To me this is coming at the issue from the wrong angle. Sure, mathematics classes in elementary through high school have the veneer of teaching mathematics, but they also teach logical thinking and problem solving.

Identifying a problem (in math class the problems usually come pre-identfied until you tackle the dreaded story problems) and breaking down the problem into logical steps, are useful skills to have even if someone never does another math problem in their life.
To be brutally honest, this project being fourteen years behind schedule and two thousand percent over budget damaged mine. Selling a program to taxpayers as a 500 million dollar endeavor and then extracting ten billion dollars from them is the kind of thing that should put people in prison for life.

No, I didn't. I said:

> Here is a summary of over 400 studies demonstrating lockdowns are ineffective or harmful:

You're welcome to present studies demonstrating the opposite, but even if you can find 400 of them (and I doubt you can), the best we'd have arrived at would be equal uncertainty either way.

The longterm results of anything for which a long term has not yet elapsed can indeed only be guessed at. The fact I need to point this out to many people is striking in its resemblance to some kind of mass delusion on their part.

Well just more talent than ARM Ltd.

> Getting stock Neoverse cores is an incredible deal for them,

What's the incredible deal? IP licenses are the other part of ARM's business model.

> this is probably a big part of the reason they can offer cheaper services from their chips.

The problem is when other companies buy the exact same core or customers need single thread performance other designs offer, and then Amazon decides they can make a better design themselves. Like what Apple did.

> Arm cores aren't really all that behind, there are just tendencies for wildly incorrect comparisons (past Arm cores vs upcoming competition cores, scale-targeted configurations vs workstation-targeted ones, etc.)

Traditionally they have certainly been. It was a huge embarrassment that the small PA Semi start up could design their PA6T core in a couple of years from scratch and introduce it at the same time as ARM's A9 (which was a venerable and relatively efficient but pretty poorly performing core considering they had big mobile, PC, and server ambitions).

Things might finally be turning around very recently just with their latest core, but it's difficult to know yet.

It would perfectly fit my use-case if it supports the following flow:

2. When done, person A sends to person B

3. Person B looks at the result and provides feedback, which might include dropping items or making questions, or asking to add a column assessing a given feature of the product

4. repeat until converging and then archive

Very cool!
>died due to cancer/car accident

The WHO definition of a covid death means that they can only be counted as covid deaths if there's a clinical link between cause of death and covid.

Ergo, cancer and car accident victims with covid wouldn't be counted.

I suppose it depends on how your country defines it and if it follows WHO guidelines
My intention wasn't to exclude general mistrust. My purpose was to pick on a title that appears to me as missleading (and a bit annoying, I admit).

My answer: because most of the math we learn in school is useless.

I see a lot of math homework questions on Quora, because students copypaste their homework all the time:

What is log (3x +2)- log2 =1?
How do you prove that X^2-3 is irrational?
What are the roots of the equation x4−4x3+6x2−4x+4=0?

When on earth are you ever going to use any of that?

The word problems are no better.

In a group of 20 adults, 4 out of 7 women and 2 out of 13 men wear glasses. What is the probability that a person chosen at random from the group is a woman or wears glasses?

Mr. Tay had 20 female fish and 5 male fish in a pond. Mr. Tay’s father brought some male fish and put them in the pond. Then he found 1/5 of the fish are female. How many male fish did his father put into the pond?

In a school interhouse competition, 80% of the students turned up for the athletic competition, 60% turned up at the football match. What percentage of the students attended both functions?

These just aren't the kinds of questions anybody ever actually asks. The math required to solve them is pragmatic; are there no pragmatic examples they can come up with?

The fact that students are copypasting their homework doesn't thrill me for their ethics or their intelligence. But the fact that the problems themselves are so stultifyingly dull almost makes it seem reasonable.

It would be cool to have a shared community repository of site adapters, in the spirit of adversarial interoperability [1]. It's probably the most tedious and boring part of such projects, once it's abstracted away it would be much more fun to experiment.

Show HN: My Blog
I'm working on a reference guide here for exactly that: https://github.com/EternityForest/AnyoneCanDoIt/blob/master/...

It's basically "Here's some cool stuff math can do, and interesting historical anecdotes, and how to make a computer do it without actually understanding any of it, and here's what you could do if you actually understood it"

There may be errors because... I don't actually understand it and can't derive it myself, so I'm relying entirely on sources.

But I think there's value in a text on math by someone with no talent for it, since most books even for beginners assume people have a certain level of ability and treat things i would call very hard as obvious.

I don't have any excercises or material on how to actually DO the math, just how to use a CAS solver, I leave the actual teaching of math to those who understand it and focus on showing how it's relevant at all to those of us who don't want to go back and study for two years.
I say Bah to the entire censorship debate!

My critique of Substack is that our lesson from the last ten years is simple: speech should happen primarily on platforms that are prohibited from profit-seeking and run in the public interest. Censorship on these platforms should be prohibited, of course, but so should any form of profit seeking.

Our problem isn't censorship. Our problem is that our political/economic/religious/public health discourse is entirely mediated by corporations that are helmed by clever and well-educated folks and funded by the tippy-top of the elite financier class, who expect exceptional ROI.
Identifying it as a platform commission rather than a payment processing charge would nullify the argument that "Apple/Google/Nintendo/etc. is unfairly overcharging for payment processing" so it cannot be identified as such by anyone making that argument.
I think this question stems from a confusion as to what school is actually for. It seems to me that school is at least as much about orderly management of the social hierarchy as it is about teaching useful skills.

The reason why math is taught in school is not because math is useful (it is useful in certain situations, but this is only tangentially related). We teach it because it keeps students busy and out of trouble, and lends itself well to unambiguous testing and is therefore an effective tool for sorting students into the various social classes.

