I think you are taking a very narrow interpretation of what Krauss is saying. Nowhere in his essay does he talk about that we should not be teaching religion, art, music, literature and that they don't have value.

Remember that he is replying to an initiative to bring Maori perspectives (mysticism) into science classes as an equally valid system to explain the physical world, to which he answers the only valid way of explaining the physical world is the scientific process.
yes - and you assume everyone is lying about it, instead of just telling their manager? and many do not shorten their time..and others work for companies that don't care as long as the work is done.

Paraphrasing what I said a comment above, you drill addition and subtraction until everyone is good at it, then you drill multiplication, then you do basic division, then you start introducing basic one variable algebra with "move plus to the other side to get minus" etc. The application is using algebra for word problems; formalism can come later.
I miss the controls. These stupid on-screen menus are often so difficult to use compared to just turning a little POD meter to control the brightness, contrast, etc. If you're lucky your screen has a quick-ish way to adjust the brightness, but the rest are almost always a pain to adjust.

Update - having re-read the first post about this, it seems that the issue of resources is exactly the problem. I think that opponents of the CMF would prefer to see More Resources put into careful, thorough elementary/middle school math so that middle schoolers would thrive in 8th grade Algebra. And in their view, the CMF simply lowers the bar, masking the need for more resources.

I agree with that!
> whether you are born with a high IQ is purely random, and even worse IQ is heritable

This sounds contradictory to me.

Moreover, how does IQ differ in this respect from "capacity and willingness to do hard work"?

That's a cool idea. We've had many collaborators using Zed lakes for search at smallish scale and we are still building the breadth of features needed for a serious search platform, but I think we have a nice architecture that holds the promise to blend the best of both worlds of warehouses and search.

As for list() and values() functions, Zed has native arrays and sets so there's no need for a "multi-value" concept as in splunk. If you want to turn a set into an array, a cast will do the trick, e.g.,

echo '1 2 2 3 3' | zq 'u:=union(this) | cast(u,<[int64]>) ' -

[1,2,3]

(Note that <[int64]> is a type value that represents array of int64.)

You say that this is unrelated yet your follow-up reinforces my initial impression.

How does one afford to work for free? One has a day job. How does someone who volunteers for search-and-rescue afford it? That’s obviously a ridiculous question—they are volunteers so they necessarily must do something from nine to five. Or be independently wealthy.

But how does one avoid burnout as a double-worked programmer? I think we have ourselves to blame on that point since we have put the double-worked programmer on a pedestal. So we can either:

1. Not work on things both professionally and in our free time; or

2. Force ourselves to do just that because we gain something extrinsic from it that we might need, like simply keeping up with the Joneses (having an answer for “where’s your private GitHub” in interviews…)

It seems like such a bonehead solution to the problem. Of course if you’re doing poorly in math scores, you can make math easier in the hope to increase scores.

It’s sad that the state is proposing these changes. I remember in school there were kids who argued “algebra is stupid, who needs it, why waste time” and there were one or two sympathetic teachers who would respond “well, I rarely have to use algebra to balance my checkbook” or something silly. It seems like those kids have grown up, gained power, and are literally pushing the argument that this math isn’t important.
Yes obviously, that's a problem. But again it's one of policy. There are lots of hard problems. Generally, avoiding hard problems isn't a great solution. Maybe for some things but when the counter is the end of democracy then that's not really an option.

Anyone that set's out to solve this should go in with a really specific definition (something like verifiable false based on expert consensus), make it enforceable with stiff penalties, and appealable to the courts. It's not perfect, it requires constant monitoring and updating, and lot's of work to make sure it's not like every other regulatory body, and get's subverted or otherwise undermined by political activity. But none of that is impossible. Possibly improbable given current conditions, but regardless something we should be having conversations about.

A ministry of truth with a well defined scope isn't any more unreasonable than a ministry of food cleanliness (FDA).

The same way we regulate what technical exports a company can make when it affects our national security, it is completely reasonable to do the same with the telecommunication companies that can affect equally large impacts on our internal security.
16.0 was still getting security patches merged till 19.0 release, so it’s a pretty decent change you can work this way for a while.

I actually did directly refute your point:

Better information does not dispel misinformation in public forums. I gave reasons why this is the case.

Mind you, better information can dispel misinformation in non-public forums. For example, in a highly moderated community. Or in a community where there is a certain web of trust that discourages cynical actors from deliberately trying to game popularity.

Now onto another problem with your statement: You claimed that better information beats misinformation, and you claimed that if it doesn't, the problem is that the information isn't better.

That's a claim that any idea which becomes popular must be better, because if there was better information, it would have dispelled the poorer ideas. Observing human history, I claim this is demonstrably false.

Billions of people believe things on faith that have no empirical backing, and do so despite access to an unprecedented amount of scientific evidence to the contrary.

Any theory that better information always wins should explain how non-trivial numbers of people can believe things for which there is no evidence or even wildly disseminated evidence to the contrary.

