ChatGPT kind of agrees with you:

While I am a language model trained by OpenAI, I am not a substitute for human teachers and I do not have the ability to solve Bloom's two sigma problem on my own. However, I believe that AI and technology can play a significant role in addressing this problem and improving education outcomes.

In the future, AI and personalized learning systems could help to provide individualized feedback and support to students, similar to the benefits of one-on-one tutoring. AI can also be used to provide real-time feedback to teachers, helping them to adjust their teaching methods to better meet the needs of their students.

However, it's important to note that while technology can be a valuable tool in education, it cannot replace the human element of teaching entirely. Teachers play a crucial role in creating a supportive learning environment, building relationships with students, and providing guidance and mentorship that goes beyond what a machine can offer.

So while AI and technology can certainly help to address Bloom's two sigma problem, they should be seen as complementary tools to support teachers and enhance the learning experience, rather than a replacement for human teachers.
Back in the 90's, I'd write all my papers in LaTeX, just to avoid using Windows and Word.
Teachers can be the biggest a-holes on earth when it comes to irrational judgements. I recall doing a website building elective in middle-school where we hand coded a simple site. They made the content of the site required to complete the project and get a grade. I had been writing sites already previous to the class for hire for 2 years at that point so I figured this class was an easy A. I had ADHD and this was the 90s (zero understanding/help), so writing filler content wasn't going to happen. I turned it in expecting to get like a B or C. Nope, F. The site was perfect valid code. Teacher was just a jerk. Dropped the elective.
In the Freudian era they made a distinction between neurosis (which Freud thought emerged from the Oedipus Complex) and psychosis which was believed to be organic in origin.

In the pharmaceutical age one would distinguish between common anxiety and depression which are treated primarily with SSRIs and related drugs, and ‘serious mental illness’ (bipolar + schizophrenia) which are treated with antipsychotic drugs of various sorts. Both are serious but the second particularly so.

I’d advocate that anyone who is suffering from mental health problems use a combination of exercise, drugs, talk therapy plus an attempt to find meaning in spirituality, friends, creative activities, etc. Mental illness kills (I’ve lost many friends to it) and it is worth attacking with all the tools available.
Transnistria is on the Dnieper river.

This means that covert access from the Black Sea is available.

This further means that the region has enormous offensive capability that is installed and operational.

Russia put nuclear weapons in Cuba. European tacticians likely know exactly what is in Transnistria.
you're mixing up language and orthography. For most of human history orthographies were secondary and words were not a symbol or set of symbols

In addition, there's plenty of logographic, syllabic, and alternative English orthographies[0] you can try out if you think the orthography itself is what has a cognitive benefit. Blissymbolics[1] is a well-known historically important one to check out though it's more of an auxlang orthography than English-specific. Some even make them for fun![2]

This is logic of 19th century. Who is going to invade nuclear power? (assuming that those 6000 nukes are maintained and works)
If you trust your doctor so little, go find one you trust? A good doctor should be able to have a level headed conversation about things like this. If you have MS and are not in touch with an MS specialist what are you doing? If you are, do you really think that specialist wouldn’t know this supplement? Even if a supposedly good MS specialist doesn’t know about this compound, at the least they will look it up and tell you if it’s okay to try.

I myself don’t trust most doctors and do my own research. But I make it a point to find ones I can trust. I did a PhD in biomedical engineering and know a metric ton of biology and still wouldn’t trust myself to decide stuff like this myself. A good doctor will bring a ton of experience, a keen understanding of human physiology, and a network he can tap into for more tips. Underestimate them at your own bodily peril.

For this compound in particular, here’s my amateurish warnings already: it’s clearly hepatotoxic, it’ll likely not even have an effect (EAE models have no real relevance to human MS) and will likely interact with other drugs you take as well.
Wolfram Alpha is free alternative for most uses. Good enough for most people.
It's also possible to distribute PGP keys this way. Probably a much better solution than the keyserver mess.

I would argue this "free pass" should last for until we no longer have living memory of racial discrimination. There are people still alive who couldn't vote because they are black. The Vice President of the united states had to be given armed guards in order to go to school because she was black and Indian. We're acting like black people are holding against white people something that no one currently alive can attest to. In actuality, racial discrimination and racist harm has occurred to people who are alive right now, and I highly doubt that white people get just proclaim "it's over, we solved racism" and therefore no one should retain any hurt feelings for the racist acts against them.

