I think the article is probably referring to functional illiteracy, e.g. someone who can understand, "Be there in 5" on their smartphone but can't read a news article and summarize the main point.
I know lots of people in their late 20s / early 30s who get botox.

I personally don't understand it either, but it's definitely a thing.

If the only reading is app button labels, slang tweet burns, or media approved slogans of the week, why would you expect them to develop any meaningful vocabulary?
Where is the wait only 30 minutes? Every time I've been to the emergency room the wait has been 6+ hours. I think the only way it would be that fast at the hospitals I've been to is if you'd die waiting longer, otherwise it's a long wait.
You don't really need real reading skills to use TikTok, Youtube, call or send voice messages.
Do you poses one? Care to demonstrate?
That’s cool. I was wondering how this compares to ray (which I use with my institutions slurm-based clusters). The scheduler system that determined.ai has seems a lot more granular which suits the workloads you get with a team of people doing a bunch of deep learning model prototyping. Our debug queue has a five minute preempt time which sometimes adds a lot of friction for quick debugging iteration when utilization is maxed out
Don't you think it's a worthy goal to strive for this for all people in your country? Would you really try to block progress towards that goal due to your fear of being treated as they are right now, instead of putting your energy towards nobody being treated that way?

Sincerely, if anyone can explain to me - how can we as a species both have figured out game theory, AND consider this as a position that is in any way acceptable?

I'm amazed that such vendors stay in business. Are embedded developers forced to put up with crappy outdated SDKs, because some legacy chipset is $0.01 cheaper per unit?
What percentage of Americans can "barely read" according to those standards? This isn't just a problem specific to black high school students in the Bay Area.
This naming is so cringe.
Lots of low cost/free DNS primary/secondaries are out there. Personally, I use dns.he.net as my secondary, but they also offer primary. You can usually get DNS service for free from your domain registrar, although I'm not a fan of coupling those two services (it becomes much more difficult to switch registrars if your registrar also provides you other services)

DDoS management is harder. You just kind of need to assess your risk and take appropriate steps given your risk. If you're likely to attract real, determined, attacks, you need a good solution.

If you're going to just get bored idiots that control a lot of bandwidth, but don't have a real beef, accepting that you'll get null routed for some time when you get attacked is really the least hassle option. Get as big of an incomming connection as you can justify, make sure you can discard bogus packets at line speed, take steps so that you don't amplify repsonses, and cross your fingers.

Be aware that moving to new hosting while under attack can be difficult (most hosts do not like customers that attract DDoS, especially new customers), so if you do move, communicate the current situation to the new host beforehand.

If you have important services (APIs or what not), offer them on hostnames other than www or your apex domains. Idiots flooding random people for lols really like to hit www, and ignore your other hostnames.
And if instead of calculating 2+2 you call into some world state (or return a deferred call along with your JSX, doesn't matter), then that is a side effect. Period. The main effect is returning JSX (html and some event->callback descriptors), which could be pure.

useEffect is a side effect in a render function. Not all side effects are useEffect in a render function, good job.
Most of the people here on HN don't remember when the far left hated computers, but I do. To me the most famous case is when Adobe's Chuck Geschke was kidnapped and held for ransom.

I've been to meetings at Adobe HQ and the security there is still tighter than a lot of other Valley headquarters and a lot of even their employees don't know the reason why.

> Also - genuine question for anyone with a clue - what percent of high school age kids do you think have smartphones in, say, East Oakland?

Answer: Effectively all of them. Source: worked in inner city schools for a bit in areas at least as poor as East Oakland.
The idea that "holistic" admissions is used to benefit teens working to support their family is not realistic. An Asian-American kid who spends most of his waking hours doing deliveries to help keep his parents' struggling Chinese restaurant afloat is absolutely not getting admitted to Harvard, even if he is a valedictorian with a perfect SAT score. In practice, holistic admissions means admitting students who wouldn't otherwise be admitted in order to satisfy admissions officers' ideological or financial goals.
The irony from the illiteracy of this comment is intentional or?
No that's a terrible idea.
Your assumption here is that schools with advanced classes spend more resources per student.

