That's not the point of what I said... I acknowledge that some kids end up smarter than others. I just don't put most of that difference down to innate intelligence. I'm not even sure there is such a thing. I highly doubt the difference between a 9th grader studying calc and a 9th grader studying algebra is some great brain difference. They're both straightforwards subjects that anyone can learn.

We're not talking about asking TAG students to develop a new version of string theory. We're asking them to ingest already discovered information and apply it. The idea that this requires innate intelligence is just silly. Anyone can be trained to do these things. Those who work harder will be able to get into these courses.

What I find dangerous is the attribution of all material differences between people to genetics/predisposition. This thinking leads to the end of meritocracy, and even the celebration of achievement.
I appreciate this practice. Here's a useful extension:

My name contains non-Latin characters (apparently strange as we use a Latin language), but 40 years of working with computers I learned to avoid using the original form and always convert to ASCII; yes, it is not my name, but my pride and sense of entitlement are not hurt at all.

Perhaps the regular price for your friend is high end equivalent of 1200 ?. The author strongly says the population of an area makes a big difference in the rates you can charge.

Also mean income (as measured by her study of other workers) is $100,000 with her average rates of her sample around 500-600.

Effectively

= F(x)(y)(z)

X - number of people earning 200x the hourly rate

Y - % of that interested in paying for sex[1]

Z - relative beauty rank among service providers[2] in that area

You cannot control beauty much but you could change for location and optimize for all the factors to get best rate[3]. Or optimize for total money depending on what is preferred.

[1] age is strong factor so demographics is a good proxy metric.

Also perhaps friction with law is proxy for cultural acceptance and can be numerically scaled : fully legal, decriminalized, or criminal with quantum of punishment for scaling. And degree of enforcement measured by number of arrests / convictions etc.

[2] probably being 9 in LA wouldnt be the same as say Wyoming( demand would be lesser as a counter pressure)

[3] touring is a thing perhaps because of this.
> To make a platformer game, you have to know enough to do a basic Euler integration.

I coded that kind of stuff when I was like 12, in BASIC, with no idea about integration as far as I can remember now. I think I'd read about simulating a bouncing ball in a basic programming book somewhere? This did help with getting the ideas about calculus later.

Added: http://www.vpri.org/pdf/hc_pers_comp_for_children.pdf has a more detailed scenario of kids coding Euler integration without knowing it's called that.

M1 Max gives 9% boost for single-core and 34% for multicore, with similar or larger (?) TDP -- Intel is 35-45 W, M1 Max is 60W but I assume some of it (a lot?) goes to GPU. Impressive, but probably wouldn't be called revolution if came from Intel.
I seriously doubt it will poison the word. When you hear the word alphabet, do you think of Google? These companies are too deeply ingrained in the public consciousness to meaningfully change their name. It's a legal thing, nothing more.
Agreed. Seems like a conflict of interest. I'd very much appreciate any Googler outright stating as such at even the slightest mention of their employer, and doubly so when recommend Google products.

It would be hypocritical of me to not do as I ask of others, so for the record: I'm a self-employed programming consultant.

The idea is not to abolish time zones, the idea is to add UTC to the clock so we have local times (time zones) and a global time (UTC) in one clock. With added features like "Meeting Time", we can defiantly find the best time to call and making sure it's not 4am in the other place.
Thanks. I was worried about the fact this console has so much going on inside, so if I end up writing too much (like 100k words) about it, the reader may get too tired and lose interest. In the end, I wrote 20k words with lots of diagrams to help out. I also adapted the site to properly add citations, in case the reader wants to know more about a specific topic.
They didn’t find out what was going on until the 20th century… Before that they thought it was God’s judgment on the heathens or something.
Tegmark's mathematical universe hypothesis is like Platonism taken to the extreme: only mathematical objects exist.

Standard "vanilla" Platonism says: there is an abstract world of pure forms (the mathematical side) and it is imperfectly projected [or other similar kinds of words] down to the reality we experience.

Tegmark asks: why distinguish the two?

I think what stock holders really believe is that Mr EM can continue to bullshit his way into higher and higher valuations by promising more than what he can do. It has worked up to this point, and with a high enough stock price, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
> I think Tesla will be successful, but the current valuation seems to assume that every IC car on the road will be replaced by a Tesla in the next 10 years.

