There are a limited number of spots in private schools, if everyone suddenly has $x more dollars to spend on private schools the private schools will raise prices by at least $x to reduce demand. The wealthy will still be the ones in private schools and tax payer money is diverted to the private schools instead of the public schools while the poorest are still in public schools.

There are also other hurdles to poor kids attending private schools, for example private schools don't have school busses, so they are reliant on kids having parents with the ability to drop their kids off and pick them up every day.

Intel Alderlake has performance events for tracking it:

https://github.com/intel/perfmon/blob/974c69919b2a9dfd8278cf...

But even before this you had store to load forwarding on x86. I'm not saying you have, but before inventing a performance problem it is worth spending time trying to diagnose it with thorough profiling (e.g. [1]). The Fedora frame pointer patch did a thorough performance analysis and performance will be revisited again. Unfortunately there are a lot of arm chair performance experts who haven't spent time looking into the details.

Schools need to attract more competitive applicants. Raising the salaries of already-veteran teachers, although a kind gratitude for their service, will not have a significant impact on educational outcomes for students.
> Exactly. Farming on mars is not a problem worth solving

I know you're being flippant, but this is a textbook propositional fallacy. (Affirming a disjunct [1], I think.)

In summary, you argue: farming on Antarctica is difficult, so we import food instead. Farming on Mars is difficult, but we don't want to import food. Herego, we shouldn't farm on Mars or bother with it at all. Alternatively, if X (farming is difficult), Y (farm) or Z (import). You're arguing neither Y or Z by, implicitly, rejecting Z. That doesn't make sense.

I think the most worrying point about bing is : how will it integrate new data? There will be a lot of 'black hat' techniques to manipulate the bot. LLMO will be just as bad as seo. But still, the value of the bot is higher
Over the years I figured out that developing an app targeting a particular device is not a good use of your time. You're probably just working for a particular company (Google, Apple, MS) for almost free. The best approach is to use a language that is as free as possible from companies (C++, Common Lisp, for example) and develop your code independent of the device. Then, if you really need, pay somebody else to create a UI for a particular platform. This may be more difficult in the short term, but your code will at least survive for more than a couple of years and you'll not go crazy.
An owner of a tattoo may not care or know it's symbolic, but someone observing it may project that aspect onto it. I think it depends on the context of the analysis..
This suggests a large disparity that's culturally based which I've been unable to find. I can find a comparative disparity such as https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/10/teachers-pay-countrie...

keep in mind that teachers only work 9 months of the year as well. Not really that impressive to take a 2nd job when you have 3 months in the summer to do whatever you want.
Difficult how? A relative of mine is a teacher in a high-poverty area and it seems like a very taxing job. Regularly having to deal with children who are emotionally or physically abused, or who recently immigrated and don't even speak english, and trying to teach them math. I daresay this is not a set of challenges most software engineers I've met would be well equipped to handle.
I grew up in Appalachia and had a similar experience. More babysitting than education.

I don't think pay will solely fix it, but I have to assume there's some selection bias from it. We only get the staff who are willing to put up with the boards, students, and pay as a whole set.

Those in Appalachia will be living better, but I have a hard time imagining they're [financially] struggling. The wages are generally depressed and so are living expenses.

Their pressures are probably from-above, their peers, and their students. For example, teachers have to pay for a lot out of pocket (or their personal time)
I thought those fuel bladders were pretty cool! Never thought about transporting volatiles in anything other than a rigid tank. Also had to look up what AN-8 Fuel is:

"AN8 is a special fuel blend unique to the Antarctic and Arctic. It has a lower flash point of 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which also lowers the gelling point when extreme cold temperatures can cause wax crystals to start forming in the fuel. AN8 will remain liquid until about minus 72 degrees."

I don't know the current status of any particular brand, but I was assuming there are still new ICE cars being made in 2023 that don't require a permanent cloud connection, app, or website in order to own, use, or maintain. If that is not the case, please let me know.

But I know for sure that there are no electric cars you can buy that don't require the owner/drive to be a "user" of various IT systems run by the car maker. Which effectively means you can buy the car, but never actually own it.
Accept that suffering is a normal part of life, and reciprocally that you're not abnormal for suffering.
I feel like a lot of the modern hustle is a false promise, we are told to seek happiness (in the hedonistic sense), and suffering is presented in opposition to this as a failure both personal and existential. But suffering is not a failure, it's a frequent and normal part of life, life musn't stop or be dreaded or resented because you're suffering. And most importantly happiness and suffering can co-exist.

That's advice I gathered from personal experience and letters I exchanged with a Franciscan monk a few years back.
> there are lots of people in the UK who rate Thatcher

Very true. Too many. I did say "most", which doesn't mean "universally". Thankfully the (far too large) set of fans in the UK don't represent any kind of global majority.

