> do you know any schools that teach it

I think one of the article's premises is that they don't exist in our culture. That said, from what I've seen, this author's ideas seem to connect up well with the Brights group: http://www.the-brights.net/vision/essays/dennett_nyt_article... Those people do work in this vein and have published books. (I'm not sure how active that group is; I include it only as a pointer to dig up authors.)
It doesn't feel like that long ago (granted, it was the best part of twenty years...) that my Mac laptop had a lever underneath which popped the HDD clean out. That was a lovely design.

i have literally never been asked for a password by apple when I had issues. I unlocked my phone myself when they needed to look at something and they looked at it only while I was present. If they needed to take the phone “in the back” I made sure it was locked (this was for a screen replacement) or I simply wiped it when it had an issue that needed replacement.
I guess the question you should be asking, how much capital are you trying to generate and how much risk are you willing to take?

You talk about a 5 year timeline, do you want a nice 5% return annually for 5 years? End up with 25k. Then you're looking at safer investments into index funds or maybe even high yield bonds.

Do you want it to be 100k or a mil? Then you're looking at trying to pick horses in investments. What will give you 5x return in 5 years, probably picking a single or handful of assets that could see major return. Could be stocks or something crypto. You could certainly yolo it wallstreetbets style and buy GME/AMC/whatever you think is the next meme stock that will pop. Could potentially get that return tomorrow, especially if you bought options and get lucky. I sold a covered call last month, whomever bought it could have potentially made 66x in 2 weeks. Had that been you and your risk tolerance is insanely high, you could have been a millionaire from that 20k (yes, I sold a AMC call, covered of course).
Which is also quite absurd considering how much hassle it is to restore your backup once it's shipped back. (sure it's still much better than giving repair shop access to your hd).

Google Proposes Efficient and Modular Implicit Differentiation
I wonder how many more people would be happy to be back in the office if they didn‘t have to sit in a maddening open space, and had a more private office setup.
Well, the alternative point of view is to see that when you have an infinite number of tests, you can't run them all, and need to sample them.

(Saving the seeds to the corpus still leaves your tests independent and stateless. You are just sampling from your space of all possible tests a bit more intelligently in future.)

> Also what does "bloated election app" mean?

It means (1) high memory usage (although people are ridiculously oversensitive about this relative to CPU use) (2) long startup times (3) high ambient CPU usage and (4) a high-latency interface (on average machines - anything is snappy on a brand-new $1k M1 Macbook Air).

> and it's very responsive

On what CPU? Will it still be responsive on a 8-year-old Core i5 on one of my Thinkpads?
I don't know how the idea that people are replaceable got so popular. Yeah, I know why some people tried to make it so, but it's so blatantly false that I don't understand how those people were successful.

Anyway, nobody ever simply gets replaced. When you change the people, things change. Some times it's a disaster, other times it's an improvement, but the result is never exactly like the beginning.
Yeah, I get that. But also, there is no end in the claim of how hard the Range Rover driving, fee (private) school paying, huge farm house owning farmers in the UK have it.

The vitriol that was extended by a couple of the associates (middle managers) to one of my programmers who was vegan was absolutely amazing. He just would ask if there was any dairy in something a they would go off on him. Around that time I also stopped having dairy for health reasons, but that was okay. I had previously been sympathetic to farmers and the dairy community, but after that, I was appalled. Farmers are getting what they deserve.
> There are tests for rails controllers

I only found one:

https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet/blob/develop/test/control...

The others appear to be empty scaffolds (which imnho is worse than no tests, really), eg:

https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet/blob/develop/test/control...

require "test_helper"

class FoldersControllerTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
# test "the truth" do
# assert true
# end
end

Same for empty model tests etc - I'd strongly encourage removing them - as they just add noise.

Btw, if not doing tdd, time is probably better spent on integration tests than controller/model tests. Main challenge I've found with rails projects that were put in use with no tests, is there's a big effort to set up test data/fixtures from scratch. One option can sometimes be to just set up a test database with real data (database dump as a fixture).

> and I have recently setup Cypress for component testing

That's nice, and probably a good focus for a project like this.

I don't know what social mobility is. But having France in that number where they have a persistent unemployment number that is double that of the US, and where the entrenched interests have held on to their wealth for centuries, is very strange.

What I do know is income mobility since that's a hard number, and hard to manufacture.

And in that respect, citizens of the US are far better than the rest of the world.

Expanding your OpenNebula multi-cloud with resources from Google Cloud
It's a heuristics quirk. It starts with "unknown unknowns" - the things you aren't even aware that you should be concerned about. Then add in a relationship where someone is trying to fix something for you. If you've never been trained to refuse information from someone who's seemingly trying to help you, it would never occur to you.

When you go to the doctor and they prescribe you pills, most people don't question it and just take them. And that leads to a lot of people taking antibiotics that they don't need. Or when you move and need to sign up for internet, phone service, power, water, electricity, gas, etc.... almost all of them will ask for your social security number. Even I don't know when it's mandatory and when it's optional, so usually I ask them first, but sometimes I don't.

