Does thinking about numbers this way lead to human calculator abilities? For example, if someone asked you on the spot what 4343 * 1234 is, would you be able to immediately give the correct answer? I hope this doesn't come across as disrespectful. I'm only asking because I love magic tricks. For example, John Conway published his mental model once for computing the day of week for any date and it was simple enough that pretty much any school kid who learned it could use the doomsday algorithm to convince their peers they've got rainman level skills.
Don't know how propaganda like this has a place on this site.

Axiomatic statements are stealthily made about contentious points that are inconvenient to mainland China to actually consider.

Yes, sometimes there is propaganda-like writing in western media. But not every news and analysis is propaganda. A good journalist may have an opinion, but able to see own biases and object to oneself.
Here's an article talking about it:

https://towardsdatascience.com/why-is-the-closed-form-of-the...

It covers a couple of points (all of this is me summarizing the article I just linked; I'm not an expert in numeric computing):

- The closed-form expression for Fibonacci numbers involves an irrational number. But we can't do computations on irrational numbers; we're stuck with rational approximations. (Such as IEEE floating point.) Since computing an early Fibonacci number involves raising ϕ to a high exponent, the error involved in giving ϕ a finite representation rapidly compounds, corrupting the result. (According to this article, errors will become visible after F_100. That's quickly enough that you'd be justified in just having a lookup table for the first 100 Fibonacci numbers, which would be much faster than computing them as needed.)

- You can represent the Fibonacci recurrence relation directly in matrix form. This is just the counting-up method written down a different way. Each Fibonacci number is the product of the constant matrix [[1 1] [1 0]] with the vector consisting of the previous two Fibonacci numbers.

- You can exponentiate the matrix n-1 times to get a matrix that converts F_1 and F_0 (known in advance) into F_n and F_{n-1}. This is just as amenable to the shortcuts involved in calculating large exponents of a value as exponentiating ϕ is. But it's exact integer arithmetic.
my experience is the opposite. there's a lot of really insecure defaults in gcp, some of which are really hard to override - gcp makes it easier when the default service account that every is ridiculously overpermissioned, and for the longest time you couldnt change the service account in cloudfunctions or app engine, i forget which.

The reason you hear about s3 buckets and not gcs buckets is because usage of s3 is way higher and way older.

We put our daughter in a Montessori preschool for a week. She started to read some time when she was two. She's wild and smart. After a week of Montessori, she refused to go back. They focused on learning through functional tasks and kept the classroom bland (primary colors and earth tones and nothing else). She wanted to play and be outside. It wasn't going to work for her. We found a school that focused more on learning through play and focused on social/emotional development. There's nothing they're going to teach her from an education standpoint (she reads chapter books and the other kids are learning letter sounds, she counts to one thousand and the other kids are still working on getting to 20 consistently, etc) but non of the preschools we found actually can. She's having fun now though.
I thought it was much more than 50%, had been lead to believe the majority of the Russian people supported this war. As the Russian economy tanks, mothers find out their sons died for a pointless war where civilians are getting killed, and the notion that Russia is being internationally shunned starts to sink in, this number should drop.

Hopefully that makes a difference. I do think it's smart to do everything we can to sanction Russia's rich. Those people have power. They're the ones backing Putin. If they start to feel the pinch, feel that the party is getting ruined because of Putin's mood and his thirst for power, they might do something about it.

Depends on what exactly "backfires" means.

If the procedure seems to work, but instead of creating a server, deletes all data, then yes, the page's author should have fixed it. One should not leave dangerous advice around. (But in general, relying on documentation to avoid dangerous steps is a bad idea in general. If script is deprecated, instead of editing wiki, change the script itself to "print("deprecated, see ..."); exit(1);")

If the procedure cannot be executed because the script was renamed, or because backend was taken down, or because it fails loudly in the first step, then it's OK to keep wiki out of date. Sure, it was not useful, but at least it gives some info.

And of course in case of doubt, you can always ask the original author: "Hey, I am trying to do X, is procedure on wiki page Y up to date?" -- those kinds of questions are much, much nicer than generic "Where is the docs" question.
I would argue that that the difference is philosophical more than better worse. Others have talked about structure or not or the right structure or institutions. The difference really is about what one perceives as the role of schools. Different goals different outcomes and they aren't really. The issue about change is simply because people can't SEE the other clearly (especially the standard).

To someone socialized into the normal school system, montessori is incomprehensible and measure as such. The outcomes that are targeted from the montessori philosophy are antithetical to the outcomes standard education seeks to measure. What is happening can easily be labeled 'lazy' or 'disorganized' and the people who are expected to provide outside oversight can't easily identify the learning that is occurring. Outside evaluation requires legibility.

The opposite is also true. Standard school looks confusing and stupid to someone trained in the montessori philosophy - but not quite incomprehensible. That isn't because montessori is special but because it is different and the description of anything different is typically anchored in what is known. If you only knew montessori normal school would look incomprehensible - but because it is inherently a reaction it is taught as such.

I was a montessori kid until 5th grade then ended up in a 'standard' school. I struggled because it was not what I knew. I was accultured to be self sufficient and self-manage and suddenly I was getting yelled at for it. I remember just getting up to go to the bathroom (which was the norm at my prior school so I didn't interrupt others) and getting yelled at for...disrupting others. I think if you looked at the content learning outcomes - the outcomes were effectively equal, some better some worse. But if you look at how each taught me to think there is no comparison - I still rely on the montessori education to this day.

