Yes, exactly. “Holistic” evaluation is entirely game-able.

The claim is that they are trying to give the kid from East New York a shot but the reality is that this is all about the Dalton parents not wanting their little precious to have to go head to head on a fair playing field against a Stuyvesant kid.

Their goal is to make all desirable institutions look like Dalton—-very wealthy students with an appropriate sprinkling of diversity make everyone feel great about how open minded and progressive they are.
Or, what a private employer tested was not necessarily a fair standardized test, given they are a private entity that could do whatever they wanted, not part of the public education system that has to adhere to all kinds of annoying standards.

Just because something claims to be fair doesn't mean it is.
I do think it’s hard to break into initially — if you are approaching it from any other industry (such as what I did), it can take a few jobs to make the leap into a high paying career.

Edit: not trying to derail what you had said either, just a comment
I think the author is missing an important point: like many young people, he was smart but undisciplined. If he had gone directly to college from high school, instead of into the military, he probably would have performed as badly in college as he did in high school. He needed more time to grow up and mature. The SAT is irrelevant to that natural fact.

If you're not self-disciplined, then college can be even worse than high school, because you have more personal freedom in college. For example, if you skip classes in high school, you're in big trouble, but if you skip classes in college, they just shrug, cash your tuition check, and give you an F. In college, the adult supervision is largely absent. You're expected to be an adult and supervise yourself.

The military accepts smart underachievers because the military is going to force you to work whether you like it or not.

I didn't join the military myself, but it took me until age 24 to become self-disciplined. Although I was smart enough to get into college, I wasn't psychologically ready for it at 18, and I dropped out at age 20. I had a great time partying for the first 2 years though. ;-)

The article is talking about retail banking, which is different from investment into stocks and shares.

It's perfectly possible to have retail banking customers living abroad removing large amounts of capital from China, while at the same time foreign investors are injecting large amounts of capital into China. Two different flows.

I think the biggest impact is going to be places like Australia that benefit greatly from Chinese nationals abroad at the moment. There are lots of Chinese students and Chinese property owners in Australia. If they can't get access to their money, that's going to hurt Australia more than China.

Hmm could be that the way is co2->algea->hydrocarbon->H2 and carbon as a byproduct.

Still I dont think its Carbon negativ because they rather make hydrocarbons out of it and the production uses energy plus.
Only wanted to state the possibility of Carbon negativ as real.

It's stupid and risky for either the US or China to escalate a war that threatens to become a global conflict between nuclear powers. I wish saner heads urging restraint would prevail.

Don't expect German "Pünktlichkeit" on German railways, though.[0]

The Austrian and especially the Swiss railroad systems are far superior.

Since the "Bahnreform" of 1994 the infrastructure progressively deteriorated from the passenger's perspective. One hard fact: about 20% of the railroad network has been dismantled since 1994 (44.600km to 33.400km [1]). Way too much. Reasons for this are a confluence of excessive bureaucracy, brutal management style, powerful industry interests (think e.g. "Autobahn"), lobbying.

Today's "Deutsche Bahn" as an entity is split into eight distinct divisions [2]; DB Schenker (global logistics and freight transport company) is by far the most profitable of the bunch and single-handedly lifts the whole DB group out of the red on the regular basis, it accounts for about 50% of the total revenue.[3]

Rich Chinese are getting their money out of the country, because if their money is in China, they don't really own it. The CCP could take it any day and there would be nothing they could do about it.

And then there is Western capital, used to rule of law and personal property. They don't see that reality as a realistic threat. So they keep pumping money into China. It will work. Until it doesn't. And then the CCP will simply take it.

But somehow I suspect that it will be a "too big to fail" situation, and all those losses will be socialized in the West, i.e. the Western governments pay for the losses probably.
I meant the EU, since we are talking in the context of Europe.

Ouch, I had my first one a few weeks ago, 4mm too and this hits home.

3 days before the acute crisis which led me, vomitting with pain, to the ER, the symptoms were weird and not easily attributable to a kidney stone: a few drops of pink urine at first, discomfort more than pain, mostly in the morning after peeing, then almost ok for the rest of the day.

The ct scan showed swelling of the kidney. When I finally ejected the stone (more like peeing black sand) 6 days later, I lost ~2kg over the next 24h.

The medicine that helped with the pain was ketoprofene (and antispasmodics) but 2 doses a day were clearly not enough to cover 24h :(

didn't know about lemon though...
We had the option but declined. Seems like a good idea on paper, but upon closer inspection it seemed a bit over hyped. If I remember, there are limitations to the amount of time the cells are potent (it's not indefinite), and only certain categories of diseases and disorders could be addressed, and even then the success rate wasn't all that impressive.

In the end, we opted out. But that was nearly 15 years ago and things might be different now. I encourage you to research it and not feel pressured. One thing I found back then was a lot of "guilt tripping" around what it means to be a "good parent". You'll be made to feel guilty for not buying the latest xyz or enrolling your child in the latest safety/Child-Find services, or feeding it the healthiest foods, etc. Be on guard for that stuff and confidently say No, with no regrets, where appropriate. This is a massive profitable business, like any other. Buyer beware.