You know, I used to have a girlfriend that would do shitty things to me and then proclaim I was the one that needed to get over it because it happened so long ago, despite her never apologizing or making up for her behavior.
And a raspberry Pi costs even less, made by a firm with negligible resources compared to Nokia, yet has far better software support.
My education was at an EET (technical school -redneck-dirty-hands-technician) school. A trade school.

Very practical, and vocational, so they had stuff like this (but for E Techs).

Universities tend to be less "vocational," so may skip some of the more practical stuff.

Also, developing a curriculum is a huge pain in the butt, and keeping it updated, is even worse. Stuff like this tends to be highly topical, so it needs to be kept up to date, with almost no lag.

But this is great.
A tiny bash script and a cronjob
In my README I explain how to setup the Docker context over SSH.

In my system all of the files get written to the volume from only three places:

* From the docker image through VOLUME (fresh volumes copy the data from the image on start)

* From a template container that writes config files.

* From the container itself, writing files as it runs.

What I don't do is create a directory someplace and manually edit files and mount them.

When I run `docker build` on my laptop, this does copy files to the server (Docker designed build this way, and you have to set .dockerignore file to ignore files you dont want copied).

> Doesn't have an app, so doesn't have to try to make you install the app.

Well, it does, but does nothing user hostile with it, so doesn't gain anything from coercing them to install it.
It has the same root comment, so that feels like the same thread to me. Either way, it means you're clinging to a technicality to be right.

So then what's your substantive point? You claimed no one is mad, no one made a particular argument in location A. Someone made it in location B. So what great misconception did you think you were refuting? It seems that all your comment does is tell people to ignore an argument that's actually being made ... on the basis that it's not being made in one specific arbitrary boundary.

It's also kind of funny -- even if you restrict it to this "thread", under your cherry-picked definition of "thread," you claimed no one in this thread is mad ... a few sentences before you expressed contempt for what Dow did.

>Dow doesn't get credit for doing the preferable thing, because there's no evidence that it's what they intended to do. All available evidence suggests that Dow intended to do a worse thing, and someone saw a business opportunity within Dow's apathy.

If you really want to dig your heels in, I'd love the lecture on the difference between contempt, derision, and anger.

(Edit: it's even worse ... your own comment is one of the ones angry over lying. [1] But right, it's in other thread, so in your mind, it doesn't count.)

May I suggest a better path: accept that the argument exists and use your deep understanding to refute it rather than to convince others it doesn't exist.

The email is correct, so I should be OK.
I have no particular insight into the rules, but that makes sense; even if it is frustrating, it's more frustrating to die.

The delivery mechanism part is less convincing, given that the product is already in the market. I'm not saying that it isn't complex/hard, but it's precisely the kind of thing that throwing money around actually can solve.
That is an entirely valid approach, but this way it feels like the server requires more maintainance. I can destroy a docker named volume through the lifecycle of the container. But I cant delete a system directory. (edit: I mean using `docker compose down -v` it deletes a named volume, but not a system directory)

Also, its really nice to be able to use `docker context use SERVER_NAME` so I can switch contexts (servers) very easily.
That’s huge
It's not stalkerware if you call it "OSINT."
Custom rom support would be helpful for a very niche audience, but it's not something that's going to make a dent in e-waste at all. I'm a pretty tech savvy user who runs Linux on my desktop and I'm too intimidated to try a custom ROM on my phone. The average Nokia customer isn't going to even know it's an option, much less be willing to take the plunge.

If Nokia is serious about fighting e-waste they need to provide a longer lifecycle of updates.

The second part doesn't really follow from anything mentioned here AFAICT, but I believe the idea is that making a plan forces you to think about many large and small issues. When things don't go to plan, or you don't have a plan, all that knowledge will help you make decisions on the spot (if necessary).
I think its kind of unfair to compare america to Germany.

America is really an immigrants country, and its easy to integrate there compared to countries which have less of a globalized culture, such arguably Germany and maybe the UK.
Query (→ GPT3 completion) → vector db lookups → GPT3 synthesis

The optional step two is used when the lookups are more closely related to an answer's latent space than the original query text. This approach is called HyDE (first published here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.10496).

The synthesis is also optional. You can essentially summarize your lookups or refine them or do whatever you want at this stage.

