This topic is really controversial and people usually have an axe to grind. I agree to an extent.

As a former parent and former board president of a small catholic PK-8 school, I'd say that parental involvement is the key differentiator, uniforms/behavior, faith teaching and teacher motivation are other big drivers there. The Montessori methods are a different path that works well as well. End of the day, we're all clever apes and will learn in a supportive environment.

Our kids in that school had access to fewer educational/enrichment resources, but tended to outperform their peers when they transitioned (mostly) to public high school. about 40% of the kids were scholarship funded, and those scholarships did not require religious affiliation. These were kids who would have significantly worse outcomes in public school, but they had parents committed to their success.

There are several key disadvantages.

- Parental involvement can transition into meddling.

- A kid who needs an IEP and services may not get it because the school doesn't offer the services and won't tell the family to leave OR the parent is in denial and the school isn't prepared to deal with it.

- Kids may be boxed out of sports as suburban schools usually have (corrupt) pay-to-play feeder programs.

As a parent, my goal is to get my child the best education that I have the ability to provide. Montessori and other private schools are a great way to do that. However, I don't think taxpayers should be paying for those options beyond core services (school nurses, etc)
If non-productive plants and insects are mixed in, you will need more farmland to produce the same amount of crops. In the bigger picture it would be counter productive.
You're reading a lot into autoexec's comments that aren't actually there (maybe it's from this ProPublica story that I can't find a reference to?).

There was no comment about how it was reasonable to make the phone call, and there's specific criticism of the police conduct... All they said was that at the point CPS got involved, it's entirely possible that CPS did their job exactly as they should have.

I would point out that all we know that CPS did was a) require that the parents not be left alone in the house with the kids while they were conducting their investigation (and even for that, it's not clear from the story that that requirement came from CPS, but it seems likely that's the case) and b) perform an investigation that concluded there was no observable risk to the kids. They weren't involve in the decision to perform the arrest, not involved in setting bail, not involved in any strip search, etc.
"It only works well on inputs that are similar to what appeared in its training set" seems like a strange criticism to make about an ML project, no?
There isn't one, OP is attempting to prematurely discredit anyone who scrutinizes this "AI" as out of their depth with new technologies.
It probably is only cutting on the keyframes.

There's a flag to tell it to reencode up to and after the cuts, which would probably help a lot.

Yep - https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/FAQ

>Video files cannot be cut at exact timestamps without re-encoding. yt-dlp does not re-encode the video by default, even when cutting is required. You can use --force-keyframes-at-cuts to force re-encoding; however, this process is slow - there is no way around this.

I'd probably rather just tell it to mark the sponsor segments as chapters and then skip them manually. I think it marks them by default.
I did forget that. Doesn't change things too much.
You are not alone. I also hate slack... It encourages a shallow form of communication and throw over the fence thinking.

As it has been studied: "the medium is the message."

And slack is bad medium for deep work and conversation.

Is like an open office floor were 500 people is taking at the same time, and you are supposed to react when someone screams your name.

What I want is an office with a door I can close but if I cannot get that I would settle for cubicle with a sense of privacy. So that is email.

I'm seriously considering to get a virtual assistant whose job would be to read my slack messages, emails, jira , Trello notifications and put everything in a single funnel.

If you find a solution that works for you please share it.
Hm, why lasers?

Seems like a phased array microwave would be cheaper, require no moving parts, and be able to target the root system ... and be less of a safety risk.
I’m not seeing what Musk sees. I don’t understand how top tier engineering talent turns Twitter into something worth buying for $44,000,000,000.

It seems like a total farce. Accordingly, it seems like he’s being a complete asshole to thousands of people while making a spectacle of himself.

It means vanishingly little but this was what made me leave Twitter. His ineptitude around software engineering has made me wonder… If I knew anything about space or cars, would I similarly think he’s totally full of it?

The situation is grim. I don’t think his strategy will influence many other leaders, either.

It appears to me that Musk believes (or needs to believe) that Twitter has only failed due to incompetence. I don’t think it’s that simple though, and I don’t see any evidence that he has the competence to turn it around yet.
Yup I didn’t want to spend that much and it still doesn’t help with kick backs. I decided the track saw was sufficient for what I wanted to do, safer, and more space efficient. If I did ever need a table saw though I’d consider a Sawstop model cheap insurance. Maybe their parent will be expired by then. A few years back they won a patent suit against Bosch I think.
Talk about space characters . . .
Oh, no idea, but I am super interested in seeing if Twitter will come out of this a stronger business, fade like MySpace or go up in flames.

