Were China as intrinsically disadvantaged, or the US as advantaged, as you frame it - then this would be quite a strong argument further in favor of the view that as technologies equalize, economic output becomes dominated by population. The economic gap between the US and China per capita continues to shrink at an exponential rate. This is the US GDP/capita divided by the Chinese GDP/capita for the past 40 years in nominal terms:

1990 - 75x

2000 - 38x

2010 - 11x

2020 - 6x

As China has more than 4x the population of the US, 4x is the cutoff where they will also have a larger economy in nominal terms. They've of course long since greatly surpassed us in PPP terms.

Agree 100%. Micromanaging someone’s lessons by actually reviewing the plans is an exercise in frustration and futility. But as a student you’d know when your teacher showed up unprepared and tried to wing it.
Just wait until the NFT sells for more!
“There’s evidence that Black boys are more likely to be suspended for the same behaviors as other children, right?”

This feels like a statement that needs some serious backing up, since the implication is that most teachers are racist.

Assuming it true, then it’s pretty surprising how we can simultaneously call teachers heroes and racists without much debate.

A lot of the discussion around AI now is about the transition of AI from tool to tool-user. Very few are considering how close we might be to the tool-user to tool-maker transition and how much more world changing that will be. We are at the cusp. https://saigaddam.medium.com/understanding-consciousness-is-...

Can this plug into an existing USB-C port on the laptop? When I don't need it on the go, that would be easier for docking at my desk.
10gig copper ethernet is hotter and more power hungry than the equivalent SFP+. Maybe you’re comparing a faster SFP port to a slower ethernet port?

2 to 5 watts for ethernet, less than 1 watt for SFP+.[0]

I really wish SFP+ and SFP28 would be more common in high end desktop motherboards. They’re more efficient and just better, and they can be adapted to plain old ethernet if needed (at a power penalty imposed by switching away from fiber).
How about Lithuanian?
> removing traffic lights would drive cars' average speed up

My gut feeling is that the "coordination cost" of big heavy cars needs to be paid one way or another.

You can reduce the coordination needed, sure, but the car-centric design of North America cities requires a lot of it.

> many bikers aren't actually stopping at traffic lights

I jump the light as much as I jaywalk - only when I have looked both ways and am sure of the safety.
It's interesting, because through my readings in linguistics, I got the sense that no language is "objectively" harder than any other, that everything is relative to the other languages you know.

Not really. A language's difficulty is often proportional to how much contact it has with outsiders, i.e., how many people are learning to speak it as adults instead of as children. Isolated groups can develop truly esoteric and labyrinthine languages. When a language is being learned a lot by adults the hard parts tend to get polished off.
I've semi-seriously suggested the canvas road twice. I have little doubt we're going to make the same mistakes yet again but it might end up better overall.

Gonna need vulkan, better tooling, and lots front-end brain rewiring. Might happen before the end of the decade
I'm pretty comfortable with my points as they stand right now.
Have you talked to actual teachers about the concept? Based on what you’ve written here, what I understand from teacher friends, and my own child’s experience with looping, you all have a very different outlook than what I’ve witnessed and heard.

My son had his 1st grade teacher loop; he loved her and she loved him. It was a joy to have him feel comfortable with his teacher two years in a row. As a kid with a harder time socially as well as an anxious personality, it was wonderful for him to feel at ease two years in a row and have that stability! In addition, it was especially great for us as we received a unique look at his progression at that age.

No one was REQUIRED to loop. The teacher as well as the student and/or parents could request a student not loop.
Even assuming you're right about the content of this talk,

> showed me that Rust is mostly recommended by people who don't know what they're talking about

You do realize that this is, like, colossally, stereotypically bad reasoning, right? It's ad hominem and improper generalization simultaneously, which is really quite impressive and indicates a singular degree of motivated reasoning.

Yes, lots of Rust evangelists are idiots (not Catherine West, u/spoiler did a decent job showing that). No, that doesn't significantly affect the technical properties of the language that make it useful or worth learning about. There are good reasons to ignore Rust, yours is not one of them.
JSON, YAML, XML, and several other formats are basically various failed attempts to reimplement the utility and simplicity of s-expressions.
It's a tool and a language, just like a programming language. While I don't subscribe to any religious interpretation, I sympathize with the feeling of divinity in math because it is, by design, the language of reality. It is humanity's best attempt to define, abstract and encode what we perceive to be objective universal truths.

Viz. the whole debate around whether math is "invented" or "discovered" (a debate which, IMO, is just arguing semantics for the same thing).
Because my point is that the argument is bad, not whatever else you want it to be.
In theory in the future you'll be able to use the GPL kernel driver with Noveau to have a fully open-source driver stack with not great not terrible performance. It's not clear when that future will arrive.
In my case: several financial institutions that I have accounts with and lots of enterprise apps and gear with web UIs either break silently, have certain functions that don't work, or block with an error telling you to use a supported browser. (If they're nice, they even tell you which ones are supported.)

