At my university, almost all of the math majors and a fair number of engineering students graduated high school with calculus credits.

I think the person is making a fair distinction that most brains are okay at math — and some at each end of the bell curve are good or bad at math.

- - - - -

A few asides:

- really understanding exponential growth requires derivatives/rates of change

- we do a bad job at conveying math subjects in education; you can teach kids the basics of abstract algebra and calculus if you tie the ideas to familiar concepts

- we should definitely rework the curriculum in light of computers

No. You're not the weird one. Most people do not have nudes floating around the internet.
Whether or not Jewishness is completely an ethnicity is debatable, but a very large number of Israelis (and Jews across the world in general) aren't religious at all -- they see their Jewishness as being defined by their ancestors who were practicing Jews rather than by their own beliefs.

Well, in that case you need: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. You could stop Math in 3rd grade for everyday life applications.
There is an interesting, relatively novel body of research studying electrophysiological and genetic correlates of mathematical talent. And among it one can find preliminary evidence showing that even after controlling for general intelligence, there are are some nontrivial differences between individuals with mathematical talent and controls:

Looks like mathematical aptitude really takes a different architecture of the brain.
> You wouldn't know that steps 10 and steps 15 came from the same seed/sample they change so much.

I don't think this is CPU specific, this happens at these very low number of samples, even on the GPU. Most guides recommend starting with 45 steps as a useful minimum for quickly trialing prompt and setting changes, and then increasing that number once you've found values you like for your prompt and other parameters.

I've also noticed another big change sometimes happens between 70-90 steps. It's not all the time and it doesn't drastically change your image, but orientations may get rotated, colors will change, the background may change completely.

> img2img takes ~2 minutes to generate an image with 1 sample and 50 iterations

If you check the console logs you'll notice img2img doesn't actually run the real number of steps. It's number of steps multiplied by the Denoising Strength factor. So with a denoising strength of 0.5 and 50 steps, you're actually running 25 steps.

Later edit: Oh and if you do end up liking an image from step 10 or whatever, but iterating further completely changes the image, one thing you can do is save your output at 10 steps, and use that as your base image for the img2img script to do further work.
'cause they're not allowed to do anything but math

The free market would grind every last human into powder if it could. Labor regulations exist because you can’t trust humans to be various degrees of moral, decent, and empathetic.

If labor regulations ratchet the work week down, you’d be free to offer 32 hour work weeks to employees, and pay them for overtime beyond that. Productivity has exploded over the last four decades (across various economies, developed and developing), it just hasn’t been shared equitably with labor. This effort contributes towards correcting that. Unions in the US brought about the 8 hour day and weekend, for example.

https://www.pbs.org/livelyhood/workday/weekend/8hourday.html

High level, humans exist to live, not to work. The work is a means to economically support one’s life.
You can negotiate a 4 day workweek for yourself if you have the right skill level or are willing to accept the market wage.
I suspect that the M2 air is thrashing the disk pretty aggressively. Diffusion models rerun the same model once per step, so for a generation with 50 steps, you copy the entire model in and out of memory 50 times. That's going to kill performance.

They have a simplistic answers AI that will answer some stuff (like if it can pull direct from Wikipedia or if you were to for example use Google as a simple calculator) that supposedly helps them reduce these costs. I am not affiliated and I am not directly involved but this was my first concern as well - because I am used to search engines being "free" I use them all the time for everything. I know most casual users are even worse - I hardly know anyone who types in an actual URL into the address bar even if they know exactly where they want to go and what the URL is (for example I type in "mail.google.com" when I want to go to my email but most would just search "gmail" into google)
I agree with the stale bot issue and with PouchDB maintenance activity being lower than it should.

But the core features (store JSONs locally, sync them up with CouchDB) have been stable and reliable for many, many years and just work.
Having to use "source" means you have an older version of conda. Python package management is kind of a mess.

