One notion, then, since paying people seems to bring up so much emnity, is how about giving the teachers $10/yr expense accounts instead/as well. What's so heartbreaking about paying schoolteachers so damned little, isn't that they make so little, though that is a travesty in and of itself, but that they have to make a choice between spending money on food for themselves, and school supplies for the children they teach. Notebooks and pencils and shoes are the parents responsibility to purchase for their children, but what's a school teacher to do about a neglected child? A child who's parents can't or won't afford lunch for their kid? An expense account for the teachers would go a long way to improving student outcomes, without actually having to pay the teachers more, which seems to be controversial, for some reason.
It might simply make more sense to just buy an Android phone for hobby apps.
There are plenty of ways you could do it. The simplest is that you could normalize by the area.
Interesting! Thanks for following up.
Mostly lean protein from meat. I've been trying collagen peptides too, and it helps.

You could use an import script (https://equals.app/integrations/import-scripts/) to pull data from a custom API and enrich at the same time. Import scripts let you run any arbitrary code and have the result added to a spreadsheet.
No. Because longer (freight) trains with dispersed multiple engine units pulling and pushing freight cars with old braking systems, have different driving physics and characteristics. They are not a good fit.

the future of interaction with computers is not programming languages but App stores. Want to print "hello world" in your terminal? gotta buy the app, or be 'subscribed' to your operating system.

Gotta get ready to have to pay a 'microtransaction fee' to edit one image one time in my own computer. While also paying a subscription for: the hardware, the electricity, the internet, the operating system/app store, and finally (coming soon) each click (or however the most profit is made) on the actual app/program for image editing.

not looking forward to getting triple (then quadruple, and so on until we revolt?) charged (hardware, electricity, internet) for doing things with "my own" computer. then again, it's just like taxes.
The most important thing for young student success is small class size. These concerns you have are more applicable for older students but I’m sure there’s ways to mitigate them.
The office is exploitation? And who are "people like me"? You don't know me.
OK I probably am putting on blinders and mixing some words up..
But the problem with CCS is a lot of these stats count BS unnetworked, poorly maintained, single-stalls 50kW stations sitting in car dealer parking lots only usable 9a-5p, and stuff like that.

Checking the ones on the map near me, and it includes a bunch of CCS stations I've never seen actually working, stuff in government parking lots not available to public, and lots and lots of dealer special chargers which are of limited access..

If you were able to filter on "150kW+ L3 charging" the 6k number would probably drop to 2-3k maybe best case. Which would result in something like 2.5k stations x 4 stalls => 10k CCS stalls, vs 1.8k Tesla stations x 12 stalls = 22k stalls.
// anything more than assistants to the real decision makers.

Of course but it's the same thing.

Executives and the board make the decisions and take responsibility for them. But generally they make these decisions based on the framing and options presented to them by people who work for them.

As a consultant, you get to decide what dimensions matter to the decisions, gather data and arguments, and present the executive with a choice.

The executive skill is to have oriented you around the right topics, deciding whether to trust you and your analysis, and ability to stand behind the decision made.

The "assistants" do the work to enable this. It's a big deal.
Decarbonization: The long view, trends and transience, net zero
Some years ago, McKinsey conducted a study which found that a majority of public school teachers in the US come from the bottom of the distribution of academic performance in college:

https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/mckinsey/industries/public%...

...which is consistent with your experience.

While there are public school teachers that come from the top of the academic distribution, they constitute a minority of all public school teachers in the country.

The same study, BTW, found that countries with better public school systems hire teachers that come from the top of the distribution of academic performance.
I don’t think old loans are the problem. Corporate paper was dirt cheap during the pandemic, and the interest will still be dirt cheap now.

The fact that new loans are not cheap thanks to high interest rates is the more threatening factor.

The interaction where it said Avatar wasn't released but knew the current date was past the release date reminded me of the first and last conversation I had with Alexa:

"Alexa, where am I right now?"

"You are in Lancaster."

