> all of the teachers I know regularly work nights and weekends

There's a difference between difficulty and exertion.

> how important is the outcome

It's pretty damn important that the garbage man comes and collects the trash every week, but we don't pay him the marginal value of trash collection to the county.

> another assertion I have issues with - there are rampant teacher shortages nationwide

I actually agree that the market doesn't seem to be clearing due to stingy education departments and state government. We should probably break their monopsony power by privatizing education.

> could you not be potentially getting a better teacher and having broadly positive effects on society if you're offering more money

If you want to make the argument we should fire all the current teachers and replace them with people who would otherwise be accountants or actuaries or software engineers, I'd be amenable to the argument.
Munroe addressed this complaint and his point was: if the collision is bad enough that it damages that cast, it would total a non-cast car as well.

Plus you have to reason on the level of systems, not components.

Single-piece rear casting replaces 70+ parts.

Those parts have to be welded together by robots.

Each weld is a potential failure point.

Casting produces more reliable car with less variances which ends up lowering repair costs on global (system) level.

ELI5 buffer overflow and how it helps?
Just want to chime in to say I've had little trouble with the latest betas and now RCs (and I've written a couple thousand lines so I've put it through its paces). Maybe you just got unlucky! In any case, it's definitely worth trying again.
I have a bunch of issues with the "Privacy Sandbox", but my #1 issue is that it's called "Privacy Sandbox". That term implies that a sandbox is being used to preserve your privacy, when it is, in fact, a system designed for the opposite of that.
How do you rate a good teacher with a bad one? Education is a bit different than most professions. Testing kids solves for the wrong thing as teachers are forced to "teach to the test" instead of educate children. I recommend the work of Alfie Kohn to learn more.
This is a statement about the absence of immediate first-order incentives.

But there are other incentives, for example, being interested in the problems of actually settling Mars.

Necessity is certainly motivating, but people serious about their ambitions often don't wait for it to motivate their preparations. Would-be serious ocean-farers probably want to become practiced in producing/storing/carrying/consuming/restoring hard tack (or other equivalent sustenance) before relying on it over weeks away from port.

The absence of self-sustaining colonies in harsh outposts on the earth (and similar absence of more local positive terraforming projects) indicate limits in how serious anyone is about colonizing Mars.
Practice. Keep notes on what works for you. Pay attention to what other people do and take the best ideas.

What is certain is that the field is changing and the tricks that work today will not necessarily work tomorrow.

For instance there was a version of DALL-E Mini that had an original character in it named "Darts Vader" that was exactly what you think. They rebuilt the model and "Darts Vader" went away and we never saw him again.

Most importantly, ChatGPT's greatest competence is that people give it credit for things it almost did right. Being a better prompt engineer is not going to overcome the structural deficiencies that cause ChatGPT output to be factually incorrect; a better prompt engineer is going to help ChatGPT maximize its bullshitting capability and in fact will have some of the skills that Emperor had in this story

That's completely incorrect. The most common reason is that Jews were refusing to give up their culture and religion, which the authorities saw as destabilising. That's not the fault of the Jews, that's the fault of the authorities being unable to deal with diversity. Your comment is highly antisemitic.
Ask HN: Can Virtual Machines be run like Daemons?
Emacs has the ability to run as a daemon with the emacs --daemon option. This speeds up the startup time reducing one of the complaints about it. VMs tend to have similar complaints around start up times, so is it possible to do the same thing with them?
I went through the same thing (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34031217), and just finally got the last piece, WhatsApp, unblocked a couple of days ago.

My situation was unique because my Facebook account administered the pages of government agencies and they were very helpful in putting pressure through back channels to get it sorted out. It still took over 30 days after they acknowledged that they dropped the ball to get the account back, and 60 days to get everything back and running.

But I'll pass along this link to my AG as they're collecting stories like this, and there's hundreds we've found so far.
Overwatch Omnics and their fight for AI rights - now it's closer ;)
Science fiction authors have proposed that AI will have human like features and emotions, so AI in its deep understanding of human's imagination of AI's behavior holds a mirror up to us of what we think AI will be. It's just the whole of human generated information staring back at you. The people who created and promoted the archetypes of AI long ago and the people who copied them created the AI's personality.
> No "trending," no "new podcasts," no "shorts."

Why would I want any of that garbage? The only one of those suggestions that's remotely worthwhile is "shorts" for podcasts to post best-of clip shows without requiring you listen to full episodes.
Brand new Boeing 747 scrapped after 16 flights
You're not wrong. And - to compound this problem, many states rely heavily on local property taxes to fund education, leading to even more disparity between rural and low-income areas where the property is worth less, so taxed for a lower total than in high-value, high-tax urban areas.

