Cool story! I didn't know this happened. I don't think we ever had such break ins in national TV in the Netherlands.

I know some of my friends in the 80s were able to "hack" into the cable network in my town, basically they just broadcast into the terrestrial receiver at the cable station after the real transmitter went down. In those days broadcast transmitters still switched off when programming was finished.

Because the air was clear then there was very little power needed and thus little chance of getting caught. I used to speak to them on the legal 27mc CB because I was too chicken and they'd speak back to me in glorious stereo FM. Full duplex of course. It was fun! Many pirate "radio" stations too.

I don't think the cable company ever bothered to catch them as it all happened after hours but eventually they added time locks so the uplinks just went down after programming. Still they were lazy so often it was possible to catch an unused uplink or an incorrect timer for years. What helped was that not many people actually used cable for radio. So it wasn't complained about much.

Eventually the internet happened and people just lost interest...
How many of the employees in these companies that make the GDP so high were born, raised, and educated in California?

You know damned well that it's not many. California is a success because of immigrants from other countries and states. Think about the founders of the current top valuation tech companies in California. How many were raised in California? Zuck? Nope. Maryland. Sergey Brin? Nope, educated in Maryland as well. Larry Page? Nope, raised and educated in Michigan. Steve Jobs was educated in California, 60 years ago, so you've got that. Not relevant to this conversation. What about his successor Tim Cook? Oops, he was raised and educated in Alabama. Reed Hastings? Nope, raised and educated in Boston.

So while the above proves your final point, it basically highlights the fact that California does well for structural and historical reasons, like the fact that many VCs required any company they invested in to relocate to the Valley, and other things like network effects.
Both is the best option. Unfortunately there is just about nothing you can do to prevent a government sponsored org from building exploits from scratch to target certain individuals. Apple is doing pretty well at protecting the average person from mass malware like we see on windows and outdated androids.

> Yes, the framing is unnecessarily antagonistic, but if we took the white supremacy dressings off of it I doubt the ideas inside would be divisive at all.

The claims about white supremacy are not merely dressing. The ideological claims are the only interesting part of the document. All the pedagogical stuff you cite approvingly is just the same empty fluff that has dominated US education since the 1960s.
> That said, I think startup ecosystem 2.0 will be centered around Austin. It will look very different than the California startup scene, but it will be just as transformative (if not moreso) imho.

I've heard that before. "look at X, it's the Next Silicon Valley".

Every time, it was someone trying to sell me something [0] and every time the correct move has been to keep investments in the Valley.

Maybe this time it'll be different.

Denying high-preforming, or average preforming students access to appropriate education in the service of "equity" reminds me of this:

Is moving away from Calculus in high school such a bad idea?

I took AP Calculus in high school and studied physics in undergrad so I've done a lot of calculus, but it honestly seems like a pretty niche subject when I think about it. It's hard to think of any times that it's applicable in my life any more. Some of the concepts are very beautiful, but a lot of things like the rote solving of integrals to get to a closed form solution can get pretty tedious and can be done by computers these days anyway.

At the same time, I didn't take any statistics or computer science in high school and really only had my first introduction to programming in college. Both of these seem like topics that should be prioritized above calculus for most high school students.

>Do you drive?

I sometimes drive in areas of the US where exits and rest stops are not close together.

Could be 30+ km to the next one. Maybe 50. One very dangerous thing that drivers do is keep driving to the next exit or rest stop when they are falling asleep.

>In non rural areas, you don't typically have open land to the sides of the highway. You have a wall

It makes little sense to me to qualify advice on highway driving with "non-rural areas" because by definition you can't drive very far and still be in a city.

However, be that as it may, your generalization is not the case in my part of the world (US). There's commonly grass beyond the breakdown lane, which might be mown, and the land may slope up or down after that. There are often guardrails, particularly when there is a steep slope down, but certainly not always.

I'm specifically referring to the highways that run right through the city I live in. As you get into the city, the guardrails are heavier duty; of course there are more bridges and stuff. But there are still places they don't have guardrails and there is a fairly substantial strip of grass between the road and the trees.

What you have as you get closer to the center of my city is, there's still greenery and trees on either side of the highway, but there is a strip of concrete at the edge, with drains. If there's an embankment, obviously you're not going to pull off there.

Very late reply so you might never see this... but I have a full complement of RB and GH hardware, and a long-term project I'm investigating is ensuring those rhythm games can always be played via Dolphin even once all the 'toy' hardware is dead and buried.

