Using research literature in science and engineering education is a developing area. Undergraduate life sciences has been a focus, and freshman science literacy. But CREATE-like (Consider, Read, Elucidate hypotheses, Analyze and interpret data, Think of the next Experiment) strategies have also been used pre-college.

IIUC, pre-college has tended to blend in, or focus on, science journalism.

But I suggest there may be long-term potential to use research literature more extensively, and down towards primary school.

Parts of papers can be much more accessible than others. A delightful paragraph in some paper's introduction section. Some photo, or diagram. Some graph. Or parts of a survey paper, or of a 'context of these papers' column in a good journal. There's been work on using more papers, broadly and more shallowly, rather than diving on each. Doing that pre-college, will be tech sensitive.

Tech matters. Small-group collaboration tooling is important. Annotation of papers, by group and instructors, is helpful. Assorted stop-dead friction is amenable to tech fixes - "what does this mean?", "$40?!?", "what parts of this text might I be able to understand [without having to skim it all myself]?".

So perhaps picture some years out, a small group of middle school students, with AR NPC peer support, surfing a content blend, of educational, outreach, journalism, and research literature, with assorted tooling support.

For now, apropos sci-hub... If you think hitting paywalls is frustrating, picture the impact on STEM-retention at-risk students, with little experience, and very uncertain they are welcome here. Or you, now, surfing an HN comment, hearing of research literature being used to teach critical thinking to pre-service teachers, briefly intrigued, which might be gone in a moment, or become the seed a passion project - you google scholar, and... $40 to see more than a low-content abstract. Or sci-hub.
It's worth noting that a lot of their reference architectures are hugely bloated for what they need to do. It's equally important to consider the cost of the solution, and many of AWS solutions are very expensive.
Could be interesting to find out to which extent ‘Big Tech’ is complicit in stirring up people.

Assuming the big services are the agents of manipulation usually suggested here.

And assuming blocking accounts will drive some groups to use more neutral services (I absolutely no idea if this is the case, but I imagine censorship resisting services have a more freee software like ethos than profit driven)

It could mean that it could be studied to what extent the platforms shape things in relation to the users them selves.
This is a good point that isn't emphasized in this thread. A lot of people seem very upset about one mechanism of dissemination no longer being available, and treating it as though the content of the message boards are now illegal.

Functional zealotry seems to be at the core of most problems with Haskell. It’s unfortunate that these concepts keep being shoehorned into numerous other languages.
There’s truth to this, but it’s more complicated. In my neighborhood, even if our mayor “opened” things back up, very few would be willing to, say, dine indoors. I can say this confidently because we were less locked down in the late summer.

Tight oil can't be profitable while OPEC has significant conventional oil extraction, because when US tight oil extraction is profitable, OPEC produces more to lower the price.

"the impetus for the passing of Section 230 was to protect free speech by removing liability concerns for what others say online."

No, it was not meant to protect free speech. It was meant to protect the market for Internet services, from ISPs up to user-facing services. The Internet ecosystem would be crushed either by trolls/nazis or by waves of lawsuits against companies that dared to moderate such things without some form of liability protection for services that perform some degree of moderation.

I am also not a big fan of the "incitement" defense, it seems that is often a moving goal post depending the the political views of the person being accuses of incitement, it is also very subjective, I am not a fan of subjectivity in policy. Policy have to be objective.

Can't help but notice that none of the typical authoritarian apologists have jumped in with their hot tech takes. Guess that, when there's a certain density of blue links backing up complaints about police with evidence, folks put up their noses and stay quiet. I'm reminded of Sartre's quote about anti-Semites:

> If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

On this post, HN's cryptofacsists and ethnonationalists are abruptly silent. How curious! Let me quote the central point:

"Between May 1 and November 28, 2020, authorities were more than twice as likely to attempt to break up and disperse a left-wing protest than a right-wing one. And in those situations when law enforcement chose to intervene, they were more likely to use force — 34 percent of the time with right-wing protests compared with 51 percent of the time for the left. Given when this data was collected, it predominantly reflects a difference in how police respond to Black Lives Matter, compared with how they respond to anti-mask demonstrations, pro-Trump extremists, QAnon rallies, and militia groups."

