I've actually tried to frame my Computer Science instruction style based on my martial art experiences (BB Aikido, Purple BJJ). How I view it is that CS and MA share many properties in different environments. Both require a need for understanding technical skills (for loop or an arm bar), areas where to apply these skills (simulations or triangle->arm bar transition), and finally have an element of "problem-solving" (real world coding or sparring).

Most of the issues I see with Deliberate Practice criticism are the 10k hours rule and limitations in training "problem solving". 10,000 hours is obviously an arbitrary number, but signals the importance of time on task. With regard to training problem solving, I don't think we really have a solid "here is how you train it", but instead that we focus on training patterns so we can identify opportune times to apply them. THAT is where I can see DP being useful, since the goal moves from problem solving to lower level Bloom levels (Remembering/Applying those Patterns).

“Reality” is a consensus construct, so part of childrearing is trying to ensure that your progeny have the “correct” subset of beliefs.

(Even if you are a Platonist, which I suppose I am, for part of mathematics at least, there are plenty of people, perhaps a majority, who, for example, know almost no maths at all)
There was an underwear bomber though.
If it was the latter, there would be criminal investigation and he officially would know, what he is accused of.

But by putting that into question in Title IX investigation, it is about destroying credibility. Nobody is accusing him of anything, but a slanderous thought is being put into minds of his students.
It wasn't related to the Shoe Bomber plot, there was planning around something larger scale.

The fees are inflated because the block size is artificially limited. The mining reward is likely still enough to incentivize miners without any significant fee market, and difficulty adjustment is part of the protocol anyway.
True. It was available for the PET and the Atari 800, however. Should be trivial to adapt even today.
Absolutely. It's not a 9/11-style attack we need to be worried about. No one will let a plane get commandeered ever again. The 9/11 terrorists took advantage of the "comply with the hijackers" policy in place at the time. That opportunity ended the moment the second plane hit the towers.

The real threat is lone wolf random attacks on the general public like the DC sniper. That's a very low-cost high-impact attack that paralyzed an entire metro region for nearly a month. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D.C._sniper_attacks

What the actual fuck? Never once have I said that these wouldn't be regulated, nor has the Coinbase CEO, and I have no fucking clue how you would jump to that conclusion. Jesus Christ...what a fucking moronic straw man.

There are over a dozen financial regulatory bodies that are not the SEC. FINRA is the most likely choice here, considering the fact that they already regulate securities lending.

My sense is that there is nothing they could say. Hijack a plane, a bunch of men are going to attack you. That's it.
Treating the symptoms, no matter how clever, isn't going to cure the disease. But it might give us enough time to actually get to the cure.

I always wondered how large a satellite we would need at the ideal spot between the earth and the sun to block a portion of the sunlight in order to cool the planet down a few degrees.

Not that it would solve humans being a cancer to the planet, but it would give us a few hundred years to get to a solution before billions of us find ourselves in some sort of post-apocalyptic world.

It’s a very fine layer of surface oxidation. Same reason you can get different colors on aluminum depending on how thick the oxide layer is.

Stainless steel is corrosion resistant, not corrosion proof. Dishwashers are actually pretty harsh with high temperatures and high pH detergents.

You can get the same effect by putting a stainless steel spoon in a pot of boiling water.
The weird thing is that this prof and the SJWs attacking him are ostensibly fighting the same fight with different strategies. Let's take the analogy from poisons.

Poisons are bad for your health but they exist, how do you deal with them? One strategy is to remove poisons from your environment. If someone brings poisons into your environment you make them take the poison away and criticize the person for bringing it. Hopefully the person doesn't bring any more in the future.

Another strategy is to learn the procedures necessary for safe handling of poisons. You put on protective gear, you ensure proper ventilation, you put up warning signs, you make sure people who arn't trained don't get near the poisons.

Both of these strategies can work. For most people the former is the better strategy, for professionals the later may be necessary.

So if this prof and the SJWs agree that some points of view are bad how do you deal with those ideas? The prof wants to use the second strategy, and teach people how to safely handle potentially harmful ideas. The SJWs don't want anyone near the ideas, especially in public forums or around impressionable minds.

Personally I find the SJW proposition insulting, but then again I've had explicit training in critical thinking, persuasion, rhetoric, the propagation of ideas and sufficient life experience to be confident in my ability to wade into toxic environments and come out relatively unscathed. Still, I think of the SJWs as fundamentally (and ironically) paternalistic.

That said there are plenty of myopic professors who believe that people won't be influenced by exposure to ideas, or believe that you can provide a venue without conveying the impression of support. Naive ivory tower BS. They don't recognize, or believe in, the need for caution.