Their P/E at Q3 level of profit is 147. That's quite small for a company growing at more than 50% and whose margin keep improving. Also, the addressable market for vehicles, solar and stationary storage is almost limitless. We're not even talking FSD, where their lead continues to increase vs competitors (most are stopping their research, cf. BMW and Mercedes).

>I think Ford and Toyota are going to figure out how to be tesla a lot sooner than Tesla is going to figure out how to be Ford and Toyota.

Tesla keeps increasing its technology vs Ford in all the main areas (battery, power trains, casting, electronics, self-driving, but also market that Ford does not even pretend to serve such as energy generation and grid storage).

Toyota is completely lost. They invest far less in EV than Tesla and the gap continues to increase. They only focus on PHEV, which people aren't interested in when they have become familiar with EV (see Norway, where climate does not even favor BEV). They'll try to do something with hydrogen only because the Japanese government will subsidize them for that.

Practice and time. I haven't learned to touch type using some course or tutorial, and I there may be some out there that will get you up to speed even faster than learning it on your own.

I remember as a child not looking at the keyboard and thinking "I want to type the letter x", then using a finger and checking on the screen if I hit the right key.

Crude, finger-greased approach. As I said, there may be some guides on how to do it properly that, with practice and time, will lead to better results faster.
A video game made in good faith will not screw with your machine when it's not running.

This is absolutely not remotely true with a root kit which could mess with all sorts of things, especially if you have multiple installed. And it won't be clear what is causing it.

It's not a weird view at all, it's perfectly pragmatic.
I'm not on the scene. I don't work in that business. So take this with some salt. But I have heard that two things are causing issues.

1. California passed a law that all trucks older than 10 years old had to have expensive modifications (I believe for pollution control). Well, the average age of trucks is 14 years. Surprisingly (not), trucks became in short supply in California.

2. They passed this law that Uber drivers were employees, not contractors. Surprisingly (until you think about it), this same law hit owner-operators of trucks. That confuses the legalities of hiring owner-operators, which is a fair number of trucks.

From what I heard, for both of these reasons, trucks and drivers are less available than they used to be in California.
Thanks - interesting on OpenCL - presumably running on GPU? All that memory opens up some interesting possibilities.

The problem is related to test prep.

Some parents pay hundreds of dollars an hour for tutoring for their kids (as young as 4 years old) to score well on the gifted and talented tests.

And it works. (To an extent. I imagine such tutoring could bring a student in the 85th percentile into the 95th percentile, for example)

As a result the program favors kids whose parents have more money.
Tesla valuation only makes sense if they become a huge player in batteries/other household electronic devices and keep their dominant car margins while gaining market share.

That’s certainly part of the advantage, but I always wonder about the geography here. Amazon and Microsoft are both headquartered in Seattle (technically Redmond for MS, but it’s only a short drive). I imagine there’s a lot of cross pollination going on. They’ve also made noises in the past about integrating Alexa and Cortana, and it’s quite easy to turn a PC into an always-on Alexa device. Everything that makes sense about the Amazon collaboration would make more sense if it was a Google-Microsoft collaboration, except the geography and cross-pollination aspects. Surface Duo has play services and no one bats an eye.

That’s just my unfalsifiable hypothesis, and I’d like to hear other takes.
Guevedoce: Where a child changes gender naturally from female to male at puberty
As an immigrant and a parent myself, I think you meant to say "children of illegal aliens". US _legal_ immigration is means/skill based and requires a paying job, so kids of immigrants mostly are fine economically.

Illegal migration is a big problem, but I'd also counter that this problem should be mostly confined to the Southern states and CA.
My high school program was called the Accelerated Learning Program way back in the 1980s. Is that not a common name for it?

> You're totally right, but I see a lot of folks around me making absolutely bonker claims on these M1 devices.

What "but"? The claims are less bonkers with a perspective that acknowledges the significance of those physical differences.

Without the case, would the full internals (motherboard/CPU/GPU/PSU/ram/heatsinks/storage) of your desktop fit in your pants pockets? Because the M1 Mac Mini's fit in mine.

How much fan noise does your desktop produce? How much electricity does it consume? M1s are fast compared to almost everything, but they're bonkers fast compared to anything getting even remotely close to 20 hours on a battery at 3 lbs weight.
This isn't really intentional. It happens because all 3d or MPEG rendering is hardware-accelerated these days; the pixels are written or decoded on the GPU and never exist in the framebuffer that Windows knows about. To take a screenshot of that, you need a media player or screenshot tool that knows how to dip into the hardware-accelerated rendering. The basic snipping tool can't do it. Steam generally can although it's not perfect.
I wonder if there will be successful discrimination lawsuits. I'm kind of frightened at the precedent being set here. I've heard all the "prior precedent" but fail to see it matching the scale of whats happening here.

