More or less yes, except it's 9 more games. The match ends if someone reaches 7.5 points, and Magnus now has 3, so with 9 more draws he wins the match by 7.5 to 6.5. Going into the last game the score is 7-6 so if Nepo wins then the match is tied and goes into tiebreaks.

CORRECTION (see below): this was game 6, not game 5 (I had lost count), so current score is 3.5 to 2.5, and there are potentially 8 classical games left.
The letter isn't saying that all of them teach at all levels. It's true that I'm a lot more familiar with tech reputations than education reputations. OTOH education is an unusual field in that practically everyone has decade-plus full-time intimate first-hand experience with it; and more in the case of parents.

What do you think of the claim that the policy will increase inequality of preparation because better-off parents will bypass public education more? It sounds like you might have more light to shed on that.
The Google Translation is accurate in this case, it's just as vague in German as it is in English
The match was already lost at that point. Two moves before that, Stockfish 14 has mate in 49.
I’m curious for both an accurate and/or socially acceptable explanation too.

Some have suggested racism is cause for inequality, yet Asians do well in America where they’re a small minority.

Some have suggested culture: certain parents promote education more.

Some have suggested examining IQ more closely (though thinking along these lines is a doubleplusungood thought crime)
I know that because Magnus won, people will be heaping praise on him. But it is incredible how well Ian kept playing engine move after engine move to defend in the end game, while trying to keep time. Unbelievable the level of chess that's being played here.

Blender is such an incredible piece of software. It’s a great example to show people what open source can be.

I have a company where I design custom jewelry with my customers fingerprints (https://lulimjewelry.com) and I use blender on the backend to automate it.

NYTimes maintains a blender docker container and I run it on google cloud run to take displacement maps and use them to “engrave” my jewelry and output an STL file. The displacement maps are generated client side using fabric.js

It’s awesome that blender can be run headless in a docker container. I’ve also been looking forward to these new blender apps. It seems like you can specify a paired down interface for blender so you could have it purpose built for a single task.
In order to apply these supposed correlations, we would need to be able to determine the patient’s race. How do we do that?

(It seems to me that there is at least a hint of tautology in your comment. How can we talk about these correlations with race unless we're assuming that racial categorizations are meaningful in the first place?)

My wife got kicked out of PayPal for no good reason 15 years ago. I think she could have reinstated it if she sent a fax but she wasn't about to send a fax.

If you want to know why people aren't adopting 2FA, it's because we know it's just a matter of time until the hole that attaches your Yubikey to your keyring wears away, your Yubikey disappears, and with customer service that amounts to "talk to the hand" at many sites, it's a digital death sentence.
The secret is not hiring fungibles and instead hiring people you can trust. But also those sorts are in demand and your overlords will probably not give you the $$$ to hire them. So we're forced to make do with fungible talent and that's where it all falls apart IMO.
This is why we need medical payments to be capitated, not fee for service. The way medical care currently works has horrible incentives. Medical providers have an incredible informational advantage so patients just do whatever their doctor tells them. Since doctors get paid for doing things they routinely tell people to do things that are proven to have little efficacy. Medical providers should instead be paid per patient they cover. Especially now that hospitals are so consolidated it's relatively easy to tell if health outcomes are better or worse than average over the group of patients they cover. By punishing providers for achieving bad outcomes and sharing the savings they obtain by cutting waste we can drastically reduce healthcare costs.

Medicare and Kaiser permanente are leading the charge with this style of insurance and have already shown it to be cost effective while not reducing the quality of outcomes.
It’s just so ridiculous. However I’m way outside the target audience. I don’t get pod coffee, let alone DRM pod coffee.

It it possible to continue using Privacy.com without providing an SSN?

As I commented in a thread below, I had started using your service connected to a debit card via my credit union. Then was required to attach a bank account/routing number as the source for funding and didn't receive an adequate answer as to why (which is fine, but it's slower to process and it requires that I provide more sensitive information). I get that Privacy is obligated to gather certain financial information for regulatory purposes and fraud prevention, but it feels like I'm widening my attack surface providing that info.
Is it really more competitive to let companies like Apple pick winners in that space? Maybe (probably?) to an extent, at least in this circumstance, but it seems like there's more of a balance needed here.
You are being unempathetic and dismissive to the issues it raises, that is not a solution to the problem raised, nor is "Just don't drive". This isn't about the specific safety measure in question, the issue is invasive technology mandates in personal vehicles potentially excluding people from driving due to a desire to not be tracked by technology companies and government services. Imagine if they mandated the same thing on your smartphone. The answer could be "Don't use a smartphone", but that's obviously not an inclusive option. "Be tracked or exclude yourself from the modern world" is simply not a fair way to approach issues like this.

