That's the harsh way to put it. A more diplomatic way is that computing is not unique in having deeply ingrained artifacts of the language and culture that birthed it and developed many of the paradigms.

Take anything having to do with seamanship. There are many terms that date back to early modern English that simply don't make sense anymore yet are accepted and universal because the British Empire had a large and enduring influence on maritime matters and happened to be at the forefront of most modern developments until about 70 years ago.

In some cases this is actually built into laws and industry practice. Pilots speak English. That's the rules. Don't like it? Invent the time machine and beat Wilbur and Orville. For much the same reason, science speaks Latin.

This technical debt is difficult if not impossible to overcome, especially in regards to computers because we still haven't cracked general purpose AI. Software will only accommodate what it was written to accommodate.

Recognizing the problem and working to fix it is all well and good. But its wise to understand that this wont be solved any time soon so in the meantime it is pragmatic to operate in such a way to maximize compatibility.

After all, I still have to call it a Foc'sle even if I think that's dumb or isn't inclusive of my culture.
...and that isn't restricted to this vaccine, and is a major chunk of their IP.

If the WHO/UN/whomever wants to make that general technology public, they should buy it from them.

In the interim, Moderna has said it would help anyone manufacture the covid vaccine.

What the WHO is asking for goes well beyond that.

I really do wonder sometimes if a series of "recognizing which kind of math you need to google" courses would be more useful for the vast majority of people than traditional math courses are, past elementary school.

[EDIT] Making the later high school math classes and early university math classes focus entirely on practical application might also be a good idea. I have a feeling it would turn off ~0% people who will eventually become mathematicians, and then the other 200 people in that one mathematician's graduating high school class might actually use what they learned every now and then, once out of school.

I think we can safely shorten them to M1P and M1X.
Perhaps. AMD should also release 5nm processors by then too.
It'll have the exact opposite effect; by hiding the avenues for students to differentiate themselves, those avenues will then ONLY be open to those who come from families who know where to find them. This will quite literally exacerbate the problem.
I was in some gifted programs that were based on an IQ cutoff. I know its an imperfect measurement and we can work on better ones but theres a difference between a private school (how much money) and a gifted program.
> Not really. There shouldn't be "gifted programs", because they're not actually measuring "intelligence" but "how much money do the parents have to create extra schooling"

I think you have a misunderstanding about what a gifted program is.

I went through a gifted program as a child and I can assure you that my parents paid no money for it, considering our income was so low that we qualified for free lunches in school.
60 billion is obviously a metric ton, but 10 billion is not that ridiculous for an SoC to clear; there are snapdragons at higher transistor counts. The AMD 5950X clears 19 billion, and it is just a CPU with no GPU or integrated RAM. I’ve got to guess the M1 transistor count is inflated a fair bit by RAM.

I suppose it’s not likely we’ll know the actual price of the M1, but it would suffice to say it’s probably a fair bit less than the full laptop.
This makes sense unless you want to send your kid to a school with a specialized education, like a religious or STEM-focused institute. There are a lot of reasons to use private schools, even if the public school education system were excellent
Just another anecdote here, but I'll go ahead and share.

I was essentially raised by a single working mother who spent 12 years getting herself a Master's Degree while working full time and raising a very independent and even more obstinate little boy.

We weren't the poorest people I knew, but clothes came from Goodwill and we did not have enough money to put oil in our home's heater during some winters.

By 7th grade, I had been managing my own meals, hygiene, laundry and getting to and from school for a few years. I was also running as fast as I could directly to jail or worse. I had become feral.

I was extremely lucky that my mother forced me to try out for a magnet program, which got me into a different social group and even though I continued to find some trouble, I did not continue to find ever worse kinds of trouble.

Of course, I could be wrong, but I believe that art program and the teachers, students and counselors there saved my life.

It would be a real shame if we allowed people to dismantle those programs, as I certainly am not the only economically disadvantaged person who found themselves at least somewhat stimulated and essentially saved by the experience.

Copy/pasted from a sibling comment I made:

===

Is school about bringing the best up or is it about educating the general populace? Public education in the US is about offering a minimum level of education and acculturation to students. It is _not_ about producing elites.

A contrast to this is Soviet education policy which explicitly tried to select for talent from a young age and funnel them up. In the Soviet Union though, poorer students had full employment guarantees, so the danger of falling through the education system was a lot lower.

===

> I may come across as an asshole for this but I don't really care, I think it's far better to reward the top percentage for trying than to throw them in the shitter with the kids that don't care at all and make them suffer 12 years of their youth learning worthless drivel far below their capabilities.

It's not about being an asshole. This is the danger of thinking about your own personal experiences. _You_ viewed the experience as drivel and far below your capabilities. But how does this affect the aggregate experience of students? For that matter, how does this affect the experience of elite students?
Colombus was trying to find India and he explored the area trying to find proof that he indeed found India.

