I've seen quite a bit of interest from this community in homeschooling, likely because product developers and software engineers understand that modular approaches and frameworks for experimentation lead to better products, not that a child's education is exactly a product, but still...

Having been in this space for a while as a tech founder and a teacher, it's interesting for me to see that some of the most common myths about homeschooling (e.g. homeschoolers don't have friends or parents aren't qualified to teach) are the least problematic aspects of homeschooling.

Thought some of you might be interested in taking a closer look at the top ten myths I hear about homeschooling, and what the real story is (in my humble opinion)

Dunbar's number is that ON AVERAGE people can only maintain 150 relationships.

"maintaining relationship" is not the same as remembering or knowing the person's name. It is spending enough time with the person that you have an ongoing relationship, which is eased if you remember a number of details about them (job history, hobbies, birthdays, etc).

On average matters because the number is about group size, not any one individual's ability. For the group to cohere, most of the people in the group need to know most of the people in the group.

You will find people who can only manage 100 or fewer relationships, likewise, people who can maintain many more, even orders of magnitude more.

It isn't about the individual. It is about the group.
> A single person living in a 25m^2 appartment would be quite cramped.
> A family with two young kids living in 100m^2 is pretty spacious.

I would argue very much the opposite!

- 1 person in 25m² (270 ft²) is comfortable enough in a city, and if your hobbies are small
- 4 people in 100m² (1076 ft²) can definitely be cramped

Depends on which lines of code.

I have written projects where I'd consider a handful of lines of code to be the core central tenant of the entire project that everything else is built up around. Copy those lines and everything else is scaffolding that falls out naturally from the development process.
Why has UK politics become so unstable? Brexit is relevant, yet occurred in a system which was experiencing deeper problems of instability. Two factors, changing patterns of class support and declining partisan identification, underpin recent instability.

Patterns of class support have changed quickly, disrupting complementary relationships between parties and wider institutions. Parties misread the preferences of new supporters and unrepresentative governance practices compound this, the election of Liz Truss being an example.

Partisan identification has declined. Most notably, this has made Conservative polling vulnerable to sudden shocks. If the Conservatives enjoyed historic levels of partisan support, Johnson and Truss would probably have survived crises.

Brexit would probably not have been so destabilizing had these conditions been absent; it may not have happened at all! Yet Brexit has interacted with deeper pressures for instability, making the UK one of the most unstable countries in the West.

Launching an Infrastructure SaaS Product, an Example Walkthrough
The price 100% was $20/mo as previously reported by journalists until Twitter dunked on it, and Elon's interpretation of the backlash is "the price is too high" and not "any price makes no sense at all."

This pricing clarification is most likely due to Stephen King's complaint: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1587312517679878144

> We need to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers. How about $8?
At a high level, I believe that's the plan.

At a more detailed level, well... I'm not that familiar with the area, but it seems like it's a bit of a tangled mess.

The big item of disabling non-declarative content blocking seems safe. Firefox appears to have no reason to turn that part of MV2 off.

The various security tightening measures are another story. My guess is that with Chrome removing higher-risk APIs like dynamic code evaluation, Firefox is using it as an excuse to do the same in order to not have to deal with the issues that arise from them. Which isn't great from the point of view of extension capability. Personally I'd prefer to err on the side of scary permissions notifications for that sort of functionality.

Or at least some of it—I'm not convinced that allowing an extension to execute arbitrary code loaded over an insecure HTTP connection is ever a good idea, except for some temporary development mode thing. (Sure, that's exactly what happens with a random web page containing JS that's served over HTTP. But there's no need to support that case for extensions that are active across all of your browsing activity.)

But it sounds like the removals go well beyond that.

Twitter, Facebook, TikTok etc are the crack of the internet. Technology cannot undo millions of years of evolution in human behavior. Musk's purchase of Twitter is a good thing because it will hasten its demise. Lenders get pissed when you cannot pay them back whereas shareholders cannot do much.

> ARM China, a former ARM subsidiary, has the legal right to license ARM designs for use within China but not overseas.

FWIW, Allen Wu was finally ousted by leveraging that right to license, i.e. SoftBank's threatening to not release new IP rights to ARM China. SoftBank was somehow further able to wrest back control of ARM China from Wu by cleverly transferring its stake to a SPV jointly owned by SoftBank and ARM, so ARM China is considered a "financial investment interest" rather than a subsidiary.[1]

This is the best encapsulation I know of what Elon is planning for Twitter:

"We're going to share revenue with everybody and I would just get a revenue sharing program for celebrities for any verified account and I create two levels of verification. Top level of verification. Anybody can be verified if they use their real name, credit card verification, whatever. Pay 10 bucks. We'll do a background check on you. Make sure your credit cards correct and we'll know what's your name, your zip code, whatever we have your address. You typed in a code that would be like blue level and then I would create gold level which is notable people in the world as determined by our editors. These are notable people as determined by our editors, actors, journalists, musician, whatever, and we have a notable group and we have a committee that just votes on who's notable. If you're notable and you should, we share revenue with you and we give you a gold star."
This is awesome, we have come full circle.

The algorithms I've designed are in no way aware of the content of the post -- and they have worked as intended; reducing the amount of inflammatory posts that are surfaced. I don't see how, in this case, large social companies can't implement similar, content agnostic algorithms.

There are very simple signals of "quality" that are not based on the actual content beyond the length of the post. It's not that different than search algorithms, actually, which don't have the same problem with surfacing inflammatory posts.

Yes, those signal may be wrong in some contexts, but the signals that are currently being used are certainly wrong in many contexts right now, hence this discussion.

Unfortunately the line of "fair use" is very blurry and only gets clarified in specific instances, with lawyers and humans debating if there was damage done.

