We have a 3 year old in NJ (suburb of NYC). His pediatrician and my wife's doc both recommend he go in-person to his preschool. So far schools are re-opening but are 3 days a week instead of 4, with staggered drop off times. We are preparing for a shutdown a few weeks in by lining up a pod of 4 other kids and a teacher.

I honestly think that our area of NJ has a good a chance of making it through in-person for the long-term due to being so slammed by it at first & the pro-social reaction from most of our neighbors.
It's fun to find the sources to see how GPT output correlates with the input data:

Input texts:

Go, rate thy minions, proud insulting boy!

Hither to London, to be crown'd our king. / Welcome, sweet prince, to London, to your chamber.
/ Post you to London, and you will find it so /
Now to London,
To see these honours in possession.

How will the country for these woful chances
Misthink the king and not be satisfied!

Output:

Go, rating to London, with all these woful chances
Misthink the king and not be satisfied!
I think the issue is that military is permitted to fly without broadcasting anything, but the airspace is restricted to avoid civilian collisions. Or maybe de-facto clear by staying in high enough altitudes?

I have seen some military aircraft light up while practicing refueling over the pacific, but go dark when leaving or returning to base.
Why everyone uses transfer learning
I will start by saying I had the easiest possible situation to start with, and 100% acknowledge that privilege. My wife is a stay at home mom and I've worked from home for five years, and have an office with a door (and we have a yard). Also neither kid was in formal schooling yet in March. One was in preschool, which just shut its doors March 18th and gave us refunds, and the other is only three.

During the summer we enrolled the five year old in weekly art camp (all over Zoom). She had fun doing art and it kept her busy for a good chunk of the day. The camp was only an hour but then she'd spend a bunch of hours afterwards finish the project. She's enrolled in their after school program now which starts in a couple weeks.

She was supposed to start Kindergarten this year, but since we're in California, that's all remote over Google Meet. Right now she has a 1 hour Meet in the morning, and that's it. Starting next week there will be three meets throughout the day, once with the whole class and then two small groups with the teacher or a parent.

So far it's working out. The kinder teacher is embracing online learning and has good activities that work over Meet, and she's totally cool with younger siblings joining in (because apparently 1/2 the class has a younger sibling).

Beyond that, the kids just play with each other all day, and sometimes I take a break to play with them. My wife gets to work on her own projects but has to take frequent breaks to mediate their playtime or help them transition activities.

We have a rule in the house of no electronics when the sun is up. Sometimes we let them break the rule to play educational games, especially right now during the heat wave when they can't even go in the yard. But the rule is a good fallback when they want to use electronics: "Sorry, sun's still up!".

Also we're super lax about cleaning up toys, so I can't walk in a straight line in my house anymore. There are toys everywhere. But it's a small price to pay to avoid the daily clean up arguments!

Blaming Google for that is some bizzare history retconning bullshit. You want the DHS, FBI, CIA, and NSA for that.

Calling Google wiretapping would be like calling your bank a wiretapper because they log every transaction. Those previously listed bad actors with badges agencies doing so would be business as usual.

It is utterly exasperating to see "Big Tech" magically become the magnet for blame of things they don't even remotely do and see people believe any ole bullshit that confirms their preconceptions.
Most shops do have to pay somewhere around 15% of the revenue in rent. In addition to the flat cost, there are tons of commercial leases that charge a percentage of profits on top of that.

A Nintendo like gaming device with decent phone can be a viable alternative. Gaming i think generates a huge revenue for both iOS and Play Store. Those powerful cpu/gpu are simply getting wasted with current mobile games.
Young couple here with a 9yo living in a 900sqft apt. Both of us were fortunate enough to scrape by with above poverty income and government sponsored medical insurance while working from home. What have worked is... (1) 60 mins walk morning and evening, (2) 3 x 180 mins outdoor activity per week, (3) 3-5 x 60 mins tech tickets to be rewarded throughout the day for responsibilities and ability to reset emotions after an outburst; first ticket given in morning for just waking up on time and folding blankets, etc, (4) encourage hobbies such as coding, drawing, guitar, blender which keeps child occupied for a couple 1-2 hr and allow us to build our online business, (5) child diagnose w/ ocd, adhd, and likely mild autism, so we are always on our toes but the strict yet flexible schedule allow us to work with our child's personality, (6) sunday kid day! I think what helps the most is my child can combine hobby time + tech ticket to give me a few hours of uninterrupted time each day. I also try not to feel like the child is neglected and as a parent, I want to spend enough quality time with my child without regret. It's an uphill battle still after 2 years of home school. The toughest part is getting time to spend with your spouse but unlike us, you might be able ease things with family support.
> I don't see why not. If it's a problem, then either a competitor will emerge, or people won't purchase the product.

