Honestly, this seems like a great way to articulate one's goals with any complex project. As a teacher, I could imagine using this framework to describe a new curriculum.

> What are you trying to do? Articulate your objectives using absolutely no jargon.

I'm trying to improve reading skills for all students.

> How is it done today, and what are the limits of current practice?

Currently, students are grouped by ability (”reading level") for reading instruction. This means that students who are considered below grade level are rarely exposed texts at grade-level complexity.

> What is new in your approach and why do you think it will be successful?

Instead of grouping students by ability, I will create mixed-ability student groups to read grade-level texts with all students. I will provide differentiated support for students who cannot yet read selected texts independently. This approach is supported by Young's (2022) research, which detailed greater reading level gains for emerging readers.

> Who cares? If you are successful, what difference will it make?

Students who are considered below grade level in reading will show increased gains compared to the previous approach.

> What are the risks?

This approach requires more reading instruction expertise from teachers. Teachers who are unable to adequately support below-grade-level readers risk further delaying these readers' progress. Because this is a change to widespread and currently accepted instructional practices, it is likely that many teachers and parents will resist changes to the program, either explicitly or by falling back to previous practices.

> How much will it cost?

The only significant cost is in teacher professional development, which I estimate to be $X for the first academic year and $Y in subsequent years.

> How long will it take?

The new approach will be rolled out within the first 2 months of the school year, with ongoing professional development throughout the year.

> What are the mid-term and final “exams” to check for success?

We will continue to rely on the same reading assessments we have been using. We will also conduct qualitative evaluations of teachers' and students' attitudes toward the program in November, February, and June.
I personally love the neovim community. The subreddit is full of helpful people and the core developers / contributors are absolutely wonderful people. Everytime neovim has a major release, there is a presentation and plenty of interviews with said wonderful people.
Android is running a Linux kernel, yes. But, as an enthusiast GNU+Linux desktop user you'll find that you can't do your linuxy stuff on Android - sure, termux does a lot, but it's just not the same.

The Surface Go 2 that the article is about, is an x86_64 device - I recently aquired one and it's really quite nice with Linux in my limited testing. The biggest difficulty with a standard desktop GNU+Linux on a tablet is that most distributions are not optimized for easy tablet use - KDE Neon User Edition e.g. does not come with a virtual keyboard preinstalled.

On Yoga style laptops: Well, they are easier to get started with, but they often are quite a big bigger and having those keys on the back all the time... It's doable, but if you want a "nice 10" tablet" experience these devices are just not what you will want: Too large, too thick, too heavy.

What you're describing is the truth in basically every country with a similar income. The point still stands.
You are making a lot of assumptions about what someone wants/intends when they contribute to open source codebases. If an author chooses, for example, the AGPL, I think they clearly had a different intention. Like it or not, not everyone wants to dedicate their work to the public domain.
You're blaming the Dems for relying on a precedent staying a precedent, as if that's a dumbshit rookie move, as if what the Rs did (a series of nominees lying about their beliefs in order to overturn a popular ruling) is a normal thing to do that they should've expected. I don't think that's accurate. I think this is pretty unusual, and the main reason the Ds didn't work harder to pass a bill legalizing abortion is that it was already legal.

In any event, you seem to have missed the point of my post, which was that we can't assume that things like contraception, gay marriage, and interracial marriage are safe from being overturned just because a plurality support them. You said banning contraception is a "scratch issue" with evangelicals, and I'm pointing out, so is banning abortion, and yet, here we are.
You're deeply confused if you think SA is/was not essentially defined by some of the most capriciously cruel people online. The founder just shot himself after leaving behind a wrecked family with multiple ex-wives, abandoned children, and DV convictions. FYAD, Helldump, etc. really define the spirit of SA, and it's also a precise counterexample to your argument about paywalls being a good thing.
Is Indian astrology falsifiable?

At some point it becomes a matter of who's available for what, and for what pay. Newspaper jobs and journalism degrees are a match in terms of availability and pay. Likewise programming jobs and CS degrees. If someone gets past the "hump" of learning a lucrative technical field, it's going to be hard to hold them back from going further to the point where they're capable of working in that field.

There's probably (haven't ever checked the numbers) a situation where it's cheaper to pay a technical writer to write documentation than to have a programmer do it.

