> Gold is a tulip. ... The only reason we think it’s valuable is it’s sufficiently rare for other people to think it’s valuable.

Absolutely not. Gold has a variety of functional uses in electronics. It's used for its physical properties in a lot of spacecraft. And until dentistry had modern options gold fillings were common (not even that long ago- my own mother has a couple gold fillings).

> and their parents should be more likely to be involved financially and in PTA.

And when gifted programs become screeners of affluence then there are going to be financially involved parents in the PTA which benefits the whole school. But if all of those parents end up at the "good" schools then those schools have considerably more funding (on top of the additional funding from the DOE) to allow them to actually educate their students. It is all a self reinforcing cycle that benefits a few and disadvantages many.
Someone should make one for the various countries: "Is is a Ponzi? A framework for evaluating pension schemes".
We should spend more on gifted programs, not less. These are the kids with the most potential push society forward, and they should get every opportunity to flourish to the greatest extent possible, even if they have the great misfortune of being born white.

“Since when does equity mean everyone gets nothing?”

Unfortunately, in Oregon, Kate Brown and her acolytes think that it is "equitable" to get rid of all basic learning requirements for high school graduation, because they are "white supremacy" or something.

Ponzi's rely on deception, but crypto projects are the complete opposite- they are entirely public. Literally every transaction is public. So the entire premise/title of this article is nonsense.

Also the shade thrown at Cardano is ridiculous. They write "Their focus on convincing YouTube influencers to promote Cardano.." But the truth is the opposite. Cardano relies on thousands of validators to secure the network, who in turn are incentivized to market themselves. So it's not that YouTube influencers were convinced to do anything- it's highly technical people that were convinced to market the network. Big difference, and actually quite smart.

>redirect high performers to a school where there is a gifted program present

I am a bit hesitant of this. One valuable thing you get by having geographical schools is the same friends in and out of school. If you have friends at school but they are too far to hang out with or do homework with it can be bad for the kid learning social skills.

Mandating gifted classes as you mentioned seems better.
It's just crazy. Even this quote from article is an exaggeration:

As I’ve written about before, climate change is going to be bad, and it will hold back humanity from thriving as much as we should this century. It will likely cause mass migration and displacement and extinctions of many species.

The global tropospheric temperature has been steadily increasing at a rate of only 0.13C per decade over the last forty years[0].

This got me thinking. Minimalism or minimalist systems are often seen as systems with less energy. Or, we seem to think it takes less energy to remove objects than to add objects (complex systems). More stuff, more energy. But, minimalism needs a lot of useful work. Less stuff is not the same as a minimalist system. Using a music analogy, I argue, it's much easier (takes less energy) to fill an empty space with hundreds of notes than with a few carefully selected notes :)

It always annoyed me how anarchy is conflated with chaos. Nowhere is implied that a lack of coercive hierarchy means to be allowed to smash everything and kill people.
It applies to Brazilian residents and on paper even to visitors: any time foreign goods pass the border. The fact that is inconsistently applied does not mean the law does not exist, so be prepared if they happen to single you out and enforce it.

It is definitely about both mail and your luggage. The link in my previous reply specifically mentions luggage, including a whole FAQ. Tax free limit when entering by air is 500 USD.

May I ask where are you from? I am a bit puzzled by your surprise because I do not know a single country that does not have similar laws. The whole EU has analogous rules, for example (and I live in the EU). Those absolutely apply to your luggage, and also mail. The difference is in implementation details such as what qualifies as personal use, what is the tax-free allowance, and what are the fees. But the concept itself is not something odd that only Brazil does.

The answer even according to this framework is pretty much a blanket "yes, unless it helps you buy illegal drugs", considering that's the only thing you can really purchase with cryptocurrencies that has any value outside of the network.
> My behavior challenges came from a lack of being challenged.

I've heard this a lot - it's always someone else's fault. In my experience in school, the disruptive students were not the gifted ones. They were the ones who never experienced negative consequences for their disruptive behavior. Neither the teachers, administration, nor parents ever disciplined them.

