I went to a Montessori School from k-8 then switched into a fairly fast paced public school district for high school. I absolutely loved Montessori, and feel very lucky that I had the opportunity to attend. I felt a lot of ownership/independence about my learning from a young age, and it really supported my curiosity about the world. Interactions with teachers felt like collaboration, not being told what to do, so I felt trusted and it felt very safe to make mistakes and learn. There was no homework, which meant the school day had lots of time built in to work on assignments and move around, which I didn’t realize how much I appreciated until I got to high school and was sitting at a desk all day with hours of homework every night. There were lots of opportunities to learn from people who were really excited to teach what they were teaching. We got to do lots of weird science experiments, big class projects, woodworking, learning about ancient history, several different languages, lots of different instruments... the list goes on.

There were two notable challenges for me, though not everyone in my class experienced these. Some of it will also be limited if you only have them there through 6th grade.

The first was figuring out how to socially transition from a small private school that effectively functioned like a big family, to a large public school. I didn’t really learn how to meet people being at the same small school for so long, and the culture shock of leaving of leaving Montessori was pretty bad. (Both with the way people my age approached learning and the way the public school system operated, i.e. everything is for a grade nothing else matters).

The second is because of some combination of the curiosity driven learning and the particular sequence of teachers I had, I managed to avoid getting a good foundation in algebra because I didn’t really feel like it. This turned out to be a big problem for me for many years, partially because no one realized so I kept being put in higher math classes, doing well through brute force, and being very frustrated and confused about all of it. I’m now getting an advanced degree in math, so everything worked itself out, but I do think math specifically wants a little more structure at those early steps than what I got.

Overall it was still absolutely worth it for me. Sometimes I wonder who I would be now if my curiosity hadn’t been so strongly reinforced when I was young. Happy to answer any specific questions! Hope this helps.
Pretty much. After watching the Sackler family escape with billions despite destroying America with opioids I’ve come to the conclusion that America is garbage and there is nothing important here except money. I’m securing my family and their future, nothing else.

But yeah crypto grifts sucks but my college roommate now works at Goldman Sachs, an old university TA works Exxon offshore drilling, a couple of classmates are African logistics specialists (acquire land at ANY cost including literally lying to poor peasants to sign over property) at Bain. Is there a ranking for better or worse?

All of capitalism and by extension society is rotten to the core.
I'll agree with you that some teachers really suck. I can think of a few examples I had growing up that fit your description.

That being said, we have a real shortage of teachers right now and low pay combined with lack of respect is a large reason for that shortage. Maybe the solution isn't calling them stupid and disrespect them. Maybe instead we should make teaching a profession with a liveable wage where they don't have to deal with parents throwing temper tantrums when their kids don't get straight A's. Maybe if we did that, we'd have enough people still wanting to be teachers that we could go ahead and fire the shitty ones (something we can't do if we don't have replacements)
Still. He’d have to have the same normal.dot, make the same space/tab choices, same fonts, etc.

And in a large company, how many ~1 page letters get printed? What are the odds that there is only a single match in the entire company?

I take this story similar to the binary coded space story: more likely to be apocryphal and promoted to deter future leakers than true stories about catching them in the past.
I don’t have personal experience with Montessori, but one of my best friends is a long time Montessori teacher. Just posting to echo the comments stating that different Montessori schools will operate and feel different, so do your research before enrolling to be sure the experience will be a good fit for your child.
The last FAQ entry mentions a software update so I wouldn’t be surprised if it did.

Or at least made it so the writes are spread out over the 64GB replacement resulting in 8x longevity.
These are Tesla things though. My VW EV has normal door handles, glove box handle, air vent positioning, manual seats, etc etc.
Nothing more demoralizing than living in fear and rumorville. I was at a big bank post 2008 and it was months of messages about did you hear so and so got the tap on the shoulder. You never knew when or why, you just didn't know everyday if it was going to be your last. Not exactly how you want to live your life.
> You're typically working on small teams with some wickedly smart people around you.

That was already the case at Twitter without Elon. He has destroyed many of those teams.

> You get to question everything

That was already the case at Twitter without Elon. His petulant firings have destroyed that.
They care about effectiveness in the sense of if you asked if they cared about effectiveness they'd say yes.

