Nice usual GMO propanganda, but no.
Look at the social impact of GMOs in India (suicide), the environmental impact overall which is quite negative.
GMOs itself might be safe for consumption, but the amount of pesticide required for those stupid roundup ready crops is definitely not.
World nutrition? Nature already provides all the elements for it, GMOs won't solve wealth distribution problems.

My experience in my home country of Romania was similar to yours, however my conclusions couldn't be more different.

> American schools are too soft on science in general. [...]The Albanian school was brutal in teaching science

How on earth is brutality in teaching a good idea? What was the effect of this approach on the average Albanian or Romanian student? Sure it worked fine for a few of us, but overall the results are disastrous, just take a look at the PISA rankings.

Have you ever wondered how it's possible that the same "stupid" Americans that don't learn integrals and group theory in highschool somehow manage just fine in university and later on in life?
I think it's especially hard when there was a process in place that was all about showing the new hires all about company philosophy and values and meeting face to face with all the departments for example. I mean, that's still relevant and still important but not on the remote scenario imho, especially not when it's spread out over 2 weeks for instance... If the focus shifts for "actionable onboarding" like: this is our process, here's your "onboarding ticket" to get a feel for the codebase, the Readme docs are at the top level, let's keep in sync when you need, lmk!
I feel this philosophy would be better for the remote way of working.
Kolmogorov - Fomin: Introductory Real Analysis. Not for school kids though.
There's an XKCD blog (?) that explains space launches in an intuitive way, with pictures:

https://what-if.xkcd.com/58/

Getting space isn't about getting "really high" (although of course you need to do that too). It's more about going "really fast" (relative to the ground). Like wantoncl mentioned, most of the fuel getting into orbit is spent on building that speed along the ground, not the height into the sky.

Think of it this way: space is only 100km away. ("If you're in Sacramento, Seattle, Canberra, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Phnom Penh, Cairo, Beijing, central Japan, central Sri Lanka, or Portland, space is closer than the sea.") You can drive that distance in a car in a moderately short time. The challenge is getting to the speed to stay in space and not fall back to earth.

Leaving Earth orbit for other astronomical bodies is another very interesting problem entirely. If you'd like to learn more about this, I'd encourage you to explore the video game Kerbal Space Program which has very accurate orbital mechanics.
This is apologetic nonsense. China is a nation with nuclear armament and a population 1.4 billion. Nobody can realistically attack and control them, let alone their direct neighbors.

What China does is what CCP wants: to stay in power.

There are two conflicting interests:

a. The owner wants to find stolen or lost things

b. Nobody wants to be tagged (privacy, being stalked, &c)

If people being stalked are allowed to discover Airtags, thiefs also can discover them. A conundrum.

Additionally, what about Deaf people being stalked? They can't hear the Airtags. This is an example where they are discriminated by technology.
I had gotten up to 1000 a few times. Just never getting back to things to close them, mostly.

It turned have to have huge performance impact, so I don't do it anymore. I got out of the habit a few years ago. I think since then, browser went to lazy loading of tabs on restart.

If you think your system is running slow, cut the number of tabs to under 100, and try again. You may see a huge jump in performance.

The one thing that helped me break the habit of not closing tabs was just installing a tab counter extension. Now, if I see it creeping up towards 100, I know it's time to clean house.

Beyond the fact that electricity-generation is once again only part of our emissions issue, there's about ~450 reactors worldwide and the uranium ore reserves give us around ~120 years of operation on current 3rd (/3+) gen reactors (short of having fast neutron reactors basically). Having 1000 in the US (or rather 900 more or 3 times as many globally) would have brought that deadline closer by the inverse ratio, and we'd likely already have tensions on nuclear fuel sourcing.
Agree with you on the role of government spending though, but there also needs to be a radical paradigm shift in how we view the economy and what needs to happen in each sector (not just within energy in fact).
>That said, I think people should be able to consume energy however they choose, even drivers of "monstrous pickup trucks".

Without concern for the externalities?
> I don't understand why there would be opposition to storage of carbon?

The biggest reason is that most of the time "we're gonna store carbon" is just smoke and mirrors and in practice never happens. It's the biggest excuse for fossil fuel companies to continue business as usual while promising some solution in the future that never comes.

But there's also practical risks, there have been leaks from carbon capture sites in the past if they aren't handled properly, see e.g.:

It's not using clone but memset. Of course memsetting memory to 0 when the operating system already set it to 0 is still silly and something that could be further optimized, but it's not cloning things.
I felt like this book was incredibly clever, but at times it felt like the pacing was infuriatingly slow. Especially near the start, it feels like there are too many chapters of world building per chapter of story.

