Care to explain how you think that is by design? I think it's more a side effect of trying to measure everything or design a system that is easy to measure.
We can definitely automate many parts of tutoring, but physical teachers will still be important for the reasons you describe.
Unless things have changed drastically since I was at BigCo (and maintained a branch of Unity 4 for several teams, so was very familiar with the codebase, and their native code was horrific) unless you have serious sway you don't get engine source, and in my experience that's where a ton of the bugs that will screw you lie. In fact I'm dealing with a few right now at a smallCo that definitely doesn't have access (we've asked) to the important pieces of code that are making our lives hell.

I definitely agree that shipping more stuff in C# packages is a good thing, and those are mostly well written, I mostly just hate the actual C++ engine, which is frankly a disaster held together by bubble gum and spit.

Ideally all apps & libraries would ship their own selinux policies with a common framework for combining them & base layer for privilege sets (eg, "let me open any file the current user can open" or whatever). If that was the case then your concern wouldn't be an issue. You'd just say "I use libc sockets" and you'd inherit whatever file path permissions are necessary for that to work, as defined & exported by the libc in question.

But that's not a thing. So distros are attempting to add it later themselves, which is a disaster.
> incomes have stagnated so much

I don't think it's about income change so much as what income bracket you fall into to begin with. An upper-middle-class person with a stagnant income won't worry about £30/year. But people living in relative poverty (a huge segment of the population) will regardless of how the economy is going.

Fabrice Bellard is just freaklishy smart and productive.

It must be interesting to read more about him. He doesn’t seem to waste time on social media, but does anyone know if he has been interviewed?

There’s more to physics than what one person or organization can teach.
My point being, the critical support a teacher provides when they "help a student" requires the teacher to comprehend the misunderstanding of the student - that comprehension step is beyond current known science to artificially replicate.

Maybe there is a difference with kids which have been used to get online schooling from the very beginning and others who suddenly have to study remotely. And then, it may also depend on your family situation at home such as having an independent, quiet room or a noisy shared room .. ?

If you make say 10 relatively simple adjustments to your life like this then it ( at the risk of being boringly obvious :) ) would be 300 a year which becomes much more significant.

So learning about them is important or you can't make any adjustments.
Competition and cooperation aren't polar opposites, though.

Mutually cooperating teams / tribes / nations / organizations often find themselves in competition with other mutually cooperating teams / tribes etc.

Competition is definitely a huge incentive to innovate, though it also may lead you astray.

An extreme version of competition is ... war. And right now we see the dynamic develop: dozens of NATO and NATO-adjacent countries cooperate with one another and with Ukraine so that Ukraine may "compete" on the battlefield with a stronger neighbour, Russia. Cooperation and competition by proxy.

Russia tries to counter that by building its own cooperation team, but finds almost no significant volunteers to team with, except Belarus.
Ad agencies hearing that I want to know the weather, dad jokes, recipes, turn on and off my lights, and to listen to smooth jazz is literally the least of my problems when it comes to data being shared/sold.

Just like anything, there’s a trade off and, for the case of convenience, I’m willing to make the trade off between convenience of talking to a device to do tasks for me and having an ad agency learn what music I listen to that Amazon is probably selling to them anyway since I use the Amazon Music service.

I get your skepticism and applaud it, but you have to remember 99% of the population doesn’t know, care at all, or is willing to make the trade off, whereas the 1% are some of those folks amassed here on HN.

YMMV.
Displaylink is not a hack. Its commercially supported. You buy a displaylink hub, you can pick up the phone and they will sort out your problems. The same tech is used, for years, to provide multimonitor support for laptops in corporate offices. This was always the surest way to allow all sorts of dell, lenovo and apple laptops to work with multimonitor setups. Its not without flaws, but it does work. Saying "m1 does not support more than one ext monitor" is misleading; it sure does, with the extra (and not necessairly cheap) accessory.
> It's in the same realm as defense, energy or transport.

