I don't teach chemistry... And I certainly don't have a bag sitter (I hope) towards students... But I still sympathize with the professor...

You get 16 weeks or so to teach students a topic... Some topics are MUCH harder than others (learn Microsoft office suite, vs get the Linux+ certification).

I think schools need to do a better job splitting difficult courses, but I think there's a fundamental dislike of course series, since that raises costs to get an education, and in more specialized areas, it would be hard to get enough students to take the second course if people only need or take part 1.
It's harder to gauge someone's ability when they come from outside the institution initially. Plus, since org Chem is not a freshman class typically, you give students some time to immerse themselves in the culture and standards of the school, and then give them a chance to prove themselves.

My undergrad math program was the same - there was a difficult abstract linear algebra class that was the gate to being a pure math major.

"CMSC 430 is an introduction to compilers. Its major goal is to arm students with the ability to design, implement, and extend a programming language. Throughout the course, students will design and implement several related languages."

I wonder what textbook they use. Is the dragon book still relevant?!
Yeah, I read this in the Times over the weekend, too.

It's one thing for art or philosophy students to want an easier class. This is doctors. I don't want someone doing surgery on me who couldn't handle the workload and took the easy way out.

Everything described in the article sounded just like my experience at two different colleges, and I wasn't in for something as important as medicine.

If you can't handle the work, then maybe it's time to look at yourself and think that maybe you shouldn't be a doctor. There are plenty of other professions out there.

Blood Meridian is worth a Nobel on it's own, I've often wondered why he's never received it, he's distinctive and mesmerising at his best.
Then the criminals start off with a jammer and follow up with a baseball bat to the camera (or they steal the camera too). It's always been a cat & mouse game between someone with valuables to protect, and people wanting to take them.
I first heard of Cormac McCarthy when Harold Bloom raved about his "Blood Meridian". I am sorry to say this, I was not moved by Cormac McCarthy. I read "All the Pale Horses", and "No Country for Old Men". I started reading "Blood Meridian", but there was a gruesome scene involving infants. I never saw the point of Judge Holden, even though in my mind, I kept visualizing him being played by Daniel Day-Lewis. My plan is to read "Cities of the Plain" and "Outer Dark" - they are poetic titles, but I wonder whether I should spend the time.

> They have learned they should feel entitled to good things, like being treated well no matter their identity or background or whatever.

Yikes? Everyone should be treated well, that's the default. I'm not saying the class should be simplified, but identity and background should not be a factor (educational background maybe, but that's assessed before people can attend uni).
I also use tmux beforehand, when I plan ahead. But I think this discussion is about those situations where you didn't plan ahead and still need to somehow keep a process running.

Don’t forget you the student get to blow money on this as well. Then professors get to call you entitled.

The mental gymnastics that go in colleges are bonkers. I’m paying for my education, tell me exactly how hard, and what’s required, but don’t set up the ‘product’ to fail.
> If the wealthy (or everyone else) needs more money, and just raising prices will work, why don't they do that anyway?

companies are constantly raising prices to hit the highest price point customers will tolerate. Normally, when prices get too high too quickly consumers eventually get sticker shock and start to feel ripped off so they stop buying the overpriced good (assuming they have the option), so companies lower prices by a very small amount and a new generation of consumers come into the world where the almost too high price is "normal" since it's all they've known and the whole process repeats and prices just climb and climb which is why everything when your great great grandmother was alive cost a nickle but today you pay using stacks of bills.

Right now though things are pretty messed up because every company had an excuse that let them jack prices up without customers blaming them. Companies said "Supply issues! Don't be mad at us! We're all in this together!" and consumers begrudgingly accepted excessively priced goods because "that's just how it is, extraordinary circumstances" and a generation of consumers now sees those excessive prices are normal. Some companies continue to limit supply, dragging their feet ramping production back up, because they're making money hand over fist and pulling in record profits while consumers are forced to scale back and watch their standard of living decline. Now companies are saying "Don't blame us, it's this damn inflation!" and since consumers are expecting it, they can continue to jack up prices while continuing to make money hand over fist. They don't ever want to lower prices and accept a little less so prices must continue to go up and up just like before, but now it's happening at a rate they couldn't have gotten away with previously.

Companies could accept making a little less profit and lower prices and inflation would drop. They don't want to though because for them greed is the whole of the law and anything less than higher profits and endless growth is failure. Consumers could help by refusing to buy the things they love and have spent their whole lives becoming accustomed to, but they're still traumatized from a global pandemic, they're desperate for normalcy and the goods they were forced to do without for 2+ years and in denial about the fact that their lifestyle is declining and things are only going to get worse.
I remember taking 330 at UMD and first learning about programming language design, ASTs, different programming langauges.

It was soooo cool. I didn’t take 430 though, favored the classes on network security and protocol design instead.
The only difference between Boomers and Millennials is chronological.

