> The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false, and teaching it is even much less so. Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuate objectivity [sic] as well as fear of open conflict [sic].

Very curious what the thought process is here. Objectivity seems like an incredibly useful concept.

Edit: I thought this was just Brietbart beign Brietbart but these quotes are real and pulled directly from the https://equitablemath.org/ website. For example:

> White supremacy culture infiltrates math classrooms in everyday teacher actions. Coupled with the beliefs that underlie
these actions, they perpetuate educational harm on Black, Latinx, and multilingual students, denying them full access to
the world of mathematics.

How does this explain the high performance of asian students? Were other factors investigated?

I'm really surprised projects like this get funded.
I would be surprised and perhaps a little disappointed if any professional investors think of E log X optimisation as the latter.

My parents often worked 70+ hour weeks just to keep a roof over my head. If they tried to find the time to restrict content from me in the manner you suggest, I may have never become a developer. Every situation is different, so I don't think you should assume your solution is one size fits all.
> > How is Apple allowed to disallow any other web browsers on their mobile devices? We already went through this with Microsoft in the past but suddenly it's different?

> The same reason you can’t put software you want on a Xbox/PlayStation/Switch.

The iPhone is a general purpose computer, not a gaming toy. You do finances, email, chat, dating, games, spreadsheets, GPS navigation, photos, video - your entire life, all one one device.

For half of Americans, this is the only computer they own.

For half of Americans, Apple controls what software you can use, and it extorts a 30% cut.

That's mafia behavior.

Gamers can choose between Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, PC, Steam, Epic, and dozens of other platforms. There's lots of choice, and this is just one industry with a very narrow impact on consumers' lives.

Mobile computer (aka smartphone) users get to choose between Apple and Android for the entirety of everything they do, and both of these companies try to butt into everything. They even want to control banking and payments.

The App Stores aren't given to us benevolently out of the good will of a loving Apple and Google. They're means of exerting control and extracting profit in a monopolistic fashion. They both need to die.
Research focus in US and EU seems a bit different.

Europe produces a lot of high quality science. Research in US is on the other hand increasingly application-focused (something that EU is not very good at).

This is my observation as a former researcher who has experience in both regions; I don’t have references. It’s partly driven by culture, and economic system. The strong public system in Europe supports longer term research, whereas the strong private sector in US focuses on applications and commercialization. It wasn’t not like that in US few decades ago.
When things are volatile but are on a strong upswing, I'd recommend buying in using DCA and keep adjusting stops at whatever level you're comfortable with (I use 90% for crypto atm.). You're right it's gonna burst - every free market does Eventually. But when does it burst? Will it burst before cash? Before stocks? Before gold? Before bonds? Who knows. So I just put 20-30% in each, put in stops, and sleep calmly through it.
You could take it all to Vegas and put it on 00 on a roulette wheel. You'd win something like 36x your investment, so 3600% returns. Of course, you're much more likely to lose it all.

Yes, some people made a bundle on GME. Others didn't. If you try GME-style tactics to make a fortune, you're much more likely to lose your shirt, because it works only rarely.

The GME situation had a lot of publicity about people making all this money. (Come to think of it, so does Vegas.) But despite the publicity, it's rare. So the options that you have are, do you want to put your money into something boring like index funds so that you have something at 65, or do you want to have nothing at 65 because you foolishly chased mirages that almost never pan out (and didn't for you)?

That's always been the world. "Sucker born every minute", and all that. It was the world your grandparents lived in, and you live in, and your kids will live in. The difference is that the internet lets you read about people who beat the odds, and therefore makes it look more likely that you can beat them too.
Netflix's Cinematch Algorithm
... Why?
The biggest news IMO is that there's only a single winner. There was a lot of pressure to make Commercial Crew a sole contact to Boeing, and it now appears that Boeing is going to deliver Starliner two years later than SpaceX delivered Crew Dragon. So going with two winners saved NASA's bacon. It's surprising to see them only choose a single winner here. Yes SpaceX may be considered a safe bet, but ten years ago it was Boeing who was considered the safe bet. Things change over years.
> It isn't expensive... it doesn't exist.

