Thank you! None of the episode summaries says that.
Not really. If an American doesn't know where Oceania is (and they likely don't), then they are left to assume that Australia is the continent, not an island.

Hence, I was providing a counter-example to your dubious claim that "Americans know of islands and continents". Come to think of it... what do you even mean by that? What does it mean to "know of islands and continents"?
Probably - English doesn't have good rules of spelling, so phonetics is not a good approach to learning to read. There are often several different phonetic ways you could spell a world, only one of which is right (to, too, two). In reverse there are often several different phonetic ways to pronounce a written word.

As someone with Dysgraphia I often wished we reformed English to be more phonetic (I'm not sure if it would help me spell, but it wouldn't hurt)

These days dreamwidth.org is harder to view and interact with than facebook.com if you don't have an account. We really need to stop linking to it and link instead to an archive.is copy or the like.

After the run-around to the archived copy I see mgj is still complaining about people being able to boot in modes other than UEFI. I'm glad these options still exist. Throwing away all the legacy computing options would remove many abilities no longer possible on modern hardware and software stacks.
For context: even if you were able to do this regularly, it still likely wouldn't be enough to make a living as an artist.
Young kids don't start with logographic languages or whole world recognition. Just look at languages that use logographic scripts: Japanese has two phonetic "alphabets" (kana), and kids learn those first. Content for kids is written in kana. Kids start learning basic Kanji later on, but the phonetic script comes first.

Well, any app can make web requests for starters. If Facebook/Meta/Whoever wants to exfiltrate data from their app, they probably can. So, the issue on most apps becomes limiting the amount of personally identifying data that can reach that runtime in the first place.

Both Android and iOS now do a fairly good job sandboxing the filesystem, but both cannot protect against advanced fingerprinting/data processing. Apple can outline acceptable data processing terms in the App Store, but that doesn't stop bad actors from taking data and processing it remotely. In Facebook and TikTok's case, this is almost certainly what's happening - and why the government is the only one capable of holding them in check.

The "alternative" is restricting the amount of entropy a user can generate to near-zero, which isn't really useful for app developers. Suffice to say it's an unsolved issue, even with a singular App Store.
> In 2022, Google was 80%+ directly dependent on Ads for revenue, and 10.3% indirectly dependent on it.

I assume the 10.3% is "Google Other". That's things like YouTube Premium, Play Store and hardware. How is any of that even indirectly dependent on ads?

I (O.P.) want to be clear for the record that I am not endorsing (though not discouraging either) that Engelmann's or DISTAR methods be the new guiding light in schools. I can certainly envision that implementation going awry for lots of reasons.

I'm just stating that this particular book, in a 1:1 parent:child setting, has a great track record. 100 days of spending 10-15 minutes with your kid doing these lessons is a low risk intervention with tremendous upside. You don't have to have a teaching background to utilize it (the intro for parents is fairly extensive and important pre-reading), you just follow the parental directions.
I think it could be moving some, but IMO more correct thing to say is that "they should be thankful for free advertisement" argument never goes well. It makes no visible changes but seems to silently lock closed doors.
> Perhaps, but what I was emphasizing was that on iPhone such apps will likely not come pre-installed; neither by Apple (vs e.g. Samsung) nor by a carrier because I seriously doubt Apple would allow that.

If Facebook is willing to pay to have their app preinstalled, unremovable, and granted root permissions on Android, why in the world wouldn't they be willing to force users to sideload their app on iOS?
Just for future readers being "liberal" does not necessarily mean that one is "collectivist".

The OP, like many others, confuses governmental, economic, and philosophical ideals so that they can make a political point - one that does not contain much in the way of substance.

In the way of examples, neoliberalism [1] comes to mind.

If I wanted side loading I'd have gone for Android.

With Apple I can install my own apps and those of a couple of my friends; for anything else I let Apple provide some modicum of security checking.
The fact that you refer to twitter's issues in the past tense suggests that you don't use it very much. The site's bot problem is worse than ever, and I can barely view a handful of tweets on mobile before some javascript exception forces a full reload and trashes my entire state.
yep - just pop over to fidelity/schwab/etc. and you can buy treasuries, you can also buy directly with treasury direct (but its pretty clunky), you just need to do a little management (e.g. buy treasuries, reinvest when they mature)

Not at all! The IPCC models have come under very heavy criticism even from the more moderate climatologists, partly because the scenario that gets regularly referred to as "business as usual" (RCP8.5) in fact makes many extreme assumptions that deviate strongly from current practice. RCP 8.5 gets more than half of scenario references in the latest IPCC report, yet even the BBC has had to accept that it's unrealistic:

https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-51281986

The worst-case scenario for emissions of CO2 this century is no longer plausible, say researchers. Referred to as "business as usual", the scenario assumes a 500% increase in the use of coal, which is now considered unlikely.

[...]

