Not the OP, but it's a debunking of a fairly long book (and associated claims by one of its authors), so probably not. While threads like this reliably attract HN's substantial contingent of so-called 'race realists', the consensus among experts is that Murray is wrong. Therefore I really think we should be putting the burden of proof on people who think this consensus is false.

Murray's claims should be evaluated independently of his personal flaws, but you can also get some idea of where he's really coming from by checking out his Twitter feed. As a commenter on the video perspicuously puts it:

> The best argument against people who claim that the Bell Curve isn't racist is the fact that Murray isn't some incorporeal being who manifested out of thin air, wrote the book, and returned to the ether. He's a real person with a Twitter account, and oh boy.

Psychology is already quite lousy as a science, which has hardly made progress in 100 years, but educational sciences bungle somewhere below even social psychology. There's no reproducability, there's no idea of how the learning process works, let alone how to organize a curriculum. They've got no idea what they're doing, yet populate the school boards and ministeries, and mandate methods and topics.

We should take training teachers more seriously, pay them properly, and let them use time-honored methods until there's something that's truly better. A teacher, if close enough to the pupil, will be able to see what works and what doesn't.
No, for some maybe, for others not. Also quantity vs quality.

And also, what about those monopolies, I understand motivation, but the outcome is problematic.. If we want the everybody encompassing user platform it shouldn't be commercialized and owned like that, with a lot of idealism ;)

See that is another level problem there also.. if everybody jumps out of the window, I need too?How did we survive just prior to mega social networks.. huh.

So again, I know for some what you mention is the important point. But don't tell evryone, and also every playform, that if they are not aiming for super growth they are doing it wrong, because (and likely even intentionally) they aren't!
Small languages are everywhere:

- configuration files (*.ini, .<tool>rc, Makefile, TOML, CMake, ...)

- scripting complex applications (ELisp, Lua)

...

- pattern match languages for tree-to-tree rewriting in document processing (DSSSL) and compilers (GCC INSNs)

- modeling the shape of syllables and words of human languages (lexc, twolc, xfst)

- A DSL for modelling/simulating habours/ports became PostScript (no joke)
The word for this is “trademark infringement”. You are specifically not allowed to capitalize on the marketing of another entity’s product to bolster yours by implying through your name that you are somehow related. This is why “DALL-E Mini” had to change their name to craiyon.

There's always fights against those large bully companies to apply your rights going on, everybody is impacted one way or another. Even if you don't care about your rights, somebody always does and helps the overall community.
It depends: the projects make different trade offs and support different points of extension.

I find it useful to remember that MySQL has various storage engines (that make different trade offs, and may themselves have different options such as various row formats), when using for instance the default of InnoDB knowing that it uses index organized (meaning stores the data in a btree as opposed to heap) tables can influence what workloads perform well (is the primary key used heavily/load bearing).

Postgres often excels when queries are more complex, for instance being able to use partial indexes (include a subset of a table, a “where” clause in the index) can be very powerful.

One other point of differentiation that has been useful for me to consider for various projects is also the programming within the database(stored programs): specifically doing things like writing stored procedures/functions, Postgres has many high quality procedural languages(some are shipped in core like PL/Perl, or others like PL/R that are external) that can useful to express these with.
And the third step would be to ensure the classroom also had sufficient funding so it had all the right teaching materials (and the classroom was usable learning environment). Less pupils per teacher we know helps as well.
Why? That's the best way you can use these things.

Unless the Fediverse sorts their censorship issues out, it's not going to get anywhere near as much usage as Twitter. If you don't follow a very narrow political viewpoint then you'll almost certainly get banned from whatever server you signed up for.

They all enforce this on each other as well, with a shared block list of servers on which the operators allow users to say things outside of this narrow political viewpoint.

This sort of restriction on speech isn't conducive to a healthy community where ideas and thoughts can be shared freely. Instead it's more like an authoritarian state where you have to be super careful about what you say, under threat of exile.

I don't find it strange that paintings match weather patterns with statistical significance. Painters are directly inspired by what's in front of them, I find it more than reasonable that they snapshot the state of pollution in the atmosphere. If you view the trends at https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2219118120 slightly under "Trends in Contrast in Paintings by Turner, Monet, and Others" there are made convincing statistical arguments and the search for true "cause and effect" on wider phenomena such as society and nature is historically difficult without chains of statistical reasoning. It's not like saying person a shot person b causing c which is clearcut, more like events in set a slightly overlap events in set b and I find that a reasonable argument although not axiomatic which the world really can't be very often.

