That's not the issue. College algebra courses are super compressed, they're basically trying to teach the whole of junior high + high school math in a single semester. That's barely teaching, and the natural outcome of such a cursorily taught course is to act as a 'weedout' course.
I started making something similar back in the time when I was trying to learn some php (self-hosted LAMP setup). Stopped mostly because I wasn't able to find a proper English dictionary for NLP.

Second reason was the inconvenience of opening my local webpage and clicking "new entry", then selecting from my tag suggestions or adding a few more new tags.. every time I wanted to add a new note.

Creating a new text document, copy-pasting into it, then closing it and clicking yes to save, then drag and dropping it onto my "notes" folder on my Desktop, somehow seems easier... No titles, no tags, but I could always rest assured that, when I'll need it, It would be there, somewhere in that "notes" folder, even years later.

Jokes aside, I didn't actually realize people are into these "knowledge management" systems.

I was wondering if one were to open source a self-hosted app like this, what license you could chose such that individual people would be able to install/modify/use/etc a copy for personal use, even commercial, even if employed, even work computers. Yet disallow a company from modifying/customizig/deploying it for multiple employees, have the company pay a formal fee? Are there any examples of such licenses in the wild?
I very well may be wrong about this, but I believe thats not exactly true. Parker required the fasted launch as of its time because it had to shed the momentum of the earth that it started with to be able to fall into that gravity well.

quoting from reddit:

> You may be thinking of the Sun as a big gravity well and how you can just drop things in a well. But orbits don't work anything like that at all. Sure if you are stationary relative to the Sun then you'll fall right into it. But anything that leaves Earth is very far from stationary. You're going at 30 km/s 90 degrees off your target. Possibly the first idea many people think of if they want to hit the Sun is to cancel that 30 km/s of speed, and sure it'll work. But you need 30 km/s of delta-v. On the other hand, to escape the solar system from Earth you only need a velocity of 42 km/s relative to the Sun, of which you already have 30 km/s. So you only need to increase your speed by about 12 km/s. (And for both cases add one or two km/s to counter Earth's gravity.)

Creativity as Divergent Thinking
Yeah. I've been writing code as a job for a decade now and have never needed to factor a quadratic equation. I really just needed a course that helped me get introduced to programming (which I ended up using a LOT in the domain I went to school for: geography and remote sensing).

I believe I made a mistake, my previous comments are about CGI not FastCGI.

Also I am not an expert so I will not be able to prove anything, but I can try my best to express my opinions.

I do not think that node has any problems with FastCGI

So basically Node's start latency are too slow for CGI and FastCGI is bad for a worker platforms (or for any multitenant offering).

The reason is that cloudflare doesn't want to keep track which workers are for which customers and want to offer a clean slate environment for each request.

This either means spinning up new processes or using some other in-process isolation techniques. All javascript workers platforms I know use V8 isolates, which (I believe) node does not offer.

PS: I made also another mistake, it looks like deno offers a worker platform on V8 isolates. https://deno.com/deploy

The JHU site that’s linked is reporting case fatality rates, not infection fatality rates

It’s also not estimating case under-reporting like CDC is

I think jumping straight to misinformation is a bit strong here, but it’s important to make fair comparisons and discuss the context of the stats along with the raw numbers
I think it strikes an emotional chord with the ongoing trend of private capital enclosing every social Commons it can.

While I don't think it's the right hill to die on (Wordle is a trivially cloneable public good; NYT's actual actions have been relatively mild; there are seventeen trillion bigger fish to fry) one can certainly understand a visceral reaction (violation of sanctity) when "community" bleeds into "corporation", even by the tiniest bit.
Ask HN: Do you do better on interviews on days stocks are up?
I can't help, but notice a correlation between how I "perform" on interviews and how the stock market is doing. I feel like the days stocks are down I somehow don't do as well on interviews. Note I don't check the stocks before the interview. Yes, I am saying could it be that the people who are doing the interviews are affected by the market and if so would it be wise to not do interviews on down days by postponing the interview or another way? After all many people in tech have a stock portfolio and many check them regularly and this could affect their mood, etc.

Another strategy would be to not do interviews during high stock market volatility times.

I mean, I'm sure your joking, but the reality is that I know folks who live that.