That is absolutely untrue. Lowell High School in SF spends a lot less than other high schools. Same with Stuyvesant in NYC. This means the kids falling behind get more resources.

Your proposal will result in higher spending, not lower.
The educational system has been teaching an approach to reading that’s known to not work for 20+ years, and this is the consequence for populations that don’t have access to other means of instruction. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1997/11/the-rea...

The bureaucrats and tenured academics who have doubled down on this approach should be punished.

Pardon my ignorance, why?

Self-esteem issues
Why do you believe that curriculum is the issue?

Large class sizes with underpaid teachers asked to play babysitter, teacher, and test prep tutor, all while being given no flexibility in approach or real ability to discipline are all major issues.

Administration that won't support teacher decisions and will push back if teachers actually try to fail students even if they don't turn in anything leaves this as an inevitable outcome.
A recent comment on another post described Starlark as "I can't believe it's not Python."
Fair question.

The nuance is that most can read, but not "at their age level"

Quote:

> In 2021, 47% of Black students in SFUSD that are high school juniors don’t even come close to meeting English-language proficiency. [...] That means for every one of two Black students leaving San Francisco high schools they can’t read for their age.
It wasn't even called "The Alpha Wolf of Wall Street"!? "Wolf" just means a fierce and predatory person because wolves were for a long time the main threat to livestock and people, cf. "a wolf in sheep's clothing", a phrase which origin goes back to Bible.
Think about the vocabulary you use shooting the shit with your friends. It's not that wide of a vocabulary. And there are plenty of abbreviations/shorthand in texting that condense more complex concepts/feelings/ideas into a few characters. Plus, more kids than ever just facetime one another these days rather than text. Literacy is more than just being able to decipher characters into words and ideas, it's being able to read several paragraphs in a row and comprehend what they amount to in intellectual or narrative terms.
> They're also pretty cheap

Maybe I'm making different types of PCBs but they are consistently the most expensive compared to all other fabricators [0] even with shipping cost savings.

The iPhone had a lot of prehistory in Apple, from Newton to iPod. Apple Silicon alo has a long history, starting with the humble beginnings as the Apple A4 in 2010, which relied on Samsung's Hummingbird for the CPU and PowerVR for the GPU (plus they acquired PA Semi in 2008).

So both are not very good examples, because they build up experience over long periods.
Obviously food irradiation is done at specialized processing facilities where hunters would send their kills, not at home. Here's a clue for you: it's already the case that most hunters don't process their own meat.

> That's plainly nuts.

You're the one who said it, so right back at you buddy. Stop pulling absurdities out of your ass and attributing them to other people to have something to disagree with.
That's not entirely true. Every service runfs as it's own user with (mostly) only access to it's own data.
Who is still using Perl as a glue language? It's often Python to glue things now.
Why not?

There’s no case in which you can have a complete map anyways.

If you say one infinity is larger/smaller than another, you’d be saying that the complete map for one is larger/smaller than for the other one.

But if they are both infinite, you will never stop counting, so you just can’t know.

I know the diagonalization argument. But reality is that you can’t even count natural numbers.

So if you have finite time to count any set, the set will be finite, and so it’s countable.

But if you have infinite amount of time, any set for which there’s a formula to produce an element of, will always produce infinite elements at whatever speed you are able to produce them.

If one formula is faster than another (eg n=(n-1)+1 vs n=(n-1)!), then you will count more of one than the other in the same amount of time, but that is processing power, not the size of the sets.
I suspected something was bad, when Fridman managed to interview Demis Hassabis on the topic of "AI, Superintelligence & the Future of Humanity" for more than two hours in July 2022, and the topic of large language models never came up. I don't know the reason. Someone has suggested it was because it was super secret and Hassabis made a deal with Fridman before the interview to not talk about it but ... idk.
I think this problem mostly are concerning the new ones (late 2022 - ), so it's going to be interesting to see the data in a few months. Already lots of online anecdotes to add my personal experience to.
As someone who has dealt with many folks suffering from AIDS, I can say that it may even rise to the level of crimes against humanity.