If you skipped steps 2 and 4, it's just a semantic search engine. If you skip step 2, you're either doing it for latency/performance reasons, or because the user query's embeddings are more similar to the docs in the vector db.
Well subtracting the hum requires knowing the hum at that time, right?
Stagnating? For me the problem is just to stay at the same height (or repeat that year over) as a software engineer, you need to have quite a decent angle of attack, because of all the new technologies and concepts being pushed on us. And then there is tsunami of business-specific knowledge. Almost certainly whatever way you choose through your career, you close a door of some sort at each step, which is kind of a career debt. So the game is predicting what you will regret least in 10 years time :-)
The Problem with Music (1993)
I had a conversation about 10 years ago with a high-ranking DoEd official in Obama’s administration who was gushing over 2 sigma as a strategic framing for public education. Now this person is a very influential funder in edtech and ed reform. I think their heart is in the right place but it’s kinda crazy how no one above the school principal level is actively building strategy or executing tactics to address the basics of a good learning disposition: sleep, nutrition, safety, etc. By the time the robo-tutor is perfected, normalized trauma is going to make it useless for most school kids.
If I were to have a time machine, and I traveled back to 1943 and wiped a million citizens in your country, do you think that this would establish a level of subconscious memory?

The Russian preference of buffer states has very real causes. Were this a few hundred years ago, this conflict would have resulted in legions bound for Moscow. We can no longer afford this.

GNOME, KDE, MATE, LXQt, Xfce, etc each have their own design philosophies, benefits, and detriments. None of them are all-around objectively better than the others.

GNOME does at least get a lot of corporate development and backing to make it integrate into Active Desktop, centrally-managed settings (aka group policy), and accessibility functions. These aspects are rather large reasons that big enterprise distributions default to GNOME over all other choices.

Most users care about none of those features. Some people just like GNOME. Some people like KDE. It's simply a choice.
It's wild that people outside of Russia still believe there was some strategic goal for Russia to defend itself here rather than personal goals for Putin.

No one was going to invade Russia.
The problem is they're illegal in Indonesia as used clothing imports, so they're being confiscated. They may or may not end up being anywhere but a trash bin after all.
Indeed. This seems another example of how Very Bad Things can happen to almost anyone apparently randomly in the US.

In Europe we've legislated much of this sort of thing away - you have to try really hard to screw things up for yourself.

First thing I noticed back in Europe after returning from a couple of years in the US - nobody was afraid.
> For reference I'm using sway. swayidle is an idle daemon, where the maintainer doesn't think that it matters whether its connected to power or not. You're supposed to create your own scripts around it that handles ac connect and disconnects.

Yeah, the existing tools are pretty low level. For now you need to write your own "scripts" for matching different states from different places (e.g.: idle + battery charging state). Hopefully someone will build higher level tools on top of the existing tools. The APIs are all there (i.e.: there are no technical limitations, it's just that nobody has done it yet).

Yes, EU needs to step in and deal with the software lifespan problems on Android just as they have with ports and repairability on Apple. It is obvious that this is a market failure leading to negative social outcomes (e-waste) and phone vendors clearly are not going to deal with it on their own.

This really should be from date-of-purchase and not date-of-launch as well. Otherwise you're leaving refurbished phones out in the cold too. We should be encouraging refurbishment and not giving those users a worse experience - if anything the law should attempt to favor them, they're doing the thing we want.

Requiring bootloader unlock when support ceases is another fantastic idea someone pointed out - and that one will hit Apple too honestly. But if you're not going to support the thing then at least let someone else do it.
Mitch Hedberg?

“I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.”
It's more like "prompt augmentation" or "prompt orchestration". Classic example is doing Q&A over a corpus. You can't feed the entire corpus into a GPT3 prompt. So you embed snippets of the corpus on vector space, then when you get a query, you vectorize that and find the nearest neighbor snippets, then send the question and snippets into GPT3 to answer the question (with those snippets as context).

OP's example is a little different, because he's not even using Gpt3 completions, he's just using their embeddings API to vectorize product names, then when he gets a new product name, he maps it into the space to find the nearest product names.
How did Helsinki become the mobile gaming capital of the world?
The problem is: you and ten other persons might genuinely pay for that after three years (also considering the specs of this thing). In silicon valley, I suspect devs can't open up their env for that money and still put food on the table in the evening after paying for their morning outdoor coffee and rent.