It's the same thing, but I get what you mean. By expensive, I mean too expensive to get to invest in building it, not as in expensive to buy off-the-shelf.

> which should at the least put them up online for free in the public domain, sans the restrictions the article talks about.

The article says: "Some of the oral narratives in the A.P.S. archive, for example, are meant to be shared only by women, or only in winter, or only by elders."

Putting the materials up online without restrictions might actually upset the Indigenous community.

This is part of why a lot of archives are restricted access – there can be material in them which could be confidential, private, offensive, defamatory, restricted by third party copyrights (e.g. papers or books authored by others with marginal notes added by the scholar), etc. Restricting access to bona fide researchers, you can trust scholars to exercise some professional discretion in dealing with the material. Just dumping it all on the general public isn't doing that.

To properly put material like this online, you need someone to digitise it. This involves scanning, quality control (going back and checking the documents are actually scanned correctly), cataloguing the documents (often archives just catalogue the boxes, not the individual documents in each box). Then you need someone qualified to review each document to see if there is any reason why it can't be released – in this case, that would involve consulting the Indigenous community about how they feel about releasing documents which may describe some of their traditional cultural secrets. All this takes a lot of time and money. Consider the archives of APS have not just this scholar's papers, but those of many others, putting all their archives online would likely cost many millions. (If you have a spare few million to donate to them for this, I'm sure they'd be happy to hear from you.)

I'm happy to block/ban internet usage for my kids, can we presume you happy for those in power to legislate that no school can set kids any homework that requires the internet/youtube to complete?
Citation needed? Never heard or noticed any bias like this before.
It seems unlikely. The lunar gateway is a cornerpiece of the international collaboration at the moon.
I also expected the competition between two (or more) contactors to be the choice, but with BO just now approaching human test flights, I can understand why they selected SpaceX to move forward if they could only fund one system.
SpaceX's lunar proposal uses Starship, not Dragon.
I think it’s more a difference in what people think the term “Kelly criterion” means, which is somewhat fair. The concept of optimizing for geometric mean came before Kelly, as well as the math showing that optimizing for log utility is a way to do that.
It sounds like you're engaging in an appeal to nature fallacy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature
For (3) it isn't required to have a moat. Market dumping is sufficient. Nobody is going to compete with a firm that's selling below cost, as Uber/Lyft are doing. But, I've used non-Uber/Lyft taxi apps that were perfectly competent. It's not that hard to build such an app, especially if you 'just' want to sell taxi rides in local jurisdictions instead of any conceivable moving service in every possible geography. If/when they stop burning money, only then we'll find out what kind of moat they have.
It sounds great, but I like instant results, can you write out after each round how much Kelly put up and has?
Lots of money and power at stake in keeping people angry and divided.

It can be doable if you deliberately select jobs that can demonstrate research aptitude as a way of getting into a PhD program. In my case, it’s also awfully helpful if you have an employer willing to foot the bill, as it means you won’t have to scrap and compete for limited funding positions.

I’m pretty active on Instagram and I don’t do any specific “tailoring” of my feed. I see about 80% fine art, 15% friends posting about their lives, and 5% semi-famous people I chose to follow.

I don’t know what I’m doing right there other than heart-ing stuff I like and only following what interests me.

I’m sure Zuck will destroy it eventually but for now, Insta is the anti-Facebook for me and a source of much positivity.

Maybe do less tailoring? I hope it can be useful for you too.
The claims are baseless, just look at this claim:

"This case also showed that complaints are increasingly made by people who didn’t watch the programmes"

How can they substantiate this? As per usual on the guardian it's all waffling political nonsense.