From the places I grew up, I can look at Townes or Blaze Foley or any number of folks who drank themselves to death following that line of thought. And those are the "successful" ones.

At some point I realized that the main difference between me and the dudes drinking themselves to death on the Armadillo Farm was that I didn't have to take amid-week $50 gig playing "into the mystic" and "brown eyed girl": we were all still playing the same shitty $150 gigs on Saturday afternoon.
Definitely agree with this. At least for me when taking undergraduate math, once you get to the proof based stuff, often times seeing the answer was in no way helpful. You either knew you proved it correctly or you weren't able to do the mental gymnastic it required to get there and seeing an answer was likely not going to help. I usually just had to re-read the book and try different things, take a break maybe, or something before I would finally get the intuition or whatever to really grasp it.

For calculation based math, which this course sounds like and based on a sample test I looked at, more or less is, having some subset of answers would definitely be helpful. I am not sure why they would make it more obtuse than it needs to be. I thought the course I took on multivariable calculus and linear algebra were quite easy but the number of people who dropped math entirely after those was pretty drastic. I don't think you really need to make these classes unnecessarily hard to weed people out. They'll do it themselves anyway.

This is almost exactly the same thing I have been teaching for years. Spot on. I call the morning/afternoon work routine a "commute" because it helps your brain change gears. The only one I didn't teach was "eat meals" because the people I was teaching had scheduled break times.

I disagree. 'Mathematical maturity', to me, means:
There is no specific advanced prerequisite knowledge, but you need to be able to follow something technical.

As an example: you'd reasonably expect a student with mathematical maturity to know what a set, the Cartesian product of two sets, and a function are. That's high school level math.

From there you can define a ring and a module over a ring, in like 5 mins.

So at that point the Prof, strictly speaking, told you everything you need to know to start studying modules.

Of course, many students will be like whaaaaaa?! When a ring is defined. But here's the point: Mathematical maturity does not mean that you already know what a ring is, but when the Prof defines a ring, you are following along.

Anyway, my point is that there is nothing specific that you need to know.
Yeah, it's a side business for me. Pre-covid, I was making $10-15k a year playing on the weekend. Kind of a fun thing to chase too, as if you're playing paying gigs you get to play with better musicians,
I mean, out of most of the analogy examples posted to HN, Factorio is actually a good one. The observations that the writer makes are all immediately apparent when you fire up the game, and there isn't anything here that I'd call a "deep cut" or a strained metaphor.

Factorio can literally be renamed "Iterative Development: The Game" and players wouldn't find anything confusing about any of it.
I haven't benchmarked it, but it could probably just be a drop-in replacement as I believe the arguments are compatible. Would be interesting to try!
> Are they asking you to choose between salary and equity?

Kind of yes. Market rate (I'm also FAANG) with less equity or vice-versa. The equity ceiling is at 10%. The way I'm thinking about it is that given the amount of risk at this early stage with no prototype, customers or revenue and the amount of work involved, the expected pay-off for the time and stress isn't quite transformational for me.

I don't believe in giving up work-life balance and cutting my pay in half for the "startup experience". I wouldn't go pay 100k+ tuition for a degree in "startups" - whatever that means.
While true, what you're saying is totally tangential to whether or not large numbers of people will treat AIs like they're conscious.

Expecting masses of people to defer to subject matter experts, contrary to what their feelings tell them, isn't a bet I would have much confidence in given the current climate.

I understand the negative points about airtags, and one negative point I thought of but never see mentioned is the fact that all iphones are opted in by default to use battery life and data (however little) to operate the findmy network. In fact not many non-tech people realize that a) airtags work globally, not just near your iphone and b) relay data through any nearby iphone and not somehow directly to apple. People are usually blown away when I show them my map with a bunch things

But as a forgetful person, I got a pack of four on the day they were released. I used one when shipping an important, time sensitive and expensive item to a client. It was a huge value compared to the usual tracking of packages. I could see exactly when it moved from customs to an airplane, and surprisingly the location even updated in flight! I used and am still using this data, many times to confirm when the item was actually on the way or not, and if related travel and work can be done or not. It's saved thousands of dollars.

