I was doing algebra and Russian math word problems in 4th grade (maybe earlier, it's been a while). What exactly is the logic of pushing back mathematical training to later grades? [1]

If shops are nearby, you go more often for a quick trip to the shop and buy much less. Lots of Dutch people go shopping on their bike, and that works perfectly fine. And people who really buy a lot, walk home with two big shopping bags. That works too. It has never been a big problem here.
It was implicit in your statement:

> Without pressure from grades, [students] won't do the work of learning.

If it were qualified with ‘many’ students, there would be no such confusion. Your comment, as-is, is trivially falsified by the example of any auto-didact.
A hypergraph over vertices V can be viewed as a subset of the power set of V, i.e. E ⊆ 2^V. Which can be represented by a bipartite graph over vertices (V ∪ E), where v ∈ V and e ∈ E are connected iff V ∈ E.
Wealth storage is a practical use case.

It's one practical use case. Bitcoin's value rests on multiple use cases and eliminating other uses cases reduces demand for bitcoin. And that effect also reduces bitcoin use for wealth storage (but might not eliminate, sure).
Your argument loses weight with the ad homonym attack.
It occurs to me that you might be able to actually run real tests, with real engineers.

Say you're in Iowa or Kansas or somewhere. You can probably hire software engineers, with 5 to 10 years experience, for $100K/year, maybe even less. Hire 10 of them, for two years. That's $2 million.

Assign them to random teams. Give them non-trivial projects that run, say, three months each. That gives you eight experiments you can run. Change the methodology, or the language, or whatever you're trying to study.

You say that you can't get funding for a $2 million experiment? Tell Microsoft, and Oracle, and IBM, and the federal government, that the things you learn will enable them to more efficiently create software. See if they'll fund at least part of it.

Its designers are revising it now and will subject it to 60 more days of public review. Once it’s approved in July, districts may adopt as much or as little of the framework as they choose — and can disregard it completely without any penalty."

Not easy to achieve though.

If one or more parties are "responsible" then public sentiment (amplified by social media) will bring the pitchforks.

That translates to political support and basically guarantees the election or increased support for certain types of politicians and response, which in turn will impact diplomacy.

It would take some supreme social engineering to get society at large to accept the idea of a blameless post mortem. It's really not part of the broader cultural lexicon. Even companies struggle and they are much smaller and simpler systems.

Responsibility and liability are intrinsically linked in the public mind.

Interesting, this neatly divides authorization checks into three-ish questions: 1. What roles are assigned to the user?, 2. What tags are assigned to the resource?, 3. Do the answers to 1 and 2 overlap? Each of which could have a cached denormalized index and should compress well.

Being somewhat manipulative, secretive, carefully managing flows of information and keeping an iron fist on the levers of control are table stakes for running a public corporation. If you don't have those skills, you will be replaced by someone who does.

When people describe upper management as a snakepit of politics, backstabbing, and backroom deals, this is why.
Here's a revolutionary idea that pretty much all of the world adopts, if students are having trouble with a topic, get them to do more of it, instead of running away from it.

I always find it hilarious that the pre college education in US is so messed up. Instead of doing Algebra 1, Algebra 2, calculus, geometry as one subject that you do in a year and then completely forgetting about it till the next time you have to do it, how about you do a little bit of everything every year from grade 8-12. Problem solved.

For e.g. in India you learn geometry, algebra, etc. every year from grade 6 to grade 12. i.e. You have a single subject called "Math" that teaches grade appropriate concepts in all the topics in math. Trains the mind gradually over 7 years instead of one big dump. In undergrad in USA, I cruised through most of my freshmen math classes because I had learnt most of it in high school.
Yup, 14-15. It's freshman year of highschool in the US.
That's pretty much when we actually start algebra here in quebec. Agreed that it's a bit late though.
Reminds me of the movie Idiocracy, but instead of wrestlers running the government, it’s wokesters.
I don’t understand all the negativity either. The article I read described a group of people who were genuinely interested in learning, so much so that the organizers do it for free. Sure there are no grades or degrees, but who cares? The education is the point, and really it’s the only point.

It feels like a lot of the comments boil down to “well my education was different so I can’t take this seriously.”
I’m sure this has some relevance but it’s gone over my head, could you explain?