You might change your mind if you’ve ever had someone try to break into your home at 3am. Happened when I was a kid. Fortunately my father had a lowly 0.22 rifle. The sight of the rifle in my fathers’s hands was enough to convince them to leave.

This excellently describes the situation in essentially every developed country (except one, of course).

Less guns and less gun culture means less gun deaths. It's not rocket science.
You are wrong on principle because you stopped thinking after you calculated the death rate after week eight. The virus doesn't stop spreading in either of the hypothetical cases and the population is a finite number. Keep calculating!

Also, your numbers are arbitrarily picked. Why don't you pick 1.8x and 1% vs. 1.9x and 0.999%?
GPT-3 will naively do much worse than DeepL at translation tasks; but may do pretty well (maybe better, though I don’t know that anyone’s rigorously compared them) if you contextualize the question carefully, e.g. make it a fill-in-the-blank line after a bunch of pre-made translation pairs, or even a “resolve this blank in the middle of the story” question with both prefixed and suffixed example translation.

But GPT-3 still hasn’t seen “much” non-English test (they only intentionally feed it mostly-English-language sources for now) so it’s definitely not as good at translation as a GPT-4 that had seen equal amounts of other-language corpus would be.

The way you phrased this is funny because it can be interpreted as either a pro gun or anti gun statement:

1. Civilians should be able to keep or carry a firearm without a license.

2. No civilian should be able to keep or carry a firearm.

In America licenses are not generally required to purchase handguns, rifles, or shotguns except in the more restrictive states. And each year more and more states are trending towards being able to carry without a permit as well.

I think you might be making the mistake of thinking that all these people are actually arguing in good faith...

They don’t have explainable concerns, they just want the result of the presidential election changed for no other reason than that they prefer Trump over Biden.

Otherwise they would have accepted the outcome of all the legal challenges in court, where all the evidence they are relying on have been rejected.

But they don’t... these people keep reiterating evidence that has already been dismissed by multiple courts.

I absolutely agree that it’s deeply problematic to ignore the views of portions of the population.

But how do you reconcile Trump’s and his supporters vivid fantasy world with reality?

Increasing prices for an item increases supply. Increases in technology can also increase supply while decreasing prices.

Oil sands were long considered unusable, but when oil prices got high enough, it was profitable to start mining them turning Venezuela into an oil rich country. Once they started working, they found more efficient ways to extract the oil, so they could complete up to a point as prices stabilized and later dropped.

We see the same thing with fracking. As oil prices increase, it becomes profitable. As they get better at it, the minimum profitable price decreases.

Today, subsidized or not, you'll see fracking continue as it's much more efficient than it once was.

> How the MRI team is going to tackle mutations in those messages

Object.freeze, presumably.

Immutability exists as an option within Ruby’s OOP system, and has since the beginning, so it’s well-integrated[1], with other language features having been built to take it into consideration.

I would expect any[2] message sent to a Ractor to be

1. On the sending side, verified as being acyclic;

2. On the receiving side, reconstructed by doing a recursive “clone and then freeze” operation.

Since most messages wouldn’t be “deep”, this wouldn’t usually be costly; but in the case of a “deep”(ly hierarchical) message, you could probably pre-“deep-clone-and-freeze” the objects you’re going to send, and the runtime would hopefully detect this and not bother to deep-clone-and-freeze them again. (Maybe they’d add a runtime tag-bit on objects for “me and all my references — transitively! — are frozen”, that could be pre-set for any object when it’s frozen, if it sees that all its instance-variables are also already marked as transitively-frozen.)

