>Extreme progressive Liberals are killing science and progress in this country,

There is literally a major political party in the US that parrots science to be fake & that religion/faith in god is all that matters. Also, that "progress" (in a technological/scientific sense) is a bad thing

Last I checked, it was not the progressives that identify with this line of thinking.

Come on.

Cyc, an AI engine and facts database that uses rules-based methods for AI, demonstrate such high level of understanding of math it can pretend to be slightly dumber than the user of the system.

I think it's fascinating. I also think it is out of reach for contemporary statistical methods.

I agree.

I started in an average class in my year. Don't remember doing anything extra at home, or much at all, but still had an equivalent of all A's. At some point my parents realised something was wrong and moved me to the strongest class... Only then I started doing something. This is when I realised that some kids were already impossibly far ahead (we had world-level olympiad goers there).

Can't say I become world-class at anything but this helped to concentrate and work through the rest of school and uni without any problems.
No, you need just one: "every phone connected to at least two of these N base stations over this 48-hour window".

Which is quite a modern take on a historically reviled phenomenon, so you should call them for what they are: general warrants.

Not original NS, but GNUstep runs on the Raspi.

NS was definitely more than "usable", it seemed very snappy at the time.

GNUstep runs very nicely on the Raspi.
Thanks for the tip. I have to think about it. I don't know anyone who has gotten it out of a handful of people. But it's def f something to think about.

Can't say I care what Apple says, but I suspect there are actually good solutions out there, but they prob cost a few cents, so Apple said, "Nope -- we'll just go totalitarian instead -- we can do that for almost free."
What's more important: make everybody average? or make it possible for some people to reach outstanding levels?
The new Chrome tab group is not great, but it does help. One group for things that are being processed (handle asap), one group for "stuff to check", one for each project I'm working on and one for entertainment. All with short names and their own color, so it takes up a minimum of space.

The remaining space is for temporary tabs. Larger temporary side quests get their own window and will be either closed or moved into a new group before closing the browser.

It's still not as good as Firefox's nested Tree Style Tab once was (and might be again?) but I'm kind of locked into Chrome at this point.

Bookmarks only work for tools and resources I need on a regular basis, and even then it's usually easier to just google them when they are needed. Who has the time to actually study all those bookmarks saved for later?

Maybe some kind of organizational bookmark extension, that would help you go through it all, could help with this.

>The Albanian school was brutal in teaching science. Biology started at 5th grade, pre-Algebra at 5, and full blown Algebra at 6, physics at 6, and Chemistry at 7. Then in highschool you did the same, but more advanced. There was no choice at all, you had to do them all. The only choice in HS was a second foreign language. The whole idea was that you have to know all the basics of ALL sciences, so in college you know what to choose and pursue. If you never tried, you will have no clue if you liked something or not. (also basic music knowledge, sheet reading, and arts was a requirement as well).

I've went through similar curriculum in Croatia and I hated it - the literature they forced on us was politically correct bullshit some figurehead decided should be common culture. As a result 30% of the class read it and the rest just cheated and studied for test.

It was like this in every class - I hated cheating and studying for the test - I was lazy and it was pointless - as a result I got barely passing grades based on slightly paying attention in class. But in casual conversation I could relate way more of the basics than my peers. And I lost interest in many subjects simply because of how they were taught (study random facts because it will be on the test - no context or application). I had to relearn algebra after highschool because of how badly it was taught - and I was interested in it since I was trying to learn 3d programming and I was going to math competitions in elementary school - teachers couldn't relate any questions I asked to stuff I was interested in.

I hope my kid gets way less material to study and more opportunity to figure out what he wants to learn.
I’m not a full-time front end developer, so take this with a grain of salt. I write JS frontends for my nights and weekends side projects. I chose Vue over React because it seemed easier to get up to speed.

When I was looking to change jobs earlier this year I spoke with a lot of recruiters and they all said companies were looking for React developers, there were zero mentions of Vue. I don’t really regret my choice of learning Vue but React would have definitely been a selling point on my resume.

Will this change in a few years? Who knows. It feels like it’s React vs everyone else and as more and more projects get built in React I suspect the difference will widen even more.
No, of course not :P I just think it's dicey to loop the police in, you could get arrested, or worse.

The winning combo for me is Libby + Hoopla + Library Extension for Chrome.

In Romania I attended one of the "elite" maths/cs highschools. Except a hand full of people who would win medals in the imo etc. the rest of us were mostly clever, overworked automatons who learned problem solving tricks that we regurgitated on the page come exam time.
Commentary.

