They were saying they split the old 1-year course across the two new 8/9th grade courses, but added in a bunch of extra stuff to the each of the replacement courses- useful modern stuff like data analysis and statistical modeling. They were making the point of focusing on deeper understanding through real world applications instead of rote memorization, which sounds good in theory, but takes up the time that was previously spent on the second half their Algebra class.

The part that boggles my mind is that these kids wont even see polynomials until high school! I'm pretty sure we were learning that stuff in 5th grade.

The movie did an excellent job of fleshing out the story while remaining true to the tone and content of the original. (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113264/)

I've heard about that, it went about as well as one might expect.

I find it really bizarre because it's like they didn't even try. They really just thought that they could completely gut all of the government services, replace them with nothing and the wonders of magical capitalism would just handle everything.
It is literally a battery chemistry. It should have broadly the same properties as li-ion batteries. There should not be any challenges, at least not ones that can't be solved via just spending more on R&D.

Not to mention that you are consistently implying that this must somehow come at the exclusion of progress anywhere else. That is an absurdity. The point is that we should take this idea seriously alongside other ideas.
That smells like illegal age discrimination for any other employer.
It’s interesting that the airlines seem to be jumping at the opportubity to cut flights (or at least that is the impression that the article gives with words like “authorized” and “opportunity”).

Does anyone know why?
I was in Borneo last month and saw round lamps in a rainforest covered in swarms of ants at night, all standing equidistant and with their jaws wide open and raised. I picked up a leaf and poked one in the mouth and it immediately clamped shut and other nearby ants rushed over to assist the ant in pulling in the leaf.

It seems like the ants stand on the lamps and wait to catch other insects that fly by then strike in unison. It was an incredible strategy.

I do appreciate this given the "option" to literally just let it run its course.

But realistically, this is not a true option. You have to cut flights. Too many lives are at risk.

Right on. At least they give a reasoning. It does feel kind of arbitrary but maybe they had a history of older applicants failing abysmally. It would be nice if that is the case that they would actually make said research public information. If you are going to blanket exclude a group on possibly shaky legal grounds (age is a protected class) you had better have some data and explanation to back it up. Even then with the data it feels more appropriate to say something like “<1% of applicants over 30 succeed, we strongly discourage you from applying”, rather than just saying “sorry, you can’t apply at all because you’re over 30”

There are people who don't understand sociology and are only vaguely aware of pathological cultural factors (or possibly, though they are aware of them, wish to deny their existence) and demand that these problems be solved with bureaucracy.

Bureaucracy is only able to crudely affect these, and only in the most totalitarian of regimes. Mao or Stalin might have been able to rid their countries of pathological cultural factors (of course, instead of doing such they were more concerned with ridding themselves of potential rivals). California cannot at this point in time do any such thing.
Isn't this related to the fact that the FAA themselves shutdown the recruiting & training pipeline and now we're seeing the impact of that?
Whilst your comparison is problematic on the grounds that Cuba suffered from decades of economic sanctions, it still manages to do better than similar nearby economies, Haiti, Jamaica, etc.

The point I was making was that the person I was replying to was claiming that Japan's economic prosperity was due to it have a "free market" which it does not (unless you count socialism for the companies as "freedom").
My point is the idea is taken seriously and there is already funding and research applied to it.
that's a very roundabout of sayin that is because older people are much harder to trick into working with disregard to their own health.

talk to principals. i’ve talked to a few and heard pretty consistent responses. the early grades k-5 don’t really matter. middle school 6-8 you need to get into algebra so you are doing geometry in 9th grade. other honors programs for english need good grades but rarely require this kind of years in advance track / planning. but you have to make sure the high school you are targeting (when you get there) has the classes
I could easily believe the constraint being the tiny number of k-12 teachers who themselves understand math well enough to teach it like this, no matter how small you'd like to make classes.
A large part of this is cultural, not linguistic. Japanese syntax has just as much structure to it as English syntax. The difference is that ellipsis is socially accepted in Japan to a much greater extent than in Anglophone societies. You could generate abbreviated sentences in English, which listeners could understand just as well, but people would think you were being rude.
You're welcome.

I took a very quick look at the iPhone capture. I don't see any notable issue (which is expected since this is "working" behavour), and the main noticeable item in the comparison is an apparent lower latency to the server. This appears to match the speculation I saw in the updates as well.

One thing you might be able to try, if you're able to change the APN on the hotspot, is to see if you're able to connect with a different APN from the consumer side. This is pure speculation, but what some carriers do is use a different APN for their business services, that will route to enterprise only packet gateways. Some carriers may not necessarily disable access to the consumer APNs though that might go through a different P-GW that's closer to you. The iPhone looks like it's using a path about 120ms shorter than the hotspot. And just by chance, going through a different P-GW you might hit different traffic shaping equipment or configuration.

Edit: although be aware that the carrier could also charge different APNs separately. I have no idea what AT&T does.
Every new technology which can be applied where existing art or artisanship exists causes similar lamentations, LLMs and image (which includes video) generation (especially because it spans visual styles from “photograph-like” to “cartoonish” to “3d-rendered” to…) just is doing for an unusually wide swath at the same time.

> hydrogen fuel cells are technically batteries and have absurdly high energy densities.