Aka "the invisible hand will fix it". We have been waiting quite a few years for this and it did not happen. Instead we got the complete opposite: a duopoly of android and iOS which nobody, not even Microsoft, can compete against. At this point, we have to acknowledge that simply waiting is not going to fix anything.

> I expect this web site is similarly, deliberately, incomplete.

Perhaps less incomplete than you think (and certainly more complete than the standard tracking websites, which outside of hiding planes also must honor a 5-minute data delay requested by the FAA).

The advisory circular bots the author runs link to https://tar1090.adsbexchange.com/ , which is run from a home-grown network of SDRs. It makes a point of not hiding anything that reports its position with ADS-B -- which all aircraft (over a certain size) must report by law. I've even seen Air Force One and its escorts on this service, something that is always absent from other flight tracking services.

About 5 years ago, Hewlett-Packard tried being a paid GSuite customer, paying for tens of thousands of seats, with a path to onboarding the entire company. We could not get support, or even a TAM who would answer their phone.

After a year, HP dumped GSuite, and went to O365 instead. We got a responsive TAM, full multi-tier support, and white glove handholding for migration. And, I think it was cheaper, too.

There is NO level of spending as a customer at which Google actually gives a shit.
No it is not.

LaTeX can, whether through the old model of dvi, or modern tools such as xlatex and pandoc, directly produce numerous document formats or "endpoints" as I consider them, including HTML, ePub, plain ASCII (or UTF-8) text, or paginated formats including ps, PDF, and djvu. LaTeX is not itself fundamentally print-oriented. The fact that it can and does produce excellent print-formatted output is a feature, not a bug.

What it is, and pointedly in ways that HTML lacks, is capable of intrinsically handling document-centric (not merely "print") elements including footnotes, endnotes, and formulae, all of which still require kludges after over a quarter century on the Web.

Markdown itself does not address several typographic or document conventions, including formulae, but also odd omissions such as underline and coloured text. Whether those get shimmed into Markdown, or an alternate (light- or heavy-weight) markup language is adopted, isn't clear, but those are very annoying lapses.

For the vast majority of documents, this does not matter. Most online content, say news media, use little more than paragraph, italic, and anchor elements. Even bold and list are rarely used. Authoring in Markdown should be almost wholly sufficient, but it's (La)TeX which has sufficient richness of expression to serve as the common underlying document format language.

Late edit: It also occurs that another principle angle of attack on HTMK alternatives, raised elsewhere in this thread, is that these cannot guarantee pixel-perfect presentation. That results in rather a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation: propopsed markup alternatives either cannot guarantee layout or over-guarantee layout. These objections rather want for consistency.
so, this tells me that in studies that corrected for the mother's iq, the difference was 2.6 points. My wife is asian, i am jewish, with a lot of phds in the family. This is an increase of less than 2%. Sorry, but there's no way I'm going to believe a study like that has an error/variance of under 2%. The studies also did not correct for the father's iq. The father is not serving the breast milk, but iq of the mother is not "passed on" through food, so if you're correcting for mom's iq, you're correcting for genetics, and the father is half of that. None of the studies corrected for quality of formula.
So... we're gonna throw out the freedom to play with non-cheating strangers when your friends are all busy, in order that every computing device, instead of just lots and lots of them, can have arbitrary software installed on it?

This feels like losing options, not gaining them.
The part of that argument I have trouble with is the “until all oven manufacturer were into the game” part. Do you have an example where an entire class of computer hardware became impossible to buy without firmware restrictions? This alarm bell has been sounded as “The War on General Purpose Computing” for over a decade for different pieces of hardware (laptops, desktops, routers, phones, etc.) but it still hasn’t really trended negatively (phones and routers in particular have many more unlocked options today that they did in the early 2000s), let alone come close to extinction for any of them. The broadest category you could make a case for is specifically x86 processors, but only the IME/PSP/SMM components.

