So does time advance differently in different regions? If two regions start redstone clocks and one of them has a lag machine, will they desync? Will it get to a point where one is day and the other is night at the same time? What happens when the regions are merged or a player crosses between them?
Yeah, I think maybe that was where it came from but whenever I have searched on it for a link I get a lot of other things like radio repeaters. But it was a real thing for sure.
Those numbers doesn't add up, USA average was 478, how could whites that are a majority score all the way up at 531? There aren't enough black people to drag 531 down to 478, and only black people are below average here.

Edit: Yes, look at page 34 in that report, it says that white kids scored 25 higher than average, so 503. Where did you get those numbers from, those are wrong.
My friend, the only thing I can say to that is:

Fuck that shit.

My friend moved from Taiwan to the US in 7th grade, and she felt the same way. She was totally bored, but enjoyed suddenly becoming the smartest kid in her math class. She was, at best, an average student in Taiwan.
Very true - I've reached the interview stage and been rejected probably a dozen times over my career. The only company which provided detailed feedback on my performance was Facebook. All the others just sent a generic rejection mail.
> ChatGPT is a massive pipe that will allow for increase in throughput of information into curious brains for almost no cost. With increasingly more valuable answers over time. And it can already quiz you on math and teach you math.

It's pretty clear you're a true believer, who takes the marketing fantasy at face value.

But it's still a fantasy. They said the same thing about the web in 1995.

Every time SVG comes up I'm reminded of this awesome preso by the inimitable Sarah Drasner; it's 6 years old but still relevant and -- I'd wager -- still eye-opening for many, even in this crowd. Enjoy!

very elegant!
Trump and Nixon are also two very different situations. When Ford pardoned Nixon, Nixon was done with politics. He had no chance of coming back as a politician. If he had not resigned, he was going to be impeached and he was going to be removed from office. There was bipartisan support for his removal. Ford spent his political capital to pardon Nixon and heal the nation, but he also knew that Nixon would not be a factor going forward.

The same is not true for Trump today. Even if Biden pardoned Trump, establishment politics would continue to have to deal with him moving forward. He has shown no indication that he would stop attacking everything around him.
I do them for a pretty large division of a big org. ~3000 people and ~1000-1500 attendees.

We make it optional, limit it to 60 minutes with about 20 minutes of Q&A questions are submitted in advance or live via an form. All information is presented the next day in written form. About a third of the people love it, a third hate it and the rest are meh.

We get alot of value out of the questions. We know who asks them, but don’t disclose. Stupid or inappropriate questions are silently dropped. None of the panelists know about the dropped questions or identity, the person who handles doesn’t record it.

The rest depends on the month. Sometimes we recognize a team, so a science project presentation Or recognize individuals. Usually there’s a what’s up deck. During COVID, we did them bi-weekly, but now have a monthly cadence.
Evidence is mounting that LLMs may be building world models, ie true understanding.

> A pretty hot question right now is whether LLMs are just bundles of statistical correlations or have some real understanding and computation! This gives suggestive evidence that simple objectives to predict the next token can create rich emergent structure (at least in the toy setting of Othello). Rather than just learning surface level statistics about the distribution of moves, it learned to model the underlying process that generated that data. In my opinion, it's already pretty obvious that transformers can do something more than statistical correlations and pattern matching, see eg induction heads, but it's great to have clearer evidence of fully-fledged world models!

Is there any appetite to support more serious programming with Scratch? I’ve created a toy or two but would love to do more. The start/stop flags are the main blocker for me. If there was an option to start automatically and run forever (or until a break) I think I’d do a lot more experimenting with it.
As one who enjoys repairing gear rather than replacing it, I certainly get what you're saying. But... an entire bass head that weighs 2.5 pounds and fits in my gear bag was just too tempting, and has been utterly reliable for years. Speakers have gotten proportionately lighter too, thanks to modern magnets, though not much smaller. Granted, historical bass amps are heavier than guitar amps to begin with, and the weight savings is more appreciable.

