> SAT has been shown to be a proxy for family socio-economic status

The problem is that this argument is in isolation. If SAT is a proxy, how much better are the other activities as proxies? Who has the leisure to participate all those sports clubs, volunteer clubs, writing all kinds of fancy essays? While the poor kids struggle with jobs outside the school work to support the family and are perpetual tired? If u get rid of the SAT score, who are supporting these poor kids?

I don't believe the people who is making the argument didn't know this. I firmly believe that they are bad faithed and hope others can't see through the crack of the logic and eat it up. Who benefit from this kind of policy which favors the kids with 'life fulfilling' resumes? Plus AA, you know fully well who are benefiting (hint, not the poor kids).
You’d think these would be high risk loans (speaking specifically of long amortization Tesla auto loans), but I keep an eye out for repossed Teslas and they are rare.

Might change with the go forward macro, but they’ll be snapped right up and liquidated into the used market based on demand indicators.

(my credit union financed my Teslas for 84 months at 1.75%)

Extraordinary rendition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary_rendition

Reminder: the US ran a global kidnapping and torture program for years. Innocent people were even kidnapped off the streets in Europe by American agents, and flown to third countries to be tortured.
Russia is losing a conventional war to the US, hence why we're talking about the possibility of a nuclear strike. This will not normalize using a nuclear device in an invasion, they're just not that useful tactically.

The bigger issue that needs to be discussed is that we need to recognize that the current balance of power in the world is unstable. The US hegemon is weakening and in this new normal, the current border configuration is unstable and will be corrected to more stable borders. We should accept this not fight a world war over what is an inevitable adjustment.
I would think, personally, that if studying were an important part of scholarship, I said if it was, just hypothetically, then studying for the test of scholastic aptitude would itself demonstrate aptitude for scholarship.

SAT must agree, since they changed the test to be much more amenable to study. That must be the reason why right.
As I wrote already, if an app needs this level of babysitting, fix the code and/or the infrastructure. If having people on-call 24/7 seems normal to management, they need to step up and address the bugs, failures, downtime, and the lack of redundancy, monitoring, and automation. I would strive to get the support burden down to a very occasional alert on my phone that I can respond to from my phone.

When I see this kind of thing with my customers it comes from a combination of unrealistic expectations ("We need 99.9999% uptime for our marketing sites") and over-engineered and fragile infrastructure, code, and development/deployment processes ("Our K8S/microservices architecture can fail in many ways that no one understands.")

I did some work for a company a few years ago that had a cron job that rebooted the web server every day, because that was the solution they had come up with to "fix" the server crashing (Apache + Rails in that case). The actual problem was running MySQL and Apache on the same server, leading to MySQL eventually starving Apache for memory. Once I fixed that Apache + Rails would run for years without needed a reboot. I had another customer with a server that ran out of disk space every couple of months, requiring frantic resizing of an attached disk. Moved them to S3, problem solved, no more calls.

Yes, to think of all the broken bones we could have mended in pre-Egyptian times; all the people who died needlessly from the Black Death in Europe; the sailors we lost to scurvy at sea. The numerous indigenous peoples that did not survive initial contact with European pathogens. So many lives lost needlessly.

No shit, taking advice from a car salesman on how often to buy cars and what cars to buy is about the dumbest thing you can do.

I clicked on this hn link specifically because I had just skimmed through that video and assumed it had to be related. Obv it could be a coincidence, but...

(Not the worst YT to reference anyway, in my view)
The TSSOP package and 003 in the part number suggest that these chips are meant to be a drop-in replacement for the STM8S003 "value line" microcontrollers that used to be popular in China due to their $0.20 price point.

At some point (many years ago, well before the pandemic and subsequent chip shortage) STM8s were hit by a massive price hike, which led to them disappearing almost entirely from cheap Chinese electronics. Several companies developed pin-compatible alternatives, usually based on the ancient MCS-51 architecture; the ones from Nuvoton seem to be particularly common, with one of them even being in charge of driving RGB LEDs on my desktop's motherboard.

Here WCH seems to be particularly late to the party, but this RISC-V chip might finally start killing off the 8051 clones for good. It might even cannibalize WCH's own MCS-51 offerings, ironically.
That's why so many parents advocate for vouchers and school choice. Kids shouldn't be locked into shit schools just because their parents can't afford to move.
There is a phrase of set of phrases I am looking for when it comes to astroturfing / election manipulation/ fake news.

The first is that there are many stories, interpretations or perhaps coherent models. Obviously some stories are inconsistent or falsifiable on their own terms. Then we walk up the pyramid - and stories exist like "stories for children". these are things like "love will always triumph, hospitals are where sick people go and doctors make them better again". These stories are true in some directional sense, and they are true in that there are many facts that will support them, but there are facts that falsify the stories.