Consider as well that the US has built a society heavily based around personal car usage, towns and cities are built around it, jobs and education expect it of you. So you are born into a car-first society, but then given the ultimatum of tracking and monitoring or reduced freedom of movement.

Youtube doesn't f*** care. Where are you going to go watch your favorite content creators? Oh, they only upload on our platform? Thought so.

They can do whatever they want and they won't lose a single user.

I can believe there are shadow organizations that lack oversight. In fact, it seems likely.

But that these shadow organizations are maintaining power by surveiling and blackmailing congress people is a whole other ballgame and seems highly unlikely to me.

For one, it's likely that not every Congressperson has some deep dark secret that makes them blackmail-able. And pissing off the only group of people that could cut your funding and expose your shadow organization as well as bring oversight is not the group that you want to be pissing off.

I think game theory would indicate that your only chance of maintaining a shadow organization in the US gov for any length of time is going to be secrecy and maybe some heavily funded lobbying.

Are you aware of difference between iterated and non iterated games in game theory?

Good. Now play the free speech game in an iterated manner where there exist a chance that a Nazi party comes to power and that likelihood is being lowered by a making holocaust denial illegal. From history you should now that there is no free expression under Nazis and that it takes them losing a world war to oust them (unlike communist regimes which collapse easier).

Does the US model really have free speech if it allows a nazi party getting to power in the future?

That is the paradox of tolerance and is what people learned from the fate of Weimar and what people incorporated into democratic constitutions made after 45.

One unfortunate aspect of this that while some jurisdictions have this available, they are sticky with informed consent on day of.

I haven’t experienced outsourced cs that was effective beyond searching your support docs and relaying obvious answers.

> Mathematics is arguably (besides perhaps logic) one of the most pure, unbiased sciences one could imagine.

But teaching math absolutely is not. It is a very human process, helping students find handholds in what they know to make the next conceptual step. Absolutely breaking their minds with a new topic, then returning to it a month later and they find it obvious now. There are no platonic math lesson plans out there to tap into, and finding more effective ones has been one of humanity's jobs for at least as long as there has been written language.

(FWIW, real analysis is generally considered one of the easier courses in a typical math degree)

Clustering information is available in the object browser in the UI, as well as the results of a show table.

https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/tables-clustering-k...

Snowflake does not automatically cluster tables, because it is something users need to decide if they want to or not, as well as the best clustering strategy. In some instances it is better to cluster on one column to increase performance of loads, but a different key would benefit users querying the table. Which is the right choice? It's up to the user to decide. What if you want both? Create the table with the clustering key to optimize load, then create a materialized view that clusters by the keys best for the queries and Snowflake will automatically rewrite queries to use the MV if it makes more sense. Problem(s) solved.

You can access the query profile while it is running to understand which step is currently running and where your bottlenecks are.

https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/ui-query-profile.ht...

I use this often when troubleshooting long running queries, most often users forget a join condition and it results in a semi-product join. This is easily caught with high row counts coming out of two nodes with low row counts.
GP has a point: consider the limiting case of an extremely long payload on an extremely short centrifuge arm. The payload is basically rotating around its own center of mass already, before release. Put your left index finger on the middle of your right arm, rotate the whole thing, and release -- you'll intuitively see that your right arm must keep rotating.

But see my other response above -- this does not seem like one of the bigger issues when the centrifuge arm is much longer than the payload. And we already know this launch system will only ever work for small, non-human, durable payloads.

I just don't find it a convincing argument of harm to the consumer.

Let's look at restaurants & delivery apps as distribution channels. They charge 12-15 dollars through the menu on the app for a 10 dollar-hamburger if I had ordered in person, because the margins are different. It's not benefiting the consumer, it's benefiting the business and is actually a deceptive practice to the consumer.

I am also on about the same timeline as you and GP, and in my humble experience, it's really just about having a lot of code/prose "under your fingers", so to speak.

I can't remember where I read it, but the wisdom I heard for writing is that until you've written a million words, your writing won't be worth reading. This feels to me like the 10,000 hour rule.

Code has the added problem that the reader must have additional fluency in it on top of human language, plus a whole bunch of idioms that may or may not be in vogue, or mayhap haven't been seen outside the organization they originated from (think silos; copyrights, secrecy and only getting binaries really don't help here). In some respects, we have code written by Chaucers, but is only from 50 years ago.

