photon, they don't all carry independent information. You can only "read out" what you can get from one observable.

In most quantum information experiments, that observable is polarization (more precisely, polarization in some particular direction), which is an exact one-bit measurement result.

In radio telescope observations, it's typically amplitude and wavelength that are measured. I don't know that "the information content of a single photon" is really meaningful for such observations since they don't observe single photons, they observe the overall intensity at different wavelengths.
Would that alter employer behavior or just job descriptions?

They could just set their employer talent management system to filter out applicants without those degrees.
> The problem is not in information quality.

Information quality can be interpreted many ways. I wouldn't say most teachers are good at their job or at presenting information. Most I had were not good at the job - a lot of them were babysitters and acted as such. At the college level, it's possibly worse where the people are so consumed with their research that they have absolutely no interest in teaching or getting good at it.

Textbooks are also very poor quality. History textbooks are probably the worst offenders.

Too bad Google does a terrible job of it. No way am I signing up for a Google Domain in the future.

I agree. I also think it fosters a sense of anti-intellectualism in those schools that are poorer as well. I've noticed the difference in my hometown (where I now teach) in the 10 years since I've graduated. I've talked about it with another teacher who went to school there as well (I will say, that's one thing they're good at; they usually hire locals, for better or worse). My mom was a teacher there for 30 years as well, as she's seen it too.

I don't live in the district I teach in, but I've already said that if I'm still teaching there (a big if) and have kids (another big if), I won't send them there if they're academically inclined. The school is routinely trying to gut AP classes in favor of "dual credit" (which is a joke) and they're removing normal accelerated classes for increased 'rigor' in others; which doesn't happen, as you get accelerated kids mixed in with kids in a collaborative class because the guidance doesn't care enough to separate them, and then we're also forced to cater to the lowest common denominator by administration as well... And "differentiated learning" just basically becomes "Oh, you're smart, here's another worksheet". It's, sadly, becoming a race to the bottom, and it's something the more wealthy schools in the area I live at wouldn't have.

100,000+ people have died because our country is fragile. unemployment is somewhere between 15-25%. a virus is about the dumbest enemy we could ever hope to face, and we've failed.

the u.s. is in massive debt, the highest in the world. the u.s. has no socioeconomic safety net, and i question your claim that the u.s. could easily provide one if it wanted. the existing "safety nets", such as social security and taxes, are so abused and misused that they serve as explicit counter examples to your claim. roads and infrastructure in the u.s. are falling apart.

in no household would it be advisable to have massive debt upon debt while the house is falling apart and you're living paycheck to paycheck. and yet, that is exactly what the u.s. is doing.

in many respects, the response to the virus has been both the u.s. didn't want to react to it and that the u.s. couldn't react to it. the u.s. does not have the organizational capacity to handle it.

You will be able to stop parents doing what’s best for their kids, not should you. To do so would be to bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator. We’re not a small homogeneous country like Finland.

Local fundraising, usually for arts and music, do very little for “getting ahead”.

Private schools operate by mostly weeding out the disruptive/ low performing kids and selecting self motivated students with supportive parents. They don’t usually have amazing teachers that “work magic”.

I’ve lived in some very poor areas in my life as both a child and adult. By far the #1 influencing factor is the education of the parents.

There are countries that try to ban inequality and the only thing that happens is things go underground and get more unequal.

That said, even if things aren’t all the same, there is no excuse for the bottom to be so low. A variety of terrible policies ranging from finances to letting disruptive kids have their way ruin what could be a much better experience.
