This is a failure of culture. We have got to do more to bring people together and stop pitting races and cultures against one another. Black kids are wasting away in these types of schools because black education and responsibility culture lags behind everyone. Why? I don’t know but it probably has a lot to do with how we, Americans, have essentially been at each other’s throats for a very Long time. It’s horrible that it’s been allowed to happen, but I feel the only way to stop schools and our society failing these kids again is when we can speak to one another freely, openly, without fear of cancellation. Stop looking at each other as a potential threat.
You got to be kidding me.

Baltimore spends $16,184 per pupil per year.[1] That places it 3rd of the 100 largest school systems in the country and far above the national average of $12,201. This is not a funding problem.

Coursera has pretty good content but I’m not sure their certifications lead to anything meaningful. I’m just using it to learn stuff so I don’t really care about that aspect but I see so many people online cheating.

Platform is pretty basic/poor. There’s bugs months old in some of the courses that haven’t been solved. I don’t think there’s much community/networking. They ask cringe questions at the end of a module to create discussions, very LinkedIn like “How will you use what you learned in the real world?”

The mobile app and the web app are out of sync. I’ve completed the course on the web but on the mobile app it says I still have 4hrs to complete.

I think all colleges will start to offer online degrees going forward. Lambda school seems to be taking off and it seems more like the future of education.

I’m a customer but won’t be an investor, nothing groundbreaking. Could easily be copied. They seriously need a better UX. Pluralsight & Datacamp UX is a lot better.

My understanding is that they can't get things to work at 10nm at the high desktop frequencies they use at 14nm. I don't know if that's yield issues, instability, or what... probably a combination of those? My sense is that on laptop, the 10nm stuff is doing... okay.

It sure seems like the hope is to limp along on 14(+++++) for a while longer and leap straight to a kinks-worked-out 7?

Wow! I love old tech, might have to get me one of these if it can be found. Thank you!
> I'm sure many of us can confirm exposure at such a young age.

Sure. It was a playboy, though. The internet has made it easier, but that shit was trafficked through schools long before the internet was anywhere close to being widely available. Bills and efforts like this will do nothing to change that.

It’s, dare I say, human nature to be curious about the forbidden.
> There will always be a niche that wants to do music production or engineering and can't afford Apple productions.

If Google cared about niches, they wouldn't have such a large graveyard of dead products - some of which were profitable and some of which were widely loved.
I can’t claim anything universal, so I’ll only speak for my own experience. I developed a bit as a teen, but stopped drawing entirely until my mid-late 30s, and it was a huge challenge to start again.

0. I prepared myself emotionally for failure. Knowing I might not get where I wanted to be let me get comfortable with the winding path of progress, and less likely to give up when a piece or practice didn’t go the way I wanted.

1. I got somewhere comfortable that I could spend a lot of time. At the time this was a neighborhood bar, now (when the weather improves) I’d probably choose my porch.

2. I drew. A lot. A lot a lot. I drew stuff I didn’t want to draw until I felt comfortable with the act, even if I didn’t like the outcome. And I threw away a lot. I know it’s common advice not to, but for me it was freeing to not get too invested in any one piece.

3. I drew portraits of people I cared about, as a gift for them. Another comment mentioned the importance of learning to see. Knowing the recipients may be hurt or unflattered by a poor portrayal of their person helped me take the time to “correct” my vision and how it corresponds to what I draw, and helped me really see where I could improve.

4. I shared anything and everything without hesitation—work in progress, “finished” pieces, really finished pieces—and explicitly welcomed feedback. This helped me see what other people saw in my work.

5. I prepared myself for disappointment. I’m somewhat repeating the first point because it was important for me to know my friends (and portrait gift recipients) might not always see the work from my eyes.

6. I took a sober, critical look at my work, to identify where I could improve, and kept drawing.
And it's rude to presuppose that even a single person is entirely at fault for their situation.

If a kid is doing a job or twoand the mom 3 and he's missed several days of class because the family is literally trying to keep its life afloat, can you fault that kid for not knowing how to read?

It's easy to make bold statements and declare the failing of others when you're not the one living it.

Life. can. be. hard. To a degree that nearly everyone on this forum especially cannot begin to comprehend.

Isn't it illegal for a financial institution/money transfer organization to not track your purchase history from AML(anti-money laundering) reasons alone? I would imagine just from the sheer exploitability.