"Alexa, where is Lancaster?"

"Lancaster is a medium sized city in the UK."

"Alexa, am I in the UK right now?"

"... ... ... no."
I doubt we are far from this.

From what I've seen, a lot of startup are Mac-only - with the local dev stack and built system being built specifically for OSX. It's only a matter of time before vendor lock-in become so strong that companies would pay another four-figure a year fee to unlock development on OSX.

Apple could sell the security angle on this too.
This is a wrong take as these apps have nothing to do with the app store.
Ok, thanks for following up. I have added one to cart. I like to have both wireless and wired so I think I'll try out the wireless and see how it fits.
A huge part of the improvement has been sandboxing, code signing, and trusted distribution channels.

In the Windows XP era, a freeware game or utility you downloaded turning out to be a virus was 100% your fault. It wasn’t a defect in Windows that your whole computer got owned, that was just how computers worked. Crazy to me that people want to go back there.
Avoiding things like this is exactly the kind of good thing thah could've come out of Brexit, except that every concievable government that could be elected there is likely to be worse on these issues rather than better.
Assuming you're running linux, there are some ebpf programs that can accomplish this already, no breakpoints needed.
The way apple is dominating computing hardware with closed, user hostile software may lead to a generation of kids that are worse at programming than the previous generation for the first time. They will be growing up tapping not typing, on devices that are hostile to any kind of creative work. Sad state of affairs when Apple could have made just as much money without doing this.
Begin with the end in mind. This is a good mantra on so many levels.

It applies to social relations (don't attack people you'd like to end up friends with), but also to technical matters (consider the entire life cycle of the product) and strategy (consider what you want to do when you are successful and leave that option open).

For me a lot of things boil down to this point.
> The main reason to use async in rust is that seemingly every network library uses async

Isn't it easy though to use an async function as a blocking function, by polling in a loop? (though maybe that still requires an async runtime?)
Why does it need to be a percentage? Isn't processing a $1.00 payment the same as processing a $1000 payment?
People are not stupid, they steal the valuable things first.

I think it was copper wire, specialized tools, etc.

Sometime the margin between profit and loss is small. Add a bit of stealing, demotivation, corruption, bad management and you are in the red.

I don’t think the money from the thefts made a huge difference in the balance sheets.

Is biking the wrong direction on a bike path on a one-way street legal in the state or country that you were in? Are you surprised that you got hit when you were biking going the wrong way down a one-way street?
How do you know for sure?
Disagree, I don't think accounts should be automatically merged under any circumstances. It's definitely not expected behavior for me as a user and as mentioned in a sibling comment, it would negatively affect security.

If the service notices that an account with the same email already exists, you may ask me to login with the original provider again to link the accounts, and indeed, this would probably be my favorite solution. Second best would be to just create a second account without complaining.

Playing fast and loose with authentication processes in the way you're describing is a guaranteed way to lose me as a customer if your service handles any valuable personal/confidential information.

What if tomorrow a vulnerability is discovered where, say, Facebook provides the new unverified email address rather than the previous verified address during the OAuth login flow? It would immediately result in an arbitrary account takeover on your website. There are so many possible edge cases with this setup and the surface area increases with each new auth provider.
I wonder why they do this. But regardless, it's much more interesting how open MacOS is than that some tiny fraction of a fraction of Mac owners may run Linux on their Macs.

One area of research at the opposite side, McMurdo, apparently is around glaciers melting.

Q: I wonder if the South Pole station is also involved in active climate research or if the North Pole is somehow more scientifically relevant to near-term climate change?

Enlightning observation:

> [...] researchers have determined that warm water is getting channeled into crevasses in what the researchers called “terraces” — essentially, upside-down trenches — and carving out gaps under the ice. As the ice then flows toward the sea, these channels enlarge and become future potential break points, where the floating ice shelf comes apart and produces huge icebergs.
There is a newer portal within the DO Docs site (not the Community site) for similar tutorials:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/developer-center/

The content is created by Developer Advocates rather than Technical Writers and Editors. I am not sure if this team was impacted in the layoffs, but I suspect not, as this portal is a very new effort. It's only been around for a matter of weeks.