Yeah, I actually agree with you. But as I said elsewhere, the difference between a 9th grader studying calc and a 9th grader studying geometry/algebra is NOT innate intelligence. We're not asking these kids to derive new string theories that unify quantum mechancis and general relativity. They're being asked to learn information and apply it. Anyone -- even someone of below average intelligence -- can accomplish this with effort.

The idea that a program should only be for those with 'innate' intelligence is silly. In fact, the name of the program is why it's controversial and being targeted by these groups. Instead, the group should be renamed to indicate that it's for anyone that wants to achieve.

For example, 'high achievers' or something. Anyone is capable of doing these classes. This is not some advanced theoretical physics / mathematics course.
I think it's impossible to make an anti-cheat system that is both effective and palatable to security-minded individuals. Game cheating is an arms race, and it can quickly poison an online community. If you want to see examples of what it looks like when anti-cheat isn't taken as seriously, pop over to the Titanfall 2 or Apex Legends subreddits. Every single anti-cheat system has been the subject of hand wringing by HN at some time or another.

I don't think there's an answer until the OS itself has a way of preventing cheaters in a trustworthy way. Maybe cloud gaming will solve this, but it isn't solving it yet. Until then, I don't blame Riot or anyone for aggressive anti-cheat practices. They're protecting their community and their business.

Facebook is not as bad as heroin. Facebook is not as necessary as electricity. It's insane to me that this is where we are in the discourse, that those are the analogies being used to describe one of dozens of ways to communicate with others.

The sad reality is that if it weren't Facebook, it'd be Twitter. If it weren't Twitter, it'd be TikTok, and so on. The people you're mad at aren't the companies making it easier to communicate, it's the people doing the communicating, and they're doing the communicating on whatever platform becomes most popular.

You may be mad at the users for not... I dunno, saying better things on these platforms, and you're seemingly taking it out on the platform. You're mad at society, and you channel it through to the services that society uses.

Facebook is not causing any of the problems you're upset about, it's just the platform where those problems are manifesting. It's still just a product, and if something better comes along, people will switch to the better thing. Network effects are real, but they're not permanent or impenetrable.

Go's got an awesome feature set built in to the language for building small networked services. I implemented a client to a cryptocurrency network to extract information about its status and clients. I can't really express why it's so good, it just feels right.

Same for Ruby, the syntax is perfectly suited for transforming, digging through and acting upon data. I didn't even add a Gemfile, only used standard library functions, transforming the data the Go program mined into usable information serialized in JSON which was subsequently used as a static database for a webpage.

You can find the source here: https://github.com/tinco/stellar-core-go, the Go is in cmd and the Ruby is in tools.

The site it powers is now defunct, apparently they changed some stuff in the past 3 years and the crawler no longer functions.
Holding on to my put options, but I'm really harsh in the red.

I do believe that Tesla has a bright future in the industry, but their current market cap is just straight up ridiculous. Unlike any other tech giant, they will never be able to reap the kind of margins with their products (cars!) like a "normal" tech company can, and at some point the rest of the car industry will catch up. Also, Elon Musk is a walking time bomb in my opinion, eventually he'll go too far with one of his endeavors and possibly drag everything else down with him.
Pronouns a new name for an old idea
In a sentence in natural language a thing can be referenced. The dictionary defines a 'pronoun' as

"a word that can function by itself as a noun phrase and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g., I, you ) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g., she, it, this )."

In programming we often find that we have "variables with local scope" that are used within a block. They "refer" to other things. In Lisp, for instance, a LET construct will create local variables that disappear on exit:

(defun foo (x) (let ((y (first x))) ....

in C it might be

void foo (x) int y = first(x); ...

Here 'y' is local.

Rather than calling these "variables with local scope" I suggest we call them "pronouns".
Tesla builds honestly really great cars. I don't have a car, but if I were to buy one it would no question be a Tesla.

Did you ever drive one? I did a Model 3 test drive the other day. Acceleration is out of this world, but everything else... meh. Interior looks and feels like it lasts for about 2-3 years. Brakes feel like stepping into a pile of mud. Huge central screen for everything is more distracting than useful. I was happy to get back into my 2007 BMW when the test drive was over. Still feels solid after 14 years.