Actually selling your data (as opposed to selling a derivative which is lazily conflated) they could manage to abstain from. The other party could also sell their transaction data which happens to contain you (although retailers tend to be cagey about what sells and keep their use internal they are infamously one of the things sold upon bankruptcy by their debtholder heirs).

Chapo is moving away from lemmy for now because lemmy is written in Rust, and Rust just didn't work out - there were issues with interfacing with DBs and with general maintenance as not enough people were good in rust.

The biggest reasons why lemmy proved inadqueate as a turnkey solution was insufficient moderation possibilities.

So, instead of lemmy, Chapo runs on their own fork, Hexbear.

The front end part is still mostly compatible though, so coming back to lemmy core isn't out of the question.

But if you want a quick solution to run a reddit style website, Chapo's Hexbear is probably the best.

1. I maintain there is a big distinction in language between "the kid failed" and "the kid is a failure." 2. You don't blame the system if it's one failure – you blame "the system" for this being _the median outcome_ for this school. That is way more trouble than one kid, or parent, or school, or heck probably even _school district,_ can take the blame for. That is an "all of Baltimore," or "all of Maryland" size problem, maybe even bigger.
Yes, that's how things are now. My point was that things shouldn't be that way, and I see no reason why they always had to be that way, though at the same time that's where we are and there isn't a clear path out of it.

Yet if you use all of it, its value is also zero - to every other program on the same computer. Don't be a dick; Use what you need, not all you can.
It does serve a purpose, though, it's parkland ultimately. People use their lawns to host events that might be larger than what their home could host, they are a safe area for children to play unsupervised, it's an area where you can produce food for yourself without having to spend earned income to feed yourself, livestock and pets can roam it, etc. Plus, many cities in the U.S. are park poor and the only greenspace really is what is available privately.
It's also pretty common to leave a REPL running for days or months in development.
I wasn't ignoring operating costs. I was pointing out you can't ignore capital and financing costs.
I don't think you even begin to comprehend the beginnings of an idea of the poverty that some people in the United States live in.

In Florida, my mom taught students whose homes *didn't even have floors*.
> Or, in the case of a student who doesn't apply themself or wish to continue with school they simply leave.

But other people are talking about truancy laws? You can't simply leave if you're truant and can be arrested for it?
From the article it looks like that information was delivered through a web portal. My kids' school has a similar system and unexplained absences are notified through the portal. School reports are delivered there too, though at least for that we get an email notification asking us to access the portal. Why the report cannot be attached to the email is beyond my comprehension.

Accessing that portal is a technological barrier not every parent can overcome. Judging by the extent of the problem in that particular school, it might be a common issue in the community it serves.
This is an absurd straw man. Not only have I talked to immigrants, I grew up in an immigrant neighborhood. One of my tasks this week was to write a recommendation letter for a "DREAMER" that was deported to Mexico two years ago at the age of 18, to a country that she has never lived in that speaks a language she doesn't speak. I also grew up in a single parent household that made way below poverty wages. I now have my PhD. "some of my immigrant peers went on to be a success" is not the same as saying "my immigrant peers were provided great opportunities to succeed". If you grow up in a wealthy suburb in the United States 80% of your class will go to college. If you grow up in a wealthy community, nearly 40% of your class will go to an elite university. If you grow up in a poor community, less than 40% will even attend a 2 year community college. [1]

Just because I am a success, or an immigrant is a success, doesn't mean we have created an optimal system. I'm not ignoring the achievements of anyone, I'm plainly stating "just because some people manage to survive a poorly constructed system of hierarchies and go on to be successful, doesn't mean we can't do wildly better than we are.". The US favoring anyone who has money is a plain fact, clear as day. Just because someone is successful in spite of that doesn't mean it's not true.

For every person that survived the odds with hard work and some luck, there are 5 brilliant people here who don't get that chance. People who are relegated to the lower class because the system didn't give them the opportunity to succeed, and all our lives are worse for it. These people go on to commit crimes to alleviate their socioeconomic problems, or at best generally less productive than they could be. A society should be measured by the opportunities it provides for people to remove themselves from poverty. The United States does a quantifiably miserable job at this, both through education and social welfare.

It's simple enough to look at the statistics for upward class mobility and to see that the United States is worse than ever in these regards. And we are the wealthiest country in the world. Something is wrong, and a large part of the problem is the financial, educational, and social incentives provided to the wealthy and the cyclical nature of poverty.