For that matter there are engineers who are "secretaries for engineers" in the sense that a junior engineer or designer does work for cheaper than what it would cost for a senior engineer to do it. A lot of engineering is like the proverbial iceberg, where 85% of the work is invisible and doesn't need extensive domain knowledge, such as detailing drawings after a senior engineer has done the hard quantitative engineering. I'm one of the domain experts at my workplace, and I do get asked questions related to my expertise, but it doesn't happen all that often.

I got a science degree at a liberal arts college, meaning that I learned enough to do decent technical writing. But going into science writing would have meant a sacrifice in terms of pay and probably job security.
Can anyone please share your personal experience with AWS Solutions Architect certification? I hope to complete it someday. Do you have any other suggestion?
There is a world of difference between this being an issue of states and it being an issue of the feds. I don't recall abortion in the enumerated powers. For sure they could regulate interstate commerce for the purpose of buying an abortion, but I am not even sure they would have anything to the argument if you were traveling to a place and then got an abortion in a state you were in (even temporarily).
Make the companies importing the products responsible with heavy fines. I assume it would take a week until there are multiple companies run and overseen by non-Chinese employees which would certify how much carbon was created during production.
I can do an instant SEPA transfer within the EU for a flat fee of 20€… For 5,000€ that’s literally fractions on the cent. There are plenty of other options if you dig deep into permutations of banking systems, neobanks, payment apps, etc.

“In October 2015, we collected serum samples from 218 residents in four villages in Jinning County, Yunnan province, China (Fig. 1A), located 1.1–6.0 km from two caves (Yanzi and Shitou). We have been conducting longitudinal molecular surveillance of bats for CoVs in these caves since 2011 and have found that they are inhabited by large numbers of bats including Rhinolophus spp., a major reservoir of SARSr-CoVs.
[…]
As a control, we also collected 240 serum samples from random blood donors in 2015 in Wuhan, Hubei Province more than 1000 km away from Jinning (Fig. 1A) and where inhabitants have a much lower likelihood of contact with bats due to its urban setting.”

I get that you may want to move here if you want to have kids, but isn't Europe declining at least as fast as the US?
You don't necessarily need to enforce it globally.

Europe is currently working on a carbon adjustment mechanism which would deal with this kind of problems [1]. It is an extremely complex mechanism to build but it could address the main problem with local carbon taxation.

Even better: such mechanism, once implemented, could also be used to twist the arm of countries without a carbon tax of their own or countries are not committed to reduce their emissions by penalizing them harder than other countries.

You don't need to "dismiss the possibility" to say it's unlikely. There's really zero evidence this kind of research has been done a) at all in this lab b) on this Virus c) the virus leaked. Nor is it even clear the virus originated in Wuhan at all.

"Lab leak hypothesis" sometimes includes the "gain of function" theme and sometimes it doesn't. I find neither very likely, neither has any evidence to back it up. I still think the zoonotic hypothesis is the most likely truth, if not for the fact that we know this has happened so often in history. Any other hypothesis needs extraordinarily good evidence to convince me otherwise.
Some operations lend themselves well to a graphical interface, such as partial staging and interactive rebasing. Others might not. As long as you show and read before pushing to a remote repository, the worse you can do is create extra work for yourself.

However I'm not sure Kraken is a good example. The GUIs for git are all similar, but Kraken has some unfortunate combination of being counter intuitive at times, and very easy to access undo and force buttons.

We have a lot of developers using all common GUI tools and the ones using Kraken are the only ones who not only regularly end up not only shot in the foot but force pushing the remnants upon their colleagues. For what it's worth, the few using Magit seem to have the least trouble but I suspect they may be more familiar with their tools. The ones using IntelliJ seems alright too, as long as they don't venture too far outside the familiar edit and push cycles.

Generally, any graphical git tool should probably be as closely integrated into the IDE as possible. That's where it's most useful.
Oh please share your list. I'd love to hear it.
This didn’t apply to my company as we were just a product company and didn’t have any relationships with Microsoft (or Novell or Sun) other than buying their licenses.

I later worked for consulting companies where these certs came in handy for the reason you describe.
Modern OOP was introduced later. From what I can tell, the only new technical capability was implementation inheritance, which is strongly frowned upon these days.