I would say that this is the important line to be drawn.
You are going wrong by making up arbitrary numbers. Extrapolation is not a valid technique for making long-term predictions. The curve is non-linear.
A largely renewables+storage grid will help these sorts of outages greatly, however. Most major grid outages can be traced back to things like squirrels bringing down transmission.

Once we have a bunch of storage, and are used to doing grid ops on lots of intermittent generation sources, grid reliability will go up because a power line going down will have lots of potential mitigations that are not possible today.
PWAs have enough support that the ever-growing feature set is great. Particularly with push notifications coming to iOS soon. It's already at a place where most app development should just default to it for the sheer simplicity, control, and platform support you get out of the box.

People pick suboptimal tech choices all the time. They will continue to do so. I'm ok having competitive advantages over the wider field.

If the data doesn't change often and there's no further changes on the data after its created, seems perfectly valid. Optimizing queries takes time; in some cases, building new tables for amortizing parts of the computation. And of often you don't know whats worth optimizing till later so its easy to spend a lot of time optimizing the wrong thing.

I mean he basically cached the results for viewing later. As cringy as it seems, it was probably the optimal solution.

personally, I would have probably built out a materialized view and added memcache to generate json to make it easier to refactor additional output formats over time but that's just me. It still wouldn't have loaded as fast as sending a pre-generated html file.

Well, the idea is to use the specificities of the machine you are running your code to solve a given problem. It's not supposed to be portable, although a god-like compiler might be able to implement those optimizations at some point.

>The main driver deterring PG&E from seeking a 20-year operating licence extension is the 2015 renewable portfolio standard (RPS) of producing 50% of its electricity from qualified renewable energy sources by 2030. PG&E’s model for the future cost of operating Diablo Canyon indicated that the cost per kilowatt hour was going to almost double, since the company would be forced to lower the amount of power it could produce from the plant in order to meet the state’s requirement. Dropping the capacity factor from the current 92% to say 50% would virtually double the price per kilowatt hour since costs are largely fixed.

>The state law which effectively dictates that by 2030 Diablo Canyon should operate at lower capacity each year and buy in power from intermittent renewables has apparently sealed the fate of the plant.

so keep the plant open, get a $Billion handout, but limit the amount generated resulting in higher cost

In some places in Europe, after some period of employment, you can demand of your employer to let you work 80% of hours for 80% of pay. I have team members in Europe on this schedule and it works out well for everyone.

Based on that experience, I'd also be open to such an arrangement for employees based in geographies where that's not legally required, but is legally and practically permitted. My guess is that most people are working a 5-day workweek because they're most comfortable doing that, from both a "well, all of my friends are doing that anyway, so I wouldn't have anyone to hang out with" as well as from a "I'm working for my financial future and working only X hours per week is unlikely to give me the same career trajectory as working 25% more hours per week" perspective.
There are still city / township board meetings. You have the ability to converse with your neighbors. You can write to / contact your local representatives.

If you feel that being kicked off social media is the same as the removal of your ability to engage in public discourse can you tell me what people did BEFORE social media?

8 Ways I Use HomeBrew on macOS to Increase Productivity
While true depending what’s meant by the “best” way. I feel like I can mostly do this mentally without typing it out. I utilize my experience instead of a try and see approach. I know what not to try.

Trying many things is usually far beyond an acceptable threshold of diminishing return. Premature optimization and such.

That’s not to say I am unfaltering, sometimes things don’t work out and I need to rethink it. But I don’t approach a problem with this approach of trying a bunch of stuff.

To maybe throw the question back - what have you done to make 3 day weekends a reality?

The way the post is worded right now seems to be phrased in a way that 3-day weekends are blindingly obvious, but if you look at the history of labour rights I dont see why anyone expects it to just happen without a massive amount of organising
What existing circuit? Most parking lots do not have any electricty wired to them, and outlets on the exterior of buildings are relatively uncomen and woukd be a tripping hazard and generally unsightly if regularly wired to a parking lot. Plus, the charger would likely draw most of the amperage the circut can provide, so using an existing circut is asking for blown fuses.