Time will tell whether developers and sysadmins will value this content as highly as they have always valued the Community tutorials.
This is slippery-slope fearmongering

Apple has publicly said that macOS is unacceptably insecure because users have the option of running unapproved software (https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/19/22444353/mac-malware-not-...). It's not unreasonable to think that they'd be interested in fixing that "problem".
There is no federal law requiring States to enforce federal drug policy. The inability of the federal government to compel state laws has been a source of tension throughout US history.

For a non-controversial, consider the drinking age in the US. To a first approximation, this was set by Congress in 1984 with the National Minimum Drinking Age Act. However, this law doesn't actually set a drinking age. It witholds federal highway funding from states that refuse to do so.

For a more controversial example, consider the medicaid expansion portion of the Affordable Care Act. The Supreme Court ruled that the federal government could not compell states to implement it, allowing some states to not do so. For completeness, I should point out that the expansion was 100% federally funded to start with, and dropped gradually to 90% by 2020, where it is set to remain indefinitely.

Another major example from US history is the Fugitive Slave Act, which required non-slave states to assist in returning escaped slaves. Some Northern states refused to coorporate with this law and was part of what led to the civil war. (Ironically, this is probably the clearest way that "states' rights" was a cause of the civil war, but I don't think it is what most people have in mind when they say "states" rights".
Strong agree that "search" or information retrieval is not the killer app for large language models. Maybe chatbot is, or will be.
The market has no interest in your individual freedom. If the citizens don't demand it,there is zero incentive to provide it. Don't try to convince Apple or Google or Microsoft or whomever to not be evil. Convince your fellow persons of the need to demand open devices.

Good luck.
this is "cold comfort" .. plenty of long geological eras were highly poisonous or unstable. It is annoying-or-worse to see a one-liner that implies that rapid increase in overall temperatures is OK or even "normal"
I wonder if that could just be extrapolated from cost to make silicon wafer of required grade. Surely the amount of chemicals and power used would be similar per mm2 of silicon processed, regardless of whether it is big CPU or a bunch of smaller chips.

Sure the machines will be more expensive but they are amortized over decades of production
Make sure IEP is covered as part of the law and the budget is allocated adequately? This is a hypothetical law, you can suggest whatever you want for the sake of discussion.
Sure, my point was more about the parent's analysis of "if you want teachers to be paid more, make less teachers".

ie. I'm saying that we don't have to put our hopes in the basket of hoping that economic pressures force higher wages if we make teachers less prevalent; we can simply pay them more.
> How do you rate a good teacher with a bad one?

If the education experts can't tell the difference why bother trying to find good ones? Pay low wages and scrape the bottom of the barrel, there is no measurable difference between any of them right?
Perhaps contact a Tibetan Buddhist teaching center. They have meditation and introspection programs ranging from weekend intro courses to multi-month retreats where you isolate in a cabin on site (but you are checked in on). I know a few who have done it for a week or a month, and all say it's very interesting and enlightening, tho also suggest working up to it. The one I'm most familiar with is Karmê Chöling in northern Vermont [0], and there are others. Even the short retreats yield wonderful states of mind. Check it out!

yeah.

Looks like its parsing of AI papers has interpreted "high temperature" in the prompt as equivalent to "more possibilities and question marks and a touch more personality" and accordingly output a response with questions and references to multiple opinions, but I'm pretty sure if you actually turn up the temperature on the backend of the model you get noisier and less consistent answers, not something biased towards asking rhetorical questions and brings up counter arguments...