And so we travel up the pyramid, and the stories become more complex and nuanced - failed prime ministers should not get 100K pa pensions, but if we don't give officials fat payouts they are at risk of bribery on the job which is more expensive. There are facts that support that argument but it seems less cut and dry - you need a model of bribery and human nature and revolving doors to match up.

As we go further up the pyramid more and more falsifiable stories don't just need the same facts as me to agree with me, but they need other mental models to agree with me. Deserving poor, mentally ill people need to buck up a bit, believe in yourself, etc

I think that surfacing mental models matters as much as surfacing facts. Debunking can only go so far and facts that might help cannot be used if the mental model is the wrong shape.
> This is a community to talk about entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is something you do for a living. A mean to get satisfaction and something you do to feel good.

You can have the best numbers but still be despised by the business community because of the way you act, and similarly nobody in the business community would trade places with you despite your amazing numbers because the way you act denotes mental illness. Money is worth nothing if you have mental illness.

It's exactly the case for Musk and West.

We don't need numbers here, logic is fine.

If it were a proxy for socio-economic status, there would have to be some way for the score to adjust if the student's parents suddenly went broke.

Since there isn't it cannot be a proxy.

Perhaps you meant it correlates? So what? What if it correlates better with success in college than pure socioeconomic status, which I'm fairly sure it does?

Should we just use the less accurate one instead?

The new license is really silly: it grants a variety of entities (open source projects, non-profits, for-profits with <US$1m revenue) an Apache 2.0 license to the code.

All it takes is for one of those entities to clone the code on Github; slap the Apache 2.0 license on it (that they are rightfully using for the project), and anybody can then reuse it under Apache 2.0 as if nothing ever happened. Or for an entity with more resources, set up a holding company with no revenue and get an Apache 2.0 license and give it out to your parent company.

Whatever your stance is on these relicensing things... do make sure the license makes sense and at least achieves your aims!

Grades from different schools are not equivalent.

It's extremely difficult to compare grades from hundreds or thousands of different schools. You have to really know how rigorous each individual school's grade scale is.
Ok, then I've explained myself poorly. I see that there are both facet filters and favorites on the page, both of which affect what the rest of the page shows. In my mind, that's client-side state. It doesn't have to mean that its managed with JavaScript, but the state does exist; its changed any time the user makes changes into any inputs in the browser. Furthermore, those changes together seem to affect the rest of the page, if I'm not mistaken?

My question was where is the favorites (and facet) state stored. Is it in "html inputs", in which case, I suppose they are included in the requests somehow later? (perhaps via `hx-include`). The answer could also be that e.g. favorites are permanently stored on the backend...

Additionally I was also wondering what htmx can do in more complex cases, like e.g. a "sort direction" button, where you need to set the sort column(s) and direction(s) of columns. It feels like its really easy to exit the htmx comfort zone, after which you have to resort to things like jquery (which is a nightmare). Or perhaps web-components, which would actually be a nice combination...
Totally fair! Whatever our pricing does to surprise or annoy Heroku free tier users, it's totally fair to call it out! The only thing that moved me to comment was the implication that we had somehow set out to be the second coming of Heroku. We set out to make every app in the world run close to its users globally. That we're amenable to Heroku people is just a bonus for us. :)

> They picked what they thought was a “fair” set of criteria and it didn’t produce the outcome they wanted. They concluded it wasn’t “fair” because it didn’t produce they wanted. That’s garbage.

No, that's science. If your goal is "more racially- and background-diverse admissions", and you set up a process to achieve that, and then find that your new process didn't work, then the process was wrong. So you come up with a new process.

> If you want certain communities to do better in education, you don’t manipulate the outcome by changing the selection criteria, you produce better candidates. Invest in education and safety in lower income areas.

The problem is that universities don't really have the ability to invest in education and safety in lower income areas. As rich as many top-tier private universities are, they don't have the resources to make a dent in this problem. So you have a chicken-and-egg problem: you can't fix the inequity that causes some kids to get a worse primary education, but you can't give them a better secondary education and allow that to flow back into their communities.

You have to break the cycle somewhere, and it seems pretty obvious that US federal and local governments have been failing miserably at improving education and safety in underserved communities. So you decide that you're going to find kids that your regular admissions practices would have rejected out of hand, but have the potential to learn and be successful at your school, even if there are gaps in their education. No, it's not a perfect plan, but what had been going on before wasn't working either. And maybe this won't work. But I think it's a worth trying.
> Some companies have a "20% time (or X hours) on open source" policy, which is great for the sort of issues mentioned above.

We have this as an unwritten policy at the moment (... that I have been trying to get formalised for a while & need to follow up!).

> It is a good idea to reword your employee contracts to mention the company policy on open source and give employees copyright over their contributions to open source projects.

This is an excellent idea - thanks.