The unchallenged gifted students would read a book during class, or draw art in their notebooks, etc.
Correct. Most progressives would have no issue with voter ID, as long as the states make it very easy and zero cost to get said ID. Try being poor and needing an ID, and not having all of the documentation needed. It's very challenging to do so.
> The only reason to be against voter ID is to make fraud easier

It’s to make sure minorities that have historically been discriminated against with regards to voting actually get to vote, which is their right.

Assuming you’re giving your position in good faith, I’d really enjoy to hear some extrapolation on your side of thought.

Have you ever actually looked at the test they used to give black people to vote? It’s been a while since I’ve read much about the topic, but I think it was going on even into the 1950’s?

As the top of my class, the test was easy to me - but some very slight mindfuckery, as is the point. I guarantee you the lower 50% of my class would not have been able to pass it. & this is a 2010’s level of education against essentially uneducated blacks from close to a century ago.

If you think things like that are acceptable & okay. I cannot believe you & your ideologies would lead to a prosperous society capable of sustaining humanity & advancing technology.
For anyone coming in a bit confused by this, the magic here is in the concept of "differentiable". I'm fairly frequently touting the benefits of thinking in terms of differentiable programming and the most common response is "what does that even mean?"

The core idea is that any program that is "differentiable" means you can take the derivative of that program the same way you can take the derivative of a simple function in calculus.

Why does that matter? Well being able to take the derivative of any problem in turn means you can then optimize that problem with gradient descent. Chris Olah recently had a great discussion on Twitter [0] about what's great about gradient descent, in short:

> Simple gradient descent creates mind-boggling structure and behavior, just as evolution creates the awe inspiring complexity of nature.

Differentiable programming is, in a strange way, similar to logic programming in the sense that you can start solving problems by defining what the solution looks like. In this example you define the input and desired output and then learn the FSM that maps one to the other. Recall from Theory of Computation classes that a FSM the simplest, least powerful programming language (FSM an example of a regular language).

What's amazing here is that you're essentially seeing gradient descent writing a program. IMHO, that is insanely cool.

What makes differentiable programming so interesting compared to something like logic programming is that you have a potentially much larger space of problems that can be solved in this manner and compared to the backtracking algorithm used by logic programming languages, gradient descent allows for potentially faster (though also approximate) solutions at scale.

Currently the vast majority of differentiable programming examples are essentially just building neural nets, but examples like this one show that we can think much more broadly about problems in terms of differentiable programming as a proper programming paradigm.

> As someone who just barely missed the gifted cutoff, my schooling was much too easy and I basically never had to study for tests or exams. I ended up developing poor academic habits that ultimately hurt me when the difficulty got hard enough that intellectual horsepower needed to be combined with hard work.

When you're little, you self-learn that if it's easy, it's not worth doing. If it's hard, it's probably impossible anyway. Your life is good and filled with fun. As you get older, when things get hard in school, you avoid or fail them with no strategies or habits around completing difficult schoolwork (which often feels as rewarding as easy schoolwork). Who would want to stop having fun? This is sometimes referred to as, the curse of the gifted.
> For some reason progressives are against voter ID laws.

For some reason, conservatives are against making voter ID easy to get for people they dislike.

If everyone had easy access to getting eligible ID, progressives would stop opposing insane voter ID laws.
Without reading the other comments here, I can't tell what this font looks like, and I don't care to dig deeper to find out.
Ah, fond memories. At the worst place, it was 5 weeks before I could log into a computer. Then daily "scrum" conference calls with 40 people on 3 continents, which took about 90 minutes each. Detailed written proposals (Word docs, multiple pages) required for every code change, even small fixes.

Minimal friction is the opposite scenario - be a contractor, take whole jobs, do it all yourself. I prefer it, but there's no coasting.

Not all large companies have so much machinery! While people think of MAGMA, maybe Capital One, Clouflare, etc. - there are many huge companies that aren't tech-first that have the internal communication responsibilities but without better developer tooling than small startups. That _sucks_ if you're the kind of person who's used to high personal velocity.
> I understand that they might want to polish it but I'm not sure if polishing is actually worth. The original game has been continuously getting updates IIUC, so it might be totally OK to release sooner and then use the same model in Steam.