> The UK finished the 80s in a drastically better position than at the start in terms of poverty and employment

This... isn't remotely true.

Poverty went from 13% before Thatcher to over 22% after. You acknowledge unemployment skyrocketed, but the reduction at the end of her term was minor - overall rate finished much higher than before she was in office.

> The USSR also had low unemployment, but that doesn't mean they had a good economy.

Bringing the USSR in here is a strawman because any rebuttal from me can come across as being in support of the USSR, of I'm not - I strongly believe the stats here are not representative of reality. But Soviets aside, the fact you don't think people having income is inherently "good" but instead prioritise something abstract called "the economy" says a lot about your priorities.

Can I ask what exactly is "good" about a "good economy" if more people are in poverty?

It certainly feels like there are some regulatory loopholes/oversights being abused.

Maybe just make it illegal (or actually just enforce existing laws) to link to websites that violate copyright laws (from pages with monetization) and force the market to sort things out?

It would be the end of an era for the internet in many different ways, but maybe the wild west needs to just end?
I would bet that all developers sort of know Akamai as a CDN ( the one that small companies cannot afford )
This is a good tip. Another thing is to make sure to have the Google Play Services proxy installed if you plan on using most Play apps.

You can even keep separate profiles for apps that do and don't need play services.
I'd strongly disagree with your assertion that teaching is not a difficult job. I won't address the exertion that goes into individual parts of it, but all of the teachers I know regularly work nights and weekends in addition to handling the emotional stress of teaching, which itself is a huge burden, especially for those working in less affluent schools.

In any case, the measure for teachers should not be "how hard is the job" but rather "how important is the outcome". It might be easy enough to replace a teacher without raising the salary (another assertion I have issues with - there are rampant teacher shortages nationwide), but could you not be potentially getting a better teacher and having broadly positive effects on society if you're offering more money?
Ever looked at OpenFL?

Couple notable games haves used it. Haxe is a pretty mature ecosystem as well, from what I’ve heard.

My grandpa did the same thing when he was 72 years old. Applied for food services, worked in the cafeteria but did extra stuff like DJ a radio show, drove a shuttle, and gave tours. A couple weeks into his stay, my grandpa ended up being the "most qualified" person at the station to take over the greenhouse (he had an agriculture degree which he hadn't used in 48 years) but ended up doing a good job. He travelled a lot but Antarctica was his favorite adventure.
> They also publicly declared that if any other car makers wants access, all they have to do is to chip in some of the cost.

No, Tesla continues their patent licensing deal. If you agree to never sue Tesla or any other company which uses Tesla's IP for infringing on your IP, they'll agree to never sue you for using their IP.

So say GM wants to use the Tesla connector on the Bolt. They have to agree to let Tesla use all of their IP. But not only that, they have to also agree to not sue any other company that also uses Tesla's IP if they infringe on GM's IP.

So say Ford also uses the Tesla connector, and then copies many of GM's designs. GM cannot enforce any of their IP against Ford without being in violation of Tesla's licensing deal, which opens them up to getting sued by Tesla for having the Tesla connector.

This isn't just the car makers though, this is anyone wanting to use Tesla's IP. So say Delta (a manufacturer of EV charging equipment) wants to offer Tesla connectors on their DC fast chargers. They have to follow the same thing, and allow Tesla to then copy any of their IP. But not just Tesla, they have to let Sema also copy any of their IP if Sema also starts to use Tesla connectors.

Tesla's licensing deal was a Trojan horse trying to nullify intellectual property rights in the automotive industry, and pretty much none of the bigger players wanted to give up all their IP.
One of my friends had a big hassle with the Twitter API back in the day, when they reversed their previous policy of actively encouraging devs to make 3rd party clients.

It definitely gives some context that you're dealing with similar issues now, so thanks for sharing that point.

> The claim that ADS-B tracking results in kidnappings is laughable.

Please respond in good faith. As you know, the account in question was doing extra work to de-anonymize planes enrolled in the Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) program. You also know that rich people and their children are very common kidnapping targets. At no point did I say "ADS-B tracking results in kidnapping". I said the doxxer was creating a clear security risk.

Sample size of 1, and it's up to my friends and peers to determine if I'm "ungifted", but I've wanted to be a professor since I was a teenager; I like teaching, I like research, I don't want to deal with "children".

I'm doing a part time adjunct lecturer thing, and I absolutely love it, but it's an extremely difficult thing for me to consider doing full time. In my full time engineering job, I get paid almost triple what a full time lecturer makes at the school, so it's not something I have seriously considered; nearly anyone qualified to teach software at a college level is also qualified for a cushy engineering gig.