This is the video by the daughter of the founder of the Russian School of Math. We sent our son there over the summer, he enjoyed it and all the kids were pretty advanced in the class. California seems to want to hold everyone back in the name of equity. But that will force more people into the private school system, which is exactly what we did. I don’t trust the California government to have my children’s best interest at heart, I think they want to hamstring them in the name of equity.

T.b.h. as somebody from ost-block country, I did hate the cast-system based on the performance. In my school we had a class that selected for the worst students, and surprise, it created a class where so many people failed.

I was in class that had an even mix, some really smart kids, some not so much, and some comparable to the worst of the D-class. Like third of the of my classmates went for the sports-focused high-school, because they were decent at basketball and bad at almost everything else. But nobody was failing.

Like, A-class should have been the top students, B and C middling, and D poor. In reality, A was ordinary, B and C contained the best and the average and D was a failure.

Take New York City (which I'm familiar with, but it's likely the story is similar in many other places):

- each public school has the same budget per student. There is no "reduced education funding" for schools in district X vs district Y, or for any school, because the budget per student is equal. Each school's budget is public, and published on the web.

- favoring religious teaching: at least at the school my kids go to there's absolutely no religious teaching. I suspect this is the case for all the public schools in NYC

- nuanced policy difficulties? Not sure what you mean by this

Ok, now to answer your original question: why the fault of progressive left. As you see I skipped the word "extreme", as this is a loaded word; people who vote that way certainly do not perceive themselves as extreme.

At the recent mayoral primaries, the top candidates were the moderates Eric Adams and Kathryn Garcia (1st and 2nd place), and the progressive Maya Wiley (3rd place). As far as the education was concerned, the hot topic was the selective "specialized high schools" [1], where the admission is test-based, according to a state law passed about 50 years ago. The current mayor (Bill de Blasio, progressive) has worked tirelessly for the last 4 years or so to lobby the State legislature to get the law repealed. The progressive candidate, Maya Wiley, promised to work towards the same goal. Here's the relevant extract from her platform [2]

>> To remove barriers that separate and label children, we will: [...] Eliminate discriminatory admissions “screens.”

In other words, kill the specialized high schools program.

Eric Adams (the winner, moderate) promised to keep the program as it currently is.

In case you wonder what the admission entrance exam is like, it's just two separate tests, one for ELA and one for math. Both tests are fairly challenging. The progressives think that these tests (and especially the math one) are discriminatory in nature.

Here's a sample math question [3, p.78] "In Centerville, 45% of the population is female, and 60% of the population commutes to work daily. Of the total Centerville population, 21% are females who commute to work daily. What percentage of the total Centerville population are males who do not commute to work daily?"

1. You are conflating the sense in which humans may arrive at a mistaken propositional model based on mistaking context; with one where the machine lacks any sense of contextual relevance to arrive at any specific propositional model.

This tactic is taken in these "replies" often: humans fail for semantic reason A; machines fail for non-semantic reason B; isnt A just B? No.

2. Or you've misunderstood how humans learn.

Though on the face of it the sketch of the proof its correct: there are an infinite number of target models (T) which compress to representation R. Eg., an infinite number of 3D geometries which can produce a given 2D photograph.

Compression (ie., "low-rank" interpolation through data) yields a function from R-space datasets (eg., 2D photos) to a model R which "covers" that space.

It does not yield a function from R->T, which doesn't exist as a formal matter. You, at least, need to add information. This is what many misunderstand: light itself is ambigious and does not "contain" sufficient information. We resolve light into 3D models by a "best guess" based on prior information.

So we require, at least (R, C) -> T where 'C' is some sort of contextual model which bridges the infinities between R and T.

Since ML takes Samples(T -> R) -> R, and not (R,C)->T, it doesnt produce what is required.

QED.

3. Word2Vec does not capture hierarchical relationships. He chose hierachical specifically because it is a discrete constraint and ML is a continuous interpolation technique that cannot arrive at discrete constraints.

4. "Actively worked on" means building AGI. Participating in the world with people is how animals acquire relevance, context, etc.

As a parent (in Switzerland of all places) I actually consider this a very good option for kids struggling. And took the opportunity for one of our kids and it worked out great.

