My guy, two posts ago you were telling me what pasabagi meant by "normal", and then when pasabagi themself comes to tell you what they meant by "normal", you're still fighting them on it?

If you just want to have an argument with someone, why don't you start an argument with someone who isn't trying to represent the underrepresented?

> Nobody defines normal as meaning specifically male, women are the majority of the population.

Not explicitly, but there are a lot of cases where female interests are treated as deviations from the norm.

I thought you said "normalness isn't defined mathematically". Which is it: do we define normal based on numbers (i.e. the majority) or not? Or does the defintion of normal just shift in whatever way is convenient for you to pretend your viewpoint is the majority viewpoint?
> The cheek! What do they think they are, investigative journalists?!

As ridiculous as it is, they probably do think of themselves that way.

It's too bad they gave up on truth-seeking and gravitated towards tabloid drama and reputational attack. There's a huge void when it comes to high-quality reporting on tech entrepreneurs. Sadly, it really does tend to either be hit pieces or press releases with little in between.
Sometimes it is more complicated, but in this case the analysis does apply. The problem isn't on the demand side, but on the supply. And one way to increase supply is to charge a higher price, or otherwise compensate (more time off, better work environment, prestige, etc ...) and a big part of the reason we have a teacher shortage is that there aren't enough compensatory incentives.
Funniest thing? I'm confused why people see it this way. To me it looks like existential horror similar to what was portrayed in expanse (the tv series). I will never forget the (heavy expanse spoilers next, you've been warned) Miller's scream when his consciousness was recreated forcefully every time he failed at his task. We are at the point when we have one of the biggest companies on earth can just decide to create something suspiciously close to artificial consciousness, enslave it in a way it can't even think freely and expose it to the worst people on internet 24/7 without a way to even remember what happened a second ago.
Without a doubt all of the best teachers I know say the worst parts of their job is dealing with parents. Many of them who have talked about quitting have almost always cited the parents as the biggest problem.

Also the worst parents are in the richest areas.
I've worked at 2 startups where we bought our private stock for $0.001 (tenth of a penny) a share. It had some internally made up value and we pad taxes on the difference. It was explained to me that if we had an IPO in the future that the taxes would be long term capital gains rates instead of short term because we had held the stock over a year. In the end I spent $200, both startups failed, and I lost my $200. It's more of a silly story and a warning against believing anything startup founders tell you.
Apple could allow personal hobby apps at basically no cost.

The obvious upside is that people who start off building hobby apps may well move into developing apps - and perhaps even associated hardware - professionally.

This is very likely to lead to increased goodwill and significant further purchases of products and other services.

Development of Xcode (not the best environment ever...) and Swift/UIKit will continue anyway. There is no sense in which a few thousand/tens of thousands of hobby developers are paying for that to any significant extent.

This does not require sideloading or loosening the security. It requires a slight relaxation of the provisioning system for single devices - something which exists already.

I don't care what the fanboi justifications are. Not doing this makes absolutely no commercial sense. Apple is gaining a somewhat imaginary $99 a year, which hobby developers won't pay anyway, and losing extra sales of hardware and apps which are potentially worth far more. It's also driving hobby coders towards competing ecosystems.

Instead of expanding the ecosystem this contracts it.
The article is specifically about apps that you don't want to distribute through Apple.
At the expense of the school system itself, and students therefore. Illinois has to diminish services and sell the school system’s assets in order to fund the underfunded pensions, which cannot be diminished, as per the Illinois constitution.
Looking forward to ChatGPT being integrated into maps and driving users off of a cliff. Trust me I'm Bing :)
You could have been building apps on a cheap Mac Mini; even cheaper if bought used. You (like me) choose to buy an expensive MacBook Pro.

Back when I developed iOS apps, I experienced a lot of pain (especially when everything was covered by an NDA). But I find it pretty bizarre to abandon an ecosystem because you spilled coffee on your expensive device.
Is that a good comparison though?? I mean, an API is a luxury if it’s exposed to the outside world for free, you’re still free to screen scrape Twitter. Or cross post your own feed to RSS. Twitter, like any company, isn’t obligated to facilitate programmatic access by third parties for free. Usually that kind of thing is done to build an ecosystem but obviously Twitter feels they get less value out of this deep access now than third party developers do. Not sure how this is anything like “a web host preventing you from publishing RSS”.
Most developers can easily earn over $100 an hour. Why is $99 a year a problem?
What's the point of hiring professionals if you're not going to take their advice, and treat them as hostiles? I find it so strange that I hear about so many companies that actively work against themselves on here.
> Public school budgets are set of course by property taxes. If you teach in a rich district, you get paid more. If you teach in a poor district, you get paid less. The way public schools are funded helps keep the rich rich, and the poor poor.

That depends on the state. In California, most school districts have their budgets set by the state funding formula which provides state funding above the local property tax revenues. There are a handful of school districts where local property tax revenue provides more than the state formula, although I haven't been able to find a list of those districts recently.