The last time I witnessed this was some malware that infected an ex-roommate's laptop. The malware pretended to be an anti-virus and said she had a virus on her computer that it would fix. But first she needed to pay for the software - by putting in her credit card info & social security number. She complied because the files on her laptop were very sensitive and she didn't want lose them, and she had no idea that there was no reason to ask for a social to pay for this software.

We could probably do more as a community to educate people on keeping sensitive information secure. Part of it involves media outreach, as most people seem to get their news from the TV or Facebook.
Yeah, honestly, I'm not sure why one couldn't run an external technician boot image, do minor checking for on-board drive health in an unused area, and never touch the customer data. Though sometimes I understand that the entire main board gets swapped. That would shorten the repair timeline, and the malfunctioning board can be assessed and repaired or disposed of on some other timeline.
I would speculate that, on the whole, they’re probably comparable in terms of outcome, the old system was designed for mediocre outcomes whereas the current one is due to negligence. But could be wrong, our former white public schools now serve everyone and presumably are better than the Bantu education schools that black people were previously limited to. These schools are of course the minority.
>They were seeing and tracking levitating and maneuvering swarms of ice tic tacs for month visually and on radar.

That's not what he said on Lex Fridman podcast. It was more like days. But that is according to the radar which was created by his buddy who could have been trolling him knowing he was going to be in the area.

>3 is false. It clearly went nose toward him, then started matching his spiral down with a spiral up.

I think the nose and the spiral are details you added. I think it "came up" in the same sense that someone might say "the ground came up to meet me" when they describe the perception they might have when landing with a parachute or when diving steeply in an airplane. Not necessarily that it was flying upward.

His perception may very well have been that it was flying upward. But again, he has zero experience with whatever this was, and his brain is used to seeing flying, powered, maneuvering objects, so his brain is fitting the data it sees to that preconceived experience, and not thinking about a falling slab of ice. So in this way his experience was actually working against him understanding what he was seeing.

>1 is false. It didn't disintegrate at ocean surface, it vanished after spiraling up toward him and jamming radar.

I never said it was at the surface though. Yes it vanished, we all agree on that. Can't speak to the jamming but I don't recall him mentioning that. In any case it could have been his radar buddy trolling him, I don't see any reason not to keep that possibility in play.

>Then reappeared later at the designated rendezvous point.

His good buddy who went to his wedding was trolling him. Or the radar operator was in on it and also trolling him.

>There are videos released from Navy aviators recorded using cell phones.

There was a series of incidents last summer (2020) with supposedly 3 days of drone sightings.

Not one video. (If you disagree, please provide links.)

They even anticipated more sightings on day 3 and intentionally, deliberately, with planning, brought in a camera crew with, inexplicably, a single camera apparently and what did they film? They pointed the camera down onto the radar screen while they claim the things were buzzing the ships outside. The resulting footage is so fuzzy you can't even make out the text on the radar screen.

While this was going on for three nights, we are to believe that not one single navy person walked outside on the deck or looked through a porthole and took even one single video of the drones that were swarming the ship… or, if they did, their discipline is so good that none of the videos have ever been posted.

Color me skeptical.
Except all the world’s work that actually needs to be done can probably be done in less than four hours per person per week. People were perfectly happy, maybe more so, when 90% of humans were farming, and now it’s less than 1%.

I might actually try this! I have a disabling genetic disorder (hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) for which the genes responsible haven't yet been identified, but there are a few dozen genes of interest. Since the diagnosis is clinical, my geneticist didn't order testing for me, so I've stayed curious.

I'd probably approach it by ordering primers for my regions of interest, doing PCR to amplify them, then running it through the flongle in a single shot.

Of course anything this DIY would be useless for diagnosis or research - you want Sanger sequencing for accurate transcription of each gene, and whole-genome sequencing for identifying candidate mutations - but it's enough motivation to try such a fun little project. Also I can potentially play along at home with the results of the HEDGE study, which is trying to find the cause of hEDS.

Out of the big 3 (with edge being basically chrome at this point), safari is waaay behind firefox and chrome in terms of number of implemented standards and they still have plenty of market share — as if market share would at most correlate slightly with technical merit.

>All cases I've seen were justified self-defense

Again, you're making subjective determinations based on a small input and declaring that anybody with another opinion is lying. You can make the argument that a given incident was justified or not, but it doesn't follow that desire for change is founded on lies. There is a gigantic wealth of input on this topic, and individual videos of police violence, even if you somehow think every single instance is justified, is still only one part of the picture, first-hand experience and data analysis being just two major examples of other input. I'm not saying this other input proves anything - just, again, that it is unreasonable to assert that the entirety, or even the majority, of the desire for change is based on lies.
Thats been my experience too. Every time a topic like this comes up, people want to debate why its not lacking a paper trail and how people can theoretically get caught and when you disagree they want a break down of how, which is equally absurd to write anywhere.