Specifically: I want to add direct support for proper e-drums played via MIDI into Dolphin, without the various hacks to get it to emulate a keyboard etc, and compatible even with the Pro Drums mode in RB3.

Guitars are simultaneously an easier and harder question: would require a DIY guitar, but can be fed into Dolphin just by emulating a HID device.

Just this week we saw the news that 2 men convicted in the murder of Malcolm-X were actually innocent. How is it possible that TWO innocent men were convicted as guilty of the same murder in the same trial?

I think that is only possible if there truly was a conspiracy to convict them, rather than investigate further to find out the real killers.

I think more than three people must have known that these people were innocent, since there really was no evidence against them was there?

Learning about CRCs was fun for me. I had to dig into the math to figure out how to calculate the 32 bit ethernet CRC for packets being sent across a 256 bit bus for a 10 Gbps NIC I implemented on a Xilinx KC705 a few years ago. I found this guide from 1993 quite informative: https://zlib.net/crc_v3.txt

Did you take standard high-school Algebra 1 in 7th grade? Algebraic concepts are often taught as early as 3rd grade, but much of it is considered pre-Algebra.
Yes, this happens. My son could not take calculus in high school because he was mislabeled in 8th grade. The 8th-grade decision has had an impact on his college career.

The school system has as a track of classes leading up to calculus. A student can jump forward on the track by passing a test on the next class in the track.

Because there were other demands on my son's time, it was not practical for him to learn a year's worth of material outside of school time.
You might like to gawk at a modern F1 bargeboard, which have become astonishingly complicated recently.

The point about steering angles was, if I recall correctly, McLaren's 2018 car's steering disrupting the airflow to the sidepod and bargeboard i.e. they got the placement slightly wrong so when the car was cornering the airflow would inst

One thing that's kind of amusing, is that if you ask older members of FSAE (student racing car competition) teams, nearly everyone has a story about either themselves or a competing team designing an aero part only to discover that the part was basically just for the designer's curiosity/ego than any real aerodynamic performance on the car.

There’s no slippery slope. Twitter will censor posts for misgendering people. Islam has pretty clear views on the separation of men and women, their separate roles, marriage (Mohammad was not a fan of single people!), etc.
I don't think there's any harm, and I'm happy people are doing things they enjoy. I don't think this project is really comparable to a conventional school, though, so I don't know why the author takes shots at that system (I mean it is obviously a very flawed system, but I don't see what new to learn about it from this experiment).

I mean, no grades, no cost, no degree at the end, four people per 'class' -- is it closer to a conventional university, or a book club? Not to knock book clubs -- they are great (especially if people read the books for once), but they probably won't solve the education system either.

To your example, imagine what would happen if every retiree hoarded their money under their mattress instead of allowing capital to be reinvested. Inflation is an incentive to keep money moving. Generally, we can't keep prices at a perfect equilibrium with economic growth & deflation is much more dangerous than inflation (think about holding debt and expectation of capital returns). Also, social security in the US adjusts for inflation so a retiree will see more money as time goes on.
Beginning algebra is more of a language learning exercise. There's not much content; it's more about notation and manipulation, which will be used later.
Looked at that way, it's helpful to get that done reasonably early.

Calculus? I wonder how that's taught today. I had way too much stuff about summing infinite series, which you don't really do very often. I think calculus should be taught in conjunction with Newtonian physics, so you see how it predicts what happens in simple physical situations. This provides motivation.

Sure. The way I presented it was not an accident (abstract with little scaffolding).

The question with the software that I have is how much is actually understood. Specially, how much of what was done can be applied in a different context. Ideally consistently, accurately, and without any scaffolding. I’m guessing the answer might be “a lot” for a typical HNer’s child (or maybe not), but it rounds to zero for the average or lower 5yo.

I would also be curious about how much success can be had with just rapid trial and error rather than learning and applying. 5 year olds can be great at the trial and error part while not actually developing and retaining much understanding. I could be very off the mark with this speculation, but a lot of my experience in this area makes me think I’m not.

> "There’s a huge problem with math instruction right now. The way things are set up, it’s not giving everybody a chance to learn math at the highest levels"

This really feels like they lowered the bar and are now excited that more people are able to jump over it.

Also, that last quote is infuriating. Nobody will have a chance to learn math at the highest level now, at least not in high school.

Rather than lift those who struggle, let's drag down those doing well, or so it seems.
Not being sarcastic, I think you misunderstood the political environment of the US right now. The media and the bureaucrats are not seeking truths but narratives. And doing more is immediately labeled racism because well, you don't appreciate the hardship and systemic racism that the oppressed have to endure.