I am sad that this entertainment is being provided at the expense of other people. This entire thing obviously suck for the employees.
Ideally incident handling should "just" be rolling back the broken change. Fixing the problem should be done in the morning with no time pressure, not in the middle of the night half asleep with customers on the other side of the world yelling at you. Of course it's not always that simple, but most of the time that's what on call should be about
Hilarious framing, kind of like banks pushing their failures onto unsuspecting victims by calling it "identify fraud" when they give money to a scammer.

Your friends aren't "leeching off your subscription", Netflix is leeching off of a a dysfunctional system of copyrights that makes you pay them to stream a video your friend would happily freely share with you.

Passing from college, I joined WITCH company and worked there for 2 years.

A lot depends on seniors and guidance that team members provided and off course personal zeal to learn and learn every day.
In my opinion, compared to dealing with Apple's frequently frustrating reviewers, dealing with Google is a cakewalk
It's misused as a descriptor for just plain aggressive behavior. I was telling someone my roommate was outside yelling at our neighbor about a car crash they caused a few days ago. He replied with "That's passive-aggressive."

I said "No it's not! Which part of what he's doing is passive?"

He agreed with me when I pointed it out.
From your list, it has solved simple matrix multiplication, LSD radix sort, and pointer padding, all of which appear many, many times in its training set.

I'm surprised it can fix the two prediction compressor bugs, even with a hint... That shouldn't be in the training set. But the solutions to those puzzles did appear on the front page of Hacker News a few weeks ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33396037), so they may have been uploaded to GitHub.

Can you paste the Correct! message (as evidence of solving it) and do more than just the first 10? Just list the ones it can solve. Thanks, I appreciate it.
Models like this are essentially extremely efficient markov chains. Calling them AI is disingenuous, like most things we call AI lately.
you're falsely characterizing my observation as a vague snipe.
I understand what you're getting at (Though this is not really about printing FTT in particular). What I'm trying to verbalize is that before, I gave him the benefit of the doubt in regards to intention.

He mentions that he didn't mean to do sketchy things, but he was definitely more than willing to engage in unethical behaviour.

Previously, I did not think he was being brazenly unethical. Now, I have the impression he will do anything it takes to "win".
I don’t understand his underlying premise. Life doesn’t need meaning, just existence is blissful. In fact meaning is this context is meaningless.

“What is the meaning of life?” is a nonsensical question/sentence.
Virtually everyone struggles with it to some degree, some of the time. ADHD people struggle with this to a high degree, all of the time, to the point it interferes with their ability to function, and causes no end of anguish.

It's like accidentally giving yourself a small burn when pulling things out of an oven, vs. having a 2nd degree burns on half of your body. Technically the same thing, but scale matters.
> Interestingly, .NET 6 implementation of the hash table keeps the items in the (rough) order of addition. To prevent potential correlation attempts, the hashed data is sorted before storing, effectively randomising the order of elements.

Can someone please explain how would correlation attacks be executed in this context?
> I envisioned a plot, with a steep curve: x is time, but what’s on y?

This question really got me thinking, because I've always envisioned a plot as well, but the phrase always made sense to me.

I realized that I think of x being "mastery" and y being "knowledge required". On such a plot, you'd see a steep curve if one needs a relatively large amount of knowledge to progress to the next level of mastery.

I've never thought of it differently, and so never realized that the phrase is ambiguous until reading the article. Upon reflection, it makes much more sense plotting time on x and mastery on y when talking about learning.
Yes - people problems are inherently more dynamic and complex than engineering problems.
The rare case for me is when you really care about size. The destructured variables can be renamed by the minifier while an object will keep the property names.
Is there any way to add the controls back?

I'd definitely like to disable the looping at the very least.
Some portion of the vision and spray tech was invented long ago by Patchen Selective Spray Systems. At some point, I believe John Deere bought the company.
You can provide your own key when setting up Play App Signing. There are three or four options for setting it up; only the default option has Google generate the key, the rest you supply the key.
Alternative:

How hard is it for me to have a commit stack be represented as a series of PRs on Github?
Yup no bags and probably significant taxes / fees per flight… still can be a good deal but not nearly as good as it looks
Why on earth would you prefer they create variables that aren't used.

