The new meth is as total disaster that can render a consumer indistinguishable from a schizophrenic for up to a year. Rehab for that duration is prohibitively expensive and you cannot tell me that turning yourself into a virtual schizophrenic is an option we need in our society. I'm all for legal marijuana, mushrooms, LSD, maybe even cocaine. But this shit has gotta go!

>Really tough problem to solve, but the data does not support the conclusion that the American maths education system is "behind" or "failing" as a whole.

Wait, what? That is exactly what it means. If the groups that are least likely to get external support (ie a tutor, prep, whatever) are under-performing that implies the _standalone_ system is broken. Sure, it is not so broken that it can't be patched with outside aid, but that is true of many things we consider "a failure."

This is akin to saying "Of course my car can get across the country. All I need is the occasional tow-truck, you know, for when it overheats."
Thank you so much shagle! I still have not seem much info on how these things are actually implemented internally.
30 kph is also the limit for e-bikes in much of North America.
We had algebra in kindergarten. By 6th grade we were doing calculus of variations.
At this point if I had to allow-list all source domains (with choice of unblocking whole domain or just the sender) in exchange for no delivery issue as well as no spam.. I’d probably say yes to that. :-|
Hmm, I feel like this thing is a bit too ambitious. A version five perhaps, not two. I only wanted a luggable desktop replacement in the 16".

Still no word on the screen resolution?
totally agree with you. was just pointing out a statistical quirk I thought added value to the discussion.

I'll even retract my point that the US maths education system isn't failing as a whole. When two demographics (30% of the country and growing) are being left behind by the system, then the system is failing as a whole. I really hope to see this change in the future.
Those both look real good, and price effective for those of us just wanting to explore. Thank you.
Train it on what?

I want host our own AI, have it injest our docs, and answer questions about them. What is the best tool today to do that?
…or maybe always attempting to look at systems as a whole and fix it as a homogenous unit might be exactly why it’s failing in the first place.
No, just proper credit for their ideas... Most people wouldn't mind letting their ideas be shared across the world, it's that the credit isn't properly attributed in most cases now... That's why manual content watermarks are so popular...

It is apps like TikTok that allow content to be stripped of origin info and reposted without any sort of responsibility, not even copyright control needs to be asserted in most cases, it's a matter that sites like Youtube and TikTok do not allow a method of sharing that properly links back to the originating account, they'd rather foster content theft and reposting than create a fair accreditation model.
I don’t know either way. So presuming political motives is to me just as naive as presuming apolitical ones. I’m sure there’s some amount of political calculation, but it’s also entirely possible this is Bragg acting independently for his own ambition. If anything, that’s the most believable starting prior for me personally, but individuals chasing ambition is what happens every day and isn’t some grand DNC conspiracy, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much. I agree how political the DA office is pretty gross, but I think that’s always been the case because charging and prosecution is largely an inherently political act regardless of who you prosecute.
We have two email servers for redundancy (like when Gmail is rate-limiting), not load. We send about 10,000 messages a day total, or about seven per minute, spread fairly evenly across the day. No mass email.

I suppose it would be an interesting exercise to slowly increase servers/IP addresses until rate limiting stops, but servers cost time and money.
No one in power believes this. As a manager I can tell you are an IC and not a manager, director or anything close.

Even CEO's and board members don't.

The only reason they don't fight to the death is because they believe they can get a normal life afterwards.
This just selects for psychopath candidates willing to cross every line to fight and keep power.
I believe that since these are state charges, the pardon would need to come from the governor of New York.
Not surprising. This kind of moronism has been happening in India for nearly 100 years.

And look at that society: it's a sub-saharan "shit-hole" that has ruined its own future because of its borrowed obsession with "social justice" (and the political vermin that exploit them); which thinks squeezing out its best talent who then achieve wonderful things outside is something to be "proud" of.

There is enough reason to hate British colonialism, but it is under them that Indians bagged the first Nobel Prizes in Asia. Now, even those universities that produced them are being destroyed due to idiotic tribal dogfighting. Worse, unlike the US case, all this caste-propaganda doesn't even have much historical evidence to begin with!

Such potential wasted.
>> Leverage ChatGPT so students learn by repetition in innovative games with cool interfaces

It may be useful, but I'm not wrong here.

Software engineers and the like are too-frequently technology fetishists that are like the proverbial guy who has a hammer and thinks everything is a nail.