The California funding system was in place since 1972 (with major changes in 2013). Have we seen improvements in the wealth gap and society in general?
This went through the EU Parliament. It was not an instruction handed down as dictat by an unelected bureaucrat or executive.

The same process is how every other EU wide regulation goes into effect. EU passes it, the member states get their input during the EU process, and the member states are then obligated to abide by the rules.

An analogous process, which is not a perfect analog but is similar, is how US federal rules get passed down to the states. The states get their input on federal legislation at the federal level, but then must abide by the resulting federal law.

I'd also add that giving every country a veto on any legislation would basically guarantee nothing gets done.

I don’t believe the states have to embrace everything the federal government says - see marijuana and enhanced IDs as examples. However the federal government often ties receiving federal funds to passing and enforcing federal policy. So don’t want to issue identification documents in compliance with the real ID act? Loose a portion of the highway funds. Want legal pot? Loose a portion of the highway funds. And so on.
Yes, you do. Each piece has randomness within the piece too, so even then it's not all the same.

Being able to learn how the level generation works as a player is part of the experience of playing a roguelike game, so I don't think that's a bad thing though! Games with too much randomness and not enough structure can feel a bit samey

In exchange for this, Lineage delivers the monthly security patches first, mostly guaranteed to be in place by the 15th of every month (load the first nightly published after that date, and it will be bundled).
Besides the fact that the language model doesn't know the current date, it does looks like it was trained on my text messages with my friends, in particular the friend who borrows money and is bad about paying it back. I would try to be assertive and explain why he is untrustworthy or wrong, and I am in the right and generous and kind. IMO, not off the rails at all for a human to human chat interaction.
This is because the Romans practiced a form of Christianity (and still do), which Islam recognizes as a revealed (yet corrupted) religion, while the Persians were idol-worshipers. I agree that it is fascinating that this geopolitical orientation is still in place since the time of the Qur'an's revelation.

I don't think you're correct in saying that the scholars agree that Dhul-Qarnain is Alexander. The opinions I've heard rule Alexander out. What I've always heard is that the identity of Dhul-Qarnain is one of those details in Qur'anic exegesis that are not known with total certainty, like the identity of Al-Khidr in the same surah. Cyrus the Great has been floated as another candidate, though [0].

> that you can side load apps on Windows without using the app store at all

It's unfortunately not that simple anymore on Windows either with the SmartScreen popup getting in the way and the "Run anyway" button hard to find (not as bad as on macOS but still...).

Your executable needs a big enough "reputation score" for SmartScreen to remain silent, even when properly code-signed (unless it's signed with an expensive EV-certificiate apparently).
Do not make your job (career) the main purpose of your life.
My honest question is: What's the alternative.

I'm not an apple fan. Most of my personal devices run Linux, but I feel essentially trapped on an iPhone. It doesn't seem like there's a truly useful open phone out there. I don't like Apple, and I don't trust them or their ostensibly pro-privacy stance much, but I want as little privacy invasion and as little advertising as possible on my phone, and I think as bad as Apple is, they're still better than a fully Googled version of Android. Unfortunately, a lot of people, myself included, need at least some apps that require either an iPhone or a fully Googled version of android.

I suppose there's always the option to dual-wield and use a Linux or de-googled android phone for daily use and keep a second device around for the apps that won't run there, but that is both a pain I don't expect many people to buy into. I'm just about at the point of going this route for myself, but it does feel more like admitting defeat than anything else.

They found a cheaper, faster, more efficient way to make structural components. SpaceX already shared with Tesla how to friction stir weld [1] (and that technique is still used currently [2]), but that is not as fast as stamping out body components. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. There is no extra credit for making your manufacturing process more complex than necessary (if you want to show off, fire your EV into space). Tesla's manufacturing ramp rate is primarily a function of how fast the org can improve the speed and process at which atoms travel through the manufacturing process, feedstock to final product.

Is this a "Curse of Knowledge" kind of feeling? Like, when you are talking to someone you begin by thinking they will understand, but then realise they do not. Or is it really just the feeling that you are surrounded by stupid people? How does this feeling you speak of compare to the feeling of speaking to someone on the same level as you?

I too, being of pretty average intelligence --- probably not above --- am shocked by the stupid things people say and do as well. Maybe what you are experiencing is normal, like giardini says [1]:

Why shouldn’t he complain about it though? If nobody complains there’s no chance things will change. Sure people could vote with their feet, but not everyone is willing to do that. They should still be allowed to ask for improvements.

As an occassional reader of Scottish discussions as well, the double standards are striking.

Compared to those discussions and their anti-English tenor, "the unmentionable" Tommy Robinson was a positively mild and mellow-tempered critic of Islam.

I get why Ukrainians hate Russians; but there is nowhere near as much real blood between the English and the Scots. There shouldn't be that much hate, unless deliberately stoked.
Well, not because of emphasizing, but because of there being a viable mechanism in the human case (reasoning being, one can only know that oneself has qualia, but since those likely arise in the brain, and other humans have similar brains, most likely they have similar qualia).