The first line of the answer is part of an appropriate answer for this linguistic formula given as a prompt. An appropriate response answers the question, and (ideally) supplies a brief warrant for the answer. (A warrant is a reasoned argument as to why the answer is correct.)

The rest of the answer is just noise. Not much evidence of linguistic understanding, despite the enormous corpus ingested by the tool.

> But I wouldn’t be surprised if, at some point in the future, the Han started a systematic Han-ization of Tibet.

Well, practically speaking, it already started a long time ago, although the colonization wasn't as intensive (after all, not many people would find the Himalayan conditions agreeable). Also, even Tibetans themselves speak less and less Tibetan, everything is in Chinese, your school, your job, everything except the language your grandfather spoke, so you basically become a Chinese.

What I want is a History functionality that allows me to better search through visited pages. Firefox does this, but they only show the page title, which is often not sufficiently descriptive. They should show search results like DDG/Google shows them.

With a better search, I wouldn't feel the need to keep so many tabs open.
If it is then I wouldn't necessarily call it a rebuttal because Norvig broadly agrees with Chomsky on the points under discussion. And that is that statistical models are not useful scientific theories about language in themselves. Where they disagree is what consequences to draw from it: Chomsky discards studying language by statistical means altogether, but Norvig offers a more nuanced position: he argues that there might still be a merit in statistical approaches to language, but not as a result so much in itself but rather as a valid tool that can ultimately help derive a deeper understanding.

I think this is a valuable distinction. Unfortunately, though, it is one that the research landscape seems to have somehow forgotten about over the last decade or so.

More tangibly speaking using an example, while the capabilities of a language model like GPT-3 are amazing, Norvig's point is that science should not just stop there - it should ask the question "what does GPT-3 teach us about human language?"
Does the second compilation chain do Control Flow Integrity?

It looks like it might be possible, but I really like the security properties of Wasm. It looks like I am moving the goal posts, but I am not, it is the biggest reason to use Wasm, the second one is the capabilities model.

It would be a great undergrad research project to measure the difference in those two compilation chains.
Forces are just models to predict interactions between particles.

It's only a model (a very accurate one though) so nothing is "really" a force. They are not material objects. But for gravity, something even more accurate was found to model it.

Yes, I think you are right, that counts as precedent.

I was thinking of the famous battles chasing each other around the map that included entrenchment but didn't stall as significantly. I can see an argument that Petersburg is the last stand of an exhausted defeated army digging in at their capital with the attackers choosing to siege rather than purely an unsolvable tactical impasse created by entrenchment technology... but it's probably that too.
Round Up is a defoliant, it's unlikely to have anything to do with an insect apocalypse.

Also while Round Up is probably (over)used, particularly in corn harvesting where it's sprayed to ease harvest and thus is more likely to end up in food products, in normal use it seems to be as safe as a chemical can be. Banning it is very likely to result in other chemicals being used, and they're unlikely to be as safe.

I feel like breaking down exactly how devious the first paragraph of this article is.

> What should we do about people who refuse to get vaccinated, or who continue to deny that Covid is real?

Conflation. Many - probably the majority - of people who haven't gotten vaccinated are not Covid deniers. The Guardian has thrown them in the same bucket.

> Debate on this issue has raged for months in the US.

And everywhere else? Including where The Guardian is based, and in surrounding countries like France, and Ireland. Unfortunately that doesn't allow the author to paint the issue as liberal vs conservative so easily....

> “Respect them!” scolded conservative commentators.

It wasn't and isn't just "conservative commentators" asking for basic respect. Let's not forget that the right to make your own medical decisions was considered fundamental up until very recently, and with good cause.

> “Shame them!” urged some.

"Some" what? Conservative commentators? Nah. "Some" people scared out of their wits called for mild shame? Or have there actually been a lot of calls for vaccinating people against their well, and expressions of glee at the thought they might "die from their own stupidity"?

> Others counselled empathy for them as victims of disinformation.

Remember who this "them" is - both Covid deniers, and anyone who hasn't gone along with taking a leaky vaccinate for the sake of a herd immunity which scientists now agree is unlikely at best.

... A lot to unpack in one paragraph.

I don't think I'm reaching when I say that there's people who reject this kind of brainwashing from the paper who told us Jeremy Corbyn was antisemitic. A paper which sickeningly claims to fight for truth and integrity in journalism, while failing to cover Assange's ongoing torture and show trial, never mind the direct role they've played in his character assassination.