They both have the same sense of entitlement. They both have the same obsession with money. They both have the same persecution complex.

And they love to blame each other for everything rather than face up to the fact that life isn't fair.
I do this with the Home Assistant app on my phone. When the battery level gets to 80% it triggers the smart plug the charger is connected to, to switch off.
My phone is 3 years old now and according to AccuBattery still has a battery health of 2499mAh out of a design capacity of 2700mAh (Based on 977 charge sessions for 1,215,025 mAh total)
The ability to upgrade was only available for songs purchaseable as DRM-free on iTunes. I still have tracks in my library with the DRM because the distributor went out of business, making it impossible to upgrade.
I think the sticking power of languages like PHP, Java and the like are chronically underestimated. They may not be growing as fast as ${LANGUAGE}, but they sure aren't going away either. The benefit of having a stable and mature ecosystem to can't be overstated.

You can probably in general estimate the expected lifetime of a language to be at twice as long as it has currently existed.
I've been using Castopod for over a year. I deployed it for my podcast using https://linode.com on Debian after my last web host lost my data in some sort of internal mistake (or rogue-employee deletion). I used the experience as a chance to learn some server administration and to "self-host" our own show.

It's been a great experience. The developers and community is active on Discord (before that, I had only used irc and webchat) and they are always willing to help. The software is always getting new podcasting 2.0 features and actually feels exiting again, similar to podcasting circa 2004.
Surely it's relevant to point out their long history of illegal surveillance and parallel construction?

If hydrogen at every ~100km could be achieved by 2028, it could be quite cool!

While electric cars are cool and all. Due to the degradation of batteries I worry if they'll ever make it to second hand market and if for people buying used cars, would buy an electric one, knowing that you'll probably need to replace the battery, which at that time could cost more then the car.

That's why I'm excited to see hydrogen because those should work even without a battery. (I haven't taken a closer at hydrogen cars, thus the message above assumes that they function like hybrid cars - diesel/petrol/hydrogen generator makes electricity for electric engines...).

Most people start their car journey with cheap second hand cars. My car Citroen Saxo 1.0, year 2000, golden colour, cost me 350€, I don't think electric cars could ever be that cheap. (I got both summer and winter tires too).

Hydrogen on the other hand could perhaps be that cheap once manufactured in big enough numbers.

An intuition for calculus is essential for being an informed citizen.

You can't be an informed citizen in todays' complex world if you do not understand the difference between linear and exponential growth and if you have no intuition how changes in the rate of change affect the total.

That being said I think maths is taught quite badly in the US.

There is no point learning the rules if you don't have an intuition or can at least prove WHY they are like this.

Yet the US focuses way too much on the "rules", and way to little on the intuition.
> If I pay $60k/year, I can’t fail out.

That's some serious entitlement right here. Why can't you fail? What's the point of education then when all one needs to do is to pay some money and do their time?
> Despite freeing more buffers than we allocate

Technically, I hope you understand that this isn't possible but maybe I am misinterpreting what you're trying to say.

auto buff = malloc(N);
free(buff);
free(buff);

is one way to free "more" buffers than allocated but this will lead to an UB and depending on the underlying system allocator implementation it may or may not crash.

However, given how silly this would be I believe this is not what you're trying to convey?
I think you are conflating quality and safety. While quality control can certainly help with ensuring safe operation of industrial equipment, I don't think a laptop LCD panel breaking is a safety hazard, although it is still a quality issue.
Reminds me of this one teacher we had, he was teaching err. Database abstractions and data modeling and the like. I don't think he was a very good teacher, very uptight and "just so" and whatnot, kind of old fashioned. I heard through the grapevine that he was actually fired at some point, citing incompetence. He sued, basically saying "prove it"; the school couldn't and had to hire him back.

I mean I didn't like the class but it was just the one, it was manageable enough.

“ Today these are not major problems for us, and frankly, I’m not sure how we’ll tackle these problems. Maybe we’ll grow multi-region support and buy really big Postgres boxes. Maybe we’ll move to sharded Postgres. Maybe we’ll switch to Kafka or some other distributed queue. ”

There seems to be a bit of a sleight of hand going on here. The argument being made is mostly about what values people hold being facts. Usually when people make a distinction between facts and values though they are not saying that what values people hold are not facts but rather that what values people should hold are not facts. Is vs ought.

Obviously the author understands this distinction so I'm not sure why it seems to be ignored / glossed over here.

You can make a case that what values ought to be is also connected to facts and I would tend to agree with that argument but it's not really the case that is being made here.
Oh wow. Which tracks?
Most compilers don’t work anything like the Dragon book describes. It’s interesting as an historical artefact but not a reference book.
That sounds really, really nice, genuinely. In the US though, I fear we would fail just as badly on this front with fully government-funded universities. We have pervasive cultural problems and I worry the government would institutionalize them rather than acting as a bulwark against them.