Rust is a bit closer to the older OO ideal in that each object is its own private machine that encapsulates/protects its own state, and is late bound. The borrow checker allows the compiler to statically check that each use case of a given class is memory/threadsafe, and enforces basic state machines like "finish using this reference before calling next on the iterator", or "give up the ability to read() this network handle before transferring it to another thread". Modern OO completely fails to provide safety for those sorts of APIs (e.g. Java's ConcurrentModificationException is a compile time error in Rust)

On top of that base, you can build progressively more expressive OO-style API contracts, such as connection pools.

So this isn't nice, cause you touch upon the threshold. You keep an eye on it and you are aware. So you will be fine hopefully it drops further.

That's called astronomy, not astrology. It's fine to be fascinated with the sun, moon and stars and go outside to look at them before dawn.

It's not okay to think they influence events here on earth (like tides, winds, moods) through "invisible forces" (like gravity).
There's a wild leap of faith between saying someone handled samples badly in the past to saying they are responsible for the current pandemic.
I just looked to fact check this, and all the sources I can find says the patient died of pneumonia, not heart failure and that the heart didn't fail and continued to work up until death.

So no, the first transplant didn't "fail even sooner" because it wasn't the heart that failed.
When humans make a direct copy of something it can be considered plagiarism or copyright violation, and any work produced in this manner is potentially subject to serious litigation and consequence.

There are different levels of learning and reproducing. I think you could easily make a "neural net" trained exclusively on a copyright work, that reproduces the work exactly on request. Simply because the data entered and then subsequently exited a black box of a system doesn't mean it was transformed in any way.

If you have a movie camera and you use it to record a copyright movie at a movie theater and upload your recording, you used a creative tool but in a way that directly violates copyright. I don't see why using a tool like Copilot to reproduce a copyright work is any different.
> Do you think we can stop secret viral research in China if they want to do it?

We could probably start by not funding exactly that, not sending our scientists there, not openly exchanging these processes and techniques with them… if they aren’t going to be reliable and upstanding stewards.
> I wouldn't expect a piece of the bureaucratic establishment such as yourself

Good Lord, presumptions much?

I said I was DPO in my last job. I was also the main sysadmin, and as my main role a website developer. This was a company of 10 people including the bosses. Someone had to take on the role.

> It must take a special kind of asshole to say this.

It must take a special kind of asshole to say that, to someone you haven't met and know nothing about.

> but you don't want to say it explicitly here since it makes you look bad. Gotcha.

Not really; I've never evaluated AWS for compliance. The reason I didn't say that is because it's not something I know about. We didn't use AWS; I've used it, but in someone else's coding shop, where AWS compliance wasn't my concern.

May I suggest that you're a bit hasty with words like "clown", "asshole", "weasel" and "gotcha"?

> And of course, the European people elected you their lord and savior to tell businesses which tech stacks they pick and choose because of your interpretation of arbitrary laws. See the problem here yet?

How are things over there in Conclusions, where you seem to have jumped? I have never told anyone what tech stack they should use.

> THE LEGISLATURE CANNOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST A SINGLE ENTITY THIS WAY.

Where in the GDPR is GA mentioned? Or AWS, for that matter?

For the sake of clarity, no legislature had anything to do with the GDPR; it was promulgated by the European Commission, an important part of the EU bureaucracy, and I have never worked for any part of the EU bureaucracy. In fact, I no longer even live in the EU.

> A weasel through and through. What else did i expect from someone in your position?

And what position is it, that you think I occupy? FTR, I'm a retired software developer. The position I occupy is sitting in an armchair.

> So, illegal abuse of power by Government to target a company is fine by you, Mr. DPO ?

Nope. In fact I'm also against legal abuse of power, whether by government or anyone else.

You seem to be very angry; perhaps social media is not for you.
> The bigger and more bureaucratic a company is, the more certs tend to matter.

Also: The more your role is "external consultant", the more certifications matter.
Right. If you are concerned that the only writing on ethics of AI is by people who lack the technical understanding of the field to meaningfully comment, then it is incumbent on the people who are technically competent in the field to meaningfully engage in discussing ethics.

As it is I see AI researchers engaging in a curious doublethink: both assuming that someone else is thinking about the ethical questions, and at the same time whenever someone raises an ethical critique, dismissing it as technically unsophisticated.
Driver's license.