In response to other posts about repair, high quality tube guitar amps are actually extremely reliable if not abused, and some component replacement that is done prophylactically (e.g., re-tubing and re-capping) is often unnecessary.
Is being a defense contractor that bad?
Yup, they called amplifiers repeaters and it would boost the analog signal. They would busy it out but the tubes were still hot so the glove was needed.
My son, 17, learned to program in Scratch, and wrote a lot of games in it. Since then he has learned Python, Lua (in which he wrote a space invaders), and Java in both high school and during the summer at Cornell. He can write in these languages, but the problem is, he thinks in Scratch. He always goes back to write things in Scratch. In Scratch he has written a number of ray tracing and path tracing renderers which can model roughness, specularity, ambient occlusion.. He teaches me stuff about rendering that he reads from papers. Right now he is working on an NES emulator in Scratch that necessarily includes a 6502 emulator. It can load and play Mario games. But I can't get him move his ideas to a textual language.
I think it's best to begin at the beginning and learn to hear tonic, subdominant and dominant. After that you can pretend that you're Radiohead.
I tested the Base64 thing with GPT4 and it produces code that does seem to work. There have been other tasks I've given it (C++, Clojure, JS) that it doesn't get on the first try or in some cases doesn't get at all though. One task I tried in C++ it kept going in circles and ignoring requirements from prior prompts and I tried numerous ways to prompt it.

All that in mind, I'd be lying to say I'm not more than a little concerned with the progress from 3.5 -> 4. I'm only two years into my career and my fingers are crossed that it won't significantly impact the market for devs for as long as possible.
I see this alot.
Donald Trump isn't Al Capone,and the analogy fails enormously.
Donald Trump is a former president of the United States. He's beloved by his base in quasi-religious way, even across the globe. Italy had parade with a "God-emperor Trump".

Trump cannot be treated with like Al Capone. He has run as the anti-establishment candidate, and by god you better have a bulletproof case on him or you have just angered millions of people.

He literally won half the country, his rallies ALWAYS have huge turnsouts.
This guy is a Napoleon or Caesar in the making, and New York has just given him something to boost his profile when it was failing against Desantis.

Donald Trump isn't Al Capone, that analogy does them both a disservice and distorts reality.

Donald Trump was literally president of the united states for 4 years, any prosecution has to be air fucking tight or the whole system collapses.
I think you are misreading 1984 as a warning about technology.

The book was finished in 1948, when governments were perfectly capable of turning fascist and exterminating millions of people with 1940s era technology.

Orwell also wrote a famous book about talking farm animals doing the same sorts of things.
Incorrect. Half of school funding comes from property taxes. The other half comes from state and federal sources to offset the disparity from property taxes. Here is a good breakdown of per student spending in Maryland as an example: https://conduitstreet.mdcounties.org/2019/02/20/funding-per-.... Notice how federal and state funding is used to offset (often more than offset) differences in local funding.

My thoughts in a few words: Flowy provides an outlet for intentful communication amongst team members that mimics office-like talking culture!

After downloading the application, I am getting more accustomed to this unconventional tool in interacting with my peers. I could see how the nature of such a product could grow into something more powerful that can address multiple comms-based problems across multiple teams!

Much of the vision is in the demo; however, I strongly suggest to download the application and utilize it amongst a core group of people that you communicate with! I'm also experimenting with the viability of using this for teams working in my startup, and so far, initial sentiment is positive!

For the cross-border platform sellers represented by Amazon, multiple stores have long become the standard. Overseas users have strong shopping demand, China's supply chain is well-developed and perfect, and the docking is on these big platforms. However, the platform generally allows only one company an account.

In addition to AMZ, you have to keep FB marketing account, developer account, FB ads account, Google developer account, Google Ads account, Gmail, Twitter, eBay, TikTok, Tinder, etc.