Then there are the counter-activists, and this prof could be one. They know how to influence people and recognize the power of providing a forum and are "teaching the controversy" in an intentional gambit to spread ideas with which they agree. There are enough of these that for the SJWs a few ivory tower casualties are acceptable losses. The reactionary intellectual is the enemy.

So how to judge the current mood, the current movement? As a fascinating and effective marriage of the ideological purification tactics long employed by the ultra conservative set, now wielded by a sufficiently powerful amalgam of historically marginalized groups. Continual harassment, slander, character assassination and public ridicule work. This prof is just another battle won.

You're actually right, it's an oversight from my comment. I was in the same spot: some savings, none digital, parents weren't going to pay anything.

In any case, if it gets kids learning new things under the guise of saving a very limited resource, I'm all for it!
Cockpits are now locked by default, so there's no terrorist getting in there anymore, they can threaten anything, all it would do is divert to closest landing spot.
Harder how?

Generically, if you choose something super popular, you'll have many options but likely an oversaturation of candidates that say they can do said technology and it can be hard to separate wheat from the chaff. Niche technologies can attract passionate and eager people, but the candidate pool will be smaller and likely less experienced with the tech in production.

If someone needs on a principle to have the plane shot out of the sky, there are way dumber, and more sure ways to do that than trying to get a bomber on board.

In this case it's really about the burden of community moderation. It's a fairly impotent restriction, and yet it serves the social function of discouraging a certain sort from making Lemmy their home. Most Reddit alternatives become really scummy because they attract the people (not "the kind of people", the literal individuals) who get banned from Reddit for pushing anti-Semitism, racism, and misogyny past what Reddit allows. There are a lot of people who thus think "the whole point" of a Reddit-like that isn't Reddit is to be able to post the really awful stuff. The filter obviously doesn't work well to reliably block it -- but it does seem to work to drive off the folks who are looking for a cesspool.

How would they convince pilots to open the door to let them hijack plane?
This is all accurate and detailed and I appreciate it, but I'm comparing them directly to US parties, hence center left, not centre-left.

It's possible I'm just splitting hairs though.
I’m confused- they are claiming same compute for same cost but mainframe is 1 30 core chip and HP is 12x 24 core chips. Hard to believe ibm has a chip 10x faster per core

Wow that’s super informative and thanks!

I think something is lost in translation since first reaction to normal Chinese is Mandarin == 普通话 whose direct meaning is about spoken form. As I think deeper you are mostly correct although I still think writing language, system and the dialects need a quite formal definition and the difference is subtle. Educated Chinese learns ancient Chinese, read some book written in traditional Chinese, laugh at comedy spoken with “topplect” and watch many Hongkong Movies, there aren’t many gaps in understanding.

Historically many dialects evolves from different races that has invaded China and get absorbed(including CCP). In written form it converges to Chinese system. It makes the topic more confusing - does those count as languages
Not just financial interest, but also getting a free pass to make people do what authorities want without having to convince them, and to crack down on anyone they don't like for any reason.

Rules like this that don't really have a point and are applied unevenly (like drug laws, many traffic laws, public intoxication...) are just a lazy way to make sure authorities can make anyone or any group they want "fall in line" while not actually preventing favored individuals or groups from doing what they want. It's the most unfair and unequal kind of regulation, and in general people cant6get enough of it, precisely because they know it will be used mostly against groups they don't like, but they dont have to explicitly identify those groups or otherwise acknowledge their prejudice.
And if they've spent $billions building out huge capacity data centres, but only have a few customers, then they might have large amount of capacity sitting idle that costs them very little to put into the Always Free tier. It's free developer-mindshare-marketing anyway.

No, that's not true. We got to see it happening.
When you sign up and verify your email you will see the provided CloudFormation template found here for auditing of IAM permissions: https://vantage-public.s3.amazonaws.com/x-account-role-creat...

The list of permissions is a whittled down version of what's available in the AWS managed policy of "ReadOnlyAccess" and doesn't allow us to do things like read from S3 Buckets or read from RDS instances. Basically just List/Describe actions.

IAM permissions are written about more here in our documentation and are ultimately handled gracefully if you want to remove some. For example, if you just want to hand Vantage access to billing, S3 and EC2, it will do the job as best it can with just those permissions: https://docs.vantage.sh/permissions/

Finally, here's a blog post on our cross account IAM setup: https://www.vantage.sh/blog/how-vantage-uses-cross-account-i...

I can give you images of how a terminal looks on e-ink screens but not with the final panel we're likely to use nor with final software, so probably best no to since it wouldn't be representative.

