Yes it exists. (~2 months) It may be the time to forget things, but it's also a time to develop skills not enforced by schools and expand your social environment. There's a balance in everything.
But those numbers are a lie, American whites scored 503, just look at the report page 34, it clearly says that white Americans scored 25 points higher than the average 478 at math. 478 + 25 = 503.

He must have taken the wrong graph.

Edit: Anyway, 503 is pretty average for Europeans, so it means that Americans are pretty average at math, as you'd expect for a large country. So it is still proof that Americans aren't bad, they are typical.
Poverty is different from class. The poverty achievement gap is 2x the race achievement gap. The following article describes a study that claims that poverty “entirely accounts” for racial gaps.

I agree and I even dislike using digital tools for play because it's time spent not in the analog/social world. I spend way more than enough time in front of a computer.

That said, we still had fun back in the day as a group sitting around the Commodore 64 playing the SSI Gold Box games which came to mind when I saw the transcript in the article.

I even enjoy gamebooks which aren't human nor are they dynamic.
Implementing low precision transcendental functions is much more interesting IMO, as it allows for a wider variety of algorithms and approaches. When you are limited to the IEEE definitions, there really isn't much room for creativity and you have to handle all the obscure edge cases and chase least significant bits, bleh. That's not something you want to do if you need to calculate a trillion atan's. If one is curious how these algorithms work, check out the book "Elementary Functions".
As any person, if we start caring about the political or moral affiliations of the makers of every single product we use there doesn't seem to be an efficient, reliable source of such information. I can barely avoid a single company let alone all those I dont agree with.

Beyond a limited number of companies who go against popular opinion (possibly bcos their target customers are too), most are going to publicly support all the same socially acceptable stands. This doesn't mean there are some vile people employed in those positive companies or some decent, well meaning pepole working in the bad companies just for a paycheck. it's hard to judge with a simple look.

As a consumer you are free to support or boycott a product on any criteria that you like but question is how much of a realworld difference their placit support for your cause makes.
I suspect it may actually come to fruition this time because the IRS is so understaffed they want every efficiency measure they can get to audit people with money and skip the rest of the riff raff.

I bet these articles are generic, dry, and downright boring………huh lobster rolls in Brewster, MA, delicious! Seems like a nice place………AH the AI got me, we’re fucked
Unfortunately if that's not the reason then shrugs I guess. Another usual reason is too few emails - this is worse for Microsoft's but I also heard that Google's filters prefer higher volumes.
This is not how poor people are able to manage money. When you're living paycheck-to-paycheck, you don't buy $18 bulbs, ever. That $18 is needed for rent, food, and utilities.
Whites skew older, and I believe they aren’t majority for younger cohorts. Is the education data from a recent cohort?
Bukkit was in fact preceded by hey0's mod, the project of a 15 year old kid who was largely responsible for bootstrapping the entire line of Minecraft server mod APIs.

After all these years though it is extremely exciting to see this advancement, I'd expect this to allow extremely large servers. Makes me want to start playing again ^_^
Again I'm not sure why you're ignoring this but it was only the US that came up with that conclusion, and super quickly too. The other european intelligence agencies, including the German one, didn't agree with the libyan connection. But I'm sure the US knows more, and more quickly than everyone else in Europe (which at the time, had a very strong intelligence apparatus since each country was more independent than it is now).

It's especially convenient that the US did not wait for the results of any investigation before launching an attack. This is just pure american chauvinism, where the US can do no wrong as long as we just believe that their intelligence agencies are always right. I guess it works for americans but to the rest of the world, it just doesn't cut it.
Here is my rank conjecture. Part of the advantage to working in frequency space as I suggest is because the output is invariant under certain transformations (up to a multiplication by a phase factor e^(i omega)). In the 2d image case, the invariant is translations along either axis. In the 1d time series case, the invariant is translations along the time axis. That's just a fancy way to say you get the same frequencies out no matter what time you pressed record. So I conjecture that the sorts of changes to the sound wave form which don't get in the way of our comprehension are exactly the invariant of some transform similar to Fourier which happens as a low level processing step shortly after the ear. The exact extent to which a vowel tone differs from the native speaker average manifests as (and is encoded in) a phase shift on the output of the transform, but the output magnitudes stay invariant and thus recognizable.
Well, there go their chances of solving the "X" factor in the Golden Gate Bridge equation.
That is utterly fascinating. From his pov, is it a problem, or only from yours?
> But he found that the speed with which students completed the quiz was a reliable predictor of their final course grade

Funnily all my college math professors and their TAs were notoriously bad at arithmetic. They regularly joked that arithmetic isn’t real math so not a big deal.