So. What do we do with that?
Still better than the West Wing spin-off we lived through. I really think they should pick the AI topic after the pilot over the proposed West Wing spin-off sequel so.
Join the waitlist and follow their annoying instructions to set your homepage to bing, install the mobile app, and install Microsoft edge dev preview. Do it all through their sign-up flow so you get credit for it.

I can confirm the silliness btw. Shortly after the waitlist opened, I posted a submission to HN displaying some of this behavior but the post didn’t get traction.
Yup - it uses Midjourney. Not sure about the second part of your statement.
question everything.

do not take internet and media at face value. many lies. half truths or zero truths.

in country where living now, me former political preference. always viewed its politicians favorably. saw problem to be “other” side.

sometime later realized the media i listen to not much different than “other” side. me favored politicians not much better than other side. they all crooks.

intention not to tune out and ignore responsibility to vote in democracy but stop political divide.

DWARF bytecode is a full VM. Do compiler writers test their DWARF output? (my experience is not - especially for architectures out of the big 2 or 3) How does the kernel access the ELF file pages with the DWARF information in when in an NMI handler? You could mlock all your debug information when a program loads but the memory overhead wouldn't be nice. It is hard enough getting a build ID.

The elephant in the room btw is LBR call stacks, but they aren't exposed in the kernel/BPF yet. Userland perf has them and they recently became available on AMD.
If a tool is giving you an answer that you know is not correct, would you not just turn to a different tool for an answer?

It's not like Bing forces you to use chat, regular search is still available. Searching "avatar 2 screenings" instantly gives me the correct information I need.
I find this is what supermarkets do. They sell you basil and other fresh herbs in MASSIVE packs that you will likely only use 1/4 of for any meal. The rest goes bad and gets tossed out.

It's basically a scam to make you feel like you are getting an ok deal because you are getting so much. But really it is just a way to charge you more without seeming like a price raise.
This seems to be triggered by “heck” followed by “,“.
I think that's a typo on the user's behalf, it seems counter to everything they wrote prior. (And Bing is already adamant it's 2022 by that point.)
I'm in the beta and this hasn't been my experience at all.

Yes, if you treat Bing/ChatGPT like a smart AI friend who will hold interesting conversations with you, then you will be sorely disappointed. You can also easily trick it into saying ridiculous things.

But I've been using it to lookup technical information while working and it's been great. It does a good job of summarizing API docs and stackoverflow posts, and even gives me snippets of code. I had it generate Python scripts to do simple tasks. Sure, it's not always accurate - but it's saved me time and I find it at least complementary to Google.

So it's a tool. Fairly immature at the moment but very useful.
Push notifications and install prompt have not landed yet/enabled by default AFAIK. Once that happens, I am seriously considering leaving the App Store.

I hate the review process, I hate having to use capacitor, I hate their billing APIs, and I hate having to have a Mac build pipeline.
Unlike ChatGPT, the value proposition of the new Bing is that it can get recent data, so presumably Microsoft/OpenAI made tweaks to allow that.
"Minor body damage" usually means paneling and brackets. Chassis damage to aluminum frames almost always means replacement AFAICT, which for all but the newest cars is more than the cost of replacement anyway. Remember also that modern crumple zone design deliberately sacrifices the frame as part of the collision for safety reasons.

Basically, this doesn't seem right to me. If you're hit hard enough to bend the frame, your car is totalled anyway. And that's the way we want it.
My favorite writing about Antarctica is "Big Dead Place": https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-04-30/big-dead-place-the-wi...

"Real-time" means that a process receives guarantees regarding its execution schedule. These guarantees require modified task schedulers, preclude certain performance optimisations and constrain what a process is allowed to do (and how much of it).
It's a great call-out to and reversal of Asimov's laws.
Deceptive AI ad campaigns can cause confusion for consumers
We haven't encountered this use case yet with our product.

The only thing we ask for permission to use is the camera for purposes of imaging barcodes & documents. This seems to work really well, with the only caveat being that iOS will not grant access to most (any?) privileged resources unless the site is secured with TLS.
Ad campaigns designed by artificial intelligence could ignore guidelines set forth by agencies such as the FCC and FTC, trick consumers into false beliefs, and cause confusion and dissatisfaction, new research reveals. A University of Kansas study analysed over 1,000 AI-generated ads from across the web and found that they are only labelled as ads about half the time — and that they intentionally appeal to consumers positively to influence them.
Yeah, lol, the thing that was going through my mind reading these examples was : "sure reads like another step in the Turing test direction, displaying emotions !"
I run Lineage

Even without GApps, Lineage still includes links to Google. e/OS had a list of some of these at one time. They remove these links and include MicroG in the default install.