Microsoft is building better support for PWAs into Windows. Linux is still a mixed bag, as it will depend on your DE / toolkit (lest all users be expected to install a Chrome variant). Apple will probably continue to lag behind since they will cut into app store revenue.

I wish PWAs were better supported everywhere, but we're not there yet and one of the holdouts could be quite the doozy to topple.

And that's without taking into consideration the things are are possible right now with Electron that still need broader support WRT web standards (serial, bluetooth, filesystem access).

I don't think they are planning to use Dragon capsules for Moon landings. They want to use their new Starship and probably equip it with some extra rocket engines near the top of the spacecraft so when landing it won't kick up dust and rocks into Moon orbit and beyond (yes, that would happen with the rocket engines at the bottom because Starship is so big!)

Flare Programming Language
Well designed buildings for passive cooling/heating in the higher latitudes can also take advantage of wide eaves. Since the sun is lower in the sky during winter you can design a home with eaves that block the summer midday intensity but allow sunlight to flood in throughout the winter with some careful calculations and site placement. Houses built to suit their location can slash the amount of energy required to regulate the temperature.
As a Safari Web Extension, this app is actually intended for use alongside the ole' faithful web version of HN. I found myself in the same boat as yourself - trying other HN clients, but always coming back to the web version. But DAMN! the lack of dark mode kills... so I built this small CSS injector plugin to help :)

Speaking of which... I found a few minor adjustments that still need to be done w/ regards to the CSS rules (for example, reply links are still dark text in dark mode; oops).

> the lazy-parents kids let them do whatever they want

One of the kids in our 11-year-old's class lost it in the class WhatsApp group last week, hurled any and all terms of abuse you can think of. So our 11-year-old left the group as did many of his friends, and that got reported to the school.

Who thinks an 11 year old can understand that saying stuff online could potentially destroy your career several decades hence if someone made a screenshot?

I'd happily enforce a minimum age 18 for use of social media.
> Do they just show me this stuff because I'm a man?

I'd say yes. I made a fake Facebook account so I could participate in my locale's groups without being doxxed, as I've witnessed a single mother get doxxed by the mayor for disagreeing with his policy. I get shown racy posts and friend suggestions based on the fake demographics I set on the account.
What kind of society do you want to live in? One where children’s attention can be exploited at the whim of corporations because they happen to have parents that aren’t vigilant enough? Shouldn’t society in the form of it’s government look out for the best interests of its most vulnerable citizens? There are lots of parents who suck and aren’t ready/able to take responsibility as you put it. Shouldn’t we as a whole at least makes some effort to look out for those children born to irresponsible parents?
At least in Germany a lot of research isn't being done at universities but at dedicated research institutes. Quite a few PhD students are working part time at uni and part time at one of the Fraunhofer Institutes or at Forschungszentrum Jülich. Another European example is CERN in Switzerland.

This model just doesn't conform with all those research university rankings.
Just because tesla has some good tech and people like their cars doesn't mean you have to love Elon. He's kind of an over-entitled asshole and he pushed to open his factory in california way way too fast during covid. I wonder how many people got covid from that, did any die?

I salute his engineering and business accomplishments, but I bet it's hell to work for or with him. And sure, he vastly overpromises schedules and technical achievements. Yet his army of engineers and workers achieve a lot. He's the living embodiment of overpromising 1 year out and under-promising things for 10 years out. Who could have imagined it would work out this well for Tesla. He turned the whole car industry around (or legacy automakers at least see the future now).
Did we read the same article? Because the article I read didn't call anybody stupid, and mentioned that they're getting complaints from people on the other side of the issue the issue as well. The title doesn't really fit the story, which is that the people handling BBC complaints are seeing a microcosm of the polarization gripping society at large.
Your kids maybe too young to have experienced it, but at some age social media takes over. Even if you put your foot down and don't let your kid have an account or a phone, their friends will post photos of them and tease them. And kids can be really cruel.

Given Facebook has a monopoly in social networks, it's entirely reasonable to hold them to a higher standard and question the impact of new products which use their monopoly power to launch.