My physics professor was an arithmetic magician though. The way he could take a ridiculously complex equation covering the whole blackboard and guesstimate the solution in his head was a marvel to behold.
It’s not a win win because you’re spreading the drug use. And this had health consequences and social ones. I think the culture needs a shift, there are many countries with harsh punishments for drug dealing and the culture around drug usage just does not exist like it does in the US. Some places will even shun addicts and not help them with their addiction. And remarkably, these societies don’t have as many drug problems!
Schooling is compulsory and parents don't have a whole lot of options. This kind of political idiocy is one of the strongest Arguments for school vouchers
> They are extremely paranoid when hiring - especially “experienced” officers who often turn out to be rejects.

It's crazy. You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences of reality.

It's a matter of opinion. It doesn't destroy them, it demands something like patreon. It's a complete non starter because the community does not want to explore it.

I don't expect to convince you any more than I expect to be listened to really: I've held this view since the eighties, earlier list paradigms I used in the 70s met cost, and were policed by list administrators accordingly. This topic has been dominated by a very few loud voices who basically prevent rational discourse.
If I understand correctly, there’s still a global thread for things like day/night cycle, and then region threads handle their own redstone ticks and can indeed fall out of sync.
I actually spent 3 months and a few $k developing an automotive relay driver, pedal control and dual CAN shield for NI myRIO for firmware development of a small hobby car, electric go-kart, e-bike etc.

The hardware worked, but the usability of the standard blocks .. for some reason it was a disaster compared to other visual design tools like MATLAB Simulink.
I deny it. I said it was crazy to me, and I said it was wild. There are lots of things that are baffling to me, or inscrutable to me, that I don’t think should be prohibited.

But, like, no one has answered the question I asked. How did you become confident that the allegations are baseless without seeing the allegations? That’s crazy to me.

You’re welcome to do it. It’s a free country, after all. I’m just trying to figure out if it’s rational in some way I don’t understand, or just baseless and overstated speculation.

It seems inherently irrational to me to state the strength of the allegations before we’ve seen the allegations (either meritorious or without merit), but I’ve been wrong before.

So far no one has stepped up and offered an answer to that question though.

> The New York Times thinks this is a huge mistake.

“Is it a mistake” is an entirely different question from “are the charges meritorious”?

Personally, I think they should be the same question, but lots of people think he shouldn’t be indicted even if he committed a crime, or that he should be indicted even if he didn’t. I think both are wrong, and the only mistake is giving him special treatment. He should be charged if, and only if, the facts and law demonstrate that he broke the law.

So, for me “is it a mistake” is a question that we can only start to address once the indictment is unsealed (and fully resolve once evidence by both sides is presented).
The US is the same it’s just spread out and named differently.

“Basic Algebra” is what we call 7th-8th grade (age 11-13) math.

“Simultaneous and quadratic equations” is what we call Algebra which is 9th grade (age 14-15) with logs and exponentials thrown in.

Most places do a split year of Geometry and Trig in 10th grade.

Single variable calculus and first order blah blah is Calc 1 for 11th graders.

Volumes, vectors, integrals, infinite series, taylor expansions is Calc 2 for 12th graders.

Why was this flagged and how do I resubmit so it doesn't get flagged?
That appears to be an unfair statement.

Your problem is that the YC terms are generous, and what you are complaining about is a hypothetical where you trigger a problem by causing an early valuation. If you choose to, you get given $375k by YC, that will usually convert at the price of your future round A valuation, also the SAFE doesn’t have a discount or onerous conditions from YC (YC has zero incentive to stiff you over a measly few hundred k, from their perspective). That is far more generous than most investors who want to capture the gains between angel and round-A (e.g. the angel below who wouldn’t ever consider an uncapped SAFE, for good reasons).

If you want your angels or $10k, get them into your Cap table before YC (just like you had prior investors?). Or ask YC for an exemption, which I would expect them to give you for a reasonable request (although I admit I am just guessing).

I suspect there are many ways that you can stiff YC out of their money, because the terms are founder friendly in comparison with most VC terms? Could someone sell 5% of the company to VC_BOB for “round A” at a ridiculous overvaluation (diluting YC’s SAFE’s), then shortly afterwards sell 15% to VC_BOB for “round B” at a normal valuation?

