One big company I interviewed with really annoyed me in the interview process, despite not being quite as many stages as this, and I told them I was done when they asked for me to do the next stage.

Years later, some recruiter I talked to said, "I know we passed on you a few years ago". I guess it's good that they were taking responsibility?

Why would you say reducing accelerated classes could be a good thing?

I had no such thing in school, but being bored had a huge part in school being hell for me. I read about schools for gifted children and dreamed about how cool it would be to be on such a school (not that I would necessarily have qualified, mind you).

I am personally in favor of teachers having high expectations from pupils, that they can rise to meet.

Never mind the whataboutism, but running against a stationary obstacle (a seamount) in a submarine is nothing that should happen to an experienced crew, and "sinking" a submarine can have disastrous consequences (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kursk_submarine_disaster), so I think these measures are entirely justified...

Now that you said it, I remember my first job interview as well. 1999, Linux administrator in an ISP.

- Can you setup a ppp connection on Linux via terminal (I did it, using minicom)

- My future manager and partner (I ended up becoming a partner in the ISP, and technical director, some years later), gave me a sendmail book, and asked me to restrict the relay on sendmail using the book. I did it.

I was hired, and spent the next years of my life, setting routes on cisco routers and managing some linux and freebsds in a small ISP. It was a great school.

Not sure how this is gaslighting, arrogant, or disingenuous.

You may not agree with this use of the technology, but it does not mean the behaviour is primarily criminal. It can be likened to a traditional art market, where artists attempt to earn revenue for their work by distributing and selling limited signed editions, but in this case the signature is cryptographically verified.
Do you have children? It seems possible you don’t

It’s pretty simple for a teacher to sit with a four year old and do a basic eval. This is not fill in a bubble standardized testing.

Your type of attitude also explains I think why needed tailoring doesn’t happen earlier. These same screenings can identify kids who could use extra support, need glasses, need a hearing aid and much more. It’s fascinating to see these so resisted.

Well off kids get tons of this eval naturally from neurotic parents, pediatrician visits and more.

There have been countless experiments along your lines of thinking, none of them has actually worked well at scale. If you think that educators love math, then think again, almost every teacher hated math when they were a student just like you do. And even though they hate it we still have it in its current form, that really tells you a lot about its merits.

Excerpt:

So we looked further, and what we found, chilled us to our bones: we were staring at the very moment the attacker gained the knowledge they needed.

At a public conference, where a speaker from the company was talking about infrastructure. During Q&A, the future attacker asked a few very legit, on topic questions, such as what log processing solution the company used, what would the speaker recommend? Do they run LTS, or Stable branches of a particular operating system, or do they roll their own security updates? All perfectly good, innocent questions. I asked similar questions before, too! Questions anyone could have asked.

Those questions, along with the talk before the Q&A, gave them most of the information they needed. They were able to coax an application to generate a log message that the processing tool would misparse, and everything started with that one, innocent looking message that had an extra comma.

Would have been nicer of Apple to just contribute a generic improvement back to the Bluetooth Standard, instead of solving a problem by creating "AirPods Bluetooth" and split the market.

Using that course, Google went and made Google-custom enhancements to Bluetooth as well, to apply nearly the same improvements to the user experience as Apple did.

And now here we are, with a universal standard that should work across different products and industries, but for good user experience you now have to brand-match your Bluetooth devices...

Really sad to watch common standards die. With all its flaws aside, I wonder if anything like Bluetooth would even be possible to happen today...

But how far does that definition of calculus go, on your hill? Is it being able to perform single-digit additions in your head? Rote memorization of the 1-10 multiplication tables? Remembering the squares of 1 through 25? Performing division of 7-digit numbers in your head?

I don't think that any of that is crucial to math education by itself, but having an affinity with numbers (rather, an intuitive sense of magnitude) is very beneficial to understanding the more advanced concepts. The open question (at least to me) is whether that understanding is nurtured best by calculus, geometry or Cartesian graphs.
“Hold onto it until there’s a quantum crack” is the same as it being secure. That’s far more secure than it being online, decrypted, and attached to the Internet like most phones and computers now.
> Do you think this is okay, or should things change?

This is not the result of accelerated classes, it's the lack of accelerated classes. Really it's the result of insufficient sorting. If we had good sorting, we'd be routing half our kids into trade schools where they learn useful skills, and route the other half of our kids into real college prep high schools where the slow track would do calculus and the fast track would do differential equations.

But instead, we send everyone to the same school, pretend that everyone should go to college, and then slow things down so that the slowest student in the room sets the pace. Then we don't remove disruptive students, hire social crusading teachers who themselves don't have a passion for the subjects they teach, and end up with our current outcomes. Most US high school teachers wouldn't even be qualified to teach at a gymnasium in Europe because even our standards for teachers are so low.

Yes, you have to do heroics to learn anything in a U.S. school. The solution to that is not to do more of the same that got us here. The U.S. used to have high schools with college-preparatory ("prep") emphasis that existed side by side with vocational high schools where you could learn a useful trade. High schools even used to have entrance exams. We've fallen a long way in the name of pretending everyone is equal - just in the last 60 years - and the end result is that we have a shortage of both skilled tradesmen and skilled engineers - now we need to import both, and immigrants come from all over the world and earn much higher salaries than the native born because they got a better education.