I don’t know enough about right-to-repair across the board to make a sweeping declaration.

That said, I tend to fall on the side of letting product/service providers set limits on how their products and services are used — as long as they are up front about those limits and don’t change them after the fact. And I’m generally against the idea that when a customer buys a product or service they’re owed anything beyond the product or service that they’re buying.
I think they turn into cranks much earlier. Part of this is that I think despite engineering not actually functioning that way, engineers can often get away with falling into cult logic (there is one true path) in a way that other disciplines are more resistant to. Look at hackerrank and whiteboarding- wtf is that if not straight cult logic.
You can just ask GPT how to do it. Much like a lot of web dev!
> I don't believe in everything that the mainstream media is telling us

You're being super vague. Just say what you don't believe, out loud.

You don't believe that there's people out there calling for eradication of ukrainians? Just go on Twitter, my dude. There's even american personalities calling for it. Do you see this shit? https://twitter.com/realstewpeters/status/164670071474641305...

You don't believe "what's happening" in Ukraine? I mean, why don't you go there; it's not inaccessible, and you don't have to take up arms to do so. But fine if you don't, just.. look at people who do. There's millions of people there right now, most of them with phones, and plenty of tourists and non-tourist foreigners.

Cheap is relative I suppose.

I’m running Vicuna 13b 16f locally and it needs 26GB of VRAM, which won’t even fit on a single RTX 4090. The next gen RTX Titan might have enough vram but that won’t come cheap. I’m expecting a price point above $2500.
Both of my parents learned to read at home, in poverty. Both had educated parents, who had been displaced by the events of the era. I learned to read at home. Both of my kids, likewise.

It didn't even remotely occur to anybody in the family that learning to read was special, or that there might even be any way to teach it other than phonics. English has a phonetic alphabet after all, right?

Moreover, learning to read at home was just part of our culture. When kids were deemed "ready," they learned to read. It wasn't a special thing.

I think my parents learned from whatever material they could lay their hands on. I learned from a 18th century reader that my mom found somewhere. My first word was CAT.

Both of my kids "took" to reading and were voracious readers. Lucky? Yes, but we also felt that letting our kids learn to read at school was leaving too much to chance.

I think the web-based protocol is the correct solution. Unfortunately it has been shot down already in Mastodon github issues, so another fedi project would have to take up the mantle on solving this.

Akkoma has 'Remote Follow' which uses an OAuth flow to execute the follow action on your home server. I think that's too heavy of a solution but it is pretty decent UX. Definitely better than Mastodon's which primarily prompts you to 'Sign in' 'On this server'. That's almost never relevant to the user and should not be the primary prompt when you click Follow.

I've been to every state in the contingent US, most many more times than once, and spent most of my time in rural areas / wilderness. Verizon was poor during the time I had it. I forgot what triggered switching from them but I didn't last long, had to switch to ATT. I switched to ATT because my Tesla uses them and I noticed it almost always had service in remote areas when I did not. Haven't needed to switch since.

ATT has a great plan for the Americas, south America is all covered, Canada is covered, and many other places. It worked really well for me in Brazil.

That said, when I start traveling to Europe and Asia more, I may switch back to Google Fi.

For domestic use, while traveling / on the road a lot? I would rate as follows:

ATT > Google Fi > T-Mobile > Verizon

Keep in mind, if you are mostly stationary it is better to use the carrier known for good service in your fixed location.
Ah. These days I just use speech to text, with a combination of swiping sometimes and tapping for punctuation.

I also don't to use my phone much anymore (since I reduced social media usage and disabled notifications).

FWIW I think the reason I moved away from SwiftKey was because it kept having strange language issues in a multilingual setup, but I haven't used it in a while; probably 5+ years.

Maybe I'm just not a touchscreen keyboard power user any longer

It's not a fantasy. They may not write them (though some less technical manual QA people will add to scenarios with a data table), but deciding on them and reading them, and spitting their results out into documentation are all useful in their own rights.

You are wrong. The Soviets were better than the US at only one thing: engines, and nothing else really. SpaceX wanted to use Russian rockets initially. They were unable to buy them, and started their own development instead. They were greatly inspired by Russian engine designs, which were very well made, but they have honestly improved and surpassed the Russians at this point.

The N1 has no connection with Starship. The only similar thing is the amount of engines, but Starship uses a different fuel which means a completely different plumbing technology. They have nothing in common. I mean, have you heard about that whole coming back part?

> And I hate it. miles-per-gallon is much easier to understand I think.

It's just something you're used to.