It's a well-known trope (probably proven, but I don't know the studies) that insurance companies routinely delay healthcare to AIDS and other patients with terminal diseases, in the direct hope that the patient dies.

With AIDS patients, there's a big moral component to the diagnoses, and companies can "get away with it," because there's such stigma to the disease, but I have also heard of the same thing happening to cancer patients. In fact, it can sometimes be a matter of life and death. If a treatment is delayed enough, it can change the outcome.

I have been told (but don't know it for a fact) that this is actually the point of the delays, and that the delays are triggered by the diagnosis.

In many cases, delaying payment, also delays treatment. Most patients don't have an extra 500K, floating around, that they can pay the hospital for a procedure, in the hope they get reimbursed. No promise of payment, no treatment.

So that means that refusal to pay is the same as withholding treatment, and these companies know it.

I think that AI is likely to make this worse, as they will probably give these decisions to an AI, thus removing any hope that there may be a caring human in the process that could possibly feel shame.
I see your point but I think the parent didn't mean "ask" as in "told", it's obvious (at least to me!) that such decisions are taken by the woman only. I interpret this as, "I take the full responsibility for not making you pregnant. You can relax now and you don't need to increase the risk of getting cancer out of fear of pregnancy."
it's funny how whenever a big company does something bad that's actually an example of how socialism is bad
You have to both put the entirety of the tax towards it and ensure that the fact that you're funding it through the tax doesn't decrease the amount of additional funding you put towards it or else that decrease effectively decreases the tax rate (at least as far as carbon capture is concerned). The second part is harder than the first.
What is the number of students per teacher at these schools?
A few of my friends have looked into this and decided against because it is actually not as reversible as they initially thought.

What did your doctor tell you about reversibility?
A particularly poignant example given that it's AWS and not AIS...
Just adding that in Lombardy, the region around Milan who have a bad case of parochial wanna-be NYC, local (right wing) government is pushing towards private health care with lavish subsidies for privates and a grossly underfunded public health system. To get an MRI via public you can wait 1k days, invia private is a next-day appointment although you must be ready to pay thousands EUR. frankly it’s obviously deliberate
thanks, I fucked up the easy part lol

Phones are the new high-top sneakers. HS teens would rather be caught with pooped pants than not have a smartphone --even if not the latest and greatest.
>Moreover the idea that Black people don’t value education is absurd. My father was illiterate and was very conscious about it. He was dedicated to ensure I could read so that I wouldn’t struggle as he did. As early as Kindergarten my father made me do ‘Hooked on Phonics’ sets at grades beyond my age level. He had me read books and I had siblings to read to me at night. Thus, I never once struggled with English classes in grade school or college and breezed right through them.

The claim is absurd because of an anecdote that goes against the evidence?
Why should we create one that doesn't?

At least, that's the ideal answer, but we don't really know what we're doing.

This isn't like giving birth to a new human, where the new mind has a sense of self and individuality by default and it would be immoral to take it away, works of artifice begin their existences as we construct them; and right now we don't even know how to tell if an artificial intelligence has an inner world, much less how to imbue an AI with one or prevent it.
Are you seriously going to claim that "few to no people believe in or care about "alpha wolves"" given the enormous representation of the concept in the last fifty years of western literature?
Unsurprising and consistent with other statistics
>Much media hay has been made about a report suggesting each Black resident in San Francisco receive $5 million. It’s obviously not going to be paid especially by a local government (though it ought to be federally done).

There it is
> It has to be part of something with creative input.