They don't care about effectiveness in the sense that they are doing the math on how effective different outreach is, comparing that against other uses of the money, and sharing that with their donors.

I've been to 9-10 charity events and none of them talked about effectiveness in a dollar and cents way like the way givewell does. It's a real change from the status quo.
cancer research will give benefits forever once a solution is found whereas mosquito nets will get worn out and so are only a temporary fix. Cancer cure also scales to more people eventually. Worse, how much is your donation contributing to cancer research? You just can't quantify that.

The whole concept just seems to assume you know everything, present and future, and have infinite calculation power.
And I walk to a nearby copy shop for my printing needs. At maybe twice a year it's a rare enough occasion that I refuse to keep a printer myself.

One of the problems I observe in forum posts from these communities is that it is fun and cool to think differently than others. "What if fighting poverty now is actually bad and preventing the AI apocalypse later is actually better?" Then you get to feel superior to everybody, even those goody-two-shoes people down the street that donate a lot to the food bank. You know the secrets. It is the same kind of thinking that makes people think that Roko's Basilisk is cool or frightening or meaningful. It makes you feel like you have secret knowledge that others do not.

But... because we tend to interrogate our second option less than our first option people end up throwing their EA money at fucking ridiculous things while there are people out there dying in childbirth because their local hospital doesn't have consistent electricity.

"Yeah, I just have a different value function than everybody else" does not absolve people from the criticism that their value function is stupid.
That’s actually a good thing, because you have a place to put one if you want to buy one.
20MinJS – Data loading strategies for the front-end, with Agustinus Theodorus
Non-breaking whitespace/other non-rendered characters can disrupt this type of technique. It can also be rendered moot by photograph, transcription, paraphrasing, etc...

Hell, even a re-encode/format change, or stripping of format info can moot the entire premise.

I welcome Musk to demonstrating his own psychosis/neurosis. It doesn't really speak to any fundamental cleverness.

Furthermore, were I a journalist receiving such material, I'd damn well make sure to change how I communicated it enough to neutralize attempts at such watermarking, simply because I know people are pre-disposed to such acts as he did.

In fact, if you're going for maximum Discordian Malcontent high score, and you're confident you're operating under such scrutiny, neutralize a copy you leak, then carefully orchestrate the planting of false trails to keep the spook wannabes chasing their tails, which can end up blowing back on the orchestrator for waste of resources. This works better with a larger team though where Spartacus dynamics start kicking in. Sample size 1 tends to leave sufficient metadata from neutral parties to rehome in on a common perpetrator.

This is why labor organization scares the living shit out of people like Musk, and other large holders of capital/abusive management types. Info asymmetry, fear, and disunity are some of their most potent weapons.

Wisdom tends to prevail on the side of "don't do shit somebody'd find leak worthy, and you won't have this problem".
Should focus on summarizing existing notes that nobody is reading instead of generating more noise.
Yeah, the performance of the 8cx Gen3 is more compelling in a $600 box than a $1200 laptop, agreed. Would also like to see something with full, official Linux support that's at least M1 class.
90€ for WoW Dragonflight Epic Edition.

Holly "Windstalker" Lonsdale is Vice President and Executive Producer of World of Warcraft now.
That woman knows how to milk it.
She oversaw Everquest 1 and 2. Expansion prices of 150€ were common.
WoW just isn't quite there yet, but it will be eventually.

I'm not a WoW fan. I blame it for many things, but I'm bored and saw Dragonflight being in Pre-order advertising and checked out the prices. 50€ bare minimum. No thanks.
I'm no longer playing that game, I moved back to piracy.
Paying a subscription fee to play a game who's main design is to keep you playing so you spend more money in the in game shop is not my kind of entertainment.

Show HN: I built a tool to get instant test results
I got sick of the old software development loop: Change code -> Run tests -> wait -> wait some more -> look at failures.

I decided to build a tool that will enable you to: Change code -> look at failures.

No wait time, no explicit test running.

Under the hood:

- Runs the whole test suite and collects code coverage per test.

- For each auto file save, analyzes the changes on the tests.

- Runs changed tests in the background.

- Display results, the loop time from change to test results is approx 250ms.

Instead of:
code -> alt+tab -> arrow up -> rerun all the tests -> wait ... -> test results

code -> alt+tab -> test results!