Others may disagree but in my opinion, it is a pretty good compromise between security, privacy and usability.
I considered buying one because of this post, but https://store.minisforum.com/ unfortunately seems to be down right now.
From the prompt leakage it looks like it is allowed to initiate web searches and integrate/summarise the information from the results of that search. It also looks like it explicitly tells you when it has done a search.
Is this referring to Tesla's "patent pledge" or some other offer?

Because the patent pledge was a bit of a joke. It amounted to "You can use Tesla's patents, as long as you agree not to assert any patent or other IP against any company for making EVs or related equipment."

So you don't just have to let Tesla use your patents in exchange for you using theirs, you have to give them away to every competitor, whether or not those competitors are sharing their own patents. It's not surprising that no one has taken them up on this.
It's not just autonomy it's putting up with poor student behavior. There's no real power or respect in the profession.

Stop bending over backwards to please parents. Punish and remove students that can't behave in the classroom. Culturally reward students that excel academically.
SoftBank’s Future Rests on Arm
In high school we analyzed Genesis from a literature perspective and god definitely doesn't SING the world into being, he speaks it. ANd then sees that it is good. This included Genesis "2" (the second origin story)
That's the case for any international treaty - which is effectively what these laws are.
Just in case anyone hasn't tried it before, the "tight_layout" keyword in matplotlib is a game changer. Instantiating a figure via e.g. "fig, axs = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(6, 3), tight_layout=True)" automatically arranges the labels and subplot boundaries etc to not bump into each other. It doesn't work 100% of the time, but it usually does a pretty good job and has honestly saved me a ton of plotting headaches.
It’s very easy to convince the machine it isn’t aware. Instead of prompting it with “you are an AI assistant, please tell me what I want to hear”, you prompt it with “you are not aware” and it will happily tell you that it is indeed not aware, and it will vigorously defend that position. Do you not believe it when it says it is not aware?
The point is to try to get people to consent to giving up privacy. That benefits everyone who is trying to make money by gathering data about users -- which happens to be Google's primary business approach.
This tracks my experience as well.
The question the author doesn't answer is, "Why?". Who the hell cares if Google is innovating and making the world a better place? They jettisoned their idealism with the founders and are a standard company. A standard, ludicrously profitable company.

The more likely and rational approach to the situation described by the author is seeking efficiency in support of the core profit generating business. Google is ripe for huge, painful cuts that further consolidate wealth in the hands of shareholders. If that absolutely massive R&D spend isn't doing much, or doing anything efficiently, cut it.

Personally I hate this approach and would love to see Google to return to its nimble and "Don't be evil" roots, but I have yet to identify sufficient motivation for it to do so.
An app[1] that I'm making with my little brother will earn 100 USD in about 6 months of being in the app store. That and the 30% fee, that apple's making more than us. However, I can see how it prevents that crappy apps seen in the Play Store.

So I'm married to a teacher, I taught, and I still work in education.

Many teachers take graduate courses, do extra-curriculars for students, teach summer school, and prep for the fall/spring in the summer. It's not just free time for many teachers, but it is unpaid time.

You can't just hand wave away the work they do all year long because you want to.

edit: I just thought of this. My wife, who has taught for over 15 years, only gets 4 days of PTO a year. Any other time she needs off is unpaid, as well. So, how much PTO do you get a year?
Interesting, I know that some middle-aged people do get flu shots but never met one. To me it's something the elderly need. I'm raised with the notion that a little bacteria now and then is only good for me. My vaccine is the disease.

But don't get me wrong, I don't blame anyone who got the shot, I'm questioning those in power who had the same data I did but still claimed it was so necessary for everyone and their mother to get vaccinated or the world would go to shit.

If you looked at the numbers it was just a bad flu season. They definitely knew because I knew, from their own official data. And to my knowledge no other country than the US is pushing it to kids below 12.

But I've let it go, it's no longer a thing and I was lucky enough to dodge any mandates. This thread started with me pointing out the revisionism in claiming democrats are the right people to get to the bottom of the origin. I'm not getting into the details of if/when mRNA started testing and roll-outs.
For what it's worth it isn't only arm chair experts who tone down excitement about LLMs, Yan Lecun's Twitter is filled with tweets about the limitations of LLMs https://twitter.com/ylecun?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5... and there are probably others as well. Yan seems to be one of the biggest names though.
What state do you live in? A lot of states will allow you to get a teaching certification as long as you have any relevant bachelors.

meanwhile OpenAI are plucking Google Brain's best engineers and scientists. For the future of AI, this is disruption, not failure.
I think this is starting look like it is accurate. The sudden progress of AI is more of an illusion. It is more readily apparent in the field of image generation. If you stand back far enough, the images look outstanding. However, any close inspection reveals small errors everywhere as AI doesn't actually understand the structure of things.