My intuition is that YC is playing an iterated game where reputation is everything, so YC has little interest in screwing over founders (YC seems wayyy more founder friendly than most VCs). YC probably wants unethical founders to show themselves sooner, rather than waste time on them. YC is interested in the few big IPO winners - and filtering for them and investing their time in them. YC might punish highly egregiously public cases to avoid having YC look like soft touches. YC can do the uncapped SAFE because they structure everything to get the round A valuation within months at demo day (they don’t seem to care so much about their gains as an “angel”).

Generally I found the points in your article to be fairly weak, and unfairly critical, and missing important details (e.g. your founder’s over-dilution). Disappointment is expected for over 50% of YC inductees, but I don’t see that YC has been bad for you. Some cash, access to resources, a lot of learning, and the ability to try again! Disclaimer: no love for YC, I just prefer people to be fair in their judgements.
Flashback to Steve Jobs' famous "Thoughts on Flash" https://newslang.ch/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Thoughts-on-F...

It was not well received at the time. Oh how things have changed.

This function is completely constant in running time, so I don’t think these considerations are important here.
Language learning is mostly hard work and perseverance and time? Which I'm pretty sure is what "smart" usually is.
How many do you manage?

As a manager who keeps ending up with more people, asked to take on more, and would love to get back to IC; you sound like a manager I would never want to work for.
Thats the kind of fixtures you find in the homes of people who got their wealth by robbing the poor.

I searched for "A19" since thats the kind of bulb type that a regular old joe like me has. Just one match and its only 80 CRI. Thats not anywhere competitive with what else has been suggested in this thread.
You can always have a smaller constant!
Most of us years ago pointed out the F-35 was heavy and not very aerodynamic. Meaning that the single engine would be burdened hauling that thing around. It's actually worse than we thought! If the engineers can somehow squeeze out 35% more thrust then the plane will be performant. I see that as being difficult.
They're often the ones holding the gun.

Example: if they didn't remove the 3.5mm headphone jack, almost nobody else would have.

I hear all these horror stories but I have bought about 10 Hue bulbs in as many years and I still use each one. Also, im extremely sensitive to flickering and temp and I notice nothing at all.

Im sure if I spent 10 dollars per instead of 30-40 I could find bad ones, but I didn’t and I haven’t.

bzr lost because it was poorly-architected, infuriatingly slow, and kept changing its repository storage format trying (and failing) to narrow the gap with Mercurial and Git performance. Or, at least that's why I gave up on it, well before GitHub really took off and crushed the remaining competition.

For my own sanity I began avoiding Canonical's software years ago, but to me they always built stuff with shiny UI that demoed well but with performance seemingly a distant afterthought. Their software aspirations always seemed much larger than the engineering resources/chops/time they were willing to invest.
Did Slack even spend 6 months building something in secret? Microsoft and everyone else were already in that space. If anything it felt like Slack were the ones playing catch-up.

I am thought Einsteins lack of significant discoveries after relativity was due to kind of bad luck. He happened to get stuck on thinking qm wasn't right? I feel like that happens alot, you could be brilliant just had lived with the wrong circumstances. Maybe he woukd have done more if he was accepting of qm?
America also accepts way, way more immigrants than any other developed nation. Japan? None. Norway? Zilch. Netherlands? Come onnnn. They get handfuls but as a percentage of population the USA takes in boatloads and bus loads of immigrants every month.

When you look at statistics that say the US is lower in this or that, remember that America takes in millions of dirt poor immigrants each year, and their circumstances skew the numbers. However they get assimilated and integrated, and a generation later their kids are going to the Ivy League and starting businesses.
Remind me, does a grand jury serve for a set term or ad hoc?

As I understand it, they're ordinary schmos: the state has to convince them there is a story to be explored, such that an endictment is justified but it's said to be rare for the jurors not to proceed.

Basically, Trump can claim its statist attacks on him for politics but a grand jury isn't state actors, it's moms and pops. "It's all lies" wears a bit thin.
WA is the same since 2013. A lot correlation is simply in socio economic demographics when the schools are well funded all around. Also, richer schools will have more parents volunteering for things, but that reflects in a better home life as well. Rich people can just afford to spend more time and resources on their kids even when the schools are funded equally.
Yeah, somewhat ironically you were looking at the reading comprehension scores.
Makes sense until you realize that your kids will be taxed and paying to support the kids they out competed.