I'm curious how much work honestly goes into these updates, though. How many patches do they maintain on top of Android that security updates would cause them to need to fix their patches again? Or how many parts of Android are even changed by those updates in a given month? I don't really have any idea of either proportion. How much money would it require us to pool to get one month longer security updates? One year?

May be something to ask Fairphone, they seem like the type of business that might be willing to share this for the purpose of pressuring the market to offer the support after a successful crowdfunding campaign.
That's interesting, now I'm wondering how many japanese games use it. I know Metal Gear Solid 5 uses Lua.
I have complicated feelings about alt-right trolling. Here's the problem: alt-right trolling tactics usually act against a marginalized group. People often react very reasonably against someone acting to marginalize an already vulnerable group. But even the act of trying to defend against said trolling is now itself "taking the bait", so the only things allies "should" do to "not take the bait" is to allow trolling people to continue punching down on minorities. There's no winning here.

For example: It was common for alt-right speakers to find and doxx trans people at universities they would be invited to. Of course, allies would try to protest these speakers coming to universities because they would doxx trans people at them. But trying to keep them off campus plays right into the "we're being oppressed, academia is a leftist hivemind hellscape" narrative that the very same doxxers try to spin. So the only option is to let them come on and doxx trans people? I don't really know. It's nasty.
Do you see this list?

This list is not small.

A Performance Analysis of Array.prototype.filter
I heat my home with a version of this idea, this being a cast-iron wood-burning stove connected to a "rörslinga" - a chimney flue manifold which first goes up, then left, then down to the floor, right and then up again. This flue continues upwards through a massive brick chimney I built which contains 6 channels, 1 of these being a ventilation shaft, the other 5 flue channels for different wood-burning devices. The chimney is uninsulated and goes through the unheated but well-insulated 2nd floor, then through the roof. The flue gas temperature at the top of the chimney is well below 100°C since most heat has been deposited in the lower sections of the chimney. This way we heat our 17th century farmhouse with the mentioned stove and a wood-burning kitchen stove ("vedspis" in Swedish) which is built into a massive brick enclosure which also absorbs heat. The combination of the quick-heating cast-iron stove (A Jøtul F400, 7 kW nominal, 84% efficient) and the "rörslinga" provides both quick heat for getting the room up to temperature as well as lasting heat for the night. It generally only takes a single good fire to warm up the place and keep it warm through the night followed by a small fire in the morning to bring up the temperature a bit. When it gets cold outside - -15°C or below - I tend to add an extra load of wood late in the evening which burns for a few hours in the night, that way it'll be around 18°C in the morning. The sleeping rooms upstairs are kept warm by opening the door to upstairs in the evening and opening the doors to the rooms so warm air from below can come in. This way the temperature there end up around 15°C which is just where I want it to be - not too cold and above all not too warm.

There is a "rörspis" - a free-standing masonry stove with integrated "rörslinga" in the house as well but I have yet to renovate it so we do not use it yet, also because we can keep it warm enough using the two heat sources we now use. Next to those there is a wood-burning oven built into foot of the chimney (or "murstock" as it is called in Swedish) which sees very occasional use. I also made a connection for a stove on the 2nd floor but have not connected it yet because of a lack of need, it gets warm enough the way it is now.

Total wood consumption for the house lies between 4m³ and 7m³ per year depending on winter temperatures and types of wood, this includes wood used for cooking. I have yet to cut a living tree for firewood as there always is enough storm-felled wood in our 15 hectares of forest to satisfy our needs.
Looking at the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit, I'm guessing the only places where the Mac adapters do come grounded by default are countries that use the UK plug (BS 1363) [1], at least for plugs shipped after 2010 [2]:

The article doesn't focus on their specific shoes with some kind of shallow outrage that they went to the wrong place. The article focuses on the vastly expanded chain of responsibility, through the unexpected routes the trackers they hid in shoes revealed to them. As it turns out, the routes are a big issue because there's very little responsibility ensured.

Used clothing import is illegal in Indonesia, and has been since 2015, according to the article. They aren't allowed to be sent there. So the shoes get confiscated when they're found or intercepted, and it's not disclosed how they're disposed of afterwards. It sounds like in other cases where the clothing imports aren't explicitly illegal, there are middlemen that aren't on the hook to recycle filtering through the shipments and discarding or destroying unsellable rejects.

With permission and some degree of oversight what you say has some merit. But this is a black market import in some places, and just being dumped into flea markets in others. This is shipping your trash to get burned overseas.