I think the platform shapes the user's expectations of what is acceptable though. If I buy a game on Steam I expect a certain degree of polish when I download it. If I were to buy the same game on Kickstarter I might not even expect to be able to download it for a few months/years. If someone donates to Dwarf Fortress, they probably already like it in it's current state and want to see where it goes.

Why didn't that sort of analysis find fraud in Philadelphia in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018? How are you so certain of its infallibility given it's apparent inability to find fraud like this?
This is great, but I can't imagine that there are many "unimmunized people who would prefer a shot that is not based on the mRNA technology".

I've heard a variety of inconsistent excuses from the "vaccine hesitant", only some of which have anything to do with mRNA. Many are repeating some variant of "just a flu". I saw one the other day call it "COLDvid", clearly impressed with their own cleverness.

I'm sure there will be a few, but there's no way that this closes the gap to the point where we can depend on herd immunity. At this point most of the US has had the disease, and most have been vaccinated. I don't think adding a few more percent is going to change that.

Nor, more to the point, is it going to change the way the pandemic has been used as yet another way of prosecuting the same old culture war.
That presumes some quantifiable, precisely and accurately measurable metric, which does not exist in any context.

For example, there is no test in existence that accurately measures "giftedness" in children.
I have, it has holes big enough to drive a big rig through, and has been widely panned by people who know about cell phone location tracking.

> basically the same thing, just regulated

Campaign expenditures are audited and regulated. Lobbying generally involves little of material value going to the politician—it’s connecting with experts and writing bills their staff are too stretched to deal with.

PACs are the black hole in the equation. But if you think a PAC can just buy a politician a boat or a house without consequences, you’ve severely underestimated the FBI’s appetite for those kinds of cases. Conflating these modes normalises actual bribery.

I am going off topic also: I would enjoy branching out and leaving the Apple ecosystem but I feel stuck. I am absolutely addicted to my Apple Watch and love that I can leave home and even take short travel trips with that being my only device. Unfortunately the rest of the Apple ecosystem sort of tags along for the ride since everything else works with the watch when I am at home.
Jaguar is the tooling to enable rapid development. It consists of two parts: one that runs on the ESP32 and another one that runs on your computer.

Whenever a new program is ready, it gets pushed (over WiFi) to the device. The whole process only updates the actual program (not the whole OS), thus making the development cycle really fast.

Compared to MicroPython, Toit is significantly faster. In my (obviously biased) opinion, it's also more robust.

You can't link C drivers directly without modifying the Toit code base, but there is a bridge to talk between C and Toit code. Generally, we prefer to reimplement the drivers in Toit. However, for some bigger ones it clearly makes sense to keep the C version.

Sounds like a worthy cause. The ten-year project that I mentioned was actually ready to go, after a couple of years. All the rest of the time, was spent, talking about it, and trying to help people use it, until it went viral, and was taken over by a fairly accomplished team.

Thanks to them, it has become a lot bigger than I could have made it.
Design-wise, Emacs is less an editor with an API and more a set of core editing concepts (buffers, strings with properties... etc) embedded into a flexible language. The core concepts have a native implementation that's hard to change, but they're simple and flexible enough that you can put them together to do all kinds of text-editory (or even not-so-text-editory) things.

Everything on top of the core is written in an open style, with Lispy features that make it easy to hook into or modify anything. Adding a small feature to Emacs doesn't feel like calling APIs from an existing application, it feels either like writing my own code with text editor stuff available as a library or, alternatively, like tapping into and fiddling directly with existing code in the system.

This way of seeing Emacs explains both why it's so flexible and why certain things (better performance on long lines, concurrency) are so difficult: you can express a lot using the core concepts and you can easily change other code that's expressed with these concepts, but making fundamental changes to the core itself is far more difficult. Partly it's more difficult because it's an old C codebase pretty separate from the Lisp world but, more importantly, it's difficult because substantial changes to the building blocks will change or break existing code in ways that are hard to control or predict. It's the very flexibility on top of the core that makes the core itself hard to change, since the higher-level Lisp code is using the core concepts in all kinds of ways.