Even if "innovative games with cool interfaces" is the right way to educate kids, which is very unlikely to be true, those games aren't going to be spat out by ChatGPT.

And if they can be spat out by ChatGPT, why even bother educating most of those kids at all?
>If the groups that are least likely to get external support (ie a tutor, prep, whatever) are under-performing that implies the _standalone_ system broken.

Is there reasonable evidence to show that whites and asians receive "external support" at a rate high enough to convincingly explain a 50 to 100 point disparity on this test?
Fairly good, modern SS amp (like Boss Katana) have complex circuitry that requires a very knowledgeable tech who can diagnose and repair the issue. That can be $$$/h. Repair can cost as much as the amp.

Another major societal and cultural issue that could easily be rectified if values were shifted to care more about people than profits. Several countries in the world offer higher education for free and many offer it at prices nowhere near as obscene as the US and UK.

But such change is slow and I agree it is scant consolation for the people about to suffer through little fault of their own. Not many people thought AI was a serious threat to art jobs a few years ago inside developer communities, let alone outside of it.
All features of Discord work for me using the normal system permissions on screen recording and audio. I do run MacVMs with SIP off, but I leave it on as an important security feature most of the time. It's really not a lot different that say, SELinux, except a bit easier to administer but a bit less flexible. RO system volumes are getting popular too. Fedora has one, as does the steam deck.

I agree (and point out in my comment) that this is not a 1:1 comparison.
The system in this case is using property taxes as the primary funding for schools, so children in poorer neighborhoods get worse funding and worse outcomes.

Were these photos from the laptop? If so, as I said, the chain of evidence was destroyed through incompetence.

> Part of the answer could be that genetics play a larger role than anyone would like.

In studies like the Norway study you cite this could be controlled for by adoptions. Though adoptees, of course, come with their own non-genetic baggage.

I would hope that, at the very least, IQ testing would be performed to try to match based on that.
I agree with most of what you are saying, but when I read the letter my mind goes to the economic impact it could have.

A tool like this could bring humans prosperity but with the current socioeconomic conditions we live under it seems it will do the opposite. In my mind that problem feels insurmountable so maybe we just let it sort itself out? Conventional wisdom would say that tools like this should allow society to have UBI or a 4 day work week but in reality the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer.
And others, but chiefly this. This is not a technical constraint, it's a lobbying-fueled legal, policy and political constraint. We're keenly behind the ball as technicians on this one.
> Symbols are mostly useful for symbolic manipulation

This doesn't match with my experience at all. If you open up a math book and see integral signs everywhere, that immediately gives you hints for the kind of domain you're dealing with. If, on the other hand, you see mostly polynomial equations, then you're probably not worried about limiting processes. Mathematical symbols, at the graduate level and beyond, take on a communicative role in addition to the pure algebraic one you internalize during undergrad.

> In fact, you'll hardly find novel symbols [in any good mathematical book]

The average working mathematician has a working knowledge of at least a hundred squiggles. APL has much less. I don't quite see your point. It's not like APL programs are willy-nilly introducing new symbols.

> But that's good! It means there are less possible sources of truth, less things to update when something changes, and less context switching.

What would you rather read? 30-ish equations or PyTorch library code? Which do you think would be easier to grok? I am, of course, referring to the 30-line self-contained APL implementation of a neural net with performance on par with PyTorch:

Hsu and Serrão, U-net CNN in APL:
https://www.dyalog.com/uploads/conference/dyalog22/presentat...

To be clear, I am not making an arguing for APL; I am sharing my direct experience. Despite the completely natural intuition to the opposite, APL expressions turn out be experienced as readable. More than that, though, APL programs are able to make overall architecture and design readable in a way that's unseen in supposedly "readable" languages.

While you come up with arguments for why APL is unreadable, I'll continue to write readable APL :P Why not join me instead!

Touca (github.com/trytouca/trytouca) gives fast feedback (via email or PR comment) for each PR you create that shows you how the behavior and performance of your software has changed compared to a previous trusted version.

We were not competing with or replacing GitHub Actions so the flow that you described wouldn't change. If you were to use Touca, you would continue to run "cargo test/npm test/dotnet test/whatever" that are likely running unit tests and integration tests.

Touca tests are more like snapshot tests and property-based testing in that you wouldn't specify expected values. You could run them locally or on CI or on a dedicated machine.