I do agree with you that Pareto principle definitely applies, but wherever possible I try to make my code as understandable as possible, with comments and ancillary documentation showing the "why". What I really wonder, is where are the world-class codebases we can point to as exemplars of what readable code looks like? Who can we cite as masters of the craft that make code others understand easily? Is Knuth one of them?
What is with people and not wanting to install EGS on their pcs? Is it just the hip thing to do, they've seen it plastered all over reddit so they've decided to jump on board? It's another game store... they have 1-2 free games every single week, and they're not junk games. Get the free games on the website and when you come around to installing it someday you'll have a huge library. There was backlash against Steam when it first came out too, look now.
It was a couple years ago on maybe a FIRE subreddit, but in terms of expenses for aging parents who didn't save for retirement, or saved little and for the kids to pick up the expense, it works out to you needing 140% of what you think you'll need for your retirement to also help parents out. So = 100%(you) + 40%(them) of that for them. Luckily medicare helps out quite a bit, but long term insurances should be looked at and it may be worth a few bucks now to cover things later in their long lives.
Originally social security was setup to give people dignity after retiring for a FEW years after 60. But now people are living a lot longer and simply are not of the generation to have planned for that. You too may live far longer than you expect. If you've made it past 30, you'll likely hit 80, if you make past that, it gives you something to think about.
Dislikes are visible since it's an A/B test where they gradually put more and more people into group B until it's 100%. Only then will they stop sending the dislike count via the API.
>"Related, I also have a hunch that the UC system dropping the SAT is going to promote inequality."

My guess is that it will reduce racial inequality, but increase inequality based on parental income (class). Eliminating SAT scores will result in greater affirmative action, and the richest people of each race will be able to sculpt a compelling resume for their child; there will be no way for those with poorer parents to compete on the holistic measures.

Just a minor correction: I'm able to use the same Privacy card for x merchant for any number of y merchants, so long as it stays under the charge limit I've set for that card.
All I'm seeing in these sets is mostly standard pieces, possibly with custom prints or stickers. The waterfall pieces might be entirely custom, but pretty much everything else is something you find in a lot of sets. Most things are made from small & reusable pieces like before, but there are just more kinds of bricks and they are assembled more creatively (especially in more expensive sets like the Creator Expert sets).

Is this youtube staff purposefully deleting critical comments?

Or is it anti-spam algorithms getting triggered by people flooding the comments sections of videos with the same inane comments? And/or getting flagged by creators and other youtube users?

Frankly, I can't see most creators wanting their youtube video comments full of "BRING BACK THE DISLIKE BUTTON", and I could see lots of their fans being annoyed by such comments as well.

My guess is that 95%+ of youtube users are more annoyed by an extremely vocal minority disrupting things than they are the removal of the dislike button.
Vertical nodes don't easily allow for the port names to be displayed.
A somewhat similar point is expressed in Underwood Dudley's article "What is Mathematics For?" from the May 2010 Notices of the AMS [1].

Briefly, he argues that we greatly exaggerate how much math you actually need in ordinary life and in most jobs that people usually think of as needing math (and what you do actually need can be learned on the job), but nevertheless learning math is worthwhile and important because of what it teaches you about how to think.

It's hard to imagine now, but back in the early days of the US similar debates played out over teaching arithmetic in schools. Most people didn't need more than counting and simple addition and subtraction, so why make everyone learn any more than that? Those few who meeded more could learn it outside of school.

Maybe I’m totally off here, because I don’t really know that much about music theory. But I think this is exactly what happens in Flamenco. A Bulería song/performance has 12 beats, mostly 6/8+3/4, accented on 3, 6, 8, 10, 12. The chord changes on 3 and 10. The accents can change to literally anything, deviating from the 6/8+3/4, spanning multiple bars. As long as the chord change is there, or the 10th is heavily accented with a stop, when done. Because the chord change is asymmetrical, it never really feels like “just 3/4” or whatever is happening rhythmically.

It’s like a meta game to outwit each other, but always finding the common ground immediately.
> that remains to be seen

Oh man, for purely comical purposes I would love to see NSO actually believe that.
This is tricky to implement as it introduces other perverse incentives: namely that health care providers stop treating very sick people. You see this in some cases with surgeons already that have a very high success rate. They'll only opt for surgery if it's a relatively minor need, but if it's complicated or there are potentially complicating issues they'll pass.
I think open source will be tough because you're going to need a lot of saints to work on a search engine of Google's caliber.

Just to try to calibrate to your taste: do you drink any spirits neat? If so, at what proof?