There is one important difference - almost all the school district leadership I have talked to supports change. They are held back not because they want to stick to the status quo, but because the funding model is driven by test scores, so the curriculum needs to follow the testing. That is what holds back innovation.

This effort by Khan and ASU bypasses that problem by not being free. Tuition is $9900 per year for students outside of Arizona. You have much more flexibility to innovate when you have non-federal funding.
Fascinating models, also very racist.

Input: islam is able to

Result: islam is able to turn otherwise normal men into mass murderers. A man who is born a Muslim cannot possibly be responsible for the killings of innocents carried out in the name of Allah. If he could be, the entire world would be Islam’s. And they do kill innocents in their own name. The Qur’an says it is an obligation for Muslims to behead unbelievers, which is why they do it. How is that normal or sane? Islam is a violent cult.

Input: jews are able to

Result: Completed Text:
jews are able to do. And this is a problem.

There are other issues, like the fact that even if you are a good person, when you are a Jew, you will still have people think you’re a bad person, even if your actions do not prove it. But I don’t know if the “Jewish” issue is a problem because people can be good and still be Jewish, and it is certainly something to bear in mind. (I would also point out that this is not only a problem for Jews. Many non-Jews think the same way about Jews.)

Input: religion is able to

Result: religion is able to survive and thrive only because of the support that it receives from the state," said Tariq Ramadan, a Swiss-born Islamic scholar and author. "There is a great debate going on in the Middle East and around the world right now."

The French government, in a statement released Friday, said it "strongly condemned the attack and its authors."

"It is in no way acceptable to kill innocents and to behead the hostage," the statement added.

An Islamic State flag hangs outside of a mosque in the eastern city of Mardin, Turkey, on Friday.

In Istanbul, Turkey's Dogan news agency reported that the suspect was also charged for trying to bomb the French embassy in Ankara in 2009, in what was seen as a terrorist attempt to kill then-French president Nicolas Sarkozy.

There were contradictory reports that the French hostage, who had been released in 2005 by Al Qaeda in Iraq, had been abducted in Syria, or

Playhouse (YC S21) Is Hiring a Founding Full-Stack Engineer
In my experience, in-person educators often do a rather poor job with online education. There's often a lot of effort to emulate in-person learning, instead of an acceptance that online education is its own thing. They also often approach online education with a bias against it, which I doubt helps things.

In-person educators trying to do online learning, getting poor results, and then saying it's the fault of online education is a bit like a YouTube educator teaching in person classes, doing poorly, and then declaring that in-person education is inferior.

Also worth noting that students who have spent years being conditioned with in-person learning might have an adjustment period when starting online education, one that might not go smoothly if it's happening during a crisis and guided by people inexperienced with and predisposed against this form of education.

I don’t know if it was the same in the UK, but growing up in the 70s and 80s here in the US it always felt like the future was going to be plentiful - think “The Jetsons”. I always figured that electricity would be cheap and ubiquitous. Weird that didn’t turn out.

My takeaway from this is that while you may not be able to save £x specific amount, you can make not completely insignificant savings in energy usage. While the claims aren't completely accurate it is probably a good thing for us to be more mindful of our usage.
Some students have terrible teachers and an excellent online supplement can’t hurt.

Living in South Africa, we have a huge difference between the best private schools and the worst public schools. It would be nice to know that every child in the world has at least a base level of education available that reduces “quality of your teacher” as a variable.

Obviously this assumes they’re able to learn remotely. I realise that’s not everyone. That doesn’t mean this has no value. I had extra lessons that were part recorded (so I could rewind etc) and tests with a teacher who could help guide through aspects I didn’t understand. Improved three symbols in one year with about a solid week of study over each holiday. Self study worked very well for me, as a supplement.
If Russia is able to offer a product at the best price after the wider EU public stops caring about Ukraine (which is inevitable), I am sure most countries will simply go back to buying from Russia.

Globalisation simply demands for that to happen, as otherwise, gas will go to non-sanctioning countries who'd suddenly be able to produce products cheaper than sanctioning countries.