Many people slack off their last semester of high school. I was in the top 2% of my class when senior year started. By November, I was accepted to college early, so stopped doing much work. My final semester was the only time I ever got a C. I still ended senior year in the top 5%.
Not every school is good. Yours may have been, but the article says this:

> But in those three years, only one teacher requested a parent conference, which France says never happened. No one from the school told France her son was failing and not going to class.
Yeah, that's what I meant. Thanks. I guess if the solder joints are super-thin, there isn't much resistance. But still, it defies intuition.

One of the other weird things the MIT group working on SPARC has been experimenting with that sounds like it totally wouldn't work but apparently it does is that they don't bother to insulate between the Rebco tape windings. The superconductor is just a thin layer on top of stainless steel, and the stainless steel is a sufficiently mediocre conductor that the vast bulk of the power takes the long way around following the superconductive layer rather than taking a shortcut through the stainless steel. Apparently the insulator is less durable than the tape itself, so not having to rely on it makes for a more durable device.
A long time ago I implemented a Neocognitron. As far as I understand most deep learning models are very similar in architecture. My Neocognitron could recognize 1 and 0 (grey scale). I handcrafted the weights and hierarchy (as you do it with a normal beginner Neocognitron). When you wrote a 1 into the hole of the 0 or multiple 0s next to a 1, you could see how it weighted sometimes the 1 or the 0 higher. It's not very far fetched to add an "OR" layer that can combine patterns of 1 and 0. Yet I wouldn't call this layer multi-modal. I guess in case of CLIP due to the training method and the output alignment that this kind of OR layer simply occurs in some cases.

When I talked about OR logic I meant a simple and direct aggregation of all possible pixel soups that should be labeled in a specific way. Calling this multimodal and comparing it to the Jennifer Aniston neuron is framing the situation in a way that is not good for science (see AI winter). Especially when multimodal neurons in neuroscience refer to processing more than one sense.

I find it hard to imagine a different solution than sufficiently advanced OR logic for real abstraction within the current ANN models. That does not mean there is none within ANNs and especially not in the brain. We are far from being able to do anything like the brain does and don't know how it learns new concepts so fast - without thousands of sample images. Just because we observe an effect that reminds us of some vague findings in the brain and we call the effect the same in ANNs does not make ANNs more like brains.

BTW nice podcast that also discusses the Jennifer Aniston neuron with its "discoverer": https://soundcloud.com/neuropodcast/episode62
What IS the contribution flow for a designer, anyway? If they can't submit a PR, it seems like the best they can do is submit an issue with a mockup. Are volunteer developers likely to jump on that and implement it?

Most developers I've worked with don't exactly love going back and forth with designers on UI stuff.
"Only break the law if it’s really funny so the judge will laugh and go easy on you.”

This only works if you are white and relatively affluent looking.

Taking the example of the outdoor pooping posted before, this would get you indecent exposure charges and a trip to the sex offender registry. And you better pray that none of the cars that passed by had a minor in them.
None, it's just a poor insult.

A lot of the far left does hate America, though. Associating people that dislike America with ISIS is a really poor attempt at guilt by appropriation to avoid hard questions.
Nah, it's clear that Chris Roberts was very interested in going that direction. EA might have enabled that interest, but it's not like some of Origin's independent contemporaries weren't similarly dashing themselves on the rocks of FMV (Sierra, for one).

If EA didn't exist, it's very likely that Origin would have either been bought out by some other company or collapsed. They were in dire straits at the time of acquisition.
It’s their store. They can decide what they want to sell in their store. I bet there is a marketplace for people who like boring uninteresting and outdated children’s books. Maybe try a used book store.
> The only way to have zero is if it's some specially handled value like NaN. Which IEEE doesn't do and that's entirely understandable.

Wait what? Am I missing something? 0 is absolutely part of the IEEE 754 spec thanks to the existence of denormalized floating point numbers. So I would certainly call it a "specially handled value", in a sense. The existence of +/- 0 has more to do with the implementation of the leading sign bit.
You are missing an important part of their argument. They are saying that the teachers are heroes because they stay in a crappy job despite better options elsewhere. In other words, that they are sacrificing their happiness for the benefit of students.
I will never understand that logic where people try hard to avoid blaming parents

parents are normal people too, they sometimes suck too, just move on.
The life and death of Hangouts: A Google tragedy
The transition from Hangouts to Google Chat is now happening in earnest, with many even reporting that their group conversations have moved between the two platforms. It's just a matter of time until Hangouts itself is retired, so let's take a moment to look back at Google's most successful — and, perhaps, most ignored — messaging platform.
> The reason nuclear fission is uncompetitive is its high operating costs. The cost to build the plant is a sunk cost

This is nonsense. You can't ignore the cost of building plants, when trying to determine if a technology is competitive. Nuclear plants have to be paid for; they're not given to us free by the Nuclear Fairy. If you include capital and financing costs, you will find they contribute more to the cost of energy from the plants than do operating costs.
I find this comment extremely unhelpful.