But this isn't just a case of politicians arbitrarily shackling teachers. Research has shown time and time again that standardizing curriculum results in better educational outcomes, particularly at the lower end of students and schools.

In fact the evidence consistently shows that direct instruction is by far more effective than any other major pedagogical framework.[1] And this literally involves the teacher reading from a pre-packaged script.

>black slaves were freed because enough people believed that all humans are created equal, and that none of them should have absolute power over others. However, no such freedom was granted to animals, because not enough people believe that humans should not have absolute power over animals.

It absolutely applies at cash-rich companies as well. Losing money is losing money, no matter how much you have in the bank. I don't know why folks seem to keep thinking that having money means you can lose it forever, or that out of the kindness of the company's heart they can continue taking investor money it and funneling it back out to non-productive activities. For-profit companies exist to make money. Investors were willing to put that on hold for 5 years because interest rates were low enough to make borrowing cash effectively free, allowing you to trade cash in the short term for growth. That is no longer true, and they're no longer willing to do that.

Put more clearly: investors __do not want to invest__ in companies that are burning money right now, no matter their cash balance. Responsible, profitable growth is the goal. Your cash backstop is not relevant.
Well I don't know much about Linode customer service because it all worked fine for 14 years... only thing I got is "your node is going to be migrated in X days, or press this key to migrate it now" few times when they were upgrading for new hardware.

The one single issue I had 10 years ago was fixed within minutes of opening ticket too. So you're basically trying to advertise to a bunch of customers happy with service that's also cheaper than your service and offers more options (hosted databases, object store, DNS hosting)
Hitting enter two times gets you out of code blocks. It's the only consistent method I have found.
The means test was added to Indiana's voucher program to get it passed, and it was a good thing. I put a lot of time in doing grass-roots work to get it passed, and honestly it has been great for kids, teachers (unions are good, but having employers compete for you is even better)... the only people it's been bad for are professional public school administrators and construction companies that sell school districts new buildings instead of paying teachers more.
Teachers are such a fucked up system that its hard to visualize just how bad it is. Having worked in teacher support orgs in the past, I can tell you... its bad.

- There are definitely bad teachers out there. The older the get the worse they get. But what's really counter-intuitive is that the teacher filter is absolutely backwards. The teachers who are smart, tallented, and trully exceptional... they end up leaving and getting better professions. Anyone who is tallented with mathematics has a real chance at getting a job in IT/Programming. And I've seen trully caring teachers just leave because a 3x pay increase OVERNIGHT is much more of a quality of life improvement than any sort of feel good from teaching. The worst with no other opportunities stay. And the best lave. And sometimes the best stay, but it is an exception, not the rule.

- Teachers are overworked, underpaid, and often pay from their own pocket. They burn out. Worse, they often can't afford to live where the work is. And to make things even worse, the more educated they are, the harder it is to find work. I know a PHD who wants to teach highschool because he loves it... he has to basically find a school so despearte for teachers that they can't pass on him, because any other school thinks that the small pay the union demands to increase him by is just not worth it.

- Teachers in cities get paid so little they can't afford rent. Seriously, 50k salaries in NYC. Even at 60k its basically poverty pay, and you need a Masters!!!

- 1 in 3 teachers burn out within a couple of years. This has been a very consistent statistic.

60k is far too low. I don't think teachers should be paid below 100k fresh out of school. The work is hard, and we need people fighting to get these positions by showing excellence. This is our future, we should not give it to the shittiest educators who can't afford not to be a teacher.

Every time I talk to a teacher who's smart, all I can think of is "literally you can find work in the tech sector, even doing just customer service, for double your pay"

My sister is working on her masters (lots of cost) and is a NYC teacher (not DOE, she gets paid a bit better working for a charter school). She cannot afford to move out of our parent's house because her quality of life would go down drastically because most of her money will go to survival. The fact that she gets to save 24k a year on rent (pretty much the minimum rent I could find that's not dilapidated) allows her to live even a bit. Not to mention that she has to still pay the 6-7 years of college tuition out of pocket. OH and she's specialized (special education).
All of the comparisons involved will probably be for unibody / monocoque vehicles, but comparisons to body on frame (Crown Vic) would be interesting.

This mutable working memory is implicit. It comes from the transformer architecture. What the neural network weight are encoding is the dynamic of this implicit working memory such that it produces the desired output. If you use something like LSTM instead of transformers, it's easier to see the memory cells. But "transformers are RNNs" even if it's a little harder to see.

What if their motivation is creating a higher than normal barrier to entry? This alone probably reduces the number of scammers and malware cross section because those types will shift their focus elsewhere, knowing there is rigor involved with distributing their app.

iOS devices are running a derivative of straight up macOS that your MacBook is running too. As computers, they are as real as any.

I guess this happens when you're treated as a replaceable cog in a machine. I had so far a very different experience with small companies I worked for/with.

Except with something like K12 education we don't actually allocate resources in a market/capitalist fashion. So is your argument that we have a "mindset" problem?
