I went to a math oriented boarding school. When one started school, a test was administered to determine one’s initial math course. Students began their studies in a range of classes from Geometry all the way to MVC/Analysis. Having seen the standardized test scores and GPAs of many thousands of students at this school, and knowing many of these individuals personally, there is, at best, only a weak relationship between their terminal math course and their intelligence. We had kids who started in geometry and received perfect GPAs and SATs and were brilliant. We also had kids who started in Calc 2 or MVC and barely graduated.

This is true for any rigid body traveling through a fluid. It comes up in ballistics too.
The smaller speakers in a TV naturally compress the dynamic range because they can't get loud, and especially can't get loud in the lower frequencies that travel more easily through walls. Getting good speakers actually makes the dynamic range problem worse since the loud parts get even louder and travel through walls even easier.

Soundbars have really good margins though, so it's unsurprising that that's the solution they sell!
Why are you being constructive?
It’s not so much about getting paid by NYT, but rather about NYT going through every word they paid for, and deciding whether to publish it or not after all. Facebook and Twitter do not do that: while they do have some very basic automated filters, they are extremely hands off with the large majority of the content on their platform, only reviewing maybe a single digit percentage of published stuff, and only after a fact. Because of this, they claim that they shouldn’t be legally liable on content published on their platform, as they weren’t making any decisions whether to publish it or not. This is the major difference with NYT: NYT does not claim that it’s just random writers publishing in it, and they don’t pay much attention to what is inside.
You said through a VPS. Not the VPS provider's email servers. And you suggested Linode. It looks like you can't send through their servers.
I grew up watching anime with subs and at a certain point it just became natural to have subtitles on even when the content is in English.
This is something I might do with a movie I love and could act in, actually I used to do it with DVD's that offered it.

But as a 'go to', that's like reading the comments before the article.

Seconding that. Also some movies/shows have potent actors yet somehow they have terrible delivery^, but the subs are good. In that case I either lower volume (and mentally shut away voices) or outright turn sound off and use the power of imagination^^.

^ also applies to bad dubbing + original audio not available

What damage though ? Let's consider Covid and The Capitol riot.. In both cases, a$$-hat-ery by the vocal, idiotic minorities, whether it be meeting up to 'storm' the capitol only to get arrested after you realize inside the capitol that 'oh sh*t this doesn't do anything...' or after you die from Covid because you thought the vaccine had chips in it .. What damage is done in those cases ?
Ok we lost 1 police officer in DC due to some very controversial-linking to the riot itself (he had like a heart attack). And thousands of people die from not being vaccinated, but the majority of us do not..

I'm just having trouble seeing at least from these two 'disinformation' scenarios.. how damage is really being done to the rest of us, and I know the Covid one will be the far-greater point of contention with the argument not being vaccinated or convincing others to not be is dangerous to you/me .. I get that will be more of an argument..

But I'm just not able to see the 'damage' that really warrants so EASILY going down the path of censorship
I sort of doubt there's really a so-called generational gap. I suspect it's just the usual click bait.

I'm sorry I don't have the link but there actually was an online lament by professional sound crews for film/TV that I read a few months back. Sound is apparently compromised by the usual suspects: creative egos, competing priorities, actors' failure to enunciate clearly, and failure to appreciate the technical nature of audio recording. In some cases, the director instructs the sound crew to "capture" the performance after the scene is shot. I've never worked on a set before so I'll leave it at that and say that as an older person, I love CC and use it all the time whether I'm other-tasking or not!
> The package authors did not need to coordinate to make this possible which is pretty wild.

It works because `f` is polymorphic. The type of its `x` argument is not constrained in `f`'s definition, so you can plug in any `x` of any type you want provided that `x`'s type implements the methods used in `f`'s definition. With the `Dual` scheme you get to use as `x` a "dual" of `y` (`f x`, for some `f`) and `y'`, and then you get an `f` applied to that `x` where the actual `f` is parameterized by the actual `x`'s type, and so the methods called by `f` are those that apply to `x`'s type. So instead of the traditional numeric addition and multiplication, you'd get the "dual" addition and multiplication, and then everything "chains" through and you end up with `diff f x` being the `y'` in the dual of `y` and `y'` (you don't care about the `y`, just the `y'` because you want the `diff` -- the differential or derivative).

It's brilliant.
The fact that these standards (?) or versions (?) of C++ are so wildly different to summon these types of opinions is mind blowing to me. I like languages like F#, Elixir, Erlang, etc. that have cores that basically never change and just add quality of life improvements, and so I have never experienced this. C++ seems like such a minefield that C++ developers have little in common with how other C++ developers work, experienced or not.

Every college class is an IQ test, that's pretty much inherent in any sort of post-K12 education. Calculus is just really badly taught and has a misplaced focus on material (like computing closed forms of tricky integrals) that's less and less relevant in the computer age.

This is why they are always on in our house. I think people who understand fine take for granted how hard accents can be.