The devil is in the details - this is only partially right. Hydrogen has absurdly high energy densities when considering weight, however when considering volume it has absurdly low density. The low volumetric density is one of the primary barriers to hydrogen adoption.
Japan is a relatively populous single market with a single language -- about 125 million people at present. It's smaller than the USA, at about 332 million; but almost 60% larger than the most populous Western European country, Germany.
I personally can't see how this will do any good. I've asked a few Korean teachers about it and they couldn't either.
How much do school districts in California spend (as a percentage of total budget) on staffers who do not teach children directly?

If it is (for the sake of argument) a quarter of the budget, then I ask would 33% more funding be able to shrink class sizes to a degree that would meet your approval?

If instead it were half the budget, would a 100% increase in funding not be able to shrink the class sizes enough?

Does anyone know what the actual percentage of staffers vs teachers is, or what proportion of funding goes to each? Not just payroll, but also the office buildings for staffers vs school buildings for classrooms, etc.
It must suck to be poor but not belong to any one the correct identity groups nowadays. I am lucky I was born way before that, or I would never have be able to leave poverty.
Of course you don’t need it, I don’t think anybody would argue you do. The article even acknowledges that in the 3rd sentence :)

Personally I use Next/React along with all the fun stuff that goes with it for basic personal sites because it’s the same stack I use at my day job and I can be productive quickly. The skills are transferable, I frequently learn something while working on a personal project that I can apply to a work project, and vice versa. That part is very valuable to me.
Do you think there’s a threshold at which point non libertarians would agree taxation is theft? Perhaps when gov spending is 80% of gdp ? 90%. 100%? 110%?

We’re already now at 44% here in the US. And if you’re in the Bay Area or tech, almost certainly your paying a lot more if you count all the downstream taxes like property taxes permitting sales tax, and all taxes you pay when you buy stuff.
Right? Can I do this at my company?
I'm pretty sure I was too...and I did not go to an elite middle/high school by any stretch of the imagination. Also, maybe I was just lucky in my math teachers as a kid, but I can't for the life of me remember rote memorization in math for almost anything outside of maybe being forced to memorize times tables at some point.

I honestly thought memorization had been disproven to be effective eons ago.

Will customers at your company die if you make a mistake? I do not support age discrimination (roughly around 40), but also want to survive my flights, medical procedures, and anything else where age impacting ability intersects with life safety. A tricky balance for sure.

A typical New Yorker attempt at maximizing controversy by framing a German city celebrating it's own techno pioneers as "stealing credit" for techno from Detroit.

As a guy who got into electronic music in the mid 90s and has seen the likes of Derrick May/Juan Atkins/Richie Hawtin live on multiple occasions, I really hate this attempt to try to turn every music genre into another "Elvis stole it" narrative. One of the most amazing things about the US techno/rave scene was how incredibly racially inclusive it always was, primarily because it was so dominated by gay Americans of all races who found that they faced aggressive bigotry from all skin colors. Hell, the Detroit techno scene really kicked off in the clubs that catered to Detroit's black middle class in the burbs, because the inner city Detroit black clubs were filled with aggressively, violently homophobic dudes looking for an excuse to beat people up.

I have fond memories of the absolute color-blindness of clubs in DC (Buzz/Nation) and Baltimore and yes, Detroit too. Nobody who lived through this scene would think that the Frankfurt museum is coming at the expense of the Belleville crew, ever.

Journalists love making things about racism. It's an immediate click magnet, but it's just gross to see something that was so beautiful cast in an inaccurate light by some journalist who was indoctrinated into a race obsessed, univariate model of human social interactions by a university professor.
Is it a cover, is the US expecting any impending major actions or disasters.
Not to mention the crucial land reform project targeting landlords:

> The government forced absentee landlords to sell all their land to the government. Farmers were allowed to own a small amount of farm land that they could rent out to others ( 2.5 acres or one hectare in most parts of Japan, and 10 acres or 4 hectares in Hokkaido), and had to sell any excess to the government. The government then sold this land, usually to the tenant who had been farming it. The result greatly improved the living conditions of farmers.

How otherwise are you going to develop abstract thinking? There's a huge boulder in front of you and you need to hire a truck to move it. But to do that you need to know the weight of the boulder. How do you measure it? Or there is a very tall tree you need to cut down, but if the tree is too tall, it might fall on your house. How do you measure its height?
I think this is the most widespread hype I’ve seen. Whether it will pan out in terms of actual usefulness remains to be seen I think, so kind of hard to say what compares yet.

Part of me wonders whether there would be this much hype without COVID and the Ukraine war and the economy causing so much gloom. People are yearning for a savior of some kind it feels like (I say that as a comment on human nature and as an atheist, this isn’t a disguised Christpost).

I skimmed the paper - this is interesting on many aspects but I liked the breadth of what they analyzed... they use Excel as one of the examples!

I know it is a valuable skill to be able to efficiently break down problems into abstractions but I suspect you would still end up with "porcelain"[0] that would hide so much of this it might not be worth it. Or maybe it is so generic it becomes a standard of sorts (or certainly a standard way of doing things) with flavors of implementations on top of it?

In the conclusion they say:

> ... a simple recombination leads to a design for a monadic suspending cloud build system ...

Totally over my head as I still don't grok monads despite my belief I use them or something very close to them all the time without realizing it. I could not implement one. Anyway, I digress... neat paper and I will keep working on digesting it.