Let's take a quick look at the last lines, and see how this article ended up:

> The higher their status within the groups, the more influence they will have in reconciling their fellow travellers to the reality of the pandemic, perhaps enabling them to rejoin society, or at least preventing them from endangering the rest of us.

Holy shit. You guys are seeing this right? "Perhaps enabling them to rejoin society", "preventing them from endangering the rest of us"? This is the language of dehumanisation.
What the author talks about is the theoretical performance of a programming language and I honestly believe that sample programs are the wrong experiment for that.

My hypothesis is that every programming language can approach optimal performance with enough effort. So the interesting question would be to measure the effort. As a proxy, one could maybe measure the time and experience-level of the programmers.

If I am really interested in the theoretical performance of a language, I'd use microbenchmarks for standard library functions. How much time does it take to sort an array? Reverse a list? Split a string? Etc.

Then there is of course the performance of the compiler or garbage collector. To compare this between different languages is the most difficult, I think. The best approach here is probably to take some real-world program (say a web server or a database), translate it nearly 1:1 and then compare the results. That's a tremendous effort for a single data point, though (albeit it would yield a nice collection of re-implementations, that could only help software quality).
I graduated before USE, and my math classes were... mediocre. To graduate, you had to do 10 problems of average difficulty, so our textbooks didn't even have problems harder than that.

I took a look at the entrance exam at the uni I wanted to apply to and was shocked. Thankfully, I had my dad and he went through Skanavi's exercise book with me.

I look at the USE math exam every year and it's much better than my final exam (although I like gaokao more, it has more varied problems that make you combine different areas of math), but I don't know where the cutoff point for "I won't get into trouble for my students' low results" is.

Whether you introduce or reduce bias using Lightly depends on how you use the software.

What we ideally want, is that the data we collect for training, validating, and testing our model represents the environment the trained model will operate in. However, collecting this data can be super difficult. E.g. for autonomous driving systems that would mean collecting data from every corner of the world, at every time of the day, during all kinds of weather conditions, in all 4 seasons...

However, this is a really difficult task. You will very likely end up having more data collected from one city (e.g. because your fleet is much bigger in city A than city B)

Glyphosate has demonstrated a very significant potential to impact gut microbiome. Imbalance in the gut biota has been linked to an extraordinary number of negative health conditions, including many cancers as well as modern epidemics such as obesity, depression and auto-immune illness. For example, glyphosate has been specifically linked to Celiac's, which is increasing significantly in prevalence.

I don't know if I'd be so quick to call it 'safe.' It requires an infinite number of experiments to prove any chemical is perfectly safe. It requires only a few to demonstrate the opposite.

If you work in finance and are subject to AML/KYC (anti money laundering, know your customer) laws, then it's not whether or not you encrypt data. You cannot encrypt the data in a way that is not accessible under those laws for the transactions you perform.

So that has nothing to do with the mechanism of securing data and everything to do with the finance organization compliance with the laws.

"Fintech" is a fancy word for a company doing financial applications, not a copout on financial regulations by using the "tech" word as an excuse.

There are a bunch of standards requiring encryption at rest and encryption in transit of PII and other data in finance. That does not mean that authorized users do not have access to it.

Some education systems put an emphasis on critical thinking, some on absorbing tons of information.

Polish education is notable for memorization. One area where it doesn't seem to hurt is medicine. It appears Polish doctors and nurses are very much appreciated when they migrate. Perhaps critical thinking is not a useful skill in medical practice?

Once upon a time I was reading an article about Polish migrants in Norway. The Norwegians observe that Poles are reluctant to send kids to Norwegian schools for a few reasons: a) the language is very different, b) Poles fear children will become rebellious, because the schools emphasize critical thinking* c) Poles fear children will become... idiots. Because they won't know too many facts. It appears despite constant complaining about pointless facts and useless information, Poles take some sick pride in the suffering. Some kind of Stockholm Syndrome.

The solution for me is to use the great suspender (pre kerfuffle version) which makes tabs act kind of like temporary bookmarks, but you're right in that something better is needed.

I guess the problem is that a lot of people, myself included, use tabs as a kind of todo list of things to look at (whether thats effective or not is another point), whereas bookmarks hide themselves out of sight and out of mind

No, because AWS is not providing financial services. If you are and you upload encrypted data to S3, then you'd better have the ability to decrypt it if required by the financial regulators, otherwise you are breaking the law.
It's the Germans who are extreme specializers, with separate middle and high schools for vocational, professional and academic tracks.