I'm sure Schrems III will kill it within half a year, but we'll have to wait and see what the implications will be for Google and other American tracking services.

I'm not convinced depending on an executive order that can be revoked on a whim by the next elected USA president is a great basis for such an adequacy decision, but on the other hand I wouldn't expect the USA's legislative branch to accept the EU's terms.

You are right about biodiesel. Most energydense crops that we grow are used for meat production and generates a shitlod of greenhouse gases on the way. Less meat consumption would mean more crops could be used for biodiesel
There is a fair chance of that happening. But: The cult of the individual leader has always been a strong component in China historically. So it wouldn't be a new thing, more a regression to the norm.

> Buy crypto in China, sell it abroad.

I heard this many times and I can’t figure out how it works. Crypto is sortof banned in China for a while for this reason and yet it’s still a route to take money out of China. But how? Who is going to give you crypto for yen in China?
> Should such an offensive succeed in breaking the land bridge between Russia and Crimea, and possibly even liberating Crimea and large parts of the Donbas
region..

I support Ukraine, and I despise Putin and his War. The only thing that I want to point out, based on my experience (between 2015 - 2020, I was quite often in Crimea), is that actually the majority of people living in the Crimea, don't want to be liberated. They were/are happier as part of Russia, than Ukraine. The improvement in the infrastructure there (health, transports, etc) was massive. My impression was and still is because I still have contact with people living there, that they support Ukraine in this War, but they would prefer to stay as Russia.
There's virtually no such thing as ringers taking tests.

The majority of rich kids, whose parents are serious about college, are tracked through prep schools beginning with kindergarten.

Its more rare than not that such a kid underperforms enough to be excluded from elite University admission. Especially once one includes the many elite liberal arts colleges that are generally off of the radar of poors.

I do agree about the value of standardized testing, but for the reason that it enables positive filtering of underprivileged kids who otherwise wouldn't be looked at. I don't believe that a downward pull on rich kids is all that significant. To politely disagree with the reasoning of an otherwise well intentioned post.

I attended prep school as a poor. One of the most egregious things that I've ever witnessed, in terms of admissions, is a truly stupid poor being admitted to an Ivy because his Father networked enough as the a prep school's soccer coach (soccer being why his son was at the prep school, but not why he was admitted to the Ivy). I knew this kid from when we attended Catholic school together before the prep school.

The link you provided contradicts your comment.

From the link in your comment: "The average rate of cosmic-ray soft errors is inversely proportional to sunspot activity. That is, the average number of cosmic-ray soft errors decreases during the active portion of the sunspot cycle and increases during the quiet portion."
How interesting that you are accusing me of whataboutism when you are literally steering the conversation into another direction, dodging my criticism of you. In my first reply to you I stayed on topic (alleged fudging of statistics). In the 2nd reply I did too (living abroad). It is you who is dropping a "dead cat" on the table and yelling "but what about everything else??"

---

No I am not defending China from "any form of criticism". I am defending China from your criticism because I think yours is unjust and/or wrong. Big difference.

There are legit points of criticisms. But you are not raising them. Instead, what you are raising is the sort of stereotypical hysterical character assassination that's propagated by mainstream Anglo media. That I will gladly oppose.

---

I have had many many conversations with people about China, and by now it's clear that the mantra "I am only against the CCP, not the people" is blatantly disingenuous. We are in a Cold War with the Anglo MSM spouting anti-China hysteria day by day, creating an atmosphere which implicates common Chinese people and other common Asian people as potential CCP spies. This hysteria also contributes to popular support for a war against China. But as anti-Asian attacks in many countries reach a high, I don't see many of these supposed "loving the people and only hating the CCP" figures speak up about that. It's abubdantly clear that we common people are, in such figures' eyes, merely good enough as cannon fodder in a holy war against the CCP. It doesn't matter that the common people are implicated and yet the mantra "loving the people" goes on.

Your comments are the very manifestation of this disingenuity. Apparently your "love" for the people only covers those who agree with you.

----

The Chinese people are not China the country? This sort of rethoric is just like "love people hate CCP" mantra: sounds nice in theory, but rings hollow in practice and doesn't stand up to scrutiny. US sanctions against China hurt common Chinese people. US escalating military tensions in SCS and developing consent for war, hurts people. Who stands up for that? Not the HN crowd that's for sure.

Meanwhile,the CCP has 95M members, or 5% of the population. Pretty much everybody has a releative that's a party member. But the Anglo media and govt coalitions are pushing the idea that anybody who has the slightest "links to the CCP" is a threat. This has ruined the lives of a great many American Chinese engineers and scientists. Who stands up for that?

I'll give you the answer in case you didn't get the hint. For all its faults, the Chinese state is the only entity that actually protects Chinese people. They are flawed, but they are all we have.