Google can give you an idea of how it looks, but with a much smaller screen than we're using (ours is 13.3") so these images feel more cramped and look more "plain jane": https://www.google.com/search?q=e-ink+terminal&um=1&ie=UTF-8... With the larger screen and more refined setup than these Google Images pictures show, it is very pleasant to use. I hands-down prefer it to a laptop running a terminal, except when color is important.
If the goal is to suppress the pandemic, then the correct approach would be to shut down MSM and social media like FB, Twitter, etc.

The TSA is just a huge scam to siphon money and they need to show they are providing value. Taking shoes off is that value, so yeah it’s never going away. We could get out of Afghanistan but will never get rid of the TSA.
The real least intrusive option would be to just ask people to quarantine and trust that they do it as their civic duty. You could also offer a small support check at the end if they completed the quarantine without being seen out of the house or offer payment if they download the app and allow location permission. There are so many ways to run a quarantine program without resorting to locking people away or making them use the equivalent of a house arrest bracelet. It's concerning that you don't even see how totalitarian this is. These people weren't convicted of any crime, they caught a highly contagious virus that we will never eradicate and will be living with for the rest of our lives.

Or Google. When I was a student I forgot about a TPU instance and spent over $10K in a single month, on track for $100K. Google refunded me since the server was at idle for most of that month outside the one hour I used it for.
So any future attempt requires higher level of competence to pull it off, which means it's probably very unlikely that such an attack will ever happen again.

If we want to prevent hijacking of planes for terrorism purpose, then we'll need to go deeper and fix the root cause of extremism which required tons of focused effort, probably tackling seemly intractable problems. Not spend billions upon billions more on likely ineffectual screening procedure and tools to satisfy the surveillance state.
BTW, other fun hacks include:

1) Initial world creation is quite slow - 10-15 seconds on a moderately powerful hardware. Since I want first joins to be as fast as possible, I keep 1000 pre-generated worlds and one of them is chosen randomly to be used as template on your first login.

2) In addition to login packets, minecraft clients send a ping packet to check if the server is online. I forge a valid response because I don't want to start a server just so you can see "server is up, 0 players online".

I wonder what the angle for this article is. They interview a member of the Heritage Foundation, a 'think tank' heavily funded by conservatives and the oil industry whose more controversial efforts are climate change denial, vote fraud claims and opposition of critical race theory.
"I’ve invited a wide range of guest lecturers to address my classes, from Flat-Earthers to Christian apologists to global climate skeptics to Occupy Wall Street advocates. I’m proud of my work. I invited those speakers not because I agreed with their worldviews, but primarily because I didn’t."
The only thing that really bothers me is TikTok has CCP party members sit on its board, that review and have final say on everything.

To me this is a massive liability for the US. It's just a matter of time before China starts to dabble in "content shaping" on the platform, if they aren't already.

A bunch of programmers kvetching on a forum doesn't do anything. It isn't politics, it won't solve any of these "hard discussions," and everyone will continue to talk past one another. These discussions are entirely cultural at this point--it's comparing batman to superman.

Interesting how they assume static loads, 1-to-1 transferability from x86 to whatever architecture the Z wants to run (s390x?), and that admins for IBM systems are as available as x86.

It seems that this would never work in a fast moving and fast scaling environment, and the added 'special' sauce makes it incompatible with the broader FOSS ecosystem (including when "it really is the same as Linux on x86" - which it never is).

Say you really do run the RHEL+Apache Webserver+Websphere+MQ+Oracle stack, are you really in a position to make sane choices anyway?

Better yet, if I have 10 people doing shared services on a public cloud supporting 150 developers developing applications that run on K8S that scales from 10% to 1000% on a daily basis. How would this IBM mainframe (or even the ancient vSphere 4.0 on blades) deliver any value over K8s and a cloud? Do I fire 100 developers to then hire 20 IBM auditors, 20 IBM mainframe maintainers and 10 legacy developers? Because cost-wise that would be the same, yet output-wise it wouldn't nearly deliver the value we would have had before.

And on top of that, the data tables are images? wtf?

I'm sure you can construct a scenario where a mainframe would 'win' (as if there is such a thing, only 'fit' matters), but commodity workloads on commodity resources has 'won' a decade ago. The only ones that are stuck are specialist cases or 'classic' multinationals.

For about a week, I've had in my head an on-going theme of thoughts, all about the relationship between music and language - sounds, words, and silence. Been writing a song called "Talk". ("Talk without talking / Walk without walking / And fly without even trying..")

Then I came across a book titled, "Speaking the Piano".

"Most stories about politics" - perhaps this one? Although there are plenty of "political" stories that don't get flagged. This definitely won't get covered on TV.

Here in Brazil there is a very widely supported payment method "boleto bancário", where basically the seller/provider prints you a bill that you can pay with a bank account, or in cash at physical locations (usually lottery houses and post offices).