It's extremely frustrating and these advances are going to pressure fair use for sure.

People will generate infringing work with AI and people will generate newly copyrightable work with AI. The danger is, as an artist, it's hard to trust if the model has given you something that is copyrighted as you have not necessarily seen it before. (You the human can cite your references, and it's possible you were subliminally influenced, but with SD, generic prompts may give you "copyrighted details" that you don't know.)

> Linux is about choice.

If I could only have one thing this year, it would be to eliminate that
meme from the collective consciousness. It is a disease. It strangles
the mind and ensures you can never change anything ever because someone
somewhere has OCD'd their environment exactly how they like it and how
dare you change it on them you're so mean and next time I have friends
over for Buffy night you're not invited mom he's sitting on my side
again.

As a consumer, yes, you have lots of choices in which Linux you use.
This does not mean Linux is in any sense _about_ choice, any more than
because there are so many kinds of cars you can buy that cars are about
choice.

The complaints up-thread about juju and pulse are entirely valid, but
the solution is not to try to deliver two things at once. If you try to
deliver both at once you have to also deliver a way of switching between
the two. Now you have three moving parts instead of one, which means
the failure rate has gone up by a factor of _six_ (three parts, and
three interactions). We have essentially already posited that we have
insufficient developer effort to have 100%-complete features at ship
time, so asking them to take on six times the failure rate when they're
already overburdened is just madness. Alternatively, we could say that
we're integrating features too rapidly, but you do that at the expense
of goal 1, to be the showcase for the latest and greatest in free
software.

Software is hard. The way to fix it is to fix it, not sweep it under
the rug.

There is a legitimate discussion to be had about where and how we draw
the line for feature inclusion, about how we increase and formalize our
testing efforts, and about how we develop and deploy spike solutions for
corner-case problems like the one device class that juju happens to do
worse than the old stack. But the chain of logic from "Linux is about
choice" to "ship everything and let the user chose how they want their
sound to not work" starts with fallacy and ends with disaster.

It's not the training of the models that's the problem, it's when the AI spits out "substantial portions of code", an important term in the GPL and with regard to fair use law, that are exact, sometimes even including exact comments from specific codebases. This does violate the licenses.

There's something quantitative in code that you don't get in drawings, drawings the unique quality is purely qualitative, so it is hard to demonstrate what exactly it was that was ripped off. When you find your exact words being returned by a code helper AI it's hard to pretend that it's not directly and plainly just copy pasting code snippets.
It's fascinating to think about a historian from the future, coming along and reading about the day to day lives of a 2020's developer and them just being enamored and asking about the most mundane details of our lives that we never considered or at all document. What colorschemes did they use in VScode? What kinds of keyboards did they use? What's a webpack?

An adversary. Different discussion. National security versus public health / competition. We don't need to justify enforcement on Tik Tok against our lenience with Facebook because they're separate conversations.

To my knowledge, regulators haven't raised anti-trust concerns with Tik Tok the way they have with Facebook. And nobody has taken the public-health mantel when it comes to social media.

Where exactly is the point in this? Clearly this happen before Musk's post about it so where exactly is the connection?

>The "groomer" stuff worries me...

I could tell by reading your post but I dont see any argument contrary to what I said. Its just another insult/not nice thing to say/a lie/etc. but there is nothing special about it.

It might "worry" or rather "bothers" you more that other words but that is purely subjective, we all have some kind of personal ranking of "slurs". But what matters is that I would not want the words on the top of my list banned. Not even if used against me.

>... and do nothing which can affect me...

Then we could not have this discussion because clearly it will affects you. I can try to not affect you negative but it might not work and trying is complete voluntary, its up to you to not participate in this discussion if you think I'm not interested in a civil rational exchange of thoughts. You can not demand from me or from anyone to limit their speech to what does not affect you negative. That is impossible to practice.

What others do is even more outside my control. I am not responsible for other peoples action (with certain limitation see first sentence). And I'm not going to limit my speech or want anyone else to limit their speech as a "preventive action" to stop a hypothetical person doing something wrong. That is entirely backwards, the open dialog, scrutiny and tolerance is what should make people not becoming extremists. Preventing people from having their views challenged isn't going to help anyone in the long run.
Been there and tried them all. One day you realise there isn’t a perfect approach and you must settle and compromise. I settled on project based [0]. When you notice too much repetition - and it happens more rarely than you may think - it’s time to simply consider a new project and a symlink. Not pure but is simple and practical.

Ray Bradbury on feeding your creativity
Now let's hope it will inspire more countries, or even companies, to launch their own!
Does anyone else feel painfully unsure of their opinion on all of this? I honestly don't recall the last major thing I've felt this completely uncertain about. All my opinions generally lean in one direction at least a little bit.

On one hand, I think it might be ridiculous for an artist to get to "own" a "style" of art. In the first example on this page, none of the art looks plagiarized. It looks like what every artist has done: been inspired by or borrowed ideas from other sources.

But on the other hand, if left unchecked, this will further harm our creative industries. We're going to be starving out our artists because robots can generate art _far_ more easily than they can. If this continues, it disincentivizes anyone from trying the already very uphill battle of making a living by creating art. One might say, "capitalism, baby! we don't need those artists, because we have AI and look at what it can do in seconds!" But I think that even if AI can "discover" new art styles and trends, there's something lost by humans not doing it.

I don't think AI will be able to replace human creativity for discovering new paradigms as fast as it will replace human application of existing paradigms. And by doing the latter really well with AI, we're killing our ability to do the former. We'll end up with a sterile art trajectory.

I guess my uncertainty is: something about this _feels wrong_ and yet I cannot point to any one moral/ethical thing that feels wrong about it.