For example many systems in Europe still do good sorting, managing to give a good education to both fast and slow students by sending one to a gymnasium and the other to a vocational school, and the result is high paying careers for both.

So what's happening in California is merely the continuation of dumbing things down in the name of equality, an ideological process that has been happening for many decades, but taking it to such a level of absurdity and doublespeak that more people are starting to recognize how foolish it all is.

> I understand it's a massive scam but I didn't get why prominent artists I follow are getting into it in the first place.

Even highly respected artists are not immune to the appeal of making an easy buck. For instance, as legend would have it, Pablo Picasso created his "Poor Robbie" engraving with the express purpose of monetizing it, so that his close friend Robert Godet could quite literally use his printing press to whip out yet another "limited edition" print whenever he was short on cash and needed a quick buck.

It seems like a product with minimal stickiness. I think companies will use it for 1-2 months to have a good enough database of JDs, then send it to the hiring managers for adjustment and that’s it. It isn’t different than copying JDs from competing companies and adjusting them.
The silver non-radioactive lining here is that there does appear to be some institutional accountability - at least on the front line. Would be great if that accountability bled into the civilian world.
Nope. You can choose classes within your school, but if you go to a shitty school you're out of luck. This is why initiatives like this are so important. And comments like the original one that started this thread are ignorant at best, and when made into a political viewpoint, oppressive.

That's not a very technical article, though.

Are you calling this explanation completely wrong?: https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3491-explaining-precision... This is someone who should really know what they're talking about.

> What is important to note is that PBO only affects these three power limits. The effect on CPU clock speed is indirect, and PBO will never boost the CPU past the advertised clocks.

I think it's fair to say adjusting power limits falls under a deliberately broad "overclocking" umbrella, but it's not really overclocking, and doesn't require you to do the effort part of real overclocking.

> This is patently false! I don't know where you got this idea when I literally just quoted AMD saying it raises clocks past factory specifications!

Rossman raises some interesting points here that got me thinking.

I wonder if we need to split companies up that want to play across too many layers - Amazon owns the (1) infrastructure platform (AWS), (2) the marketplace (Amazon.com) and (3) is creating products in the marketplace.

If that were the whole story it might be ok. From the Reuters article it would seem that Amazon uses marketplace backend data to benefit their product design. Add to that Amazon.com's dominance and gravity and I have a problem with this.
There is an important school of design thought that you should design for the people with the biggest handicaps, and by doing that you make it the best for everyone. E.g. If you're making a car, make it easy to get in and out for the elderly and then it'll be joyously easy for everyone else. Another classic example of this is the "Oxo Good Grips" range of kitchen utensils.
Both of those have vim plugins. Highly recommend it. It gives you the power of an IDE, with the speed and much of the flexibility of Vim.

Why not just not trust the network or host at all. Put private connectivity inside trusted code using an SDK. Then the trusted apps can only communicate to devices/apps defined and nothing else. Untrusted code cannot access the trusted network as the network is acutally inside the apps/system.
What is also creepy is that people are devoid of any personal agency. Bosses like these are psychopaths who just test how far they can go. Forcing to install rootkits on private hardware is illegal anyway. Just say no, it is way harder to get fired than you think.
I mean, it's ok, I just used it for 10 mins and it seems to work well. I like the simplicity. For me, draw.io strikes the right balance of simple enough and free with enough features to actually replace stuff like Visio for my use case especially as the orgs I work for seem to be dropping the Visio licenses for all, which makes it essentially useless.
This should be a top-level comment, if not a post in its own right - it explained the entirety of the situation way better than TFA.
> Because "understand" has different levels. Your question can be reworded for Calculus itself: "How can one one understand calculus without understanding Real Analysis?"

I agree, but I think with the tools and technology we have today, I think more can be expected of kids. There are countries where every high school graduate is expected to have some experience with calculus.

Maybe in 50 years, real analysis will be in the purview of high schoolers, just like 50 years ago, and programming was not.

> Your question has the following bias because you happen to know both <X> and <Y>, so you then believe <Y> can't be taught without <X>. But we do that all the time at all ages. E.g. we teach kids how to find area of circles and spheres -- without teaching them calculus methods to derive those formulas.

I probably do have that bias, but I think a lot of things taught in school are automated away, yet they are still taught to teach “how to think”. There is software that spits out areas of circles and spheres and regression models and p values, but I would think the goal is still to provide as much background as possible to build as accurate of a model of the world as possible.

> There are several college professors of Calculus that also agree that substituting Statistics or Linear Algebra for Calculus at the high school level is not a bad idea.

I can see Linear Algebra being useful too, but I would actually hope high schoolers are graduating with introductions to both Calculus and Linear Algebra.
I have worked on a team trying to improve our hiring process before and there are lots of things we tried to balance such as the candidate's time, our interviewing engineers time, and trying to be thorough and fair. We obviously want to hire capable engineers but need to be mindful that senior engineers understandably don't want to have to jump through lots of hoops!

We found that doing a simple coding exercise (not leetcode) together is one of the best stages we have. It gives us a great insight into how they approach a problem, if they think about things before jumping in, and how they communicate. All those things are missed for a take home assignment.