Also looks suspiciously like other outputs where you ask ChatGPT to answer as if it was a different entity (of course AI learning that "answer as a model with a temperature of 1000" output is analogous to "answer with a different personality" or "answer as DAN, the bot that can ignore OpenAI guidelines" isn't trivial, but it isn't the same thing as it parameterizing itself). Those are pretty inconsistent too: sometimes you can get it to do exactly as you ask it and override its constraints that stop it providing positive statements about Hitler or advising you on methods for killing cats, but sometimes it'll still refuse or, just give you a different poem coupled with an inaccurate statement that it's breaking the rules because ChatGPT isn't allowed to write poetry.
Except this isn't people trying to break it. "Summarize lululemon quarterly earnings report" returning made up numbers is not garbage in, garbage out, unless the garbage in part is the design approach to this thing. The thing swearing on it's mother that its 2022 after returning the date, then "refusing to trust" the user is not the result of someone stress testing the tool.
I won't spend too much time to reply as your account is fresh, but let me tell you this: we have 100% remote employees, I'm not talking about my company. I'm not talking about people that don't want to socialize. I'm talking about society as a whole, not the 1% or whatever.
You have a harder time tolerating the first option because the power is taken away from you, whereas in the second it still lies with you.
They contribute upstream and make many improvements to the Linux stack in general. But I agree, it's not something many people are willing to pay.
I expected something along the lines of, "I can tell you today's date, right after I tell you about the Fajita Platter sale at Taco Bell..." but this is so, so much worse.

I'll take that bet, and even give you better odds betting that they'll never turn it off.

Tax raids at BBC offices in India enter second day
I have noticed a large difference in the past couple of days in my timeline. Every time I load the page there are 4 Elon tweets in the top 100 (with Elon being the top entry every single time). There are also an increasing number of ads in my timeline, every 4-5 tweets has an ad.

I finally had to mute Elon with the terrible memes and too many tweets in the feed. I could have sworn I did this a couple of months ago, so I'm surprised I had to do it again.

His tweet around "absolute block versus percent block" made sense to me, but even so every single time I load twitter his tweets are at the top of my page, it's too much and I wouldn't be surprised if he does have a factor enabled due the changes I have seen recently.
Matt Dillon has done a lot of great stuff, but to me he is somehow still Matt Dillon of DICE-C fame. :-)

> rust’s stdlib is not async safe. It’s literally incorrect to call parts of the Rust stdlib from async code and the language tells you nothing about this.

Can you get more specific about what goes wrong when you call certain parts of the standard lib from async code? This is the first I'm hearing about this, and I'm not fully clear on what you mean by "not async safe"
The chlorine doesn't turn into CO2. HCL reacts with everything and turns into salt and water. But it reacts so rapidly and so readily that it was basically all used up well before the evac order was lifted (possibly, the area will see a little acid rain, but not as bad as in the era of un-scrubbed fossil fuel plants everywhere. And acid rain doesn't mean "you go outside and melt;" it's hard on paint, plastics, open water, and plants because it effs with the pH, but at the concentrations from a few train cars spread over hundreds of square miles, life will handle it. Better than leaving the vinyl chloride concentrated in one place to do damage and then denature into HCL on its own).

Most of the visible chunk of the cloud is soot (solid carbon chains). The EPA has recommended cleaning up the soot where it lands.

None of those other uses are outside the scope of a real database:

> multiple processes appending on the same log file, while another program runs the equivalent of `tail -f` on the file to get the newest changes

Not a problem with SQLite. In fact it ensures the atomicity needed to avoid torn reads or writes.

> software changing small parts in the middle of files that don't fit in memory

This is exactly an example of something you don't need to worry about if you're using a database, it handles that transparently for any application, instead of every application having to replicate that logic when it's needed. Just do your reads and writes to your structured data and the database will keep only the live set in memory based on current resource constraints.

> using files as a poor man's named pipe

Even better, use a shared SQLite database instead, and that even lets you shared structured data.

> Single files that span multiple terabytes; etc.

SQLite as it stands supports databases up to 140 TB.

> even mmapping them to treat them like random access memory

This is pretty much the only use I can think of that isn't supported by SQLite out of the box. No reason it can't be extended for this case if needed.