> I'd rather know how far a tank will get me than how much fuel I'll use to travel exactly 100km

Well, there you go, you're comparing apples to oranges. Unless your tank is exactly one gallon, you've made a conversion when you compute how far a tank will get you. Well, we do the same thing here. I want to travel 500 km? I'll multiply my L/100km by 5 and get how much gas I need. This tells me how many times I'll have to refuel, etc.
Agree it doesn't feel like a lot. We run our house, including a decent sized pool pump, off solar for most of the day. A Pi seems like very small fry in the scheme of things.

The reader should decide. It’s usually trivial to hold down a modifier key to open a link in a new tab or window, but if the `target` attribute is set in the link it’s not as easy to override it.

This debate raged in the early days of the web: what is the better practice? A consensus emerged among web designers that leaving it to the reader makes more sense. I’m proud that I convinced J. Zeldman that his early practice of using `target='_blank'` hurt the user’s navigation, and so played a minuscule part in nudging designers in general away from this.
I recognise Gordonjcp's autonomy to choose their own preferred identity. Nationality is a social construct that can be perceived differently in various contexts. If someone prefers to identify as Scottish rather than British, at least in informal settings, I believe it's important to respect their perspective instead of insisting on a particular label.

Of course, they might _technically_ be British from a legal standpoint, which I'm sure Gordonjcp is aware of. It's entirely possible to be both British and not-British simultaneously in different contexts. This sort of thing isn't black and white.
As far as making/performing modifications to the schema/data, as others have stated, transactional ddl is a huge feature for Postgres and makes migrations much more straightforward in my experience.
Fears that AI regulation will result in 'China taking the lead' should be laid to rest with these announcements - PRC is likely to be more keen than anyone else to control the output from GAI tech, and hence are likely to be early and hard with the regs.
What intrigues me here is if the same might have gone wrong with teaching people secondary languages. It's often seen as this big barrier to overcome, but you look at tools like Duolingo and they do this same "whole language" method instead of teaching people the phonics and letting them use that to fill out and learn how to read a foreign language using their skills to put words together, and instead they fall back to the same "guessing game". Especially when you get to languages with different alphabets, this jump can be very sudden and harsh to overcome.

When it comes to secondary languages we jump very quickly from teaching people "this is an alphabet" to "this is how to use words and sentences in that language". That might make sense if you're using a language that uses more or less the same alphabet (nobody who has English as their primary language is going to struggle that much with the German ß once you tell them it's just pronounced like "ss" when you transliterate it), but when you get to languages where the alphabet and how its pronounced differ significantly from your primary languages that barrier can be hard to overcome. The same can also be said for grammatical rules, especially if they're different compared to yours.

I had ancient Greek in high school and I distinctly recall finding it much more difficult than Latin specifically because the alphabet was so completely different. I did eventually learn how to read it, but the alphabet took me a year to get a grip on, and that's an alphabet with not even that many extra/fewer characters compared to the alphabet used in my primary language.
Middle mouse button (or control+click) in any browser opens a new tab (as long as you're using actual links, don't get me started on the morons who think "span with a onclick handler" is an acceptable substitute)

Forcing to open on a new tab breaks conventional behaviour, it should be left as the user's decision (either explicit every time, or a setting in their browser. This setting already exists btw, if you like more tabs you can enable it in your browser).

(Maybe a case could be made if the website is actually an application and there would be data loss if not for the new tab, but I would argue design your application so as data loss is not possible in that case)

---

As for myself, the browsing history is something very useful to have, I like keeping the amount of tabs down to near one per activity, so I regularly use the history to go back to what I was reading before. Forcing new tabs means I have to reach for more advanced tools like tab trees, which are often not worth the cognitive effort.

While he didn't invent hot Cheetos, he did go from janitor to marketing director, which is already an amazing accomplishment. It's a shame he's making shit up, because it ruins his own legacy.

There's so much money involved he might actually believe his own story now.

He probably makes more money as "fake hot Cheetos inventor" than "Frito Lays executive."

There's so little integrity involved when there is so much money.

The recipe it suggests is completely off. Just search for "ramen recipe" and compare.
For instance it tells you to add soy sauce, sesame oil and green onions to the broth (so far so good) but then tells you to throw all of it away ("once the noodles are cooked, drain them"). The problem here is that you should cook the noodles separately in plain water, not a broth with soy sauce.
not every hybrid has a an electric/gas engine that can work in tandem (some do, but not a requirement0. On the Volt the gas engine wasn't attached to the wheels at all, it was just a generator for the battery.