I can see level 1 in private garages, or somewhere that happens to have a conveniently located 120V plug near the parking spot. But only because the plugs are already there.
I don't agree with your conclusion.

I took years of dance lessons, and at my peak was dancing about 25 hours per week. My social life was my dance friends, made after I started taking it so seriously. My friends also went to dance lessons, and worked to get the moves right. My now-wife, for example, studied for a year to be a ballroom dance instructor then taught courses and private lessons.

In traveling dances like tango and waltz, the lead must learn not only the basic forward motion, but also how to turn corners, and how to avoid people. At the beginning, this took me a lot of effort. My first few tango milongas were mostly "step, step, stop, think; repeat" unable to hold a conversation and dance at the same time.

Things got better once I had enough practice in moving about floor, but at the beginning, it was tough.

And that was after several years of salsa dancing. A real beginning tango dancer would likely have it worse.

There are also people who believe "if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well."

And some people have a sort of impostor syndrome - they know they are beginners, they see the better dancers, and they think people won't like them or dance with them until they get better. This is wrong, but the solution isn't to suggest stop taking it so seriously, but to get those dancers to know it really is okay to be a beginner dancer - everyone was a beginner once. "Taking it seriously" is respected because that's what those better dancers did to become better.

There's also the opposite - beginners who want to learn more complicated moves right away, before they even get the basics down, and end up making the follow annoyed for being lead into uncomfortable positions, being stepped on, etc. To anyone reading - don't be like that.
Very nice to see this available for hardware I own.

This behavior of letting anyone take over the meetup makes historical sense to me based on how I remember the earlier days of Meetup. Back in 2004, I think most meetups I attended ended up being ~5 people getting together at a coffeeshop and we'd just try to come up with things to talk about on the spot. There weren't official leaders (remember that being added later) so I imagine at that time some member probably would informally lead but if they just stopped attending, someone else would take that role.

Is this supposed to be like RunKit [1], but for many different languages?

Our Podcast API product [2] uses RunKit to provide "run node.js code right on our API docs web page". RunKit has been acquired by Stripe. It's unlikely that they'll support more languages.

It would be great to let our api users try out all api endpoints using all different languages right on our web page.

All of those locations will soon have EV chargers. People will demand them as EVs become mass market. My own apartment building has five EV chargers. Destination chargers will be common too.

This will happen slowly at first, but exponentially increase.

And the inverse is true, too: as gas vehicles start to decline, gas stations will slowly start to decline, and then more and more quickly close. People will start to notice it's less convenient to find a gas station, and prices are less competitive.

This will all lead to a nice positive feedback loop for EVs and a negative feedback loop for gas cars.

SEEKING WORK | UK Remote | Tech Writing

I am an ex dev technical writer (30 years in the industry) who keeps up to date with development technology. Looking for part-time work either remote or within a reasonable commute of my Hampshire, UK location. I love docops, docs-as-code and modern doc stacks like Docusaurus. Hate non-modern doc stacks like DITA. I've worked with dev tools, APIs, analytics and ML. Not interested in Fintech/Crypto. I've also spent time in technical Sales and Marketing roles, so can write more salesy material - like technical web content - than product documentation on its own. Contact ropley at the place where the big G hangs out.

I don't disagree with you necessarily but the people who game it now, will game it with 4 day week as well. Slackers are always going to slack. 5 day or 4 day.
The 40 hours split into 5 days is so ingrained into American culture that anything different wouldn't be seen as normal. I had a job I loved that we did 40 hours in 4 days. It was nice having that extra weekday off.
We’re seeing more periods where local weather exceed the survivability range for humans for some portions of the year. When that happens, your “climate control system” would be more accurately called a “life support system”. Viewed from that angle, it becomes obvious that there should never be a lockout to forcibly disable life support.