In short, in order to do a great performance, you can't do without the multi-account strategy.

If the multi-account management is good, it not only can solve the affiliate's various offer business, but also can solve the cross-border e-commerce industry multi-account management needs, and can solve the application of multiple enterprise developer accounts on the App Store vest package and not be associated.

Since multiple accounts are so important, how to manage so many accounts? Will they be associated? Is there any professional tool? Is it expensive? What is its reputation?

Today we will answer your questions one by one and bring you objective personal test experience.

In the overseas marketing industry, many times it is necessary to open multiple accounts and not associated them with each other. For example, e-commerce accounts, swipe, advertising marketing, social marketing, and so on.

Most people think that as long as you change the IP will not be identified, in fact, not, because HTML5 and JS are becoming more and more powerful, the computer's browser, can be obtained through technology fingerprint information, manufacturers can track technology through the fingerprint, so as to identify the real identity behind, so the IP is only one dimension, in order to prevent the detection of manufacturers, there are many ways on the market, such as using multiple computers, virtual machines or with Multiple VPS to manage, but is there a way to use one software instead of multiple computers, and can be easily authorized for team use?

The anti-detect fingerprint browser is one of the best solutions.

MuLogin is an antidetect browser software developed by Chinese people, which not only controls fingerprint management, batch multi-open browser, and share profile to any user to facilitate team collaboration but also supports Selenium browser automation, users can not only get random configuration in the basic configuration interface to simplify the process of configuring the standalone environment but also manually modify the profile, moreover, you can set preferences according to your own needs to create multiple anti-association fingerprint browsers quickly and easily.

MessageMyWay is opt-in and has a robust opt-out mechanism - and is sadly moribund. It sends a maximum of a couple of hundred emails a day.

And we are registered with GMail spam feedback loop and Microsoft's SNDS, both of which tell us when someone marks a message as spam. This happens less than once a week, so this isn't the signal that triggers the rate-limiting.
It’s about time that there are consequences for a man who took over the USA on a platform of essentially denying that he could ever face consequences.

Hilarious/sad conversation I had with my wife about this.

Me: You seem to not care at all about public schools dumbing down the curriculum. It could happen here too.

Wife: Why should I? This doesn’t affect us. We’ve already decided our kids are going to private school.

Me: Sure. Just sucks for smart but poor kids.

Wife: Good for us. Weaker competition for our kids.

Software Engineering Gender Bias in Large Language Models
> administrators try to establish "equity" by pushing all students down, instead of them up

It's truly disheartening to see the San Francisco school district's actions resemble something straight out of Orwell's 1984. As someone who has lived in this city for years, it's painful to witness the gradual decline and the rise of corruption overshadowing the progressive spirit that once defined it. Instead of addressing the root cause of poor math education, the district has opted for obfuscation and dishonesty.

It's a classic case of doublethink, where they attempt to hold two contradictory beliefs: that they're doing what's best for the students while simultaneously suppressing their educational growth. Much like the Party in 1984, they seem to prioritize maintaining a facade over genuinely improving education. I wish we could challenge this dystopian approach and hope to meaningfully improve the situation, but at this point, I am not even sure how one would go about doing that.
My mind went to 2b2t as well. Unfortunately players still tend to congregate somewhat around spawn. Perhaps Folia lets them raise the server cap to a degree, but it appears here that you still can’t have more than a couple hundred players in the same area. Allowing more than that limit on the server invites a mess in the event enough of those players end up in the same place for whatever reason.

Eimac, founded before WW2 but now some division of some corp, is the gold standard for amateur radio amplifier tubes and is still used by governments. They developed technical advantages while making a lot of radar tubes during the war and amateurs scooped up the surplus and later became regular customers and then commercial suppliers like Collins designed them in. They were part of Varian for a while and make modern very high power klystrons among other things.
If I squint my eyes it looks like the sex stuff is being dragged into the sunlight to get a big part of his base (the loud Christian one that outwardly claims they're aghast at infidelity) to reconsider their allegiances.
Guitar tone is built on breakup, and solid state did not break up like tubes. Not for a long time, at least - arguably FET transistors do a good job, but you still don't get the sag that a tube rectified AB amp yields when cranked.