When a war occurs with China because of this hysteric environment, Chinese people become cannon fodder. So, no sir: defending China and criticizing this anti-China hysteria is defending the people.
The SAT is way more gameable than the College Board would have you believe. Most coaching is not very effective, but there is a group that is very effective. It’s almost by design that they aren’t very popular.

That said it is less gameable than most of the rest of the process. Family wealth and income are probably less gameable, but many schools are need blind.
OP is not saying Only standardized tests are relevant, what he is saying is after your education, SATs are the level playing field which you can prepare for, the preparation is within the student's control. Otherwise its all fuzzy and vague extra-curriculars etc which will decide who gets in.

The Elites will still get in and the people at the other extreme will also get in, but its the ones in the middle who will suffer.
As an aside, what is up with being able to edit the content? Anyone else have an "edit" button for each paragraph?
The correct way of adding filters to Laravel 10
If you are working with Laravel and need to filter and sort data based on user input, you might find yourself writing complex and repetitive code to handle different scenarios. For example, you might need to filter by multiple columns, by relations, by custom logic, or by a combination of these. You might also need to sort by different criteria and directions.
Deng Xiaoping created the seeds of destruction for his reforms when he crushed the peaceful democracy protesters in Tiananmen. This has led to mess after mess with Jiang Zemin, leading eventually to the biggest disaster of them all: Xi

In an alternate timeline, one can imagine what a democratic China would look like:

- Silicon Valley would have been long overtaken by Shenzhen

- Chinese media would have been a strong rival to South Korea’s

- the Chinese domestic market would have been opened up to the world long ago

- Taiwan would willing reunify with the mainland. There would be no looming war
And they wonder why we don't trust Big Tech.
It may sound counterintuitive but it actually makes perfect sense. China’s tight currency controls make it so the only way to gain access to its economy (which has obviously been growing phenomenally over the last 40 years) is to do direct investment, not portfolio investment like you would with a liberal currency.

Further, fdi is a small part of the economy. Something like 400 billion dollars a year if you believe the Chinese figures that are most optimistic.

So there can exist at the same time, foreign capital that wants to invest in the country and domestic capital that wants out. Even if it’s just the same proportion as the economy you’d see large capital flight.

The real question is what would happen if China liberalized its currency? Would that power investment more than it caused rapid flight? Who knows but every time the yuan opens a little trillions flows out of the country and the currency regime gets more conservative again.

Why make it complicated? Macau has casinos. The belt and road initiative into Cambodia also involved casinos, but they're reeling back on that.
Well, the whole point is not to sit around at home, thinking of the pain.

Call it a weird theory, but I've spent a good part of my life in bars and I've never actually seen anyone die in one. This is reassuring; it means as long as I'm inside a bar, I probably won't die. The moment I hit the sidewalk outside, anything could happen.

When I've gone to bars to pass kidney stones, I make sure to alert and tip the hell out of the bartender before I embark on this kind of thing. I consider it a sort of vulgar hospital. At that point, tipping $50 is basically medical insurance. The last time it happened, I was in Paris; I saw the stone on the doctor's ultrasound. I staggered up the street and a girl I had sort of a crush on was bartending; I just told her the whole story without embarrassment, and she lined up the beers for me and made sure I got a taxi home. I'm pretty sure she would've sent someone to pick me up off the bathroom floor, which is more than you can say about health care in America.
Hi, can you link to John carmack article. I've tried googling and can't find it :)
Prompt engineering & fine-tuning are the strategic solution.

https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning

It can be cheaper to use a more expensive model (in terms of tokens/$) if it can be tuned with the same context you'd have to otherwise send with every prompt.

Right now, gpt-3.5-turbo cannot be tuned, so you must fit everything in the 4k limit. There are 4 other models that can be tuned.
Which is the correct thing to do.
Hopefuly, they have a backup.
The SATs may not be fully fair, but they are definitely more fair than any other means of judging college applicants.

Extracurriculars can make a very mediocre student look amazing, and if you pour enough money into sports, student organizations, community organizing, arts, etc, eventually one of them might pan out as sounding impressive. Middle class and poor kids won't have opportunities like that, while rich people can keep spending until their child seems unique and interesting.

It’s always an extraction from the working person. The rich only have money. They don’t have or produce any stuff.

To believe otherwise is to fall for the money illusion.

The tax should be returned to the worker who has earned it, not redistributed to another person who expects to consume without producing.

I think the best way to answer the question would be to test it out. Have ChatGPT learn something from a URL that is forbidden by robots.txt.

FWIW google does not respect robots.txt in the way people think they do. The will still crawl and index a resource but will not publicly display it. Same for archive.org. I've verified that numerous times. Let archive.org index a thing that has always been forbidden by robots.txt and then after some time take the site down. Once robots.txt is no longer reachable archive will start displaying content that was always forbidden per robots.txt. All bots follow the pirate code. A bot will do what a bot >can< do...

If a resource is meant to be less-than-public it must be behind authentication that bots can not bypass even with the assistance of a human using an addon. Translation addons or any addons using the cloud are an easy way to bypass authentication.