Check it out!

> I always assume Tesla was a more luxury brand of EVs.

Eh, Model S was high-end but wouldn't call it luxury. Lots of regular people with a decent income bought it. Interior wasn't up to "luxury" standards.

My kindergarten teacher has a Model 3, so that's not really luxury at all.
"Lib" in "LibGen" stands for "library" so "Libraries are how humanity at large preserves documents" holds.
Was Chirp Spread Spectrum developed prior to LoRa itself out of interest? I had a little look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirp_spread_spectrum but couldn't really tell.

I was under the impression that other modulation schemes such as FSK etc. can also perform similarly to CSS in terms of data rate etc. and distance?

Note the "choose a state" and compare Wyoming or West Virginia for a regular hybrid car (e.g. Prius or Insight) to an EV... and that is quite different than if you pull up California, Oregon, or Washington.

In WY and WV, the plugin hybrids have a larger carbon footprint than a regular ICE hybrid car (Prius or Insight).
Everything you mention is just adding crypto scam to existing tech. We have OAuth, we don't need "Login with Web3." We have DNS, we don't need to introduce Ethereum to it.
Many thanks for the recommendation; picked up a copy. Tuchman wrote Guns of August and The Proud Tower about the times immediately before, during and after the start of WWI. I found both outstanding reads and I can only think A Distant Mirror to be worth the time.

> Hydrogen production for grid power storage? Absolutely terrible idea, don't even think about it.

Liebreich has that as a B in the Hydrogen Ladder (for long-term storage).
Humans have devised many, many institutions and philosophies for helping each other grow into powerful moral people. Uncountable religions, self help movements, mind-body wellness systems, the list goes on and on.

Every single one, without exception, has examples of people at the top of the institution, widely regarded as masters of the system, who are miserable destructive human beings.

This makes me profoundly sad. I could understand if every single group of people had members who are toxic, but the fact that the selection systems for progression are so predictably bad...

IME, the best you can do is to find a small local scene that practices the system in a way that is healthy and nurturing for the members and live with the cognitive dissonance caused by the rot at the top. Whether it's your small neighborhood church, a martial arts dojo or your toastmasters club, these things can be great in the small even if they're awful in the large.
I've seen the benefit of AI for completing sentences, or lines of code, and I can imagine the benefit to creative writing where things do not have to be factually correct, however writing in Notion is typically writing about something in the real world.

The problem with AI text generation is that it does not have that real world context. A great example is the first example on this page: writing a blog post announcing Notion's AI generation.

The AI text generator does not know the feature set, and therefore either the content is going to lack any detail about the product, or it's going to have incorrect detail, in both cases providing no value.

What are use-cases for this that people will actually benefit from? Creative writing - sure. Brainstorming? Maybe for very vague and basic topics that don't need any business context. But more than that?
> UPI in India does not have ability to reverse transactions either. So does not countless p2p payment systems. UPI alone processes billions of transactions weekly.

There's a dispute mechanism which will eventually be escalated to a bank which does have the power to revert transcations https://www.npci.org.in/what-we-do/upi/dispute-redressal-mec...

Same with "countless p2p systems" because the majority of them are just an intermediary between banks. For example, here's Swish from Sweden: https://www.swish.nu/faq/private/i-accidentally-swished-the-...
You can always install Quicksilver. It's pretty handy. I've bound it to ctrl-alt-space, and F is enough to launch Firefox, M to launch Mail, I enough to launch iTerm, etc., without creating shortcuts or editing settings. And if you want to launch some application with overlapping initials, type one or two more characters. And it's free.
It's pretty well known that map makers do this, adding non-existent small localities to detect when someone is blindly copying their work.
I hope they are regulated, not outlawed.

As in, "you have to be ready for a 90% withdrawal at any time".

This would have solved every problem.
What is the difference between an "ad" and content designed to get you "hooked" ???

Both are designed influence behavior and retain your attention. They are for all intents and purposes the same thing. Virtually everything is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

If you are gone make hydrogen, just right there turn it into methanol and use and transport that around.

Or just make airplane fuel right on sight.

But the problem with all those theories is that investing in electricity consuming plants that will only have a very low utilization is generally not a great plan.