The only reason that solid state is now catching up to tube nowadays is that:

* Front of house tech and home recording has made riding cranked amp tone live in a live environment a hassle, both technically and in terms of achieving the sounds that are being recorded

* Solid state can credibly emulate tube tone now (this has happened on things like tube compressors, too)

Having said all that, any time spent in the guitar pedal market (particularly around dirt boxes) will convince anyone that guitarists are indeed, as you say, total suckers for snake oil and marketing. :)
Outside of the funding issue, most of this comes down to socioeconomic status and cultures of ethic groups. For example, a student in a wealthy household might be given support and the space to not have any other responsibility outside of academic achievement while a student in a lower income household might be expected to contribute to their household by doing more domestic chores and child/elder care. The student in the later situation will obviously have less free time for studying but, perhaps the more damaging aspect, may also be less engaged at school because they already have a mountain of responsibilities at home.
This is why parents move out of San Francisco when they have children. There are more dogs than kids in the city. The city government is actively hostile to children.

> What a lot of people miss when wondering why musicians still love tubes when emulations are so good now is: Tubes amps are repairable.

Uh, yeah, no. Tube amps are terribly unreliable and most solid-state stuff will survive being dropped off the truck. There is a reason why touring musicians are tending to use modeling amps now. They can take their Neural/Kemper/Fractal box in their carry on on a flight and grab whatever standard speaker-amp is available at the destination and be ready to go.

And maybe a tube amp is nicer--if you get the "stage queen". Unfortunately, that's less than 10% (often less than 1%) of whatever amp model you have and costs a fortune if you are ever lucky enough to bump into one probably needs an expensive amount of service work to start. Whereas your modeler is a very good approximation and you will always get it when you buy one.

I’m getting a more “Harrison Bergeron” feeling than I am 1984: https://www.tnellen.com/cybereng/harrison.html

If you got the sign ups goals you wanted, then ignore, and I'll be happy if you share it with me as it's a good lesson for me to learn here as well. But if you got underwhelming response, you might have missed on an opportunity to really cast a wide net of potential customers. I'm not a data scientist, so I only have a vague idea of what problem you solve, but I will be less likely to send it to my data scientist, compared to a similar product with an un-gated demo / real freemium / reverse trial / time limit trial without a credit card.

I might be completely wrong here, this is just my very humble opinion. If it works for you, then I take my virtual hat off.
The web succeeded in its initial mission and is an amazing innovation. I love the Internet. ChatGPT is a massive innovation. Check again in a year lol.
I could see that happening for this charge. In the scheme of things, paying off a sex worker is a petty transgression. Many will have done worse at some point. Showing forgiveness will be a win for everyone.

But if one of the insurrection prosecutions makes it up - then it's hard to see it being pardoned. "Petty" is not a word that springs to mind when describing the events of Jan 6th.

What effect will this have on the economy longterm? Most software jobs for instance don't require much beyond simple arithmetic, but you need people with a mathematical bent to do the groundbreaking stuff. If this kind of BS is allowed to fester in the education system where do you find those people 10-20 years from now? You can't do it all with foreign workers, especially with engineer salaries becoming increasingly competitive outside of the US.
I guess there are lots of different interpretations of what it takes to be "smarter".

Personally I've learnt several foreign languages to the point where I can read classic novels in one of them. Different cultures and idioms help me see things in a different light.

I have also dabbled with woodworking, gardening / hydroponics, electronics / embedded systems. Read more widely in the fields of chemistry, biology and linguistics. Also read biographies of notable people.

Do I feel smarter? Not really. The more I learn and discover the more I realize all the things that I know nothing about.