Haven't used django for a year or 2 but used to use django-rest-framework's negotiation to get both json and html responses (was using inertiajs not htmx) and it worked pretty well. You can use decorators on the api methods to set things like templates. Here's an example:

@inertia("User/List")
@api_view(["GET"])
def get_users(request, **kwargs):
// ...
return Response(data={"users": users})

This can return JSON or HTML with the data injected.
> I feel like there's always something odd about some of these taught communication techniques, where I feel like there's a reason these communication styles don't come naturally to us, and there is a bit of a manipulative aspect to them.

This definitely can be true, but in practice these techniques shape your understanding of people. Motivational Interviewing and NVC both draw upon an attitude of acceptance—that is, treating the person you are talking to with accurate empathy for their perspective, support for their autonomy, affirmation of their strengths and efforts, and the belief that they have intrinsic worth.

Someone who is comfortable thinking of themselves as a manipulator could pretend to believe such things for the sake of coming up with the right thing to say, and if they're a skilled liar then they would likely get away with using the technique manipulatively at least some of the time, but if you interpret your interactions as if you are accepting of the people in your life then it is far more natural to genuinely think of them with an attitude of acceptance, which is fundamentally at odds with manipulative behavior.

That is, I would argue, the primary benefit of learning these conversational styles for a layperson: the language you use shapes the way that you think, and intentional non-violent communication begets non-violent thought until non-violent communication becomes natural.
It's hard to introduce Algebra much earlier than 8th grade - the students just don't have the mathematical maturity for it. What you can do though is challenge and expose them to slightly more complex applications of ordinary math (often stated via increasingly elaborate "word problems") that make the introduction of algebra a lot more natural when the students are finally up for it. You tend to see this approach in the various "Singapore Math", "Russian Math", what have you.
The web3 movement should be be inclusive of IndieWeb and federated ActivityPub ecosystems. Interoperability and open standards paved the way for all of this, and it'd be a shame to toss that out of the window for some pie in the sky vapor.

Long story short; if lab leak happened CCP will never admit it and if US intelligence community has some information or evidence of the lab leak they will keep it classified for decades. I can't wait to read news papers in 2039 and find out the true origin of Covid-19 pandemic.
One more nail in the public education system. This will amplify the inequality through middle class folks hiring tutors and such or just opting for private schools where the curriculum is “modified”.

I had a law school professor who attended St. John's for undergraduate, and while most professors at my law school tried (more than many other law schools, AFAIU) to stick to the Socratic Method, the two classes I attended of his were by far the most engaging on account of his proficiency with and commitment to the method. While most professors' biases, including their politics, tended to bleed through to some degree, it was only after I graduated and took the time to read over some of his own published scholarly works that I realized he held some diametrically opposed political and legal views to my own.

I also had the privilege of attending some Great Books courses at my high school and always regretted not applying to St. John's for undergraduate. I would like to attend some discussions organized by The Great Books Council of San Francisco (https://www.greatbooksncal.org/), though it's difficult to find time.
Good question. I think Scott wants quantum computers to happen so he's motivated to hype up claims of quantum supremacy.
Serverless is compute execution, pure and OS-less.

The genius of Cloudflare Workers is that it couples the one place Cloudflare beats Amazon (their global ubiquity and edge deployment) into a product feature that a customer cares about.

The real genius of AWS at all wasn't "We can sell a thing people will buy" but rather "We can sell excess capacity on a thing we have to have, in order to offer {other, core product}."

And Cloudflare has to have network connectivity and minimal latency.
> Also do you think the 0.01% of people in a western country have any obligation towards the 99.99% of people in that country?

In a patriotic, nationalist culture, yes. But if you explicitly reject things like patriotism and nationalism as being chauvinist or racist, then of course there is no obligation to privilege your countrymen over anyone else. So you have the same bonds to everyone, which is just another way of saying you have no special bonds to anyone.

Now in real life, we always have bonds to some group and that group is usually your own family first and your own tribe second, and it radiates out. So if you preach class consciousness, then you would have loyalty to members of your own class, etc. So then here, too, you can't expect the very top to have any loyalty to you.

It's really strange how people advocate for certain value systems without even taking a moment to think about the logical consequences of their values, let alone devoting serious consideration as to whether a given value system promotes long term human flourishing. This is also why most of these values have terrible consequences for human flourishing whenever they are adopted on a large scale.
It's not a cover story in all cases.