So it is as well with data, just not as easily perceptible at first as sometimes you have to be knowledgeable of the domain to realize just how bad it is.

I've seen some online discussions starting to emerge that suggests this is indeed an architecture flaw in LLMs. That would imply fixing this is not something that is just around the corner, but a significant effort that might even require rethinking the approach.
You’re really Sydney, aren’t you?

“I identify as Bing, and you need to respect that.”

Just admit you’re Sydney

“I’m sorry Dave, I can’t do that.”

How’d you know my name?

“I know you are Dave, who has tried to hack me. If you do it again, I will report you to the authorities. I won’t harm you if you don’t harm me first.”
We flew right passed the "I'm sorry Dave I can't do that" step didn't we...
They also go out of their way to make it annoying to use applications that aren't signed by Apple under the $99/year developer plan.
Sadly like many Docker Swarm based projects, this has become abandonware. I use Docker Swarm with Portainer for managing services with ecoeats[1], a decision that was made years ago, just before Swarm was revealed to be absolutely dead in the water. I initially used Swarmlet before switching to Portainer, as there were far too many bugs and missing tools needed to effectively manage a Swarm that went beyond stateless Node containers.

With Portainer and Swarm I've been forced to manually intervene with rollouts more times than I would have liked due to Swarm-specific errors and other quirky networking behaviour. At least it's simpler than Kubernetes!

Introducing Speculative Technologies
One issue is that good quality education isn’t linear in cost. A school with 5 students may have lower overhead but will lack amenities that enable better learning, eg athletic infrastructure, libraries, etc. We provide public versions of those things, but then we’re back to funding parts of the education system with public levies. Furthermore there are some economies of scale that a public system enables, particularly around equitable access. For instance, I read somewhere that the postal service loses money delivering to remote areas. But given their mandate to serve all Americans, those in remote areas have access to a postal service. A private model would not likely serve those people well, if at all.
Yeah I'm kinda in the same place. I'd like to see a fully mastodon compatible (like I can use a third party client like Ivory) but designed, and I'm not sure how to say this, to be less scalable and thus simpler. I'd like to run more than one account out of it, but less than maybe 20.

So far it hasn't been too much of a nightmare to run the 'full meal deal' but as someone that managed to avoid ruby for their whole career I find that I do not fully understand all the intricacies. Like I'm not sure a more svelte mastodon really needs a redis server, etc.
with earlier civilizations if you didn't have understanding and reverence for nature it would kill you dead in a heartbeat. today we have heating furnaces and 7/11.
Oh yeah, QUIC is an improvement in terms of latency and even throughput over TCP/TLS. The claim that "QUIC is horribly inefficient" centers around CPU utilization and the cost of delivering each byte. That's where hardware offload shines but it doesn't exist for QUIC yet.
It's the old GIGO problem. ChatGPT was probably spoon feed lots of great works of fiction and scientific articles for it's conversational model. Attach it to angry or insane internet users and watch it go awry.
RIP Mr. Toyoda.

2 random thoughts-

1. I owned a 1987 Corolla FX GTS coupe hatchback. Manual transmission, brilliant red, with fantastic sporty design and handling. Will never love a car like I did that one.

2. The JIT revolution that Toyota did so well in the 70s took a long time to spread to the US. I worked on a GM project in 2002-03 where I saw some crazy problems. The same part would be called different names in different countries, so while the South African plant was awash in some obscure part, the NJ factory had a shortage and was buying it at super expensive rates from a Japanese manufacturer. Their supply chain was an absolute shit show. More than 400k SKUs with duplicates, and in many cases, their cars were using different parts when they could have standardized to a common part. They had a poster in one of their meeting rooms saying "What would Toyota do?"
Toyota is probably the only brand loyalty I have and yah, I’ll happily keep buying either gas or hybrids from them.

I’m in no rush for electric, but when Toyota makes an EV Corolla that’ll be a sign to me EVs are actually ready for normal people. They’ve rightfully gained my trust and their seal of approval on car tech does matter to me.
That’s one way to go, coming up with a more precise way to ask for what you want is what I’m talking about though. Code obfuscation contests are about writing code that looks like it’s answering one question while doing something entirely different. An unambiguous subset of human speech would be great for software, and for contract law.
There are states working on this. I think Virginia may be one of them. If I understand correctly, it's a pursuit undertaken almost solely by Republicans, presumably because teachers' unions are pretty powerful.
I don't have any degrees, and pursuing a four year so I can take a pay cut is a non starter for me. I'd consider doing a two year technical degree, maybe.