All of this is the same reason why getting higher ed faculty to switch from lecturing to active learning is so hard - if all you know is lecturing its really hard to understand what is happening in an active learning classroom.

Chapters was great when they first opened, with a massive selection of books on many topics. Even without much in the way of curation, the selection alone made it possible to go a bit nuts with purchases.

Over time, their selection became poorer and poorer. Say, the "computer science" section of old, eventually lost anything like a text book, and became a few shelves of certification guides and "X for Dummies" books. Getting bought by Indigo only brought the coup de grace, when half of _those_ books were now replaced with candles and kitsch.

I would agree that if unions were significantly larger and more powerful than corporations then there might be an issue (just as corporations being significantly larger and more powerful than individual workers is an issue - that is after all what unions exist to address).

Russia most likely designed and built that reactor and the others in the country, back when it was part of the Soviet Union. I think it's safe to say they fully understand and are capable of operating nuclear reactors like it.

> The Swiss model worked because the mountains act as both a defensive fortification

I've seen this claim a lot. IMHO it's overblown. Switzerland is mountainous in parts. Here's a topographical map [1]. You'll see that it has a lot of flat parts. The border between Geneva and France isn't a natural border of any kind. Also looking a population map [2] and you'll see those mountainous areas are largely uninhabited.

But Ukraine isn't free from geography either. It has a giant river running through the middle of it.

What an insurgency needs to bloody an invader isn't mountains, it's cover. Cities are a given here. Urban warfare is a nightmare for invaders. And forests have played a significant role in warfare since ancient times.

> A strong air force

Ukraine cannot possibly hope to have an air force to defeat Russia's. Airplanes are expensive. Infrastructure such as fuel tanks, airports and landing strips are easy to bomb. You know what's cheap and effective? Anti-aircraft weapons and SAMs (particularly mobile SAMs), the kind of thing Russia can't effectively order air strikes or artillery fire against like they can against fixed installations.

> Insurgencies are what you do when your conventional strategy fails.

If you're facing Russia, your conventional strategy is going to fail. As good as it is that Ukraine has denied Russia thier wildlly optimistic quick victory and that Russia has suffered casulaties likely in the thousands, we shouldn't fool ourselves into believing Ukraine can defeat the Russian Army conventionally.

> The easiest and cheapest way to achieve that is NATO membership.

That's the quickest way to World War Three.

One shocking thing to me about this this whole crisis (beyond the actual invasion of course) is how many Ameribrained people there even on HN. The US would never accept Chinese or Russian military bases in Canada or Mexico (and nearly started a nuclear war about Russian missiles in Cuba) but can't see how Russia might have the exact same strategic concerns. Or people who raise the idea of self-determination but have no answer as to why that shouldn't apply to Palestine or Cyrpus. Or they cannot conceive of a world where another country doesn't view the US as benign even though that's clearly how China, Russia, the Middle East and possibly even India at this point see the US.

It just goes to show how pervasive American exceptionalism is.

> If Montessori kids really were obviously more successful public education would change

Even when there is clear evidence that an educational method is better (e.g., not tracking, especially in elementary school), it's very common for there to be political pushback against it that prevents, delays, or limits adoption in public schools, so that's not at all clear.

If one wants to have a conversation about privilege and childhood education it is useful to look beyond labels for how one teaches and actually look at how schools change with social class.

Jean Anyon's work is really the baseline[0] and describes just how fundamentally different the schooling process experienced by the privileged and less privileged is. She looked entirely at public schools.

>In the two working-class schools, work is following the steps of a procedure. The procedure is usually mechanical, involving rote behavior and very little decision making or choice. The teachers rarely explain why the work is being assigned, how it might connect to other assignments, or what the idea is that lies behind the procedure or gives it coherence and perhaps meaning or significance. ...Work is often evaluated not according to whether it is right or wrong but according to whether the children followed the right steps.

>In the executive elite school, work is developing one's analytical intellectual powers. Children are continually asked to reason through a problem, to produce intellectual products that are both logically sound and of top academic quality. A primary goal of thought is to conceptualize rules by which elements may fit together in systems and then to apply these rules in solving a problem.

Nearly all news is propaganda, just at various levels of self-acknowledgment. Read it anyway, and extract useful views. It's good to read a diversity of perspectives.

In terms of being informed, reading a strong version of something you may disagree with, or feel yourself to be "on the opposite side of the narrative from" has higher informational value.

The dangerous thing is saying we can't read this, we can't ask this question, because of its origin or stance.

> This is the propagandist's defense...

No, it's the mark of the savvy reader. There was no defense offered, or needed, in its saying.

But so...I'm a propagandist for saying people should read widely? Hmm, no. Seems the reverse is true, tho...

> ...like liars who say 'we're all liars', and criminals who say 'we all commit crimes', and the corrupt who say, 'everyone is corrupt'.

Yep, the reverse is true. That's some strident rhetoric: sounds like liars, criminals and the corrupt who wants to silence others, and restrict their views.

But the truth is everyone is a liar. And a criminal...just at various levels of self acknowledgment and severity.

> A bland, and in this case, meaningless statement. There are no benefits to reading lies and there are certainly an almost infinite number of more valuable perspectives to read.

If one decides for others what's bland, meaningless and lies, and forbids it, aren't they a manipulative propagandist and liar, or corrupt, or a criminal? Or a book burner? Oh, Montag...

They actually have a pretty good track record when it comes to long term support of their hardware.

You may be thinking about Steam Machines, but those weren't actually Valve's hardware at all.