My wife is ESL. She understands me fine, and the 'neutral tv accent.' She can't understand a word my father says(Appalachian accent). Can't understand British people, Boston accents, etc. She's learning, slowly, but I've never even thought about how amazing it is we're able to process all the different ways people speak, rather seamlessly.
It's standard for users to clamor for changes to misleading titles, and standard for moderators to accede to the clamoring. We do that because otherwise the thread fills up with ever more complaints about the title.

The OP is a press release and such titles are usually overstated and need to be changed anyhow. This is in the site guidelines: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait" (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). This one seems designed to aggrandize the study (as well a press release should, I suppose), so the complaining commenters had a point or two.

I started using captions as a teen because of watching anime, and then I started doing it with normal tv. I am not in my 20s but I think a big part of it is that most tv shows and movies have become absolutely impossible to hear what they are saying. I think speakers on TVs have gotten really bad with the transition to flat screen, and even with a sound system the mixing of audio has gotten really bad. Music and sound effects go over the dialogue too much. Movie theaters its fine, so I am not sure what they are doing differently.
Yes, panels at 80% have good resale value. If you have room, you just add 20% more. If not, you sell them and buy more.

There is a case for different education perspectives for different majors (trying to teach in a more familiar way for people with different backgrounds).

But dropping it entirely?
Why are you in that major to begin with?
It's like going into compsci and not expecting math.
Interesting point. I am not academically inclined. I got a BS in Physics at UCSB 50 years ago. I was in a special research project (10% of my incoming Freshman class) where we had no course requirements to graduate except for our major. I ended up taking a calculus class every term for four years. I was amazed the Math department offered so many different calculates classes. So, I took all my units in physics and math/calculus classes except for a few required chemistry and biology classes, and for fun I took a philosophy class and three anthropology classes.

I feel really sorry for the young woman mentioned in the article having to take what was for her an unnecessary class. As a non-academic, my casual four years to get a BS was probably really good for me.

Hm. I think it’s a great thing to debate, but I think the issue, as identified by the author, is how calculus is taught to various audiences. I think it is a bit short-sighted to suggest people with ambitions in the life-sciences do not need to know how calculus can be used to describe the world.

I think my experience suggests that even outdoor types who are drawn to field work should learn calculus in some functional way if they want to do science. I did an undergrad in environmental sciences and biology, but understanding the role of modeling in theory and practice is key to those fields and makes heavy use of calculus. I went on to get a PhD in ecology, but I used calculus explicitly and implicitly routinely. There is great satisfaction in writing out ideas and hypotheses about the world and then translating them into math and then code so that you can play with those ideas. Sometimes that just requires algebra, but it usually pulls in calc.

The other risk is that by not learning broadly about the fields that are foundational to conducting science you simply limit your options. Maybe that field tech job loses its luster after a while and you start to want to understand how plate tectonics affected how the dirt got this way. Need calc. Personally, I switched to industry and do a combination of data science and engineering and calculus continues to be useful to me in practice and as a way of reasoning about the world.

On the flip side, you can always learn it later when it does become explicitly needed. But again I think the problem is teaching geologists and biologists to do epsilon-deltas but not showing them how to specify and simulate a model based on rates of change of growth or propagation of waves or whatever. A lot of coursework is not thoughtfully conceived or delivered and the concept of weeder courses is super lame. But thats not the fault of calculus.

+1 for requiring statistics too but virtually all of the above applies there too.
The indentured servitude statement is apt: the GP implies that willful entrance into a contract of employment is by virtue of this willfulness incapable of being exploitative. But indentured servitude is entered into in the same manner, and few would deny the exploitative nature of indentured servitude.

Much of the conversation in this thread leaves me a bit sad. Depriving a person a social interaction is some of the harshest punishment given in the US prison system. To assert that instagram, or emojis, or VR is devaluing that in some way doesn’t sit right with me. Even a conversation I might view as “worthless” still gives deep insight into that persons inner thought process. And I’m certain I’d rather have worthless conversations than be deprived of human interaction. Perhaps things are changing too quickly for many people to process, myself included, but overall I’m bullish on new technologies enabling deeper more meaningful connections.
They must be using exploits for that, then, since iPhone lets me know and control all my sensitive information like pictures, contacts, camera, etc!

To be clear, I’m in the “C++ sucks” camp. But I don’t agree that C++ “can’t be fixed”. I’d rather say that some problems with C++ can’t be fixed, but others can be.

People will still use it, and that is entirely sensible and rational, and it makes sense to improve it. Long-term, maybe C++ will fade into the same kind of sunset that Fortran and Cobol currently occupy.

I’m not gonna make fun of Fortran users, or tell them to move on. There’s even a Fortran 2018.

Trying to allocate people to only the “best” possible work—say, replacing C++—is just poor allocation of resources.
What can I say? You are mistaken. Computation is as much about physics as it is about math. It is the study of what can actually be done in this universe with real hardware (including human brains). If you doubt this, read the opening paragraph of this paper:

https://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/pnp.pdf

The only reason that P=NP? matters at all (let alone why it is a foundational question) is because the theory of computation concerns itself with what can be done with actual physical hardware in actual physical time.