For a while, Slack didn't support all features on Firefox despite the technology being there, I don't know if this is still the case.
And, of course, the Rolls-Royce and Maybach is likely driven by an employee of the owner rather than the owner, and will not get aggressive in his boss' car.
Yes. For one, science and social studies cover completely different topics. For two, even the math and English cover very different parts of those topics. And 3rd to 4th is also a huge transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn". 4th grade is the first time kids are expected to learn new information on their own from reading it, so it's a very different teaching experience.

Changing grades is like starting again as a brand new teacher.
TBF the performance per watt is also nuts. 7 year old is Haswell-Skylake (same performance mostly)?

The image at the top is a great overview, but sadly it's a image, even though implementing it with HTML + CSS would have been trivial. Sad to see a browser engine not using browser technologies and instead opt for images. Extra sad that instead of putting the same text in the alt text, it just describes that it's a lot of text describing all the new features (and in it, the author confuses what the image is, vs what a "word cloud" is), poor screen-readers who don't get that nice overview.

Shikitega – New undetectable malware targeting Linux - infection case study
That's interesting. It makes sense of course -- the data center isn't selling to customers who come in via foot traffic, so why beautify the outside? A data center seems a bit interesting from a zoning point of view for that reason -- not incentivized to beautify; but not as bad as industrial, not a ton of possibly dangerous waste products...

I guess a not-actively-damaging source of tax revenue is always welcome in a town.
I would suspect it's more gesture based navigation is uncommon among engineers/technical folk vs cmd+[,]. That said the animation shouldn't be stopping other actions - that's imo the issue with any kind of animation triggered by UI actions in general.

For a 30 year old it's $400 to $1100 a month depending on coverage level. A mediocre "Silver" plan is $400 at age 20 to $1060 at age 65, at which point you qualify for nationalized healthcare.
It seems to me that the us education system rearranges the deck chairs while the ignoring the titanic problem that the schools are designed for the staff, not the kids.

I think our school system is approaching a local maxima where the idea that learning sucks and should be avoided is embedded in as many young brains as possible.
They aren't the hotbed of money laundering you seem to think they are.

I spent a fair amount of time in the gaming business, and I can tell you that this statement is patently false. Very little of it gets caught, because the people involved in such schemes know what the rules are and simply work around them. Casinos themselves also sometimes turn a blind eye to such activity when it is especially profitable for them. Example [1]. That occurred even with the reporting requirements.

The modules themselves connect to the laptop via USB-C ports, so if you don't have a USB-C module you can still charge it by removing another module.
In U.S. public schools, this will not be allowed. Schools already do everything they can to discourage and deny teacher switching requests. Why? Because there is a large difference in quality between teachers, and everyone knows which teachers are best, but administrators aren't allowed to fire a teacher with low enrollment because of switching requests, and face class size limits in the case of the good teachers.
you can do patent law!

at least in the US you need an undergrad in a technical discipline + law degree
> On the positive side, it looks like if there was a real emergency the crew could have escaped.

Looking at the video, it seems like the BE-3 engine was having some trouble for about 3 seconds from T+01:01 to T+01:04 - just before the escape system was triggered. In fact, it looks to me like the entire aft section of the vehicle just disintegrated before the escape system plume covered its view. It might very well be that the escape system saved the crew.

Edit: Looking further at the video, it looks like the vehicle also lost attitude control and started tilting at that instant. It could easily be due to the loss of propulsion and thrust vector control. However, it also happens at a very critical stage - close to maximum dynamic pressure (Qmax). Any increase in angle of attack at that stage would put enormous aerodynamic loads on the airframe.
All european US vasals are at least very happy to remember this day.
It is apparent that the 'search' is the indexed content of the prompt used to generate the image. I'd expect a search for 'man' to give the SD representation of such.
Sure, but I think you have a misconception: that those are like compliance tests for developers or have that role.

Rather, those acid tests were tests that test the rendering engine (in multiple aspects at the same time), and are meant for the end users: to give them a nice visual representation of the browser's progress, or lack thereof, and to push browser developers to fix issues that cause visual glitches (with features drawing the test image selected to be nice for layout writers to have) and have them race each other to pass them...
Consciousness is a fun topic and we still have a lot to discover about it. I'm surprised by the things scientists say about it that to me are so obviously wrong. I'll check out your book and add it to my collection.
This sounds like a recipe for disaster. And unnecessary. Surely AR tech has advanced to the point where these road overlays can be done in a way that only the driver can see them.
Could it be the gpu driver/framework? I thought DX12 and Vulkun were meant to be cpu optimised and be able to use heaps of cores.
LatinX is a racist term that is deeply offensive to people of latin american background.

This shares the benefit of "looping" with homeschooling, which is sort of an extreme form of looping I guess. Homeschooled kids benefit tremendously from having a teacher who is _incredibly_ familiar with their previous experiences and learnings, which the teacher can draw upon to teach new ideas.

If a teacher has an even slightly better understanding of what their children already know, they are set up to succeed at helping them learn new things.

It's not the only factor that matters, but it is a big deal especially for earlier grades.
It is profoundly weird to look at everything through the lens of corporate life. There are places where the relationship isn't that of a boss with their boot on their employees' neck.