As for why shooting basketball 10,000 times day is considered heroic hardworking while doing 10 math exercises a day is considered being privileged and cramming and prepping and Asian? Well, that beats me too.

I think this is pretty misguided. If reliability is at all important, you need controls in place so that a single person making a single mistake won't cause an outage. Software engineers are human and humans make mistakes. That's just the reality. That isn't indicative of a lack of trust, but rather an acknowledgement of the constraints we are operating under.

Its possible that people subverting these processes are doing so because there are some actual flaws in the processes, but generally it is just as likely that they are being lazy or just don't think there is any way they would ever make a mistake. That isn't to say that it isn't worth evaluating the processes and the tradeoffs they impose, just that I think you are definitely throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I have seen the same loss leaders at “traditional” supermarkets, but it’s also true that stores like that are disappearing from rural areas. And they’re usually losing out to a Dollar General or Dollar Tree. So even in head-to head competition, dollar stores are meeting some perceived need.

Then, in the suburbs, it seems grocery stores are trying to go up the chain by focusing on prepared foods. The cheap cafe has been replaced by bar covered in shiplap and the fruit trays run $25 after labor.

> Who said anything about accurate?

Sometimes they had wooden shape templates... roll the part between the wheels until it seems ok, put it on the template, see where it's not quite right, back on the rollers, back on the template, back on the rollers, until the part was accurate enough.
So much dialogue is around how to pace and sequence the traditional math curriculum (geometry, trig, precalc, calc). Are those still the most important things to teach? And do they need to be taught and tested through working through the same calculations framed in the same narrow scenarios? When's the last time you solved a quadratic equation or did integration by parts in the real world? The concepts may be important, but is chugging through trigonometric identities really helping kids?

I use the concept of a derivative often, and I'm glad it enriches my understanding of the world even if I calculate derivatives almost never. But there are so many other useful math concepts which might be better to communicate than just doing exercises around techniques (e.g. can you apply the quotient rule correctly).

Concepts I wish we emphasized instead:

- stats: uncertainty, confidence intervals. (In)dependence of variables. Correlation.

- discrete math: enough to communicate the concept of structure being preserved. Enough combinatorics to understand why some families of structures might be huge. Basic concepts around graphs.

These ideas don't necessarily need to be sequenced. You can deal with plenty of integrals while learning stats, but you don't have to.

What if our concept of woke math involved introducing posets and relations and cases where comparison isn't possible? What if we stopped talking about high school math as a single ladder and consider it more as a landscape to explore? By desequentualizing topics, maybe upper class hs students can actually catch up by taking more than one math class at a time?
I'm surprised to see the founder describing their company as Deep-Tech, and I wonder if that description hindered their ability to raise. Not saying it isn't a technical product, but as per Wikipedia, deep tech is "based on substantial scientific or engineering challenges".
This largely upon skimming seems pretty boring ideas like “it’s possible to teach math better in high school.”

It’s a trip that it’s couched in language that apparently is pissing a lot of people off (and bringing up some resentment about race in a direction that I find somewhat surprising.)

A lot of folks seem to be posting that if kids have to wait a little longer, it’ll somehow negatively impact all of the super smart 13 year olds’ ability to learn at maximum speed and adversely affect the talented and bright students that just want to learn math due to the fact that the school is somehow withholding knowledge from these poor kids!

I was a VERY gifted young student that was on to trig in 8th grade, pretty much entirely self taught with what I could find online (in the mid 2000s). It turns out that the fact that something wasn’t taught at school didn’t “hold me down” or “delay my education.”

The anger around this seems… weird. The insistence that this is actually harming 8th graders sounds like somebody who hasn’t actually asked an 8th grader if they give a shit, while pearl clutching about the status quo not being exactly maintained.

I think it's the DSL aspect. For anyone who's every try to write a language, it's not trivial. The people who do PL research in academia are typically mathematicians in the comp-sci department, whereas those who do machine learning ( which is "deep-tech") are usually engineers practicing statistics (poorly).
This is also taught in second grade in the US.

Raoul Pal's Macro Framework [audio]
Mathematical Statistics typically requires Calculus, both as an institutional and pedagogical requirement.

It is understandable that some students do not wish to pursue further mathematical studies, but should that translate into the requirement that all students must be at the same level? Or that Algebra shall not be offered in middle school? Note that schools are already free to offer Statistics or Computer Science, neither of which are respected by universities.

It is very difficult to create a program with sufficient reliability that universities are willing to accept some form of credits earned or requirements met.