Edit: Switzerland has a different approach where children are segregated by their ability starting from 7th school year. So you go to Gymnasium, A level, B level, C level.
Very neat - we were looking for something like this for a while now.
I think the main issue is interpolation vs extrapolation. Statistical models work well within the domain where data is available but have trouble generalizing to where data is unavailable. The very cool thing with physics is that theory was able to make a lot of true but wild predictions that only much later were backed up with experiment. Such powerful theories are very useful for finding interesting phenomena to study/exploit

I grew up in Romania too (finished school in 1992), and at least during the communist regime I can't really remember a culture of studying hard to escape poverty, because that simply wasn't how you escaped poverty - it was more a mix of "choosing the right parents", the people you knew, a bit of luck, a bit of corruption and maybe some shrewdness, but Romania definitely wasn't a meritocracy at that time (that may however have changed since, at least to some degree). However, kids that studied hard and were very good in school weren't looked down upon and disrespected as they sometimes are in the West.

At University (after the regime changed), studying hard did become more common, but it was directed at scoring a job in Canada/USA/wherever, not at escaping poverty in Romania itself...

I skipped a class (went from 3rd standard to 5th) because I could clear the entrance exam during changing schools (I also topped the exam, mainly because my tutor made me work hard). In college I failed a paper because I was lazy and didn't work hard. The first incident made me happy but didn't make me think that I was very smart and the latter didn't make me think I was dumb. I knew the reasons exactly. We under-estimate how much we know ourselves.
Does anyone have a book recommendation to learn and implement the bittorrent protocol myself ?
Ive been looking for a good book on the protocol.
Right, because there isn't the end-to-end encryption scheme that we're currently discussing. You seem to have missed the point of the conversation:

Comment 1: The problem with adding end-to-end encryption is that password reset is no longer possible (or it's possible but your data is lost)

Comment 2: You can come up with an end-to-end encryption scheme where you can reset your password and keep your data so long as you still have your phone (or when you lose your phone so long as you remember your password)

Comment 3 (mine): But if you lose your phone you often don't have your password any more, so that doesn't really help

By "Is there anything significantly different with Apple accounts?" I really meant does it often ask you to retype your password or otherwise force you to remember it.

Is stranger than that. Would be the only carnivoronus monocot known by now, (the only that I'm aware at least), so from an evolutionary point of view is a totally new type of creature. Would be like finding a monkey with wings. Evolving to a partially carnivorous diet in plants is a very rare event even among dicots. Only a few lamiales can do that.

So I would say that I'm a little skeptical, but hopeful. The deletion in the genome could have other parallel causes also (adaptation to the same very acid soils were carnivorous plants live would be my first candidate).

Very interesting idea in any case.

> Why should I care about them?

We should obviously care about improving education, for the good of society as a whole, for innovation, for pushing the economy forward, etc. It's dumbfounding that this would even be asked, I'm not sure anyone outside of America (i.e. no pervasive anti-intellectual culture) could conceive of a question like this

> Why am I being forced to subsidize people that will just grow to resent me as a leech on society due to my “inferior mathematical ability” as you surely do?

Why is American society so centered around appearances and perceived judgment? You'd rather damn an entire state to stagnation than risk being looked down upon by some hypothetical elitist? And math is only one of many, many subjects.. I firmly believe everyone is good at something.

> Poverty is a far bigger problem than some Virginia schools not teaching Geometry in 8th grade

And how is terrible education supposed to help with poverty? Education is a great way, arguably the primary way, that people lift themselves up.

You have to fail two classes in order to repeat the whole year. If you fail only one, you'd still could pass (but had to go to additional schooling). But if you had failed two, then there was something wrong going on with with the whole year, and it had repeated.

Usually it was kids that had some discipline problems. Perhaps ADHD, etc... but at the time, no-one cared about those aspects as school psychologist were not a thing at all.

If you failed more than one year in a row, then the teachers will just give up on you and let you just slide the next year as long as you just showed up.

During the uncertainty of when/if ports would reopen across Europe, some UK cruise companies went so far as to simply offer "cruises to nowhere".

All Javascript UI frameworks are the same. They provide a way to build UI and interactivity using components, and are powered by the same functional flow of data -> render components -> trigger event -> change data -> repeat...

Once you get past the fundamentals, it's just choosing the features that you like better. Vue uses HTML-based templates by default which I find better for 99% of scenarios, and can also be generated by a server-side framework which makes it easy to integrate into existing webapps without rebuilding as a complete SPA.

Reactivity is another thing that all frameworks and state management as evolved to, since it's just automating what you were manually doing anyway. Mobx and the like were early versions but the composition API in Vue 3 is probably the most polished version of this with automatic tracking that does what you expect and intuitive effects/watchers.

Vue also has official projects vs the 'unofficial' official ones for React, but that's a purely subjective preference at this point.