You would write high-level regression tests using our SDKs in Python, TypeScript, C++, or Java that would let you capture values of variables and runtime of functions for any number of test cases. The SDKs would submit that information to the our remote server that would compare them against the baseline version, and visualize and report any differences.

Richard Nixon won the 1972 U.S. presidential election by a large margin. He defeated the Democratic Party nominee, George McGovern, by winning 60.7% of the popular vote and 520 electoral votes out of 537. This was one of the largest landslides in U.S. presidential election history.

It wasn't imminent at all.

If Nixon wanted to end the republic as we know it, he nearly could have. He had a insane mandate by the people.

I love my stereo tube amps and preamp. Not only does my system sound wonderful but I love tubes as objects themselves. These are the original electronics and I nerd out using them. Recently I got some 12j5gt tubes made by National Union. They were made for the military (Joint Army Navy, JAN) and had the date October 1942 on the boxes. I got a bit of a thrill out of the idea I was the first person in 80 years to see these. Call it nostalgia or whatever but actually using 80 year old electronics is just fun.

Most of the tubes that have become expensive are the ones that guitarists swear by. GEC KT66 and KT88 along with Mullard EL34 have surged in value as the supply has dried up. In the audio world the most expensive tubes are the 300B and especially the original 300A triodes. While Americans were in the process of throwing out and destroying the old Western Electric tubes, Japanese audiophiles started buying them up starting in the 80s. A tremendous number of the existing vintage WE tubes are now there and in China. The current version of the Western Electric 300b tubes have a very good reputation but there are other boutique manufacturers in Germany and Japan that also make highly regarded versions.

I own 400+ tubes. Like I said, I like them for their history and as amazing objects. I don’t own any really expensive ones but I have had fun finding alternative tubes for my equipment that are less expensive but have the same sonics as the more expensive ones. For example I can use tubes with heater voltages other than the common 6v. I have also done things like use a pentode tube converted to a triode. Lots of fun and it sounds amazing.
It's likely because the picture of the pope in a winter jacket went viral, and now they want to cash in on all the attempts to re-create that hype... Apps are only free until initial hype occurs now... It's the classic web service bait and switch move...

My hope is this allows expanding the player count on servers like 2b2t. The normal play style here is small groups of players spread out massively over the map. It would be incredible if you could effectively have each user on their own thread and mini server with it all just seamlessly working.

Would be outstanding to see a server with something like 4000 players online all on the same map.

One major issue is that SF doesn’t have many kids.

So “school issues” easily end up being implementations of ideologies, rather than of services provided.

People aren’t asking “are my kids learning” because they don’t have kids. And neither do their friends and coworkers.
I don't know if the rest of the article is behind a paywall, but I don't see anything about a policy.

The only policies I've heard of are either police department policies -- which is just codified laziness and refusal to do their job -- or district attorney policy which, as I said, shouldn't be relevant to whether or not police make arrests. It's their job to arrest people for crimes, not to solely arrest people for crimes for which they think they can get a conviction.

I doubt it too. Your first sentence is a fantasy for selling the technology.

If the technology really lives up to the hype, the "higher level" creative work will be done by a cadre of elite talent, the billionaires will directly operate their limitless capital, and the rest of the humans will be starved or eek out life as a billionaire's pet in some kind of reserve.

A college math professor who taught calculus told me that on the first day of class he gave students a quiz on basic arithmetic. The questions were easy enough that most students could score 100%. But he found that the speed with which students completed the quiz was a reliable predictor of their final course grade. Rote memorization of basic concepts does have some value in reducing the mental load and making it easier to focus on more complex concepts.

As a practical matter though, I think that most people working in STEM fields — including engineers — would benefit more from learning statistics instead of calculus.
Never mind, I read the numbers wrong.

It’s not “mind boggling” if you do a deep dive into the “ethnic studies” curricula that so many teachers and administrators are graduating from these days. It’s a completely parallel value system complete with revisionist history. It’s like the Wahhabist madrassas in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

There is a part of me that wonders how wise this is, not because Trump doesn't deserve it, but because Republicans will do the "my turn" and try to witch-hunt every opponent, even moderate Republicans, who they don't like.

Donald Trump is a criminal, and his crimes against this country were well documented in two impeachments. I agree that having "only" a tax fraud prostitution coverup is not ideal. Unfortunately, the Republicans in the Senate proved how disloyal they are to this country, twice, when they had to choose between retaining their psychotic base and doing what is right for the country.