> Per analog and quantum, indeed, and they are also mathematics.

No, they aren't. Analog computers are machines. Quantum computers are machines (or at least they will be if we ever actually manage to build one). We can describe the behavior of these machines mathematically, but that is not why they matter. They matter because we can actually build them.
For the longest time I couldn't follow anime with subtitles, it kept me from watching the action.

I think practice helped, but so did reducing the size of the video frame. Turns out having the whole frame in my field of view was a big deal.

> It goes into thorough analysis into why this is such a lazy, stupid decision.

The author, Mike Masnick, is a tech blogger — not an attorney, as far as I've been able to determine.

Even Eugene Volokh — who is both an actual attorney and uniquely qualified to weigh in here — didn't attempt to digest the 113 pages of the opinion, much less immediately produce a reasoned analysis. I'm sure one will be forthcoming.

The quote you cited from Masnick certainly isn't legal analysis. It's empty invective, as are statements like "This "judge" is an unqualified political hack".

Pliss packet data
I majored in CS and minored in Math (graduated in 2013) as someone who both struggled with math and was not the biggest fan of it. My biggest problem was simply caring about the subject matter. None of the instructors I've ever had for math courses put any effort in to showing what the particular subject was useful for. It was all just mechanical "Here's a type of problem", "Here's 100 examples of solving it" (of course I'm exaggerating this part but the point remains). Want my interest? Show me use cases. Don't just shove a ton of context-free examples in my face.
Rust was also a reaction to C++, and is a move in the opposite direction as go.

Go is OK. It's a little faster to get a first version working, but the result tends to be slower and more likely to crash on memory/concurrency issues than a rust version would be.

I use both; go is fine for spaghetti ~architecting~ devops-ing piles of microservices together. Rust is much better for the data path though.

"This opinion is badly reasoned so it's not even worth debating" strikes me as a very poor way of engaging in dialectic.

It's not a way of engaging in dialectic/dialogue. It's saying it's so bad you won't engage in dialogue. That's a legitimate position in some circumstances.

That this is a court decision, however, might mean that in these circumstance one does need to directly challenge despite it's qualities.

> In twenty years of engineering practice I have never once had to take a difficult limit, and can probably count on one hand the number of times I've had to take a limit of any kind.

In principle, I agree that calculus doesn't need to be mandatory. However this apparently respectable counterargument is misframing the situation. A bit like me saying that a given soldier never placed top 3 in a race, or indeed had to run anywhere in a combat situation, and therefore efforts at army fitness training were useless.

Everyone knows that nearly no engineers use calculus in their day job. Therefore, the purpose and measure of success isn't whether an engineer uses calculus in their day job. It is a great signal of technical problem solving ability, it is really powerful having a large pool of people who are trained in working with rates, areas and margins.

Plus, don't underestimate the impact of forcing people to acknowledge that there is exactly one right answer and that it can be proven. There are people out there who genuinely believe that everything is up for negotiation to a limit that just can't fly in a math course and something needs to screen them out before they get anywhere near anything involving high pressures. People who don't have engineers for parents need to be inducted into the culture from a couple of angles.
Maybe spatially separating where sound is coming from helps? Or perhaps not having to overlay multiple audio tracks on a single speaker output allows for higher fidelity due to better dynamic range.

In any case I think my anime watching has resulted in a slight dislike for CC if only because I find it all too easy to accidentally only read, and actually the action going on. I only realized this when I go back and rewatched some old youtube clips and found myself not remembering the actual animation and physical comedy.

Why is it so hard to hear dialogue in modern TV shows and movies?
This is actually a common thing with people who feel overwhelmed. They have so much on their plate, that they don't pick any one thing to work on and do nothing instead.

I have a side project that can consume all my time if I let it. There are tons of features still on my TODO list. There are also bugs to fix, UI refinements to make, documentation to write, blogs to update, etc., etc..

When I feel overwhelmed, I simply pick one thing to do. Sometimes I just roll a die and if it comes up #3 (fix a bug) then I spend some time fixing it. If I fix it and still have time, then I might fix another bug or roll the die again. I don't worry about all the other things that didn't get done. Save them for another day.
It does help quality of the language. A friendly community can attract and keep contributors who otherwise would be pushed away.

It's true! We can. In fact, the “bumps” and grooves of bones (https://www.google.com/search?q=trochanter) are a result of the forces we (and gravity) exert on them.
I was without my glasses and contacts for a day and I tried this out. It helped a lot, and was actually a nice experience. It wasn't miserable like I assumed it would be.

Wound up turning it off when I could see clearly, though. It felt strange to hear about what was happening in a scene just as I watched it happen.

Definitely could see it being useful while multitasking, though. I want to try that out at some point.