Another time, I was just about to board a train from Paris to Luxembourg when my iphone notified me that I left my bag behind (at a cafe in the station). I bought 8 more after that and put them in anything of value I have the experience to leave behind somewhere. Bags, ski boots, glasses case, inside the ear cup of my good headphones. Come to think of it, I should put one in my work notebook. Early in my career I had a work trip to sketch all of the dimensions of some heavy machinery so I could automate it (replace actuators and control them with an added PLC). I lost the notebook and had to go back, which was probably a $20k mistake in travel costs + not working on other projects.
> Up and down are perceptions that we evolved specifically to indirectly sense gravity.

I disagree. We evolved to orient ourselves in the environment that we operate in. Does a giant squid perceive up / down based on gravity or pressure differences in the water depth..?

> it's like saying that thermometers have nothing to do with temperature

I also disagree with this analogy. Gravity is a force of nature, unlike a thermometer which is a human invention to describe one’s environment.

Classic zero sum thinking. Spacex doesn't cost money, it makes it. How much money do you think Musk put into it? The answer is ~100 million seed. It is now worth 35,000 million.

How far do you think that 100m would go to develop fusion. The ITER project alone costs 65,000 million.

I agree with that sentiment. Also I would estimate that AI would eliminate humans long before it would or could reach the level of what humans are. So we wouldn't exist to see such a world.

There isn't currently a way to display the graph without logging in because graphs require a bit of computation on the server side and I'm a little hesitant to open up a potentially computationally heavy API endpoint to unauthenticated sessions; but logging in with any user should be enough to view the graph of another user's public notes.

Here's my graph for instance: https://windi.app/people/zhy/graph
I ran a few very successful web sites in the years before and after the advent of Google AdSense. This struck me as a strange thought:

If Google shut down their display advertising business, web publishers overall would make far less money in the short term,

It was Google that destroyed the online display advertising business with its auctions and race-to-the bottom strategy. Before AdSense, we would negotiate with local advertisers and partner with national advertising networks. Local ads we sold got us $50-$115 CPM. National networks, like TribalFusion, got us $15-$40 CPM, with occasional specialty campaigns that could bring in up to $100 CPM. I remember the days of configuring our network accounts to reject ads that paid less than $25 CPM.

Google turned all that into pennies. When you put AdSense on your web site and see that you're only getting 5¢ CPM, you know who to blame: Google. Even the hated "Punch the Monkey" paid two orders of magnitude more than 95% of Google ads today.

and it's not clear how long recovery would take.

It took three to five years for Google to destroy online advertising. Perhaps it will take the same amount of time for it to recover.
> I suspect that many people who are good at number theory can probably wing it in a literature course.

You may be right, but the worst grade I got in school (as a Mathematics + CS major) was in some absolute throwaway, freshman-level liberal arts class (Intro to Japanese Popular Culture) I took in my third year!

Don't underestimate the value of staying within one's wheelhouse.
I'm always opposed to government funding the arts.

Mainly because if the government funds it, then they become the customer. Arts programs become designed to appeal to whatever the current set of civil servants think is worth funding. Academics get pulled in and join the bubble. The whole mess starts moving away from any kind of relevance to wider society and disappears up its own intellectual orifice.

And the sheer arrogance of arts intellectuals saying "we're invaluable for society, so we should be paid by the government to do whatever we want to do" beggars belief.

I'm way happier for the market to decide. There are viable business models out there for good quality content with niche appeal. It doesn't all have to be mass-market pap to be commercially sustainable.

Failing that, there's always UBI. We should all be paid by the government to do whatever we want.

I think we can reasonably argue that the statement is overdetermined. Charitably, perhaps the professor did mean mathematical maturity in the sense of "try learning some background first, and give yourself the time to let your skills and intuition develop." Uncharitably, perhaps the professor did not, and meant mathematical maturity in the sense of, "you have an inherent deficiency that makes this an inappropriate undertaking for you."

I think where the fruit of this discussion may be is deciding to what degree an authority figure like a professor has a responsibility or an obligation to their students and advisees to make themselves clear which way they intend their statements to be interpreted. Personally, this begets a discussion of the nuances between the obligations and responsibilities of communication between (1) strangers, (2) peers/colleagues, and (3) authority figures and their charges.