I feel like everyone thinks they are entitled to being able to google something as evidence of its occurrence and don’t realize that the absence of evidence isn't the evidence of absence.
I don't think the blame falls on practicing radiologists, but the OP is absolutely correct that medical data is way too inaccessible. It is often impossible to get your own raw data, and even worse it is sometimes impossible to share that data with another doctor. Two large hospitals in major US cities apparently can't share EEG data because they use different software to read it. Guess who wins when all your prior data gets essentially thrown out? It's not the insurance companies, and it's certainly not you - it's the new hospital.

How realistic it is to have ML involved in reading radiology results in theory I don't know, but the larger point is that in practice it is sure as hell not going to happen until patients have real access to do what they please with their own data. Not only am I pissed I can't have my own EEG data, but I also would gladly contribute it to a database for development of new tools, or any other research study that asked. But there is essentially no way to even do that, at least at either institution I've asked. Just think of all the data that is being utterly wasted right now!
It's trivial to restore from a Time Machine backup (it wouldn't be much use if it wasn't).
This is neat. Thanks for sharing.

Another great tool for working with csv files on the command line is the excellent VisiData - https://www.visidata.org/

It lets you explore/browse/search all your csv/json/etc files super quickly and easily in an interactive command line tool, sort of like the old Norton Commander.
The major difference is seemingly that one is a database installation and the other is just a command line tool. What if I don’t have a Postgres DB, but I have some tabular data in a csv I want to query? Should I set up a database to query a file?

I’m not sure why I would set up a database to run a query on a file when I can do it from the command line.
>> seismic interpretation here

Strong disagree here. Lets put aside the math and focus on money.

I dont know much about seismic interpretation, but I know a lot about Radiology+CV/ML. I was CTO+CoFounder for three years full time of a venture-backed Radiology+CV/ML startup.

From what I can see, there is a huge conflict of interest w/r/t Radiology (and presumably any medical field) in the US. Radiologists make a lot of money -- and given their jobs are not tied to high CoL regions (as coders jobs are), they make even more on a CoL-adjust basis. Automating these jobs is the equivalent of killing the golden goose.

Further, Radiologists standards of practice are driven partly by their board (The American Board of Radiology) and the supply of labor is also controlled by them (The American Board of Radiology) by way of limited residency spots to train new radiologists.

So Radiologists (or any medical specialist) can essentially control the supply of labor, and control the standards of best practice, essentially allowing continued high salaries by way of artificial scarcity. WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY WANT THEIR WORK AUTOMATED AWAY?

My experience during my startup was lots of radiologists mildly interested in CV/ML/AI, interested in lots of discussions, interested in paid advisory roles, interested in paid CMO figurehead-positions, but mostly dragging their feet and hindering real progress, presumably because of the threat it posed. Every action item was hindered by a variety of players in the ecosystem.

In fact, most of our R&D and testing was done overseas in a more friendly single payer system. I dont see how the US's fee-for-service model for Radiology is ever compatible with real progress to drive down costs or drive up volume/value.

Not surprisingly, we made a decision to mostly move on. You can see Enlitic (a competitor) didnt do well either despite the star-studded executive team. Another competitor (to be unnamed) appears to have shifted from models to just licensing data. Same for IBM/Merge.

Going back to seismic interpretation -- this cant be compared to Radiology from a follow-the-money perspective because seismic interpretation isnt effectively a cartel.

Happy to speak offline if anyone is curious about specific experiences. DM me.
That analogy doesn't really work here, because then anyone who's walking past could steal the valuables in your car.

Consider that you had to send your car in for repairs to the company that produced your car, and you placed some valuables in your (locked) glove compartment. They then steal all of your valuables.

The car company (or their trained engineers) should never have to entered the glove compartment at all. The fact of the matter is that you left your valuables in your car with a trusted third party, and that trust was abused and your valuables were stolen.

The issue isn't that someone stole your stuff, it's that you trusted the company that built your car to not go snooping around and stealing your stuff.

Trusting a third party is not "careless or "reckless" behaviour, the onus is on the company to behave responsibly with your personal items/data.

EDIT: I took a look at the original article from the Telegraph[0], and it seems like the perpetrators were an Apple contractor called "Pegatron". While this isn't as bad as a BMW employee stealing stuff from a locked compartment in your BMW car, it still isn't great.

If this contractor was officially allowed to perform repairs (which it seems like they were, as Apple paid the lawsuit), then they should be held to the same standards as Apple employees when it comes to data privacy.

Ask HN: As a coding teacher in middle / high school, which tools are you using?
And also: which tools (or abilities) are you lacking for a better teaching (and learning) experience ?
I would suggest avoiding some sort of self-inflicted trauma from this horrible past (which might not be happening but it reads like that to me).

There is no point getting depressed from one's ancestors past - if one looks in the past far enough, there will be probably something utterly horrible that given nation/tribe/group did to somebody innocent. Basically all western european democracies fall into this category, and many, many other nations too.

Don't forget about it by any means, tech your kids as I will do, but don't put emotions into this just because your nation was the culprit. There were similar things happening to innocent civilians en masse in the past elsewhere. Genocides are not an invention of Germany or 20th century, life was often pretty horrible and violent in the past.