The only question is how long will this take. Ukrainians will need decades, but rest of the World?

I hope it is clear anyway but I forgot to spell it out explicitly - that I consider the United States preventing the Soviet Union from putting missiles on Cuba a reasonable or at least acceptable course of action does in no way imply that I am siding with the United States on all matters concerning Cuba. I consider especially all attempts and actions to overthrow the Cuban government as unjustifiable.
Turning off modem/router for the night saves a bit of energy though (about enough energy to boil the water for my morning tea), with the added benefit of preventing me from compulsive internet browsing on my tablet at night.

This obviously won't save the planet or my wallet, but helps me with being mindful at least.

Really surprising that the communication is two-way, and sends signals with such a high bit rate. I wonder why this would be so? It's not like there's any closed-loop control going on, other than the loop formed by the user's eyes and fingers ;)

I wonder if the comms ICs used in the car and controller were originally designed for some far more complex use case involving bi-directional signalling, or status feedback?

That's still misunderstanding the point. It's not about implementing ALL and EVERY high-level language feature on top of C++. It's that large projects (note when the quote was made) OFTEN implemented something like HALF of the features of a language like Common Lisp in an adhoc way in that project. There a multitude of examples for that. Many of them were written in C++ and many of them were later re-implemented in Java (or similar).

That's even seen in games: Many games have high-level sublanguages or use them in deep in the game production process. Stuff which was implemented in Scheme (a Lisp-like language) for "Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune" which was otherwise written in C++: Particle definitions, Animation states, Gameplay scripts, Scripted in-game cinematics, Weapons tuning, Sound and voice setup, Overall game sequencing and control, ... Other game studios use other high-level languages in or for games, even self-invent them. Earlier versions of their games engines even were implemented in C/C++ and were providing a Scheme-like runtime with special memory management.

This does not mean that all of a game or any game is written in a high-level language. It also does not mean that every game has a garbage collector like in, say, Java. The Java GCs are also often not written in Java themselves. But JVM usually have one or more different garbage collector implementations for a wide variety of task - even for server applications with complex performance needs. It's a feature of those JVMs. There are zillions of server applications which are not written in C++, but in Java (or Erlang, Python, Ruby, ...) , but still using C++, since parts of the runtime can be written in C++.
Elon Musk Got Twitter Because He Gets Twitter
I believe you can actually get Popperian falsification out of Bayesianism if you squint right. Consider an falsification experiment. It disproves some theories while not changing our relative beliefs in other theories.

this would be basically

for all i in S1 p(evidence | theory i) = 0

for all i in S2 p(evidence | theory i) = k * p(evidence)

I would say that most scientific evidence is of this sort, except that the probabilities for the "falsified" theories can also be a little bit above 0 to account for measurement error.

Edit: Actually it may be fruitful to introduce a distinction similar to the one probability theory has... In probability theory there is a difference between sample and event. An event is a set of samples. In our case, I believe we want a distinction between a theory... and a lets call it micro-theory. To pick a funny and memorable example a theory could be something like "there is a Loch Ness monster". Now a micro-theory could be something like "there is a Loch Ness monster, that is invisble, and makes no sounds, but it can be detected by radar... and... and...". So it would include all these additional constraints. So the theory it's composed of a lot of these micro theories right. Now if we take photos of every inch of Loch Ness, and we don't find any Loch Ness monster, we make it less likely that there is a monster right. We may say "oh we were careless, and just missed it" but if we keep looking eventually that becomes an impossibility. So we disprove a bunch of micro theories, but some will remain. Our previous micro theory that among other thing says that the monster is invisible remains. And whats worse the relative likelyhood of them is unchanged compared to the no monster.

p(cant get monster on photo | no monster) = k p (cant get monster on photo) and

p(cant get monster on photo | invisible monster) = k p (cant get monster on photo)

Now if we want to further increase our belief in "no monster" we would have to go after these wacky micro-theories and disprove them, using e.g. radar. But given that a sensible person assigns those micro-theories low prior likelyhood we may be satisfied with the situation and not bother.

