My kids did very well in school academically, and weren't particularly bullied (which is not to say that it didn't happen at all, just that it wasn't a big part of their experiences.) They were both fairly popular amongst both students and teachers (for somewhat different reasons), and we loved most things about the school philosophy and staff.

We still pulled them out and are now homeschooling them, largely because of the "socialization" at the traditional school. My oldest in particular was retreating behind a social facade, and his innate interest in just about everything was dwindling, choked off by the social pressures of both his classmates and the sick game of "achievement" that schools present.

I'm not going to say that everything is perfect or even that everything is better. We're a family of introverts, and we all struggle with socialization, but for him the social situations that we seek out are doing far more for him than the forced interactions of traditional school.

And you really have a huge amount of control and opportunities for socialization when you're homeschooling. There are get-togethers with other homeschoolers. There are in-person classes. There are things that would traditionally be called "extracurricular" but we see as core parts of what a childhood should involve. Some people form microschools, or have parents teach rotating topics. The online stuff isn't disconnected from other humans, and as the author of this piece says, it's not the "let's transplant our usual methods on top of Zoom!" bullshit that so many people have suffered with.

There certainly are tradeoffs and tension. If you want self-paced, it's hard to stick with a known cohort of other kids. It requires quite a bit of privilege to have the time and opportunity to shepherd this stuff through. I am greatly indebted to my wife for setting things up and managing them. There's no way it would happen if we were both still working full-time. And it won't work as well for some people—it's not the same for every kid or every family.

That's kind of the whole point.

Check out wave function collapse (this is a good article: https://www.procjam.com/tutorials/wfc/). It tends to be used for this type of procedural level generation.

And, as another commenter noted, also for cities design. There are actually a few versions of this: I worked on one called Delve https://www.sidewalklabs.com/products/delve

Typically they use constraints optimization or wave function collapse under the hood, on top of some sort of procedural generation pipeline. A few others are Spacemaker, Hypar, and Testfit.
My experience in talking to people with chronic conditions that aren’t easily treatable is that Kaiser’s model works great until anything that’s slightly out of the ordinary happens, and then it falls apart. If you’re a zebra (as in “when you hear hooves, think horses, not zebras”), their model is pretty horrible.

Sure, but that distorts sound, which people dont like.

Persistent marks as copy protection doesn't work for media mainly because they deal with the consumption rather than copying side, so just one single non-compliant legacy device spoils the entire thing.

As for fingerprinting, that's a whole 'nother can of worms. I've never seen it be used for DRM specifically but it has been successfully used many times to track down who was leaking trade secrets etc. In fact it might be more widely deployed than most people realize.

The problem with fingerprinting for DRM would be the plausible deniability of an unsuspecting user "getting hacked" and then their fingerprinted copy ending up as the illegally distributed one without their knowledge or control.

Home schooling sounds great until you start talking to the people who home school. There's always something weird about them. This lady is no exception:

>I have been disturbed to follow the ever-accumulating research on cardiovascular, neurological, and immune system harms that can be caused by covid, even in previously healthy people, even in the vaccinated, and even in children. While vaccines significantly reduce risk of death, unfortunately they provide only a limited reduction in Long Covid risk. Immunity wanes, and people face cumulative risks with each new covid infection (so even if you’ve had covid once or twice, it is best to try to avoid reinfections). I am alarmed that leaders are encouraging mass, repeated infections of a generation of children.

I'd love nothing more than to spend time going over areas I find fascinating with a child but I know I have my own idiosyncrasies and multiplying them for the next generation isn't doing anyone any favors. Being exposed to multiple ideas is a good way to keep you from going off the deep end.

as far as I can tell the crypto settings are the only settings that don't sync across devices which I think is a pretty annoying and deliberate dark pattern.
It's easy to get a sense of proportion for these things.

Example: One of the latest fires in Southern California burned through 5200 acres in about four days. What was burned easily represents twenty years of growth.

