That the NSA picked the magic DES S-boxes in order to defend against differential cryptanalysis (which they'd discovered first), and that the NSA picked the Dual EC DRBG constants to backdoor it in a NOBUS type operation are both established facts.

Yes, curves in the Web PKI are largely P curves right now, but ed25519 is also standardized.

You're certainly free to trust the NIST curves, but my point still stands: there is no good reason not to pick such constants using a nothing up my sleeve algorithm, and the fact they didn't do that means they either know something we don't, they backdoored it, they wanted people to suspect they backdoored it, or they're idiots and decided to ignore established best practice for no reason. It's entirely possible the answer is the latter, of course :)
What does the logic domain have to contribute to human arguments? There is nothing, other than pure math, which follows logic. Nothing in our society is logical in a way that people arguing objective facts could resolve a problem.

Edit: I’m making no point about quality or otherwise of contributions or whether maintainers should accept them. Just that phrases like ‘bug ridden garbage’ don’t suggest a welcoming atmosphere.

The two books Peterson has published are topics he should be an expert in. I disagree that public speaking should have the same rigor as publishing papers. 99% of all public speaking is people just saying their opinion. And that is fine as well.

They state that reviews are not only meant to ensure good code, but also good coders. That means mentoring, but also merging the code if it's not perfect. Then, afterwards, when touching the affected part of the code again, cc the original author in a fixup PR. I have first-hand experience with this way of reviewing and I really like it.

Kind of sad that you are left with that impression. I would attribute the style more to our over-polarized conditioning by social media if anything. But beyond the trigger points the author gives you enough of "depolarizing" references (John Gatto, Ivan Illich, Diane Ravitch) The article itself is just a (hopefully for most an enraging constructive rather than merely "anti-") starting point.

My on the spot quick fix: This rigid and harmful "educational" system is best to overcome if children til the age of 12-14 are not exposed to it. Most can handle it pretty fine from then on. Starting with something resembling "Montessori pedagogy" and then just enter the formal system at the age of puberty.
It has worked out pretty well for Sergey Brin and Larry Page, to name a few. Wojcicki's mother is also a very interesting example.

The High School Survey of Student Engagement finds that 66% of high school students are bored in class every day. Seventeen percent say they're bored in every class every day. Two percent claim they're never bored. 82% say the material isn't interesting; 41% that it isn't relevant[1]. Middle school students are bored 36% of the time during schoolwork, versus 17% for other activities.

The trillions of neutrinos going through you are low energy neutrinos from the sun. We've been able to detect those for decades, and with only moderately pricey technology.

The neutrinos in the article are high energy ones produced from proton collisions at the LHC. Although we have ways of producing neutrino beams from accelerators, the LHC is not set up for that, and these neutrinos are sparsely produced, incidentally to the high energy hadron collisions being produced there.

In any case, the LHC cost at least an order of magnitude less than a trillion dollars. And the FASER experiment in particular which runs parasitically on existing LHC infrastructure runs on a shoestring budget, largely privately funded.

> But it is much more likely that they'll die from wars caused by climate change.

For kids in rich countries, it is much more likely that they'll kill in wars caused by climate change (or vote / pay for soldiers to do the killing for them).

Sadly, climate refugees will be an easy target for modern armies, and when voters see millions of starving people trying to cross their borders, they will listen to the politicians who call this an invasion that needs a forceful response.

Some places are already seeing these harsh political forces playing out, for example the UK, where the government is trying to make it illegal to rescue asylum seekers in boats[0] at a time when dozens can die on a single failed crossing.[1]

Well, I remember two-lane streets being single lane during winter because one lane was used to pile up snow. The ski resorts I learned skiing as a kid removed their lifts 20 years ago for a lack of snow, some even more than 20 years ago. The town with the single lane streets in winter? Last year my parents removed snow from their drive way 4 times during winter, and it was a snowy one there.

Another example, 8 years ago when we built our house, we did the roof between Christmas and New Year's Eve. We worked in t-shirts because otherwise it wasn't bearable at close to 20 ° C in plain sun. In dead winter, normal temperatures would have been more like -10° C. And somewhere around 20 cm of snow.

I remember 6 hundred-year floods from top of my head in the last 20 years. Climate change is here, it is happening. And at least where I live you see it everyday.

>Wait, so, you're going to start with Prussia's rather, shall we say, statist education system, and completely ignore Britain's similar industrial age education system? Why focus on Prussia, not Britain?

Because the essay is about public education, e.g. state funded education. Not the history of all education. Public education in the West was pioneered by Prussia in the 18th Century and then copied by other nations in the late 19th Century:

"Prussia was among the first countries in the world to introduce tax-funded and generally compulsory primary education.[3] In comparison, in France and Great Britain, compulsory schooling was not successfully enacted until the 1880s.[4]"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussian_education_system

Moreover the article traces the history of this movement by Horace Mann, an expert on Prussian education and the acknowledged "Father of public education" in the U.S.

> Today I learned that 54 years ago is "present day" when discussing education.

That's not what the essay says. Let me help in explaining what a period means: it ends one thought and starts another. Let me help explain what a paragraph does: it groups thoughts together. Often the first sentence of the paragraph makes a thesis, and then what follows provides evidence for the thesis. So he says it continues until the present, and then as evidence of this continuation he cites data from 1967, 1976, 1980s, 1998, 2008, 2016. That is meant to show continuation until the present.

