I'm a heavy advocate of homeschooling and did that with my kids for a while before personal circumstances made it impractical for me. I used the book "The Well trained mind" as a general curriculum guide and bought books which it recommended. The one it pushed for teaching reading was https://welltrainedmind.com/p/the-ordinary-parents-guide-to-...

I used this for my first two kids and am currently using it for my third. They pick up reading proficiency in a few months and you need to consistently spend about 20-30 minutes a day. The bonding that comes with your kids is an added bonus. After that, you establish a reading culture at home, blanket ban on electronic "entertainment" for the early years and they become good readers very quickly.

I lived in a bit of a bubble and when I met my kids' friends when they went to school, it was painful to see how crippled they were with basics skills and also tragic to see my own kids regress to the average in these skills.

The upshot of all this is that basic liberal education is not that hard to do for ones own kids and it gives them a lifelong advantage. I highly recommend it.

In all seriousness, people really seem to gloss over the “in the long run” part of that hypothesis.
By proxy, in part. But my understanding is that they took away anything that was unverified, meaning a lot of amateur or reuploaded stuff probably disappeared, not necessarily just what was exploitative.
Of course but that's not GP's point I think. A kid shall wonder why it's not at the very least "oiso" (when there's one) or "oisos" (when there are several). Or even why not "waso" (with "wa" as in "wapiti").

And anyway we all know that there's only one way to write "Mister oiseau" in french and it's "Mr Oizo" (french electro btw):

Actually the stakeholders are the investment firms implementing ESG programs. What you're referring to is a different kind of capitalism from what we currently have. I think it was in the late 19th century that someone first figured out that you can give out a newspaper for free and make tons of money by selling ad placements and creating eye-catching headlines. That's the current model of capitalism, where the "customer" is not a stakeholder at all but is instead the product. Investors are the real stakeholders.

As for the YouTube videos being suspect, half of the content is direct quoting from Maoist literature, and I think a discerning intelligent person can figure it out for themselves.

> Some things I have read suggest the civil war didn't start per se over slavery.

What you've read seems to include a lot of Lost Cause lies. Slavery is clearly mentioned in most of the Ordinance of Secession [1] as a fundamental cause, including and especially the first one ratified (by South Carolina [2]).

The decision of the Union to emancipate slaves did come later in the war, but it was what most of the Ordinance of Secession already feared was a likely outcome prior to the war even starting and became a bit of a self-fulfilled prophecy.

You don't have to take my word for it, but it is incredibly well documented by the Southern states themselves how much the Southern states seceded primarily because of slavery. Most of the other "takes" on the war are lies after the fact trying to bury the facts. It's not an argument of opinions, it's a fight between known historic facts versus centuries of later propaganda and subterfuge.

I haven't used Llama for anything other than playing around to test its capabilities, so I feel fairly comfortable admitting publicly that when I did that testing, I did not download it from Facebook using an official portal, and I didn't sign any agreement about it.

On that subject, to the best of my knowledge, I also haven't signed any kind of agreement with OpenAI. I've done all of my GPT testing through 3rd-party services or portals that don't require signing EULAs to use.
The original promise of the cloud was that it was cheaper than on prem. For many companies this has turned out not to be the case. Having worked on a cost optimization product for the past year (https://vantage.sh) my belief is that the cloud _is_ cheaper than on prem but it is difficult to configure it to be so.

In particular it is difficult and stressful to understand all the knobs to turn within each cloud provider. It's a very AWS thing to put a lot of effort into lowering their customers' bills and I do think it makes for longer lasting business relationships.

What algorithms specifically show the most results upon improvement? Going into this I thought the jump of improvements were really related more advanced automated tuning and result correction, in which it could be done at scale as it were allowing a small team of data scientists to tweak the models until desired results were being achieved.

Are you saying instead, that concrete predictive algorithms need improvement or are we lumping the tuning into this?

At what point is preventing evaporation a bad thing? I realize that we have already done quite a bit to change when and where water evaporates, but doesn’t moving where, if ever, the water evaporates affect the local water cycle?

water underneath the panels will still evaporate to an extent, and cool the panels compared to panels above dry earth.

The panels will shade the water and reduce evaporation compared to unshaded water.
It's not disjoint, it's on the same spectrum. USG had pretty serious liquidation programs of their own during that era, from Japanese internment to COINTELPRO and all the deaths that resulted. And in 2023, far beyond ESG and DEI, we are looking at rising Red & Yellow Scare 2.0. (the persecution of Gang Chen for instance).

The Play Store reviews promises more than a rubber stamp. It's okay to see it as such, but you said above the Play Store doesn't even pretend; If that were the case there would be no review process.

Google will this year address some of the data leaks that are still possible by limiting what apps can do. They introduced the limitations before, now apps will be forced to use the newer API targets that enable them. And that is done via the limitations the Play Store applies to apps (rule based + reviews) and the changed to Android's permission system.

All of that can be criticized in detail, but that they are doing nothing and not even try to project the image that they protect users is just wrong.

> I believe the intention was more "Don't pressure your kids and stress yourself trying to get them to read before even starting school".