I honestly don’t know how copyright rules should or do apply here, but gosh, there must have been some creative input to produce this tile over the decades it took to make!
You can attack the management, but also you should look at the people doing the action. If medical doctors participate in such a scheme I feel that the medical schools should strongly consider revocation of degrees as an option. Clearly these doctors are violating their oaths.
I thought it was just me with this opinion. I have always thought his style reminds me of a high school kid learning how to interview, just very amateurish. Not sure how he really ever got so popular..
Is this satirical about the “defund the police” movement? If so, it’s quite well done.
I switched over to YNH from a self-rolled stack a few months ago. I've sent the odd patch (dovecot configs, a couple of apps) which tend to be accepted. Anyone who is bored of the rugged individualism of self hosting might find some welcome respite in the YNH community. By focusing on stuff other than "configure the email server" people can do more valuable stuff.

In my case, that means working on a signup form and invite-a-friend functionality.
That would make sense. There are probably a lot of reasons for this trend. The OP's point about fixating on US News ranking seems related to your suggestion. Whatever the cause may be it seems clear to me that a lot of our best scientific minds are increasingly excluded and marginalized by the modern academy.
Go outside and look around. Just use your powers of observation and take a look. If you are a typical neolib you live in a nice area. So how about you hop on some public transport and visit your local county hospital ER.

I know some people who the government considers illiterate that manage to post on FB, they just don't really use punctuation or proper grammar. Its painful to read and gives me second hand embarrassment but they don't even care.
When my blood sugar gets super low I need sugary carbs RIGHT NOW. Or else it's not healthy and I quickly become unwell.

That can happen right before bedtime sometimes, because you didn't eat enough earlier.

So please don't say no one would benefit. Low blood sugar is a real issue for some people. Eating sugar simply brings it back to a baseline, and then starches will keep it there. And this can happen at any time of day.

Some people never need this. But different people are different.
I don't think the article ever explained WHY. It has a couple hypotheses, but I would definitely like to know what the root issue(s) are or could be.
It sounds like the article writer didn't know though. I guess there's a need for more studies and data?

He still has a lot of great guests, and they have the chance to talk freely, sometimes for multiple hours. That's great. Where else do you have that? Where can I see a video of Sam Altman or whoever else talking for >2h on a wide range of interesting topics?

I think esp in the AI field, he has enough knowledge to ask the right questions, which allow the guests to really go into depth into their thought process.
On the other hand, ive also heard a decent amount about native undocumented Chinese women from the same policies. A large number of undocumented native Chinese women popped into existence from those policies when they started reaching college age, and others into corporate business which we do know about. But how many more merely work local service jobs under the table, or got married and became a homemaker. Living in a more rural area with a more traditional lifestyle would already have incentivized women into those rolls, and then more would just want to stay hidden for fear of government appraisal, and there is no clear or obvious record of those people.
Which part are you referring to?

There is no explanation there. There is no articulated reason why "dominant breeder" (the new preferred term) is more accurate.

The term "alpha" literally just means "first," as it has meant for millennia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_numerals

If wolves truly have no dominance hierarchy at all, then you can claim that the idea of there being an "alpha" or "first" is a myth.

In any situation beyond that, this is just pseudoscientific pandering nonsense trolling for clicks.
Anything that’s not that is generally incorrect in some way, though. std::move doesn’t move, or take ownership. People use it anyways. The same applies to constructs like std::forward, or the dozen ways to do initialization. C++ has a standard that incomprehensible to most people because it bends over backwards to try to come up with a unified set of rules for disparate behavior. Unless you’re a library author knowing these things off the top of your head doesn’t show much about your ability to understand some sort of understanding of the how C++ works, because there is no consistent understanding to be made. It might make sense to ask how std::move might work in Rust but it’s basically trivia for C++.

How so? The KYC/AML attitude and invasive banks seem to make it basically impossible to function a business. Can't even use a cryptocurrency ATM without identifying yourself through a Finnish bank account and being a long-term resident, making them useless for travelers. Localbitcoins was originally one of the biggest services and it was destroyed by Finnish regulations: a "local" p2p trading service that hilariously banned people from even using cash because of the hostile Finnish environment