Simple math: 20 years x 365 days = 7,300 days

The CO2 was released in four days, therefore 7,300 / 4 = 1,825

If carbon re-capture was 100% efficient and 100% reversible (not the case), that means you need 1,825 units of time to recapture what you release in one day.

I used "a thousand years" as a figure of speech to communicate that it takes a massively long amount of time to grab CO2 out of the atmosphere, no matter the source. These are not efficient processes. Even if my figure of speech is off by a factor of 100, it means the annual CO2 contribution by forest fires takes ten years to recapture. That is an unwinnable ratio.

Sticking our heads into the ground and ignoring reality isn't going to solve any problems. For example, there are fires around the world that have been burning continuously for hundreds and thousands of years. And these are not small insignificant fires. If all of humanity evaporated from this planet tomorrow, atmospheric CO2 would still require tends of thousands of years to come down. These are planetary scale problems that are impossible for us to solve. The "save the planet" narratives out there are hubris at best, and money-making/power-grabbing scams at worst.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal-seam_fire

What I find truly remarkable is that we can't even control these fires that burn for a century or more and we are actually buying into the idea of saving the planet. The scale of these fires, when compared to a planetary scale problem is a rounding error, laughably small. One way I think of it is: Put out all of these long-burning fires and they I'll believe we might be able to affect atmospheric CO2 at a planetary scale. Until then, it's a fairy tale. A fantasy.

I really hate articles like this. It's like they're only written for the shippers and their margin and no one else. The country as a whole suffered under those huge rates. Why is "falling" to normal prices a bad thing?
Yeah it really sucks that you can't get a normal computer with decent A/V capabilities (or expansion slots to add them) and instead have to opt for a workstation you don't need since "normal" users apparently only use office.
This is really pretty strange.

RISC-V is a respectable enough architecture, but not better than recent POWER designs, equally open. NASA has an enormous amount of experience with POWER.

Webassembly is overwhelmingly used for malware (https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/ecriminals-increasingly-use...) but at least it's usually just mining cryptocurrency. I'd guess it's only a matter of time before it's commonly used for much worse.
Yes, hopefully in a niche role though.
Also worth noting that it's not the entire MXCSR that needs to be renamed, but just a handful of status bits, so the logic is likely even cheaper than renaming a GPR.
Stupid question: how do you make it give you the additional panel on top and the right?
Not GP, but about 75% of the time, I'm not using any GUI software besides browser & terminal.

In the terminal I'm running a tmux/vim based development environment.

Of the half dozen non-technical users whose habits I know, I think all of them use their PC exclusively for a browser. They could sub in a chromebook, I guess.
Yes. And there is quite a bit of difference between 50 years and 10 million.

To me it seems that as interest rates go up bonds will take the place of riskier investments. Down the road the interest rates will drop again but I don’t think that crypto prices will rise much until that happens. It’s been marketed heavily recently but hasn’t seemed to catch on as much as a marketer would hope.
You're right on. I noticed that Stable Diffusion does well with some kinds of prompts, such as "in the style of <painter>", or with outdoor scenery, or with mythology and illustration. Yet any images of real people are massively distorted, as if Stable Diffusion doesn't understand what a human face should look like.
The issue is that states are largely arbitrary historical accidents.
You'll need this for a variety of things. "Vice" states are located next to more conservative states. Consider the states of New Hampshire, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina.

In the case of healthcare, states have a tendency to shift costs elsewhere. As in, send the sick person to New York City.

I was doing something like this last year when it hit me how bizarre it was that I wanted to see happy animals at farms when the intent was to kill them for the sole purpose of eating them. Like, what do I care if they’re happy if I’m content to take that all away from them? Why is it logical to prefer they’re happy up until the moment they’re killed – do I think their experience matters? If so, why would I kill them? If not, why does it matter if they’re happy?