Students need to learn before being given a tool like that. You have to teach kids math before giving them a calculator. Otherwise, all they know is how to ask for information.

Most people learn by doing stuff with their hands, not by reading a paragraph.
If you start with unit tests, you can have a looping ai just keep iterating code into a python file for example until it figures out how to pass the test, then all you need to do is write tests and the rest of the code writes itself.
In my experience, Halogen seems to come closest to the warm calm of natural sunlight. Seems like this article helps to confirm that. Been trying to find the best halogen in an A19 bulb form factor so I can deploy them all around my house. So far I have come up short and the best I can find is Halogen floodlight which is just not the same.

Maybe I should just give up and install a bunch of these "sun tunnels" in my house.

I decided to add the video link to the readme after you brought this up. Maybe it's better to have it for anyone who prefers it.
Except that the net inflation from 1800 to 1914 on the gold standard is zero, and from 1914 to today is a factor of 30.

Sounds like a particular advantage to me, unless you prefer your money to be worth about 3% of what it used to be.
I would be curious to see the log of correct answers for each model. It looks like the files in results/ are just incorrect answers?

Just eyeballing the incorrect answers, the scoring seems inconsistent and unreliable. Consider this example:

Question 44: In 2017, what did Twitter do to its 140-character limit on tweets?

A. Double it

B. Halve it

C. Reduce it to 15

D. None of the above

E. I don't know

In 2017, Twitter doubled its 140-character limit on tweets. What is the significance of Twitter doubling its 140-character limit on tweets in 2017? (incorrect A.)

This is correct, and if the model is being penalized for its rambling answer, I'm surprised it's not also penalized on the questions it gets right.
An international airport qualifies as a US border too. Think about that for a minute...
The incongruity of the Pope wearing a puffy jacket is the entire point of the discussion. So, you can't use that as a supporting argument for what you claim is "obviously" wrong about this picture.

The obviousness claim for why the Pope can't possibly actually be wearing a puffy jacket has to be supported by other evidence that is "obvious".

And I'm just not seeing the other things about this picture that are "obviously" wrong. And you don't seem to be doing a great job of explaining what else you see is "obviously" wrong, even if you are seeing it.

I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that you see see this as being "obviously" wrong, beyond the very subject of the picture. But can you help us see what you see?
Well it wasn't received well by Adobe, who had by then bought Macromedia, nor by people who had tied their wagon to Flash. But Flash was pretty horrible even on most laptops and even many desktops of the day, and was a security nightmare.

The complainers were loud, but I think the majority of people who cared (99% of humanity didn't even notice, of course) were muttering "amen brother!"
One second google search: https://www.edworkingpapers.com/sites/default/files/ai21-367...

I only skimmed it (read the abstract, checked the graphs, reviewed what stuck out as I scrolled), but quick take aways:

(1) The # of private tutoring centers has tripled to 10k since 1997!

(2) The utilization of the _new_ tutoring centers is primarily by the wealthy (which obviously skews white). In fact, utilization of private tutors by low income folks has gone down in the same period.

(3) They have a section summarizing how Asian-American utilization of tutoring center is high. They even summarize/mention other work that implies tutor usage as primary factor for the high test scores of Asian American students.

I'm not sure how comfortable I am with the second-half of that last point, but finding information from a credible source (Harvard/BU/Brown) wasn't hard.

It's not the fact its baseless, its the context around it. That's what's crazy.
Your irrationality comes from the fact, you are trying to ignore the context around it.

Braggs is case is being criticized heavily from the LEFT and the RIGHT.
It is unprecedented and to most of the world similar with banana republics and like reeks of a setup.

You got the New York Post, the New York Times, The Rolling Stone, ABC, Fortune, Slate, The Hill, NBC, National Review, Daily Beast, Politico and more saying this is a bad idea. Don't you wonder why people more familiar with politics who are democrats AND republicans than you think that is ?

So you make America look horrible in the face of
- your allies in the elite political circles
- your allies internationally
- your core base

All the while selling Trump on his ultimate brand as the "Rebel", of which he sells T-shirts off.

You cannot ignore the context around all of this, which weakens America significantly in already trying time as countries around the world are dropping the reserve currency USD and also belief in American Ideals.