In her Ph.D. thesis in 1926, Grete Hermann worked out the time complexity of different operations in abstract algebra. This is a relatively early example of someone taking time complexity seriously.

Not in clown world USA. The USSC said there is no government responsibility when USSC created the doctrine of government immunity.
996 is not unheard of in Silicon Valley, but in startups, where you have a remote promise of making big bucks.

It doesn't even make sense in a startup. If you're not a founder with significant control and a big share of the equity then your chances of a FIRE exit are slim to none and it makes no sense to sacrifice your personal life like that for someone else's business. If you are a founder with a big stake then you need to be showing good judgement and making sensible decisions and the chances that you are doing that if you're putting in 72+ hours/week are also slim to none. Workaholics tend to be terrible managers and even worse executives and not just because they assume it's OK to abuse other employees by expecting them to be workaholics too.
We have ~500 applications in the Play Store and we have experienced the same thing from Google multiple times. Literally the exact same thing – we already have robust reporting mechanisms and Google are seemingly blind to them for a proportion of our applications.
Use the channel mute feature liberally. You'll still get notified if a message tags you or your team.

Out of about 50 channels I only have 5 unmuted, and it works fine.

It's like being in a crowd. You don't need to know what everyone's taking about, just those around you and anyone who calls your name.
For sure... which they don't address. For example, the TSA actually charges $5.60 per passenger per flight for their "security" services [1]. Is that included when they say you'll only pay $0.01 for the fare? I doubt it.

[1] Never mind that the TSA is security theater and professional spies had (Edit: 95%!) success in sneaking mock bombs and weapons past them in the TSA's own tests...
I went from preschool to second grade, and I thought it was OK. My teacher in first and second grade was really mean to me which caused me to beg my mom to let me go to public school as I was not willing to go back for a third year of that lady.

Overall I felt it was very restrictive on my education. My day consisted of a few required activities (copy down a few sentences by hand, do 5 addition problems, etc.) followed by doing whatever I wanted. My favorite one was putting together a cube out of these colored blocks, but there’s only so many times you can put that together. The rest of the day was basically spent in boredom as I’d exhausted all the activities that interested me. I spent a fair amount of time reading.

The restrictive part however was the complete lack of preparation on the part of the teachers to teach anything. I remember after doing addition for a while, I asked my teacher to teach me how to multiply. She said “no, that’s for third graders” and left. I basically pieced together that “two times three” meant 2+2+2 just from the way it sounded in English. What a way to shut down a child’s education.

I’m sure I had an abnormally bad experience, and my sample size isn’t enough to discredit the Montessori methodology as a whole. However, I was much happier and felt I learned a lot more from public school. My conclusion is thus that the quality of teachers is vastly more important than the methodology. If you have well-funded public schools in your area, I would definitely suggest them over a poorer private Montessori school.
Those are big cubesats! 3U used to be the normal size for a serious mission (eg I know of a space telescope that fit in 3U), while 1U is a few sensors or a toy project. I'm glad NASA is taking them up.
Is this insightful? I feel like this is trying to help me be a better founder but I don’t know what to do with this advice.

Yes, I can be successful personally without social media. Can I successfully launch and market a product without it though?

Sure, rape is always going to be edgy and hence “cool” because of how much reverence we treat it with in society. I bet it had no power in for instance ghenghis khan’s Mongolia.
Exactly what a money launderer would say. Busted.
1) My point is that the actual market cost of desalinated water includes the energy cost - and probably more expensive energy than a dedicated desal plant for hydrogen production would because both run at times and in places where energy is cheap.

2) My calculation above already took the mass fraction into account, and added a generous fudge factor in case not all of the desalinated water can electrolysed and some ends up being wasted.
> rather than swallowing his medication (Ritalin?), he crushed it & snorted it like cocaine.

I'm having a hard time pinning this on the meds honestly...
Thank you for revealing how stupid electrically heated driveways are. If I ever have a driveway in a snowy climate, it's going to be geothermal and channel the water to drain into inclined conduit with turbines to put the melted snow to work offsetting electric bills on cloudy days when the panels aren't producing.
Hmm very good points.
Notion still doesn't have (3) and I find it compelling enough to continue using.

(e.g. when simultaneously editing, text will randomly disappear from one or both writers)
Fair question. I think I used that word because at the beginning of the talk, the person who had organized the talk gave a five minute ibtro about how admirable it was that he was willing to acknowledge the difficulty of his ADHD, etc.