If I care about their experience it seems really bizarre to kill them unless I absolutely need to. So far I’ve found no evidence that I do need to, and I’ve actually come to enjoy not eating them. I’ve become far better at cooking and it’s way easier to afford high quality ingredients.

I genuinely believe it’s great that you prefer to source food from places that at least make an effort to provide better experiences to the animals. That alone is a huge step forward for animals as well as people. I hope more and more people make the same effort.
I mainly do native (Win32) development. Like I said, staying far away from anything "modern web" related seems to make the biggest difference.
I also noticed the similarity to Knockout. The main difference in the API seems to be the use of a value property vs. Knockout's function call to access the value.

You're assuming the US healthcare system isn't equally underfunded. The US has massive doctors shortages (especially in rural areas), and that's not counting all the care the US just doesn't do because people instead just die since they can't afford to go to the hospital.

I think having a chronic problem with counterfeit items and having the shadowy blessing of the "buy box" on a common item, which requires sellers to basically eat returns that they shouldn't have to, isn't very pro-consumer. This all serves to make them more money at your expense and safety and by essentially gaming the seller against their own long term interests.

I also think shaking the "machine learning" stick at the counterfeit problem is going to be fraught with newer problems that expose the deeper monopoly issues on the logistics and seller platforms that would also be the back end for what this article proposes.

If you care about the products you buy, and they have actual value to you, you're harming your own interests by using the Amazon monopoly power to "impose consumer will on merchants." Functional marketplaces don't and probably can't operate like that.
In the intro he says he switched to chromeOS in 2015. This whole article is "look! Operating System!" Except for once it's not some arch variant or plan9.
This would be funny if it wasn't causing so much death and misery. Putin has been riling his own people and the mentally vulnerable people in the west against the west for at least a decade.

These two articles remind me of a comic-book story. Inventor Gyro Gearloose (Disney, Carl Barks) made a machine that turned rock into ice cream. He put it on an island, started it up, and for some reason fell asleep. (IIRC it was 'mint frappe' ice cream, and 'Little Helper' woke him up.)
> NVMe is actually not any better than SATA SSDs at random/low-queue-depth IO.

The fastest NVMe SSD[0] on UserBenchmark appears to be a fair bit faster at 4k random read compared to the fastest SATA SSD[1].

75 MB/s vs 41.9 MB/s Avg Random 4k Read.

1,419 MB/s vs 431 MB/s Avg Deep queue 4k read

Edit: This comment has been edited, originally I was comparing a flash SATA SSD vs an optane nvme drive, which wasn't a fair comparison.

The thing people are discussing is the 100GiB of RAM line. You wouldn’t typically defrag RAM (although that was a thing back then) and 100GiB is more indicative of HD space and not RAM. So the question is whether the two lines are related and did Weird Al say that defragging his disk freed up 100GiB of RAM (an impossible amount at the time) or 100 GiB of storage and got RAM and disk confused.
Honestly it doesn’t sound like a business then. It’s just a side project.

https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-2500K-vs... is the comparison you’re referring to.

I recall hearing a few years back that User Benchmark was wildly unreliable where AMD was involved, presenting figures that made them look much worse than they actually were. No idea of the present situation. I also vaguely recall the “effective speed” rating being ridiculed (unsure if this is connected with the AMD stuff or not), and +25% does seem rather ridiculous given that its average scores are all over +50%, quite apart from things like the memory speed (the i5-2500K supported DDR3 at up to 1333MHz, the 5600X DDR4 at up to 3200MHz).

An alternative comparison comes from PassMark, who I think are generally regarded as more reliable. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-2500K-vs-AMD-R... presents a much more favourable view of the 5600X: twice as fast single-threaded, and over 5.3× as fast for the multi-threaded CPU Mark.
Mass timber is a specific type of building type which is distinct from wood framing. From this[0] article:

Even Peter Jackson can't make a worthy successor to the Peter Jackson LotR movies. If he can't pull it off, how can anyone else be expected to achieve that level of greatness?