This all became clear to me when I was in the middle of my math PhD and wondering why all of the math courses I had taken did next to nothing to prepare me for actual mathematical research.

Viewed from this perspective, it’s obvious why we don’t use the math we learn in school.

> Math is incredibly useful

For what? It isn't useful for teenagers who are trying to get laid and be cool, at all. It also isn't useful for what 99% of humans end up doing, unless by math you mean basic arithmetic, enough to add and subtract on your 'smart' phone.

Math isn't useful. People who are amazing at math and are interested in it - they can be useful, but mostly not.

What they don't teach in school is how the real world works, because it is fucking outrageous. What they teach is how to go be a cog in a machine, run by idiots.

They don't teach it by telling you, they teach it by making you sit still, listen and do arbitrary, idiotic tasks for 12 years.

Sure they teach you a thing or two along the way, but anyone would learn more from doing anything else they were interested in for 12 years.

That's the dirty little secret. If you let people do what they are interested in, they'll learn math, programming, exercise, health, whatever, because it'll be necessary to achieve their goals. But you can't make people who've had a taste of achieving their goals slave away their whole life to help some idiot achieve theirs. Plus most parents are fearful idiots who never treat children like human beings, they treat them like their personal pet project whose goal is to line up with society's idea of success. Pathetic.

This is one of those really simple ideas that's really exciting - making me think of a lot of "what-ifs". Thank you for sharing.

I'd love for this level of functionality - but auto-sync to Google Sheets (my platform of choice for "more than a few rows that I might need to share") (or like I mentioned elsewhere, maybe Braintool, for further manipulation/browsing in Emacs/org-mode).

Maps support would be really cool to see the results in tabular form as well as where they are.

I also noticed it doesn't notice if you add the same site twice - so instead of editing an existing entry, it lets you create a second one (maybe both options are needed).

A browser extension has some key advantages - getting around some security issues like you mentioned, but you can also make the icon for the extension reflect when you've already stored data for a URL (Braintool, which I mentioned elsewhere, does this).
That would be a valid answer if all of senior management didn't regularly ask for, and receive, non-standard computers (usually lighter or more powerful laptops, sometimes just more expensive ones for no good reason).
As a teen in the early 80s I played with many FM transmitter kits, but liked one in particular (can't recall the brand, possibly Amtroncraft) which used a MRF237 and was rated 5W. I didn't have a FM antenna nor a VHF SWR meter to make one and test it, but I thought: "27*4=108, my mobile CB antenna should resonate...". So I put that CB antenna on the balcony, turned on the TX with an audio oscillator as input then called a friend living roughly 2Km away and his home on the other side of the building (no line of sight) asking him to tune his FM radio to my tx frequency, and he got the beep loud and clear. I couldn't believe that, I just had to hear it with my own ears, but I thought the beep would draw too much attention, so I connected the input to the stereo, put on a record (by KISS if memory serves), then went out and as fast as I could with my boombox walked to my friend's house and further; At some point the 1st side of the record ended so I was left with the carrier alone, but that was a success.
I had too much fear of operating it however; the seventies were gone, piracy was being taken very seriously and our equivalent of the FCC, then my father, would spank my ass badly If I was caught, so after a few other tests I put that transmitter in a drawer and pretty much forgot about it.
Sorry for the confusion, I was referring to everyone at the same level of seniority.
Rewiring the wire-wrap backplane of a (in comparison) low-power computing system from 60 years ago with just a wire wrapping tool and wire with only 2 steps is 'extremely simple' if we were to use your measurement of tools, steps and material, yet I doubt anyone replacing their phone batteries could do that... It's all relative.
Why don't we use the [History|English Lit.|Chemistry|etc.] that we learn in school?

As a generality, isn't the math taught to most teens in public schools aimed pretty squarely at preparing them to take the standard calculus courses in their first couple years of college? If so, hardly surprising that most ex-students don't notice much use for that stuff in the real world.

And since the social function of that is usually to demonstrate that you're determined / focused / upper-class enough to successfully slog your way through it - gee, what would be the point to remembering or using it after getting your "made it through" bragging rights?

> but to be fair to the SCOTUS, they were being asked to endorse a novel method of injunction, not barring a party, but a shutdown of the court hearings, essentially a new trick to counter texas' new trick

Their ruling on injunction was clearly along republican party lines, and not on the lines of their own reservations about legal conservatism. It's okay to call a republican supreme court what it is, we all know that these justices wouldn't hesitate to issue a novel injunction if it were second amendment rights being trampled.
Also, replace is maybe not the best word here since a lot Gemini enthusiasts believe some things that are possible on the Web don't need a replacement because we would be better off if they didn't even exist.

I also disagree that Gemini is a web replacement as in "everything the Web does Gemini can also do", when read "replace" this is what I think and this is clearly not true. To me it's more like "Some things the Web can do, Gemini also can and the things it can't do aren't really desirable anyway because they can be abused to do things I think is bad and evil"

I think this is an appropriate way to deal with any ultimatum. It's a much weaker form of "don't negotiate with terrorists". It's in no organizations to embolden people into bullying them into something. I wish we saw more of this.

(As a hedge, most times when I see something principled like this happen, there is some small blowback and instead of letting it pass, the organization capitulates and reverses their decision. We'll see if that happens here)
This works on "newbies" until they realize what's going on and then they learn to see through it and begin to resent not only this "trick" but also the people who attempt to use it, which maybe works if you keep churning through people--and this is an industry with enough new blood being injected constantly that maybe that even feels "sustainable"--but I still feel like the people who do it should be judged harshly.