Then he stood up, was clearly having none of it, said he thought it was an advantage, and then gave a long talk with no reference to it.

I guess it was weird because he didn’t seem into that angle at all.

But he was a great speaker, really inspiring.

Edit: I wasn’t necessarily trying to advocate that his perspective was correct for anyone else, but just reporting that this is what happened as a matter of fact.
How did you measure this? I'm convinced that I will be a multi-millionaire if I could just measure end productivity across a wide range of contexts.
Etched sheets like this have been used to make rocket engine thrust chambers. Holes for coolant channels are etched into the sheets, then the sheets are stacked and diffusion bonded together.
My takeaway from the article - the success of their language model illustrates what a huge fraction of our code is boilerplate.

Yes, it's helpful that the system shows bugs, but it does this, not through careful analysis of the control flow or subtle type analysis, but by "probability of each token appearing given the previous tokens".

If such a large proportion of our code follows common patterns, are we not wasting huge amounts of time writing and testing the same functions across thousands or millions of pieces of code? If we (almost) always follow a certain pattern, should not that pattern be embedded in a library or language, so vastly reducing the opportunity for errors or bugs?
ADHD can be partially treated during childhood. The problem is when it goes undiagnosed for years.

Your adult life may have looked much differently, would you not have been medicated earlier.

I did my last year of high school in a public US high school.

I took some AP classes and some regular classes. The AP classes were probably better or at least on par with my private school Mexican high school.

The regular classes were a grim perspective into the US education system.

It felt mostly like a daycare for young adults. The way they treated us was closer to how you treat infants than 17 year olds. There was little to no hope for learning from the teachers, and no expectation from the students. Cheating was rampant.

When I told my English teacher I had been admitted to UT Austin, his reaction was "no you weren't".

The US takes good care of university bound students, but does a pretend job for for those that are not on that track.

Erm.. citation needed. I'd say all the existential angst in the first world disproves that.
Better than needles under the nails in any case...
Doing design and discussion without writing code just feels like deliberately hampering yourself. Code is the best language we have for describing things unambiguously! Weeks of plain-English discussion can save you hours of prototyping.
This is fantastic. You could add it to the MO site as an additional answer?
It's also possible that both the comment and the code are right, and there's some non-obvious reason why +=2 has the effect of adding 1 here, and is the only way to do it. (Not literally, as in this example, but something analogous.)
As a Minnesotan, let me say - dragging that tarp would be more work than just shoveling it.

It is absolutely possible to set the coverage threshold in Jest to 100% for all categories and they are set to that in the codebase I worked on. I would spend hours trying to that last 0.02% covered sometimes.

Anybody have any resources on how an exchange runs out of money. I thought being a market it can only facilitate demand and supply matching. So how does it run out of money ?
As I said elsewhere, it's plausible but to a lesser degree, since I'm comparing private schools here. Montessori was probably more expensive and was probably more attractive to parents that cared a lot more.
yeah...different story now. The target comp numbers ) assume 15% stock growth per year from when it's allocated to you. That model is now broke for the first time in a decade+. How it gets fixed... I'm not sure, but, there is history of cash payments to compensate.

Point being, if you're not making more in year 3 than year 2 -- something is broke and/or your manager wasn't supporting you appropriately, or not hitting high enough on the performance ladder.
I’m speaking for myself.
I must admit I looked through this and I'm a little confused as to why it's on hacker news
Yep - totally agree. I respect the attempt to introduce something that is basically an opinionated CRUD app as a central place to put your model metadata. But it's not really ready for large-scale production, or for use by teams bigger than about 5.

It's kind of flaky and slow. It doesn't have namespacing. It's overly opinionated on the workflow (the way that states work, with a model version being in exactly one of dev, staging, prod is super hard to work with).

But beyond that, the biggest problem I have with MLFlow is what I call the "part of this complete breakfast" problem, which the ML/data-science arena is particularly susceptible to these days: the marketing talks a lot about what problems can be solved using the product, but not a lot about what parts of the problem the product actually solves. This is often because an honest answer to the latter question would be "not much". In the case of MLFlow, that would be totally fine, because honestly an opinionated CRUD app is a very useful thing. But it should be a lot more honest about what it does. It's not a system for automatically tracking model metrics, it's a database into which you can write model metrics with a known key structure.