There's a reason why everyone uses microsoft exchange, despite all its myriad of flaws, and the flaws of its major client Outlook.

And it's because it offers so much functionality, precisely because it so much more complicated.

It's like saying you can secure your house if you build a 20ft wall round it with no gate.

Sure you can, but it becomes pretty useless.
> They attribute the attack to a particular actor without providing any evidence to the public.

This statement still holds whether you replace "they" with "Brian Krebs" or "Microsoft".

Attributing blame on cyberattacks is a very difficult problem, as it's easy to cover and obfuscate your tracks. Even your tactics; using strategies and tools from other state-sponsored groups, for example.
Do people actually build large codebases with the 'hash map first' approach? It works for scripts but I always find it very difficult to follow code that transforms a bag of stuff into another bag of stuff.
That is the west coast way: non-existent enforcement of laws.
Intel has really lost it. My Ryzen 8 core CPU is easy to cool with a quiet set of fans.

Cooling this for real work will require a custom watercooling set up...and it isn't even as fast as a Ryzen 8 core CPU.
> (or using cloud mail providers)

Why? I don't see moving to a cloud solution being much better. The cloud service itself would be the single point of failure and would be just as vulnerable to a zero day. The organization would have even fewer risk mitigation options like NAT, firewalls, etc.
Exactly, and since there's no human whose job is to figure out the ontology of dev work...
Unfortunately, there are so many levels of failure here that it's hard to tell where to start.

Perhaps the worst aspect is the fraud -- promoting the student to higher classes. Failures are best realized and corrected earlier. For that, the mother has a good point.
This is a bad analogy. If you have cut nails you will also bend them (or split the wood) if you only have a hammer and no way to drill pilot holes. If your screws are thin or you have pilot holes, you’ll do fine hammering them in.

I think it’s generally better for one to write what one means rather than using stale or disjointed metaphors.
Yeah, WC3 did Hobbes dirty in a way that seriously trashed a lot of what WC2 seemed to be trying to do.
If a school is so overwhelmed that it can't do its basic legal duties, it shouldn't be news after it's gone on for at least three years. It should have worked it's way up from the administration to the local district and from there to both the local public and state authorities immediately after each body found itself unable to do what it is required to do (and there appear to be fairly black-and-white legal requirements being missed here, especially concerning handling attendance.)

“The job the taxpayers are paying me to do is hard, so i just won't do it and hope that nobody who matters notices” isn't acceptable.

A kind of nonfeasance that is all-too-common in entities serving poor and/or minority communities when they aren't actively malfeasant out of malice toward those they notionally serve, sure, but not acceptable.
who's going to pay for code site unseen and trust it works the way it supposed or even integrate it ?

Digital art, videos, etc.. make sense. Its about exclusivity and uniquness. I can write fizzbuzz, thousands of different ways and differences are minimal. Once I get a glance at how you write fizz buzz, I can copy it with minimal changes. Exclusivity of code is not worth anything.

I would not be surprised if there was a lot of sunk cost fallacy on Intel's 10nm. They couldn't make it work effectively and it was so far behind that they bled out most of their process leadership. But rather than pivot and reset they've just kept hammering away at it. Of course the decision would not be trivial to make; the lead time for a new process node is significant.
Don't hold your breath. I've found out in this thread that they've been banned in LA already for some time now. The landscapers do not care and neither does the LAPD.
Eons ago, when I attended public school K-12 exactly one student was ever held back a grade. This was in spite of teachers constantly threatening recalcitrant kids with holding them back. The kids knew it was an empty threat and ignored it. The teachers passed them to get rid of them.

It wasn't just one school, either. My dad being in the Air Force, we moved around a lot. The schools were the same everywhere.
GDPR, as a side effect, entitles users to get a copy or their data after a ban, as long as the service has not already deleted the data.
can the situation be thought of as "Intel has problems with porting all their 14nm tweaks to 10nm" and therefore is it reasonable to expect Intel on 10nm nodes to pick up all the similar node advantages over again?
Even if those were available, if their situation was good at the time before it went to shit, access to that stuff won’t help. Because the kid already exists. You can’t contraceptive your way out of a toddler.