Very few scientists realised that RCP8.5 was originally a 90th percentile outcome, not a most likely or business-as-usual outcome. They assumed too much, when they should perhaps have checked, say the authors of the review.

"How many of your average climate scientists know the nuances of RCP8.5? It would certainly be interesting to know."

The media, taking their steer from scientists, have tended to use the highest impacts when reporting on projections based on emissions scenarios.

A 500% increase in anything is not "business as usual" by definition, yet the IPCC and the various journalists and NGOs in its orbit have for years regularly reported it as such and used it to gin up reports of a non-existent crisis. Consider whether an institution that describes a scenario of massive change as "business as usual" can be trusted and what that means for their other claims.

The BBC describes this as a "communications cockup" in which scientists merely didn't realize the assumptions of the scenario they were talking about. But such "cockups" occur regularly and are simply not plausible.

If you really dig into this supposed crisis, it's always like this. The assumptions are absurd, unfounded or invalidated, the data is presented as precise but the error bars are massive and a million other things. You don't hear about it outside of forums like this one because the people who benefit from the population believing in an endless crisis have made it taboo to point out what they're doing.
I like reading articles about programming but I don't really want to get more emails. I also prefer reading offline over reading on the screen.

I figured there were probably other people like me so I decided to start a snail mail programming newsletter. You can find it here: https://www.codewithjason.com/snail-mail-newsletter/

So far 92 people have signed up from 19 different countries. If you choose to sign up, I look forward to send you letters in the mail (and hopefully getting letters back!).
Not intentionally, but it is. What Apple is offering is a financial ecosystem for families, particular for parents helping their kids manage money. Apple ecosystem is quickly becoming the one-stop shop for managing all things family
Ugh just stop. This is a fad and it's not well enough tested for it to be getting pushed out this quickly. I don't want AI in every facet of my life, we're giving up too much control too quickly.

Also, notice how they specify leaving negative reviews for “local businesses”, and not focusing on the big companies that can afford to lower their margins. And then, continue on to say we are suffering “quietly” by reducing the money we give name brands.

This is an article trying (and failing) to convince people to complain on social media and continue to spend money on expensive name brand foods, rather than taking actions that hurt megacorp bottom lines.

Well, my first computer was a Commodore PET, so I was there before, during, and after. Don't you think iOS with "side loading" would be more like MacOS in 2023 than Windows 98?

For the remaining population ... it doesn't matter whether they "could" 'fix it' - they won't (or can't)
This is still an objectively worse outcome for the person who doesn't want sideloading (fwiw, I agree). There is a non-zero chance they'll lose access to apps they like / need to keep in touch with friends if they stick to their principles and avoid all sideload-only apps.
I think the part that terrifies "bleeding heart liberals" is the abject poverty, brutally oppressive quasi-militaristic (I say quasi given its profound ineptitude) regime, and mass starvation.

There's variants where the light is in a location that is hard for insects to exit. I've seen 1) fan causing airflow that's hard to "fly upstream" in 2) funnel shapes that make entry easy, but finding the exit hard. These avoid the zap aspect, and use less power (LED and maybe fan).

> But when literally nothing about your story fact checks

Well that's the thing: a lot of pieces of the story do fact-check, but for entirely different products rather than Flamin' Hot Cheetos specifically.

I reckon it's much more nuanced than "it totally happened" v. "it didn't happen". Even if he didn't invent Flamin' Hot Cheetos per se, he could very well have contributed to them hitting shelves nationwide instead of being confined to test markets, probably as a precursor to or component of his campaign around Flamin' Hot Popcorn et al. Or he could simply be getting things mixed up. Either way, it's concerning to see so many comments implying (or explying) malice on his part when the more likely explanations are both more mundane and more charitable. Hanlon's razor and all that.
I don't think it has much to do with learning reading or writing first, but more about learning letters before you progress to words, before you progress to sentences, etc.

I don't think it really matters if you start with writing or reading first, because it's basically the same skill: knowing letter shapes and knowing which sound corresponds. It's that learning really benefits from receiving the same information in different contexts. So as long as you both teach them to write and read, the order doesn't really matter.

One reason for using the cardboard letters for younger children is that the brain regions handling bodily movement are much more advanced, and thus provide more context which (as stated earlier) helps in memorization.

But I suspect the main reason for using the sandpaper letters is because it is way more interesting for the children to have something with tactile feedback, instead of just looking at a flat card.
Yes, Facebook has plenty of motive. Apple mandating that Facebook give users the ability to opt out of their tracking has made a major dent in their revenue, and Google never implemented an equivalent requirement for the Play Store.

Additionally, iOS users' attention has traditionally been worth more to advertisers than that of their Android using counterparts because they buy so much more.

By the time you can measure the difference, it's too late.
There doesn't seem to be much discussion here. The interesting thing for me is actually that this paper is a part of the larger "Readings in Databse Systems"[1], a book composed of thin chapters discussing certain "mandatory" papers that you must read, if you want to have a deeper understanding of database systems.