Ask HN: How do you store your knowledge?
I recently started trying to be better about organizing links, thoughts, PDFs, etc so I can more easily pull things up when I only remember a fragment. So far haven't been able to find a great solution. My requirements are that it caches webpages (and PDFs), supports tags, and has a decent iOS app that syncs to the cloud. Bonus if it has full text search and the ability to upload files not from a URL.

I tried Pinboard and it's pretty good, but the caching is extremely unreliable, the full-text search isn't full-text, and the support is completely unresponsive. I tried historious and it also nearly fits the bill but it doesn't have an iOS app and the bookmarklet doesn't work on PDFs for whatever reason.

This plugin has a low install count for WordPress at around 26K. It’s a commercial plugin as opposed to one of the plugins in the WP repo which helps explain the low install count.

Most of the plugins that WP researchers look at are in the official repo with higher install counts, so it’s nice to see stuff like this get some code coverage among researchers.

Envato should really invest in their own automated and human vulnerability research. I think there’s probably a lot of badness out there among the commercial plugins but in many cases researchers have to buy the plugin to take a look.

I wasn't talking about Indian (I'll assume we are talking about India) coal plants, who are indeed benefiting from quite a bit of foreign subsidized manufacturing and coal exports by various countries. All I'm saying is that there's no need for any of these countries to subsidize or support that in any way. The Indians of course have some difficult choices to make regarding how they grow their economy and energy sector. Global warming sucks and it is going to hit them hard. There's no need to sugar coat that. We'd like them to stop burning coal and we'd especially like the Australians to stop subsidizing the process of supplying it to them.

Less subsidies would make coal less attractive for India. That kind of is the point. It's only attractive because we subsidize it. They'll need to find cheaper and cleaner solutions. Lots of countries are squeezing the coal sector hard now and it is rapidly disappearing. India will have to adapt. So will China.

The new German government for example intends to move forward the closure of remaining coal plants to 2030 apparently. As I'm writing this, I'm literally looking at one from the train window. It will stop smoking between now and 2030. Lots of wind mills around it. Good riddance.

It’s interesting that you class dark energy (the thing accelerating universal expansion) as, “We don’t know,” but don’t put gravity into that same category. They are both aspects of general relativity that we have failed to integrate with our other most successful fundamental theories, but if you asked an average person on the street I’m sure they’d put them in very different categories of understanding, as you did.

> If we asked this question in similar terms just a few years ago we wouldn’t have things like consumer VR and AR.

Things won't stagnate just because the sales pitch for a new product might be "no new use cases, it 'only' makes things smoother and a quicker and higher detail".

Getting that out of the way, not every increase in power is equally useful. It's a fair question to ask. VR is good and newly enabled but that doesn't mean we're going to get a bunch of tech with similar potential in the next handful of years.

> Phones in your pocket are performing on-device ML and AR in ways previously thought impossible. They’re being used to shoot actual movies that are shown in actual theaters.

The fancy algorithms are somewhat important to picture quality, but for photos slower would be okay and for video you could run it in post without much disruption.

> Low power tech like smartwatches wouldn’t be possible without these breakthroughs because ultimately faster processors also imply low power devices that can actually do decent amounts of computation.

On the other hand, we've had pretty complex devices that run on button cells available for decades. And a lot of that power is taken up by the screen and radios rather than processing. And... wait a second, the original Apple Watch came out so long ago, it was around 8x slower than the current model.

Yeah, the paper itself says that the heap was 240K. A 4K system isn't very helpful if your heap is 240K.

I'd like to see how this runs (if at all) with a 4K heap. Deceptively straightforward things like map and apply can cons up a whopping amount of intermediate garbage.

> A smart home can be reliable, useful and environmentally friendly.

Unless you have free spare electricity, I think it’s very difficult for smart electric lighting to be environmentally friendly. The controllers simply need too much standby power.

For example, https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/screen/product/lightsources/84743... is a 5W IKEA lamp that uses 0,3W when powered off. So, the lamp itself uses 4,7W, and you can leave that light on for about 1½ hour every day for the power that the controller uses. Said otherwise, you currently have to have such a light on longer than needed for 1½ hour every day to make up for the energy use of the controller. Add in energy used to make the controller and it gets worse.

There are days where I accidentally leave on a light for 1½ hours, but that’s nowhere near the average over all my lamps over a year.

Smart lights give you convenience. They won’t help saving the environment.
The problem is that even if everyone DOES come back to the office, you still end up spending your time on Zoom (or Teams in my case) in an office desk, as you inevitably have meetings with colleagues in different offices, countries or outside companies, suppliers and vendors - which negates the whole point.
That’s a good point. But taking that into account would require you to be able to predict the future price, with some level of certainty. What I’m thinking, and I may be wrong, is that past prices, or whether an item is truly “on sale”, don’t really help you to do that. If they could, then technical analysis in stock trading would be something other than superstition, which it is not.
What country? Also not sure if the answer will be too technical but how do they determine if someone who has a certificate doesn’t really have the vaccine?
It's a big problem to define two classes of people with different civil rights, the vaccinated and unvaccinated, and then to often update that definition. Maybe booster shots are a good idea, but people should get them voluntarily and not because of government coercion.