Furthermore, Colombus brought an interpreter with him, Luis de Torres:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_de_Torres

"Their task was to explore the country, contact its ruler, and gather information about the Asian emperor described by Marco Polo as the "Great Khan". "

There is a lot of effort put today to downplay the importance of what happened. I understand that it makes sense politically. But the fact remains that what happened in 1492, for good or bad, changed the world forever.

> gifted programs for any student, regardless of wealth.

Right "any student" - so please explain to me what causes the huge disproportionate racial gap in these schools?

There's really two arguments here:

- Biological

- Non biological

If anyone thinks its the first one, I'm not having this discussion with you.

If you think it's the second one, are taxes going to gifted schools actually...helping society?
Can they make me a paper billionaire too? I mean if it's only papers they shouldn't mind right?
When I was in 6th grade, I took a test that put me into algebra in 7th grade. The other options were pre-algebra, or remedial math. My parents didn't pay anyone, and this actually took place when I switched from private school to public school. How was that not a measure of my intelligence? Don't you think I would have missed out in terms of education if I was placed in the lowest tier, which is effectively what removing gifted programs does?

Alphabet's name change was part of a corporate and equity (shares) restructuring and also a change of the executive leadership guard and/or board, no? Perhaps that's going on at Facebook too.

With respect, I think you might have missed something. See the heading titled “you don’t have to give up your nerd card.”
Yes, indeed if you assume that the current system for allocating capital is good then you conclude that the current system for allocating capital is good. If you apply a bit more critical thinking you can start to question whether the fact that a small proportion of people have a monopoly on the ownership, allocation, and creation of capital, and are therefore able to extract rent from loaning it out without providing any value themselves, whether that is a good thing at all.

At least in some states, the qualifications and continuing education requirements for teaching in gifted programs (or whatever they choose to call it) is often similar to teaching in special education programs. The students are recognized as being "special needs", not in the sense of needing special attention to get the core curriculum (what most people associate with special needs students), but in needing special attention to not suffer from boredom, act out, or just fail to show up.
The general technology here is a big part of the company's asset value. If the WHO/UN/EU/etc wants to make it public, they should buy it from Moderna, not twist their arm to hand it over.

We need to reward tech creators, not punish them.
If they're this torqued over control over the client end hardware, why have any pretense the client owns it? Make a leased terminal / Xbox console (without the "open") part of the requirement already.

The problem isn't the site as much as it is puritanical society. As soon as the site moves towards more diverse content that isn't porn they start to smell the ad-dollars which come with the puritanism.

Exactly what (almost) happened to Onlyfans once they attempted to pivot towards non-adult content.
while I agree that banning private schools would force public school quality to rise, that doesn't really have much of anything to do with whether public schools have a gifted program or not.
Alright, in that case it would be a real sacrifice, but it's still so obviously worth it. There's very little I wouldn't sacrifice to do what Moderna could do right now. The worst case scenario seems to be that Moderna employees with "helped develop the most effective Covid vaccine on the planet" on their resumes have to get new jobs, and new treatments based on their technology are developed more quickly now that the whole world can experiment with it.

"some kids are naturally better than others at doing tasks that school and future employers have deemed important"

This characterization of "gifted" is so profoundly incorrect that I'm having trouble coming up with a concise explanation as to why.

I agree that the term is not the best, but... I think you may not be familiar with the full spectrum of abilities that "giftedness" implies.
Some people are angry because education system screwed them or somebody else over, retaliatory or punitive actions still aren't a good approach for solving things and the people who cater to them are dishonest demagogues.
It was great! At home we had semi-automatic washing machines, and laundry dryers and ovens with timers on them. Some people had central heating with thermostats, too.

And there were automatic lifts (elevators, for US-ians) in office buildings and department stores--just press the button to go to your floor. Amazing!

What's the replacement for Perl based Verilog metaprogramming in the Intel (I think) style?

I'm being a little cheeky, but that is a use-case for perl at a few of the places that make the processors that the web-frameworks that no longer use perl run on. I no longer work at a semiconductor company, maybe they're moving away from that, but I'm not sure what would replace the in-line perl in verilog files that use perl as a pre-processor.
It's also worth bearing in mind that the Departments of Commerce, Energy, Homeland Security, and Treasury all have efforts to this effect. And as you say, nobody writes articles about how the Department of Energy helped a solar operator figure out a patching strategy. It's boring.

"and it needs to be sanitized..." clarify your point. If I need to display user-controlled data, I can use a proper API - e.g. var x = document.createElement(); x.textContent = "<script></script>". You can put anything inside textContent. It works because it is contextual; you're creating an element and telling the browser what to do with it (display as text). If you needed better formatting, you would compose the various html elements, you would NOT use innerHTML.

DOMPurify performs a string->string conversion, so it's got no context information. I don't understand how this can work. It didn't work for PHP magic quotes. It doesn't work for SQL queries. Why can and should it work for HTML?