Maybe not trying to build your whole grid out of renewables would be the better plan.
This number is relatively small in my experience. I work on data intensive applications so I guess my department shows some selection bias, but I have yet to run into an intern or junior who thinks blockchains are a solution to anything worth solving.
His studies probably relate to contact between archaic Vasconic languages and Indo-European. It is considered fairly likely that languages related to that of the Vascones were spoken more broadly in Western Europe in antiquity, and that they likely had influence to some degree on the Germanic, Romance, and Celtic languages that superceded them.
Batteries are >95% efficient round trip.

Hydrogen is:
70% Gibbs Free Energy Efficiency,
70% electrolysis efficiency,
50% fuel cell efficiency,
93% compression efficiency
= 23% round trip efficiency.
Honestly, printers have gotten so cheap that the pain in the ass they can save when needed would make them useful to have for even that low of a volume. Printing a return label means I don't have to drive to a shipper. Your cheapest printers nowadays can scan and sometimes fax, which is useful for when legal or other requirements force you to submit a signed document. I'm not a fan of digital tickets for travel and events due to the apps being garbage and the severe consequences in case of technical problems, so these are easily printed as well.

As crappy as modern printers are, they provide an oversized amount of peace of mind for me.

Reliefweb is the humanitarian one, idealist is a decent general one, charityjob is the big UK one. Lots of stuff on normal national job boards though, I tend to filter for it.
It's not a problem of giving away to charity; It's a problem of people reaching this level of wealth in the first place.

In the early days, people who became too wealthy were killed by the rest of the villagers. Potlatches were a natural response to this because equalizing society reduced the resentment and also raised the prestige of the givers. Charity giving is the modern equivalent of this, but in a severely watered down form (they still get to spend their entire lives in unfathomable wealth).

With 2 million USD in personal wealth, you can dump it into safe, passive investment vehicles and life comfortably off the proceeds for the rest of your life in a first world country. Tens of millions or more is simply avarice, and needs to be discouraged in order to mitigate the steady slide into extreme inequality that comes as a natural consequence of unequal luck or opportunity over time.
Because they aren’t coupled in a meaningful way.

Whataboutism is minimizing bad thing by highlighting other bad thing. “Look bad thing parity!”

Shooting someone because your friend shot someone else does not make what you did ok.

A constructive approach would be to build schools, hospitals, and other local social solutions to community vision rather than allowing outside agents to gambling for themselves with the outputs of our agency.

We flip out over the potential for waste in too many hospitals while binning laptops and phones every couple years to save Apple.

There will be literal waste to any human endeavor. What character do we want it to have? Empowering a party drug addicted rocket man filling us full of high minded bullshit about a future no one can predict or helping people exist how humans tend to exist; building communal ties that don’t expropriate wealth and agency for some distant power hording edgelord.
I'm a fan of your apps. Huge kudos, especially rcmd is super nice. Use it all the time.
To be fair, even many of the latest ICE vehicles have a lot of electronic/motor-driven frippery. I bought a new vehicle over the summer and, in spite of having a fairly generous collection of pushbutton controls, still has a ton of automatic controls--e.g. shifting the drivers side rearview mirror to reverse--that aren't really necessarily and are presumably expensive to fix when they break.
From the era when software development still had documentation, and technical writers.
Looking at twitter these days I sure have a feeling this is not super unlikely.
AI is the new 3D printing. Cool novelty that will undoubtedly change the world somehow, but I hope we avoid letting it become this creation that is played out within 5years, overapplied, and shoved into any process whether it improves the product or not because its "the future". I'm about two AI support bots from snapping.
Highly skeptical of AI applications like this, unless you have a personal active learning model that you can refine over time. Otherwise, it can only really answer broad canned questions like "10 ways async communication is more productive". As the other commenter pointed out, seems like it would be way more useful to use AI to summarize existing content and suggest links than to pretend like it can do the work of an employee with zero context.
I thought printers had a unique fingerprint that's embedded in every document they print?

Are generative text models and image models cheap enough for consumer products or do you need to charge a premium?
Similar story but I bought the original box of TP7 in 1993. The manuals structured in an exemplary way with so many technical details and even with part of the Turbo Vision source code. It made me a better programmer for sure. I even sent them a registration card. I still have the confirmation letter from my product registration giving me access to the support hotline and BBS.