In a modern pre-emptive multitasking operating system, the kernel needs to be able to stop what your user task was doing, do its own thing for a while or even run a different task entirely - and then put everything back apparently as it was and allow your task to carry on. The CPU affords this capability by providing a way to bottle up all its internal state, store that somewhere, and then put it back later.

Operating system kernels don't generally need floating point math (some of them use it anyway, lots don't).

So if your CPU has a way to say "Bottle your state, but er, don't worry about the floating point stuff" and it's faster, or uses less memory, or both, which are common, all the kernels (like Linux) which do not use floating point know they aren't touching that anyway and needn't bottle it up. This is potentially an important performance win.

If you try to take this performance win, but then you actually do use floating point in the kernel, the world suddenly changes beneath the feet of user tasks. A program is adding up some floating point numbers, and then, huh, suddenly the total is now negative? Wait, now it's zero? Nope, negative again? What's happening! If the program was aware of being interrupted this makes sense, but the whole point of pre-emptive multi-tasking is not to need to custom design every program to be interrupted everywhere.

So Linux (mostly) never uses floating point.
worst thing is, my university seemingly developed something similar (which has been used for exams for half a year now) already: https://qroniton.eu/

But I guess kickbacks for using something created by state employees are not as good as for something new from a private enterprise (with blockchain! - they silently removed it, when the CCC called that out and now the CEO claims: "we've never used blockchain").
My understanding is that the Starship program is fully-funded already; the NASA cash is just the cherry on top for SpaceX. Which is why their bid was so low compared with the others.

Congress didn't give NASA the funding it originally wanted for Artemis, which is probably the reason why they went with only one provider.

you think serially ejaculating in front of people without consent is mild? are you serious?

Ah, I didn't understand that this wasn't an iOS app. Now I get it! So this is just for desktop Safari?

I think there are general-purpose dark mode extensions for Chrome/Firefox that are pretty popular, but it's quite possible that they don't handle all the unique bits of HN (collapse triangles, etc.)

I'm glad to hear there's still solid support for Jetbrains.

I prefer to use the IDEA plugins over the separate IDEs, but for reference I use:

- Android Studio (Used to be daily, now rarely)

- AppCode (Used to be daily, now rarely)

- CLion (Rarely)

- GoLand (Rarely)

- IntelliJ IDEA (Daily)

- Docker (Rarely - daily outside IntelliJ)

- Git (Daily)

- Go (Rarely)

- JS/TypeScript/Node (Daily)

- Kotlin (Often)

- Python (Daily at the moment - typically rarely)

- Ruby (Often at the moment - typically daily)

- Markdown (Daily)

- Rider (Daily)

- Perforce (Often)

- Unity Plugin (Often)

There's lots of other non-language plugins, but I've singled out Markdown as it seems to be responsible for a lot of rendering issues. Pane goes blank, dismiss it and you're left with a white rectangle obscuring everything until you restart IntelliJ.

Also use the occasional third-party plugin (e.g. my own), but Jetbrains obviously can't be held responsible for those!

If it's at all relevant, I'm on macOS. I use most of these IDEs on Windows occasionally as well, but not enough to comment on their stability.

Probably worth clarifying, I like Jetbrains IDEs. Just less so of late.
I think it should simply be two parts:
1). A list of what steps were taken
2). What conclusions can be drawn from it

Instead we get something that combines both so it is hard to tell where researchers beliefs come into play.
Where did the dream of using technology to free people from 9-to-5 jobs go?
The article makes the claim that these are examples of white supremacy in math:

*The focus is on getting the “right” answer.

*Independent practice is valued over teamwork or collaboration.

*“Real-world math” is valued over math in the real world.

*Students are tracked (into courses/pathways and within the classroom).

*Participation structures reinforce dominant ways of being.

Can someone enlighten me here? I always thought of math as the great equalizer.