I think the reality is there just isn’t as much business incentive to do these kind of things to computing devices as much as people imagine, and instead the arguments tend to paint the would-be oppressors as cartoon villains that want to remove these abilities from the world just because. Android phones that can root or at least sideload have been numerous forever; somehow nobody has bothered to create a halfway serious Google Play Store competitor anyway. Why would every business move to quash something which ultimately isn’t a universal threat? What Epic wants isn’t sideloading or rooting their way on to iPhones, they want Apple themselves to have to let users install Epic’s store through normal channels.
> You could get the signal that a given tail number was in the air, but if it stayed below a certain altitude, you couldn't always receive its location.

I believe trackers (like ADS-B exchange) will estimate location using mutlilateration. IE: enough receivers with GPS-sync’d time and knowing where they are can estimate origin with the differences in receipt timing.

With good enough equipment, even one ground station might be able to tell a lot with Doppler shifts. Unsure if that’s don’t in practice though.
That only works if you have friends to play both your teammates and the enemy team which is a very tall order. Most people play with strangers overall, and most people who play with friends just have them as teammates against stranger opponents.
The only people paying the cost of that are companies like Epic, and if their games aren’t available for iOS that will affect the popularity of the iPhone. Maybe Apple backs down on the in-app purchases, or maybe they don’t and that decision drives away developers followed by users. Until then, we’re just seeing them negotiate with each other via PR.
I definitely prefer it.
Your previous comment that said this is flagged and dead. It's not good practice to repost it, even if you add a bit of text that is still not fact based.
I've wondered what the relationship between long term interest rates and the human lifespan is.

Even if you lived only, say, a thousand years, just putting a little money into some reasonably safe investment would result in enormous wealth over time. Surely if everyone did this, the amount of wealth would tend to drive down rates.
So then the value add is that you can play with orders of magnitude more people than just the ones you happen to know and won’t cheat?
Some schools that are opening for in-person classes this fall don’t anticipate being able to remain open all winter, so they have kept one virtual day to make sure everyone is prepared to switch back to all-virtual when it becomes necessary.
> 5-minute data delay requested by the FAA

Can you expand on this for the noobs in the subject?
CBT gives me the tools to do all of this much quicker. I simply write down anxious or critical thoughts and examine/interrogate them on paper. There seems to be no point in sitting with my eyes closed for twenty minutes when I can effectively chase off a negative thought with paper and pen in five. This also gives me practice with actually changing my thought patterns and building better life habits. I don’t see how focusing on my breath could possibly change my thoughts any more effectively than that.
Complaints about "toxic" are a screen to hide the fact that you can't say "incorrect".
> If you add a feature, a client with the old version should continue to work correctly if you add optional elements. If they are NOT optional, then the client will fail regardless of whether you did XML+DTD or JSON, because your API needs that data and it simply wont be there.

Sure but, that begs the question, How is that better than JSON exactly? Maybe strong typing? And why isn't just sending a 400 Bad Request enough if the server fails validation?

I mean you could say well, "I know the data is valid before I sent it". But you still don't know if it works until you do some integration testing against the server -- something you'd have to do with JSON, anyway. XML is only about syntax, not semantics.

From what I've seen, XSD's tend to promote the use of complex structures, nested, repeating, special attributes and elements. And if you give a dev a feature, s/he will use it. "Sure, boss, we can keep 10 versions of 10 different messages for our API in one XSD" But should you?

JSON seems to do the opposite, it forces people to think in terms of data in terms of smaller chunks say. Yes you can make large JSON API's that hold tons of nested structures, but they get unwieldly quickly. And most devs would just break that up in different API's, since it's easier to test a few smaller messages than one large message.

> As a client, you don't have to validate your request before you send it. But it's nice (and probably preferable) that you can.

If you unit test your code, good unit tests serve as validation -- something you should be doing anyway. If you fail validation on your send, you have a bug anyway -- it's just you didn't get a 400 Bad Request message from the server. But to the user/dev, it's still a bug on the client side.

> requests is not built-in to Python, right?

Yes. But there's a lot of stuff not in the standard library that should be. The point is normal day to day code can be just a one-liner using native python data types.

> What's more, you still are not crafting the JSON yourself if you call json.dumps on a dictionary.

Sure, maybe a technicality here. If I type this, is it python or JSON?