In many localities, government-funded K-12 has the exact same problems exemplified by this orgo prof's firing, except the taxpayer is compelled to fund the dysfunction. The silver lining is the charter school movement, which at least sometimes allows families trapped in bad school systems to escape to a better culture, but even in the charter system there is a good amount of exploitation masquerading as education.

I think the "enlightened" libertarian view might be needed here - if your university becomes a diploma mill, it ceases to be useful to employers. Eventually, students realize it no longer provides the signaling value it once did and go elsewhere. And gossiping about the failure of standards hopefully accelerates this process.

There is a product called "ghost wire" - about 6 inches of paper thin Ethernet specifically formed for fitting into the gap between a window frame and the sliding glass. The Ethernet itself is shaped like the letter "U", so it conforms to the paper thin gap and the window still operates normal. These are designed to enable Ethernet to transparently (without building alteration) be added to properties that cannot/shouldn't be altered.
I get the hate for sprints, and the bastardisation of agile. I think however, the root cause of this is the way in which our society as a whole has been modelled, in a top down manner where control is wrested from the bottom, and perceived control is given to those in between. Each of these articles that make, valid criticisms in my opinion, always makes me think of Bullshit Jobs [1][2]. Most of our lives nowadays are inundated with menial bureaucracy, and each attempt to reform it within bureaucractic systems has simply lead to the red tape being rearranged. I think this stems from our hesitancy to have more horizontal models of ogranisation.

No, it was exacerbated by ever increasing tution fees.

You don't see this 'costumer' pressure on professors in fully funded public universities elsewhere in the world.

You are being given the privelege of access to higher education. However if you suddenly have to fork multiple years worth of savings to access it, it is likely that your level of demands (even if not legitimate in this case) is increased.
I mean the best thing you can do as an immediate reaction is call the police. Otherwise, hope nothing personal is stolen and that you can use the footage to claim insurance.
That's realism, not pessimism.

Optimists and pessimists are both unrealistic, for different reasons.

Optimism is unrealistic because it wants everyone on the happy clappy hype train, and people who aren't on will be resented. Collectively it's quite tribal, even culty.

Pessimism is unrealistic because it misses opportunities that have a realistic chance of success.

But they're only two broad kinds of unrealism out of many others. For example:

Working obsessively on a project that interests you without doing any market testing.
Using the latest tech stack just because everyone else is using it.
Believing that customers will definitely sign up if you add that one feature they want.

It's lack of realism that kills you, not two specific subtypes of it.

Part of it is to ensure that your medical students are not terrified by "chemicals". Plus, doing organic chemistry instills into you the idea that reactions may not be pure, and that enantiomers are both real and potentially problematic (see thalidomide). It is at minimum a way to get you to be able to ask critical questions when needed, even if there is already an infrastructure to answer those questions for you.

It is sort of like learning C but programming solely in Python: you can get your job done, but when one of your abstractions breaks it is worthwhile to be able to at least identify the root cause and talk to the right people.

Look into Ethernet Ghost Wire, that is exactly what they do.
Thats a great framework! Still struggling with this and quite frankly when realising that I spread my attention thin, that only gives more anxiety after some time of unfinished things.
My own personal experience is that every single time I try to be positive about changing anything for the better in any way, the vast majority of humans I voice any "optimism" to are hell-bent on beating that "naïvety" out of me. The problem I see is that humanity as a whole has much of what we need to build a Utopia for all, but almost nobody actually wants a better world for anyone let alone for everyone. All the technology in the world does only harm if the only thing people want to do with it is "weaponize" it in the service of greed and power-lust. There's nothing "amazing" or "transformative" about repeating the same old mistakes humanity's been guilty of since pretty much the dawn of "civilization".

Perhaps instead of actively trying to find excuses to dissuade "optimists" from even trying, society might be better off trying to teach that supporting good ideas that benefit everyone is a good thing, not bad…
The word "cars" appears exactly once in the whole dashboard, so I would assume it covers consumer vehicles, not cars.
Cosine similarity is a fixed way of comparing two vectors, so we can think of it as making a difference: A-B = d

If d is close to 0, we say that both embeddings are similar.

If d is close to 1, we say that both embeddings are different.

Imagine we have the following data:

- Image A and its description A

- Image B and its description B

We would generate the following dataset:

- Image A & Description A. Expected label: 0

- Image B & Description B. Expected label: 0

- Image A & Description B. Expected label: 1

- Image B & Description A. Expected label: 1

The mixture of Image Y with Description Z with Y!=Z is what we call "negative sampling"

If the model predicts 1 but the expected value was 0 (or the other way around), it's a miss, and therefore the model is "penalized" and has to adjust the weights; if the prediction matches the expectation, it's a success, the model is not modified.

I hope this clears it
And there is the crucial difference: you would need to bypass the voltage limiter on purpose, your display wouldn't be ruined by mistake just by putting a slider to the maximum possible value.