If my professorships paid something comparable to my engineering job (or even if they paid at least half of an engineering job), it would be a much easier sell for me.

I have to think that the same would be true for primary school teachers.

I remember watching this. Turns out BBC Natural History documentaries are more theater than just documentaries. If you watch the "making of" clips at the end of some of the series, you do get the sense that they may not be just captured natural footage as much as highly-scripted activities with the actions of the cameramen, crew, etc. edited out. Still fun to watch, but isn't being manipulated as a viewer disingenuous for a studio that calls itself "Natural" History? Maybe a better name would be BBC Studios Artificial History Unit.
It's about not gatekeeping the people who are future devs, wanting to learn, want to try making their own hobby apps to share with others, maybe prospective employers. Also, the credit card requirement brought up in a sibling comment is a barrier.
You can't. Starlink satellites are in LEO, not geostationary orbit.
Salary most likely isn't enough, but it's an easy area to focus on. Danish teachers aren't pay particularly well either, but they are better paid than many other professions, yet salary is the main area of complaint.

I suspect that you could get away with a lower salary, if teachers are given more support and more autonomy. If you have to deal with troublesome students, parents and micromanaging politicians, then you want a lot more money.
I'd argue it's not just talent scarcity it's measurable talent scarcity. There are really great teachers out there that do a fantastic job there are terrible teachers that suck, they are mostly paid the same because it's hard to differentiate between a good teacher and a bad teacher.

Whereas with a software developer especially at small orgs their ability is easier to measure and evaluate.
I see no reason this should not be the case. That is the starting wage in my Dallas area school district.
> I thought the consensus was that Google search was awful

Compared to what it was. Awful is DDG (which I still have as default but now I am banging g every single time since it is useless).

I also conducted a few comparative GPT assisted searches -- prompt asks gpt to craft optimal search queries -- and plugged in the results into various search engines. ChatGPT + Google gave the best results. I got basically the same poor results from Bing and DDG. Brave was 2nd place.

Can you give any material historical examples to support your hypothesis?
Here's a good way to think about it - there is no world where education improves if teachers are not a well-paid profession. It's a race to the bottom, as we're seeing today. So if you want to get better, you have to create incentives for otherwise smart/talented teachers to enter the profession, rather than other professions. The only way to do that is to provide some base level of pay that would be enticing. Once you clear that bar, then you work on things that are unique to the profession, like protecting teachers from abusive parents.

If you don't care about education and you just want to extract the most money from parents for the least amount of effort, you do nothing and let the market take over.
we use TimeBot for away tracking
AI is a real world example of Zeno’s Paradox. Getting to 90% accuracy is where we’ve been for years, and that’s Uncanny Valley territory. Getting to 95% accuracy is not “just” another 5%. That makes it sound like it’s 6% as hard as getting to 90%. What you’re actually doing is cutting the error rate in half, which is really difficult. So 97% isn’t 2% harder than 95%, or even 40% harder, it’s almost twice as hard.

The long tail is an expensive beast. And if you used Siri or Alexa as much as they’d like you to, every user will run into one ridiculous answer per day. There’s a psychology around failure clusters that leads people to claim that failure modes happen “all the time” and I’ve seen it happen a lot in the 2x a week to once a day interval. There’s another around clusters that happen when the stakes are high, where the characterization becomes even more unfair. There are others around Dunbar numbers. Public policy changes when everyone knows someone who was affected.
If it sounds unbelievable, that's because it isn't remotely true. DDR5 is 13% more efficient than DDR4 and has 4 times the max die density. 256GB broken up into four 64GB sticks would use about 8 watts.

This person make insane claims about power all the time. They claim nothing will surpass old raspberry pis and intel atoms in efficiency, that nothing will surpass 1 gb networking due to power constraints (even though it all has existed for well over a decade) and even claim that certain video games won't be playable in the future from power constraints.

It is best not to think about it too hard.
I didn't say we should aspire to be more like the Finnish. What I did say is that I would be OK with teachers getting paid a lot more if they are drawn from the top of the distribution of academic performance in the country, which is what public schools in Finland do. It makes sense that if public schools hire teachers only from the most academically competent population in the country, and pay them well, they will improve the quality of public education.

So...couple things.

1) I am jealous you live somewhere where nuclear is an option. In most states in the US, nuclear power is decreasing.

2) Natural gas isn't any better than coal.

3) Coal won't go away as long as conservatives are in power in the house - they love coal.

4) I think ICE vs Electric greatly depends on how much you use your car. I drive maybe once or twice a week, only city - I am going to be constantly having to charge my car since the battery will go dead if you leave it unplugged in cold weather (Michigan). A tank of gas lasts me for like 3 months. There is no way EV would be better for the environment.