It has been posted a lot on HN[2], but never quite got attention.

I mean, I guess a good of framing this is yeah, it is "the education institution's side of this argument". I see it as informed by decades of shifting research on how to teach reading and attentive to the tension between "we need regulations to guard against bad teachers" and "we need to give teachers the freedom to apply their expertise". Most of the rest of your argument is just not realizing that those are the actual names of things (e.g. there's actually a thing called "the simple view of literacy").

And to zoom out a little, a big part of educational quality is "do good people want to teach". A heavily prescribed curriculum is one more barrier to retaining good, motivated teachers. I'm not saying phonics shouldn't be taught, and I'm not saying teachers should have the freedom to not teach it. I am saying that all the teachers I know have kids where phonics didn't work (either the kid wasn't getting it, or the kid already knew it and drilling it into them killed their passion for reading, but hey standardized testing), and that's the kind of thing that makes good people quit: you know something is counterproductive, but your boss/the man makes you do it anyway, and in this case you fail a kid.

The problem is complex, which is why my 2nd bullet point was "Sold a Story omits basically any nuance for shock facts". Another way of saying this is "school isn't a restaurant where you pull up and order an education from an unskilled worker". I get that it's high stakes and people have super bad experiences with educators (I have, for sure), but we need to appreciate the nuance here.
People are different. Phonics helped my sister. I had no use for them. We both know how to read.
Google's model is the only viable one long term. With growing amount of information, the only way to find you something useful without making you enter a growing amount of terms is to maintain a context of what you are interested in.

People are acting like Bing has created some big market success and Samsung is running to them because the tech is better. But the alternative explanation is simple: vendors are always looking for reasons to (threaten to) put mediocre non-Google search as default on their products, so they can extract more money from search engine providers. Samsung sees the current hype around Bing/Google/AI as a convenient negotiating point, since the media will portray this as “Samsung switches to awesome AI search” rather than “Samsung forces its users to use crummy Bing.”
Yes, but I doubt it changed that much. It did work better for me than gcc on AIX. But I expect the admins messed up gcc when the installed it.

That is definitely an opinion you can have. But it doesn't seem like there's any realistic chance of this happening in the United States.
Exactly my problem, I thought I had found a decent topic-focused instance, and then the local feed was dominated by one guy being pretty much who I didn't use twitter because of. I can block him, of course, but I'd rather we be able to talk about the techy stuff I signed up for.

In my experience, the threshold to be useful is much lower than GPT-3.5. These smaller models can "easily" be finetuned to achieve a comparable performance on a specific task. For example, I've achieved promising results for data summarisiation and image captioning (BLIP2-based) using Alpaca.

Also, server/hardware costs are still a limiting factor for running and finetuning the larger 33/65B Llama models. Especially, if they can only be used for personal toy projects.

That's irrelevant when you're never going to read the source code. It's like saying that you can trust a chinese chemical plant to make good chicken because if you pay for a flight over there they'll let you read their recipe. Unless somebody actually puts that effort in to check that out and conduct a huge factory-wide audit in their own time for free then you are getting zero benefit from that.
Hmm. Was I off by an order of magnitude? I took 1gib per hour which feels like a reasonable level of quality. 8760 hours per year is 8TiB per year, no? For 17 PiB you’d be using 1TiB per hour which is very very off (uncompressed video?). Is my math off somehow?
Tl;dr - there is nothing really special in Proxmox that lets run and manage 13000 containers. Author created 10 vms on Proxmox host and ran docker on them. You don’t really need Proxmox for what described.

When I first saw Proxmox I also wanted to see if I could use it to manage docker containers, but it doesn’t support it directly. For working with containers you need other tools, eg Kubernetes.

Apple (and Google) blocks all sorts of apps from their stores that even though legal in nature are not allowed for some arbitrary reason that helps their bottomline. E.g. things like gambling, crypto, adult etc are all blocked. On Android you have the choice to side load them on iOS you can't. For this reason alone allowing sideloading will be a generally good thing.

For the average user there will be zero impact and for the power users who wants to still to Apple's guidelines no one is forcing them to install anything they don't want to. If its any similar to Android it will take quite a few clicks to allow the installation which deters the average user from installing unwanted stuff.
There is also a substack: https://systemsapproach.substack.com/

This weeks post covers the same thing as this post - how easy/difficult is it to actually set up a private 5G network compared to a similar WiFi deployment.
They're got going to have such mainstream apps only available by sideloading. Not enough people do it. See how few people actually use this on Android. It's way too complex and scary for Joe Soap and Facebook won't want to lose all of them.

The only big player I can imagine doing this is TikTok if they really get banned, they'll still lose a ton of users though.

It's a great thing for the ecosystem because at least those who want to sideload can do it.