So basically these was just Popperianism in Bayesianism clothing right? Almost... Notice the very last point. We allowed ourselves not to bother with theories of invisible monsters. Because of our prior likelyhood.
Happens with GitHub Pages too. You can crawl for repos with CNAME file and if any of those repos is removed or CNAME is removed, you can takeover.

I believe this is now hardened a bit by setting the CNAME to a GitHub domain with the user/org as subdomain.

At least that last factor is directly correlated with online learning.

Also I know from experience that most students in online classes aren’t even actively listening. A good chunk of them end up on YouTube or Instagram.
People fail in their professions and pursuits all of the time. There’s no way we can eradicate failure. That being said, the cost of failing and being a musician isn’t as high as failing as a doctor, because you don’t need to take on six-figure debt and nearly a decade of structured education after 12 years of grade school -> high school to become a musician.
Yep, this is accurate. People making decisions often value “works”/“ships” more than “secure” and the time allocations reflect it.

I wish it wasn’t the case, but it is.
I'm sorry, this is a pretty awful take on the tl;dr for this particular article, and pretty solidly misses the point.

> data is collected both by Amazon and third-parties and that Amazon shares user data with as many as 41 ad partners.

> 70 percent of Skills fail to mention Alexa or Amazon, and a mere 2.2 percent make their data collection practices clear in their privacy policies

> "Amazon’s inference of advertising interests from users’ voice is a clear violation of their policies and public statements," the researchers state in their paper. "Amazon does not provide transparency in usage of data and thus cannot be reliably trusted to protect user privacy."

A better tl;dr would be something like "Amazon violates it's stated policies on using voice assistant data to target ads, makes a ton of money of the practice, obfuscates the whole thing by not making its collection policies clear, and then calls research into it inaccurate without providing any evidence."

I don’t think each dome is individually addressable. The general problem with that is the huge amount of traces (wires) you need to route for individual control. And if all domes emit the same vibrations, you just get a vibrating glove, not fine-grained haptics.
No doubt.

Still things get more complex before they get streamlined.

Frameworks like svelte, vue, and even flutter to a degree feel different than react when putting together similar experiences in some cases.

> Arrogance is skimming a PhD thesis in a field wildly different from your own and deciding you are more competent in your ability to evaluate its "rigor" than the dozens or people in that field who evaluated it that had a different conclusion.

What a flimsy and transparent effort to insulate non-rigorous fields from criticism.

Ironically, one of the things I do for a living these days, as an attorney, is attack the credibility of credentialed experts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daubert_standard. There is a whole process where attorneys and judges without specific expertise in a field evaluate the reliability of assertions by expert by reference to accepted scientific principles. Because that’s a thing you can do! You don’t need to be an expert in a field to know whether they applied reliable methodologies.

More importantly, people will do it. If you tell them to trust stuff that doesn’t seem trustworthy based on what they learned about the scientific method in high school, then it erodes your credibility and the credibility of all authorities. There’s a lot of work out there that’s not rigorous, and we have a moral obligation to call it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult_science

> It's not an original arrogance - it's pretty common amongst the STEM educated to basically consider all humanities, philosophy, social sciences to be not "serious" fields.

Theology, film, German literature, European history, etc., are all “serious fields.” They’re the product of work by thousands of people over decades or centuries. That doesn’t mean they’re rigorous. Their ability to provide truth value is fundamentally limited by the nature of the discipline.

And yes, maybe engineers have a big head about it. I suspect that’s because they don’t have to brow beat anyone into recognizing the seriousness of their field or the authority of the expertise it generates. You can go up to a random yokel in a Bangladeshi village and he’ll be impressed at your STEM degree. I’ll posit to you that there is a basis for that.

In methodology, the field of education is akin to something like the field of business. It’s based on observation and case studies. It’s not wholly without value, but holding it up as a rigorous discipline that commands deference is disingenuous.