Alternately, they might just lean on the Marshal module, adding the capability for Marshal to load a dumped object-graph as all-frozen; and then just use Marshal.dump on the sending side and Marshal.load(..., freeze: true) on the receiving side. This wouldn’t allow for the efficiency wins of the above, but it would have the advantage of being a single already-well-tested-and-optimized all-in-C transformation; and it would give the MRI maintainers some docs to point at (those of Marshal.dump) to indicate what’s possible to send in a Ractor message.

—————

[1] Integers, Floats, and Symbols come frozen by default; and there’s a pragma you can add to source files such that their string-literals will also be created frozen. So it’s not like Ruby code isn’t “prepared” for frozen objects. Your own Ruby code deals with plenty of them!

[2] What if you want a mutable reference to an object in another thread? Well, think about the semantics of what you want. Presumably, you want sending a message to the object to actually first send (a recursive frozen clone) of your message back to the object’s owner-Ractor to handle. What system already does this? DRb! You can send a DRb object-proxy handle to another Ractor, and it won’t matter that it receives a recursively-frozen clone of it; it’ll still work to communicate with your own Ractor’s mutable “remote” object. Think of DRb handles as the Erlang PID-objects of Ruby.

I actually agree that the 2nd amendment exists for this purpose (protect against a tyrannical government) and think that is a good thing. An armed private citizen stands zero chance of effecting any defense against our military. None. Zero. It'd be a joke. Futile. Even the most practiced and prepared "militias" would fairly quickly be put down if the full might and focus of the US military where to be trained on them. The most a militia could hope for in such a scenario would be a guerilla warfare style protracted conflict combined with broadcasting a message that would win over the hearts and minds of the general public, that would then cause the US military to stop due to political, not military reasons. But such an outcome is unlikely in the scenario you're presenting, because the military would be controlled by a tyrant, not the public.

One thing to note is that under current law you cannot stockpile weapons. And you cannot create bio weapons or cyber weapons. You have no access to massive bombs. The 2nd amendment, in my opinion, has become an excuse for individual to own weapons that are dangerous to private citizens and the safety of the public but of no consequence in a fight against a tyrannical government.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Note the "a well regulated Militia" and "a free State"

Militia is capitalized. As is State. In politics (and generally internationally "State" has a very different meaning than is commonly used in the USA (in modern times, the founding fathers used it more in line with the way international law understands it to mean). To keep it short, the National Guard, again in my opinion, very effectively fulfills the purposed intended of this amendment. It is a well regulated militia that the State can direct to mount an effective defense against a tyrannical Federal government.

Hmmm. There are a few different levels of "proficiency" for a product as sprawling as AWS, and I think there are different ways of approaching each level. You didn't tell us what you are looking for :) .

* Broad knowledge of services. This is important because you can often short circuit or accelerate entire projects just by being aware of AWS services. Ways to learn this: certs (esp the Architecture cert), subscribe to rss feeds, sign up for https://www.lastweekinaws.com/newsletter/ , read: https://expeditedsecurity.com/aws-in-plain-english/

* How to use a service at a basic level. This means that you know what a service is/does and can do basic tasks with it (start up an EC2 instance or know which EC2 type makes sense for a certain use case, for example). Here the AWS tutorials and other docs are good (reference architectures, well architected framework), as are the certs.

* Understanding the ins and outs of a service. This is where you start to dive in deeper. You might learn what the limits of EBS are for certain EC2 instance types, how to use local volumes, how to maximize network throughput, when you might use dedicated hardware, etc. Here good sources are books, re:invent videos, the builders library: https://aws.amazon.com/builders-library/ , hard knocks/testing ( when in doubt, test it out: http://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/3335 ). You can also short circuit some of the learning by hiring consultants.

* Being an expert at a service. I'm not there, but I've definitely seen some of these. The best way to get here is to do lots of projects. You can also try to teach others about this by teaching courses, writing a book or video series, or blogging. I find that teaching something causes me to learn it in ways that doing that same thing never does, because you have to be prepared for questions.