Remember that "work" implies not just "safe". It implies "it must show what the user wanted to see". Otherwise

var sanitize = function(input){ return "<p>";}

Would "just work" perfectly.
Finland must be doing g&t differently or you're completely misunderstanding, because in the UK there was never really a hard monetary barrier for the program.

What is the Tranco dataset that this is based on? I mean come on -- anything that claims to be based on 'Alexa' (or any of these others: Cisco Umbrella/openDNS? Majestic? Quantcast?) is sooo suspect. None of these sources are that good and especially Alexa which harks back to a time 20 years ago of browser toolbars and extensions which the large majority do not use anymore.

Just saying yes maybe it's easy to come up with a top 1000 list of sites on the net, but other than that no one really knows unless you're like Google/Bing/Apple/Cloudflare that have redirection urls/DNS control, tracking clicks etc
Are you saying we're way past the point where encryption could be restricted from export in the U.S.? Because encryption exports are controlled and when I first started programming they were completely illegal. Every once in a while new legislation is proposed to make these exports illegal again, usually to "save the children".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_of_cryptography_from_th...

Based on other comments here, I'll assume there is no hidden agenda on encryption here but a document this messy is probably hiding "stuff" (on purpose or not).

I think the issue is that we're going to end up with a Euphemism Treadmill where society will come up with new terms to describe the concept of "gifted", and use them until those new terms get loaded with the same connotations that made them want to change it in the first place. I don't see this ever going away because human beings value intelligence and like to categorize people as "smart" or "dumb".

Basically.

People act like we don't understand how "value" and "equity" works.

We do. We don't want money. The idea is to own the means of production. Amazon is nothing without its workers. No company is anything without its workers. The workers deserve to be represented in that huge equity.
It's worth saying that the whole site is an absolute gold mine of fantastic information about console architectures over the ages, and I particularly like the way he always highlights how the DRM has been broken. It's really fascinating to see the convergent and occasionally divergent evolution that goes on in these machines, speaking to, but slightly independent from, the technological trends of their time.

I spent the last decade working for semi’s (Intel, Arm, NVIDIA) (all opinions here my own) on IoT and Edge Computing ecosystem.

My take away is that the concept of a “Digital Twin” has evolved. In the IoT space, a digital twin tends to be a representative of the state of some real world object or asset. With Amazon device shadows for example, we are talking about a relatively simple list of stored values. Is the light on or off? Etc.

The Metaverse is an extension of digital twin. It is being driven by advances in processing power at the edge. If it’s affordable to put a gigantic processing power into a factory, why not simulate the entire factory?

Metaverse is that: an advanced digital twin.

Finally, a lot of people want to hate on crypto. But crypto for me is essential for Metaverse. Having an economy built into the advanced digital twin is very, very powerful because now everything is an MMORPG game.

With money baked in, you can assign value to data, resources, sensors, processing power, storage and overlay a marketplace on top of the scenario.

Anyways - people should begin to take the role of crypto seriously. This is a real thing and it will happen.
From the picture, it looks like he had a catheter. (The article mentioned that he had tubes coming out of his body.)

He basically was supposed to be transferred to some kind of facility, like a nursing home, or under the care of a competent adult at home, or similar. The quote from the hospital at the end of the article implies that he refused service.

Reading between the lines, he probably needed to be sent somewhere against his will, but it sounds like bureaucratic problems prevented this.
Because that would be a very large sacrifice with a very small benefit. Conversely, Moderna has the opportunity to make a relatively small sacrifice for an incomprehensibly enormous benefit.

If my becoming a hunter gatherer would single-handedly eliminate 50% of global emissions or something, I would do it in a heartbeat.
I think the implication is that if people with means to act with authority, power, and know-how on the day-to-day operations of the school actual sent their kids to the schools that all the kids go to (even the kids that don't have parents with authority or power or know-how), the schools that all kids go to would be just as good.

Wealth is a clumsy proxy. A single-income home, with a parent deeply invested and active in the child's education (rather than how to get food on the table next week), implies a lot of unmeasured but real resources. Resources that are more readily invested in "communities with means." Leaving the communities without those same means deprived, deprived of resources that are not easily tracked by "how much money does the school get."

Of course wealth can play a role too. Consider a poor neighborhood where some of the money from the school goes to paying for school lunches, where in the wealthier neighborhood students are typically sent with their own lunchbox. It's not just about the money. It's about the people that have the money.

It's not something you can easily policy away, imho, because it's a systemic cultural issue, with a lot of messy tangles.
The ZSH shell would be actually great choice for shell in the FreeBSD Base System because it uses the MIT license.

I'm not playing any online games that require what is especially a rootkit to be installed on my system. This isn't the first time that anti-cheat software made by Riot has taken stuff too far. Anyone remember when they introduced an anti-cheat measure that would run on ring 0? Why does a video game need so much control over my computer?

I can understand these measures being taken in game consoles, but most people use their PCs for a lot of stuff, and most likely store sensitive information that they wouldn't want to risk being exposed to some potencial malicious entity.