I think the onus is on you to give evidence for your claim, because I personally see evidence to the contrary.

I wish there were more people doing this with hydroponics or aeroponics, because gardening in dirt is super inefficient in terms of water and space usage. You also have to worry about yields, pests, and crop failures, which can be totally negated in a controlled environment.

> Empirically, it seems that drilling basic arithmetic and then multiplication tables early in pre K and earlier elementary will give students a better intuitive math foundation to do algebra very well.

This aspect of the Common Core was about recognizing deficits in conceptual understanding resulting from rote methods of drilling arithmetic.

In middle school, we had a math teacher with an old mac setup that ran a physics simulator program. It came with a variety of starter templates, one of them was this crash test dummy in a car.

It was all polygons, but you could hit run and the car would accelerate and hit a wall then the circle head and arms would sort of fly around.

Anyone know what this software was? I remember running and re-running little simulations repeatedly, with little understanding of the science but very much enjoying the ragdoll physics of it.

My Xiaomi does that too, although the quick shortcut is to just hold the power button down to force reboot it. I think it's just the PC space missing support for this.

However, I think the emergency disable functionality in Windows Hello isn't really necessary. You can quickly disable biometrics on your phone from your pocket, but disabling it on a desktop or laptop is a lot harder to do inconspicuously.

Because this is using PAM, you can configure it however you want. You can tell your system to allow user logins through biometrics but require a password for administrative tasks (doas/sudo) for example. You can also edit the source code and make it always fail if a certain file in a write-only directory is present and set up a keyboard shortcut that runs `touch /special/file/here`. You can even implement such a timer system by setting up a systemd timer that automatically creates such a file after a certain amount of time to make sure you need to reauthenticate.

Setting up a reliable face recognition system that hooks into the right APIs is the hard part. That's what this project does. Customising it to serve your exact use case is relatively easy.
> Does race work the same as gender here?

In the sense that “‘race’ can be substituted for ‘gender’ without loss of accuracy in the description in GP”, not “the dynamics of the degree of social acceptance of divergence between ascribed race and racial identity are identical to those for gender.”
A lot of people seem to see "female" as a strictly biological term, whereas "woman" is a gender term. While this would be convenient, I'd like to point out that lots of people use "female" to refer to gender too.

My answer would be, "woman" is a socio-cultural category (a "gender") with some associated traits deemed "feminine", which people who have a vulva at birth are placed into, but as a social category, any particular genitalia is neither sufficient nor necessary (in the formal-logic sense) for membership in any particular category.

This definition doesn't allow one to objectively place someone else in a category. The Spanish word "genero" is both "gender" and "genre" in English, which I feel is illuminating. You can't write a procedure to determine if any arbitrary song is rock music, as opposed to country or metal or blues, or if a movie is a thriller or horror or action or comedy. There will be cases that clearly fit in one category, there will be cases where the genres are mixed, and cases where people disagree on the genre. Same with gender. It's a classification system invented by humans; a "social construct".

Caddy is absolutely amazing.

I'm running it on an RPi that's hosting various home automation and hobby projects, all serving HTTP to the loopback interface only, with Caddy acting as a reverse proxy, and I've never even had to think about HTTPS.

TL;DR: algebra != arithmetic AKA real math doesn't use numbers

I'm only good at _arithmetic_ because of making Warhammer 40k armies (true story bro).

I'm good at _algebra_ because I was taught well, on top of a knack.

Speed with basic algebraic operations was very helpful in many places but speed with arithmetic operations has only been helpful in board games.

I don't think anyone here would disagree with your point about algebra, but I think a lot of people such as myself would disagree that pre-K memorization of arithmetic helps with algebra later.

> > Some of it, yes. Some of it seems to be encoded in our genes.

> How do you arrive at that conclusion?

Instinctual behaviors are simple to empirically observe. It's easy to demonstrate an instinctual fear of snakes in people or animals that never saw a real snake before and have no empirical knowledge of snakes. This shows there is knowledge about the danger of snakes encoded in the genes of vertebrates.

That we can study these instincts through empirical means does not mean the individual's instincts are empirically informed. The individual gets this knowledge not through observations of the world, so that well-founded fear of snakes isn't empirical knowledge.
Indeed, the "rights of a (living) being" is something we decide upon as a species. Most of the rest of the known universe and its phenomena don't seem to observe moral rights any more than a mudslide about to swallow everything in its path.

We decide that some things are moral, others immoral or ethical and unethical.

> Sounds like more woke nonsense

You are right that this is a lot of nonsense. Specifically, 'you aren't good at math/math is hard' is the nonsense meme that gets hammered into student heads so frequently during school that most of them actually start to believe it.

It's not some kind of novel woke nonsense, though, it's how math instruction on this continent has been happening over the past X decades.

As a math PhD with dyscalcula, I'm very skeptical. I was nearly held back as a child because of poor arithmetic performance, and really only started to be above average when we started on algebra. Poor arithmetic isn't that uncommon among the mathematicians I know.