Maybe it sounds obvious, but if you don't have a license, you are crippling yourself.

Even if you don't have a car, not having a license means you don't even have the option of renting one. Also, is is so "obvious" that if an employer notices that you don't have it, he will wonder why. Are you too stupid to drive? Crippled in some way? Economic problems? Have some criminal history? Alcoholic? You may have a legitimate reason, but it is still a red flag and you may need to clear yourself.

Second and just as obvious is a degree. Not so important if you have experience (though some large companies care), but a degree may be the key to a good first job that may launch the rest of your career.

I have never felt the need for any technical certification, not personally, the few I needed were paid by my employer for a specific mission, and done during work hours. Didn't get much use after that. Since I am not an English speaker, I probably could want something like a decent TOEIC score if I wanted to work in a large company in an English speaking country, but I am net even sure.

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but my M.S. was invaluable. Needed it to get into R&D roles, lots of people assumed I was smarter just for having it (it was in a specialized field).
Sadly I simply am not capable of learning languages.

I've tried, really hard. I did 4 years of french, 2 years of spanish, 4 semesters of Arabic, 2 semesters of german, 1 Berlitz tutor session for 3 months in Russian and 3 months of tutoring in Farsi. Most of my grades were AWFUL and I barely qualified for anything. I really tried, but I just don't have the medium/long term memory for language. It also doesn't help that I live in the US.
I don't think this is restricted to Europe.

In fact a lot of AI "stuff" around is barely AI

AI is just the buzzword to make investors curious or grant applications shine
>There was an incident once where a primitive ai system misidentified some birds as a nuclear launch. A submarine captain was supposed to launch missiles vs the United States, which would have ended the entire world. He decided not to.

I think you mixed up a couple of stories.

There was an incident in 1983 where the Soviet early warning system picked up a reflection off a satellite and high-altitude clouds and interpreted it as a launch of 5 US ICBMs. The "proper" reaction to detecting a US launch would be to counterstrike immediately, but the operator Stanislav Petrov has recognized it as an error - he correctly guessed that if push came to shove, Americans would launch a couple more missiles than just 5.

The submarine incident was in 1962 during the Cuban missile crisis. As it was ending, a US destroyer dropped a couple of small signalling depth charges above a Soviet submarine. The submarine did not have ballistic missiles, but it had torpedoes with nuclear warheads. Those weapons required usually permission from both the captain and the political officer - and both agreed that World War 3 has just started and they should engage. Thankfully, the commander of the submarine flotilla Vasily Arkhipov was aboard and in this case also his permission was needed. He instead opted to surface the ship and contact Moscow for orders.

There was no AI present during any of this.

I don't believe birds possess the required characteristics to be identified as an ICBM launch.
We "temper and replace" body parts that "God created" all the time, including hearts. WTF are you even on about?
Thats ridiculous.
It is the perfect forum to bring up such a discussion.

The article does a fantastic job covering the fundamentals.

How do you build on that and take it further?

Is it even worthwhile or possible to have a reasonable chance of thwarting a state level actor?

All fantastic topics.
> It's pretty obvious that without the open source code corpus, such tool would not have been possible

How is that obvious? I am relatively certain that MS committing their entire code base as training material would do the trick, if that's what it took. Or, additionally, maybe licensing some other huge high quality code bases (restricted to just training the ai) for a few million bucks? It's not like it would be an issue to find vendors happy to remonetize their already written code.

Given what's at stake here and who sits at the helm, I don't see how Copilot would not or could not be moved forwards regardless.
Visual Studio even includes a "paste JSON as classes" option by default!
I mean, it's not like governments don't have the financial means to figure something out...
This is all legal theatre to distract from the fact that there is no ownership change. Which is what I said.

You yourself said that all you get is a license, not ownership.

That is not even remotely close to the legal basis under which HOAs have power, which is a lien on the house, not with you.

House: You bought a house with an HOA lien.

NFT: You licensed (do not own) an image. Like YOU quoted there is no ownership change at any point.

These are not even remotely similar.
Agreed. The Lenovo Duet Chromebook is quite nice, and if one ever gets tired of Chrome OS (or once Google drops it, there's already a distribution [1] that supports it.