> If you want more separation between your company software and open source software, an Open Source Program Office or just an internal "open source team" is a good idea, although it is always a good idea for lots of folks to have open source experience, so rotating other employees through the team for periods/percentages of time might be good too.

We are not quite big enough (yet) for this, but something like this is already on our radar. We have a pretty major dependency in our stack that is starting to look a bit abandoned & have been idly discussing the possibility of hiring someone to maintain it.

Appreciate the feedback!
Yeah, this was 20+ years ago at international school where materials had to be imported. SAT prep has always been fairly easily accessibkem
You're making up a hypothetical situation where the record is objectively bad. Of course I agree that Guinness shouldn't participate in a force record. I'm saying that you can set aside something bad that someone has done, to do something that you believe in of itself is actually good.

Your point that record setting can be secondarily used as a propaganda tool feeds directly into my point above about considerations of primary action versus secondary and tertiary actions.

By that logic we shouldn't help a dictator build a school or a hospital, because it could be used for propaganda.

This is what I reject
Cutting Down Ockham's Razor
Separate FP registers - it seems most modern architectures have distinct register sets for integers and floats.

This looks to have started when FPUs were optional and/or physically separate, but that's no longer the case.

Any examples-of/thoughts-on of systems that normally put floats and integers in the same registers?
The benefits of SAT test prep seem to be a lot smaller than most people think https://slate.com/technology/2019/04/sat-prep-courses-do-the.... And in studies that have shown a benefit, the control group also tends to improve - meaning that simply taking one practice test ahead of time might have nearly as much of an impact as doing hours of test prep classes.

Also, just curious, how long ago was this that you were preparing for the SAT? It might have been non-obvious to study for it then, but I can't imagine that any kid today who is driven enough to want to get into a good college wouldn't just google this and find a bunch of practice resources.
I wonder if editions wild simplify or complicate development. Since you still would have to support older editions it opens up interesting questions on code structure.

The comparison to devops is an interesting one, but for it to work you really have to transport yourself into the absolute most stale kind of enterprise development you can think of, where software architects feel too proud to do any coding at all and where coders throw stuff over the wall to the sysadmins, who will complain about how it's impossible to deploy or get reasonable performance out of which the coders will ignore because the sysadmins are just whiny BOFHs.

The norm in building architecture still seems to be "We just draw stuff, it's someone else's job to build it, don't care if I'm making their life hard or their work expensive." Glad to see that's changing.

A possible nice feature you could add for your customers is an "email copy to sender" option.

What's an alternative free media format? Not everything Google does is bad. In fact if you're against companies abusing their dominant position, Apple is perhaps one of the worst.

Worth noting that Safari is starting to roll out support for VP9, one of the formats by Google. Unfortunately this format is already rather outdated, and if Apple was going to support a free format now they should have gone for AV1. Which goes to show how slow they are

I find the pricing a bit odd.

5,000 submissions is not an amount where I would consider paying, but at the same time it's also 13 contacts a day which isn't nothing for sure.

Basically not enough to pay for but still not insignificant.

The total cost for you is $0.05 a month if you use AWS SES, so I think a limit of 20 or 50K a year will basically not change the cost for you but will make the pricing more "coherent".
> Sounds like a perfect environment for a generation of conservatives to get elected. Hopefully they stay close to the center for a long time.

The problem is that conservatives (at least in the US, though this is happening in Europe too) have been swinging even farther to the right than most liberals have been swinging left.

I think we're in for some bad times if the leftists don't stop stepping all over their own feet, causing a backlash (that we're already seeing to some degree) that puts the autocrats in power irrevocably.
People need to stop mucking around with abusing open-source and open-source licenses.

If you want to become a millionaire make your software product commercial. If you want it to be open-source, keep it that way forever and don't start complaining "Oh, I really want to be a millionaire but I'm not because all these people are using my code for free! Now all you millions of people who are using my code should pay me from now on!"

I believe charging for software after you've gained a user base in the millions is akin to a rug-pull scam. I even believe that criminal liability comes into play here.

It's a good thing the .NET Foundation expels all the projects that change their licensing to commercial.
Is anybody aware of any SBCs capable of accepting a full-size PCI-E GPU? I've been wanting to throw together a server for some simple AI home assistant stuff (like running Stable Diffusion), but I haven't dug in to understand if ARM is capable of this yet or if I should just go buy some used parts on eBay.

There's a "Pictures in Boxes" comic about the internet stealing content on his page. It doesn't name the author or link his site on the image or in text.

But since the use is not for the page author to comment on the comic itself, but the comic is used to support his discussion of another misuse of IP, does it constitute fair use?

The page author is going deep on the content misappropriation theme and on what constitutes fair use, so it seems oddly ironic he'd be so seemingly cavalier about using someone else's content on that page.