{ "field": [ 1, 2, 3 ]}

Well, the answer is that both will parse it. json.dumps() just converts it to a string. No offense here, but I see it as a distinction without a difference.
Fair enough. Could you please describe other happy path scenarios? Is there an educational resource (blog post maybe?) that talks in depth about "happy path programming" in the general sense? Same applies to "self healing" I really want to know what the folks who came up with these phrases meant, in both specifics and the bigger picture. Thank you for the enlightenment so far!

FWIW, I wasn't aware that Elixir is not optimal for CPU-bound tasks. I use Go for highly concurrent servers, but it uses goroutines not a process per request, and mutexes and/or persistent channels to synchronize shared memory access.
> "...immediately afterward you become their product. You're being sold for the 30% tax."

I don't understand the argument you're attempting. Apple doesn't sell my info "for the 30% tax." In fact, they charge app developers that 30% and then keep my data away from those same developers.
Recall that "ontic" and "epistemic" are how we distinguish real facts about reality from observer-dependent knowledge about reality.

On your (1), the typical interpretations for QM say that the wavefunction is not ontic, and this is directly traceable to the Copenhagen school of thought. QM is best done when we consider that our knowledge of systems is always partial; it turns out that often, the system itself is also partial about knowledge of own state. I greatly enjoyed reading [0] recently for a coverage of a toy theory exploring this distinction in more detail.

On your (2), quantum contextuality [1] means something more subtle than your phrasing; it means that the state of a system is not the entirety of what is measured by an observer. To use your phrasing and state something very strong, the Free Will Theorem [2] says that the state of a system informs, but can never totally control, the way that a particle chooses to reply to an observer taking a measurement. This both opens the door for new avenues in free-will philosophy while slamming shut the idea that e.g. determinism can be meaningful or possible.

Perhaps it would, perhaps it would not.

For what this strange anecdote is worth, Alzheimer’s had not robbed my mother of her personality even when it was robbing her of object permanence, the concept of things having a left hand side, numbers over four, and speech.
>no biologist or chemist here would entertain for a minute any model that can't explain its mechanisms of action.

Entertain? Who even really knows what means at this point. But I'm fairly convinced that you'd be quite happy to have a theory-free "intuition pump" that could tell you "if you slow down binding with the following 3 membrane proteins, you see roughly double that effect on overall energy use by the cell".

The tool that generates this prediction may be completely unable to give you a "theory" about why this should be so, but then neither will the experiment(s) you do that confirm it to be true.

So, while indeed, ML-style stuff "should never be the endpoint", they can act as a incredibly useful intuition pump/launchpad for ideas and approaches that would otherwise remain inaccessible.
IIRC, the new memory connection they introduced with the latest POWER9 chips traded bandwidth and physical distance for a bit of latency.

I just wanted to say, I had a hard time googling your product. It was easier with DDG. The name made me have to dig deeper with keyword searches.

This looks like a cool service though and I'll be taking a deeper look TY.
To your first point, is it shown that people who live the longest follow this emotional program, in a way that is actually detrimental to their psyche? I am not talking about people experiencing various diseased states such as dementia and other chronic illness.

Restoring in your life the same levels or type of happiness that you see in kids seems unrealistic. Not only that, there tends to be a bias towards nostalgia and how good we had it when we were younger. As I have gotten older, I have only felt a continuous trend towards more happiness in general though. I was a confused, anxious child. I feel better on every level - but that has come with a lot of work on making sure I am eating nutritiously, moving regularly (outside and in the sun), sleeping well, and leaning in towards work that I feel fulfilled doing. It also comes with fostering social relationships and cultivating a good social circle. That's what worked for me.

There is a path for everyone, and there are some generalities we can make on what that looks like, but in the end it is going to be unique to the individual due to their specific circumstances and genetics.
I'd like to add that, when building an atom bomb, you are well aware of what you're doing - why you're still doing it is an entirely different topic (an interesting one which, in fact, falls right into the social sciences). Software engineers at facebook, on the other hand, are likely not aware of the full impact of their work. Their seemingly harmless and objective algorithms literally, although indirectly, cause deaths, and the engineers working on them should be aware of that.
Interesting, I hadn't thought of Rust as discouraging object orientation particularly. But then, I think of the Linux kernel as object-oriented C in places.

If you look at Unity, although the games are written in C#, there is a heavy emphasis on mixins for giving functionality to game objects, rather than inheritance or interfaces.

Between mixins and the ECS pattern, I think Rust's trait-oriented style looks aligned with that trend.