This topic always reminds me of a great poem[1] by Rudyard Kipling, The Conundrum in the Workshops. Enjoy!

<snip>

When the flush of a newborn sun fell first on Eden's green and gold,

Our father Adam sat under the Tree and scratched with a stick in the mold;

And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart,

Till the Devil whispered behind the leaves: "It's pretty, but is it Art?"

Lightning CSS: A CSS parser, transformer, bundler, and minifier
Why is July 4th relevant?
He starts with a "Webster's dictionary defines" kind of premise and most of the rest is rhetoric. Not one single "woke social justice warrior" values philosophy? That's not blunt, it's extremely lazy thinking expressed with name calling. I had no idea reading this that the author was nominally an intellectual and a philosopher.
Yeah undervolting is always worth it.

You can also limit your i7 power usage, so no need to go for an i3 if you have the money.
Yeah, as a vegetarian who enjoys grilling, I'm curious about this too.
I'm curious what you would have wanted MiniZinc to do?

In general, I think MiniZinc is great precisely because it is a structured way to generate a list of constraints, since this makes it possible to integrate into a variety of solvers. Sure, sometimes the generation and the interchange format can be a bit heavy and I would like better ways to manage that, but it is often still worth it IMHO.

The fact that the language is based on a relational semantics with the unfolding into a list of constraints as a model makes it possible to understand how predicates, nested Boolean contexts, reification, undefined expressions, and local variables all work in conjunction. It is a hard enough problem to solve as is, and I think adding semantic complexity on top of it would make it too hard to do.
MIT’s New Battery Will Change the World
The new Intel processors are efficient, of course if you start doing compute intensive things they will consume a lot of power, the same can be said for ARM CPUs.

You can always force the new Intel processors in low power mode (by activating only the low power cores, at least with Linux) if you want to save power.

Of course there are the other things a laptop is compose of that consume power.

You are using a moral vocabulary to describe a social program. You already lost the point.

I encourage you to read about the Capitol Hill Babysitting Co-op [0] which I find enlightening. It's not about pensions but about liquidity yet it is an interesting insight into why assigning moral values to what is basically an "mechanical" system made to improve the life of people is not just wrong but useless.

I recently finished _An Introduction to Linguistic Typology_, by Viveka Velupillai. It does a great job of summarizing areas of linguistics at the beginning of each chapter, giving readers a good refresh of basic linguistics, followed by extensive examples of the variety of strategies employed by languages across the world. The examples are taken from a truly wide variety of languages, many of which I had never heard of, and there's also extensive discussion of statistical tendencies seen in surveys of a wide swath of languages. The different tendencies found in pidgins/creoles are also treated extensively, and each chapter even has a section on sign languages, which are unfortunately still massively understudied.

Overall it felt like an intro to linguistics course book but on steroids. It was really great for widening my exposure beyond the economically powerful languages that are usually the focus of analysis.
AlphaGo is a pretty good example here. It uses a neural net for evalutation, and that's vaguely inspired by the brain, sure. But it employs a Monte Carlo based game tree search which is probably very different from how humans think.

In addition it learns by iterated amplification and distillation: it plays games against itself, where one player gets more time, hence will be a stronger player(amplification). The weaker player then uses this stength differential as a fitness function to learn(distillation). Rinse and repeat. That's really nothing like how humans learn these games. While playing stronger players and evaluating is a huge part of becoming stronger, there's also a lot of targeted exercises, opening/endgame theory, etc. Humans can't really do that type of training at all.

> And there is another thing too -- you can't deny that a black woman has had a vastly difference life experience than a white man, even if those two people have all the same job relevant qualifications otherwise. And frankly I'd rather have the black woman on the team to offer that perspective, especially for product decisions, because they might have interesting things to say.

I mean, you give a very cliche example. Consider an alternative situation where you need to decide between the same black woman or a Latino man. Or the same black woman and an Asian woman. Should you be permitted to make the same racially motivated decision in this context?

And also: if you're provided race data in the hiring process, you're essentially put in a position to not only make decisions like the one you listed, but also ones regarding other races. You're in a position to establish which races are "above" one another in the hiring process. How can your employer guarantee that you don't do this, even if you say that you don't?

We know of the disgusting things white people have historically done. We also know that white people are over represented in hiring and admissions decisions. I ask: should white people, given their track record, be allowed to make this call?
> You can be a great studio painter, but not be able to "talk to" Stable Diffusion at all. Likewise, you may have zero artistic ability in the traditional sense, but be a prodigy at getting the computer to spit out what you are imagining, or something even better than that.

I'm not so sure about this. Both require visualizing something upfront, evaluating the resulting images and understanding what needs to change.

It's a bit like digital and analog photography. Digital makes the skills of getting a good exposure less relevant and allows post-processing. But a photographer still needs to know what makes a good photo.

This doesn't invalidate the original point though. Making a living as a photographer became harder with the advent of digital photography.
> Maybe if that hub connected to some kind of PCI-E interface and was replaceable I'd take this claim more seriously.

Well congrats, it is connected to PCIe because it's thunderbolt, and there's no hub to need to replace because it has a direct line to the CPU (you can replace the main board if you want).