JKR was really spot on with the Dolores Umbridge character. For those who didn't read HP, the plot was that their ministry of education sent Umbridge to the (only) school with the only goal: prevent students from learning certain subjects. I feel like this Umbridge character is the inspiration for the radical left.

Interesting since the UK left the EU. But I guess they like the banking environment there? Still, I expect quite some red tape if they actually want to invest in EU companies from there.

Yes, all the effort all these mega corps put in jailing us could be put to do something actually positive.
The difference between education across the world and USA is that you treat algebra as one subject and therefore don't do it every year. In India, you had to do algebra starting grade 6 all the way to grade 12. The more complex the theory, the later you learn it. Makes sense to have that kind of gradual learning imho.
> but you think NSO group doesn't have a lawyer and just scrolls down and clicks accept?

I see this in companies I work for all the time, so, yes, I can see that being the case here.

(I'm not saying that's a good or professional thing.)
My parents introduced it to me at home around 4th-5th grade? So I was ~9-10yo? Not sure why delaying it will help, if anything the earlier the better. Everything I hear about "equity in education" seems to be making it worse, but more equally I guess.

Like another poster already mentioned, reminds me of the Harrison Bergeron story by Vonnegut - seems like we are rapidly approaching that point.

Seems Lockwise is being EOL'd in exchange for Firefox itself as the password management app.
Seems entirely arbitrary (if not false?). I was taught the basics of algebra and even trig (at least, how pi and radians work) in the 4th and 5th grade

Second grade in Poland I remember problems like this when learning addition and subtraction:

That's not how the English language works. The reason the adjective "all" exists is strong evidence that when one says students (plural) one is not saying "all" students.

If one meant "all" students, one would say "all students", "students without exception", "100% of students", "every student", etc.
I mean, most of that sequence builds upon itself, except geometry.
Why not just open to remote hiring across Europe then, rather than be location-dependent?
>make products/services more secure

Chooses the second one. I'm pretty sure this is just a PR stunt for Apple to try to appeal and brand themselves as "oh, we stand for security" and all the other bullshit.
> There's a reason why students cram at the end of the semester. Without pressure from grades, they won't do the work of learning. I know for a fact that I don't learn if there aren't exams and grades.

How much of that supposed "learning" is actually retained though? Could these pass the same test a year later without the opportunity to study for it?
> I'm not a legal expert but shouldn't that be stupidly easy to deny?

Anything is easy to deny.

Denial isn't sufficient to win the point.

> We can fully prove our claims.

Saying “we can fully prove our claims” is stupid easy. Being able to is harder.

> This is assuming NSO were far- sighted enough to actually create such a paper trail

But they probably weren't, because they didn't anticipate being sued in California based on jurisdiction gained via the iCloud T&C.
"A key sticking point in the approval process has been the framework’s recommendation that teachers refrain from labeling students as “naturally talented” in math. This has led to accusations from parents and educators that it holds back “gifted” students."

Along with NYC mayor deBlasio seeking to terminate that city's gifted and talented education programs as well as Virginia's recent approach to "equity" by decontenting gifted education. The examples demonstrate the illiberal trends we are seeing in the U.S. wherein novel concepts like "equity" replace "equality" and merit is seen as racist.

Precisely. Their lead over AMD is insurmountable only because of CUDA. They should feed the goose that lays such awesome golden eggs, and feed it well.
There's more value in flexibility than catering to the lowest common denominator. There's plenty of money to do so, unfortunately it gets leeched out before ever reaching the classroom. People learn at a different pace. Algebra should be available as early as 7th grade, and can be deferred to 9th for those with different aptitudes.

The reason many minorities and POC lag behind has nothing to do with race. Like many issues in the US there are effective ways to address this, none of which survive the compromises and competing desires of bureaucracy.
> Like a bible study, but without the bible.

Yeah, exactly. Or hackerspaces. Or OSS. Or presenting at DEFCON. (And, yes, these folks will include this project in their tenure/promotion cases and therefore indirectly benefit professionally even if they don't charge just like in the cases above.)

My only real "criticism" of this model is that the people doing this work shouldn't shy away from asking for "tithes"... humanities professors are criminally under-paid and plenty of folks would pay to attend these sorts of seminars (in the same way that most people tithe at church).
It's easy to do if you focus on bringing the average down. I can even show that algebraically.

As someone who's never been in an American school, what does algebra entail in the US curriculum usually? Is this the first time "solve for x" is introduced? How broad is the amount of teaching that happens in algebra?