Yeah, I think this is actually the right approach. A lot of children will learn reading without specific training if you read picture books with them in your lap and they're looking at the pictures and the letters. If they do, that's great; if they don't, that's fine too. Structured reading practice and development can happen later.
I always thought it would be cool wire parts of your home using PoE (power over ethernet) if you had some solar panels and a battery bank.
Yeah, solar panels have become really cheap. I am looking into covering a flat roof with solar. The support structure (nothing super fancy) will probably turn out to be more expensive than the panels themselves.
True. Our inflation rates are not that far off though. We tend to be attached at the hip for many things, and Canada tends to follow US trends. The point being, there are savings accounts out there better than 1%, if you look for them.

I expect almost everyone who tries to rebel and go "on prem" will flame out and come running back to the cloud

Ops talent has really dumbed down over the last decade or so (sorry no polite way to say it). Long gone are the days when the ops engineers were talented devs who just liked hanging out at datacenters. Nowadays most of them are just button pushers who are good for standing up SaaS stacks or other simple tasks, but I'd never ask any I've dealt with in the last ten years to build out a datacenter presence from nothing. Most have never set foot in a datacenter. On top of that, most modern ops teams have been downsized (thanks to cloud) that they wouldn't have the hands to get the job done.

Even for good ops people, it can be very hard to capacity-plan and understand what appropriate/affordable/useful hardware is. Most ops folks today have probably never purchased servers for production deployments.

AWS will be happy to welcome these companies back after their on-prem dreams die.

> Everything I've read here points me to the fact that the public education is not good/comprehensive enough and too inflexible.

Well … yeah. It’s education at scale. Anything at scale will be inflexible by definition.

> San francisco is rich, people make a lot of money there.

And there’s a lot of funding. The median per student funding in the SF school board is something on the order of 2 or 3 times the median US funding (a quick Google shows ~$22k vs $7k) and when compared to global averages, it’s through the roof. It’s not the level of funding. It’s not even the administration and curriculum either (remember, our bar is very low - we just want kids that can read when they graduate).

The way I figure, optimizing public education is a last-mile problem. There is value in taking kids from a B to an A, or providing a more enriching educational experience. So don’t think I’m arguing against more funding and better management. But this isn’t going to solve the core issue - parental neglect (and it is neglect if a kid graduates high school illiterate). At scale, the state cannot make up for that kind of neglect. In fact, that’s a big reason why you see the divide growing - everything that is tried, just ends up marginally improving or marginally deteriorating educational experience of kids who are already doing reasonably well.

> But while impossible to eliminate, you can try to minimise it and you should.

And my argument is, we’ve largely hit the limit on this kind of optimization. Spending more, and/or changing the curriculum with the same cohort of teachers, isn’t going to give you anything better than trivial (at best) improvements.

I've worked on firmware for mass-market consumer products and one point the article doesn't raise is that firmware often supports company intellectual property such as specialized hardware, ASICs and other custom circuitry. I'm all for separating out the upper levels and allowing users or enthusiasts to add their code. However, the explosion of cool gadgets in our pockets didn't happen because of tinkerers, it happened because massive piles of money could be made. Let's not disincentivize hardware development that requires billions of dollars in up-front investments.
> When I can no longer use old.reddit I will stop giving them the little usage time I still spend there.

This is definitely just a matter of time, they're slowly moving there by killing off things like `i.`. They'll lose a bunch of "us", but overall it's probably not going to affect their bottom line. Some specific high-quality discussion subreddits dying out means nothing if there are dozens of multi-million user subreddits with generic memes or TikTok-reposts.
I don't know enough to suggest what form it should take. But taking a broader view of 'job', I'd say expose them to possible career paths. Then, make clear the mapping between the broad job areas and the needed skills. This may at least provide motivation and context for the regular subjects. The down side is that folks don't know what they like until college and often much after that. So I also feel some reservation about this approach. All in all, my feeble understanding of this subject does not really allow me to take an informed position.
Having worked half my career at places with their own data centers and self ran infra, and the other half with mostly cloud based solutions, I have a theory.

Perhaps we are designing far more complicated solutions now to leverage these cloud services, whereas having the constraints of a self operated data center and infrastructure necessitates more ingenuity to achieve similar results.

We used to do so much more with just a few pieces of infrastructure, like our RDBMS's, as one example. It was amazing to me how many scenarios we solved with just a couple of solid vertically scaled database servers with active-active failovers, Redis, an on-prem load balancer, and some webservers (later, self hosted containerization software). We used to design for as few infrastructure pieces as possible, now it seems like that is rarely a constraint people have in their minds anymore.
Am not money conscious in that regard. Own a full suite of Apple products and have no issue paying the premium for them.

The issue is with the intentional misleading of people to think their device is slowing down when they just need a battery replacement. At Apple’s scale it’s significant and dishonest towards its customers.
It has nothing to do with science or even power generation. This is about regulatory compliance. They put them over canals because a canal is not private land. Either they are owned by government or the government has easements for their maintenance and improvement. Canals are also readily accessible for light construction, most all of them having a dirt road alongside. The same principals apply to roads. Governments face all sorts of issues acquiring and building upon new land. But placing something beside, on top, or even within the road surface can normally be done without new permits let along environmental impact statements.
> Reasonable to assume that in 1-2 years it will also come down in cost.

Definitely. I'm guessing they used something like quantization to optimize the vram usage to 4bit. The thing is that if you can't fit the weights in memory then you have to chunk it and that's slow = more gpu time = more cost. And even if you can fit it in GPU memory, less memory = less gpus needed.

But we know you _can_ use less parameters, and that the training data + RLHF makes a massive difference in quality. And the model size linearly relates to the VRAM requirements/cost.

So if you can get a 60B model to run at 175B's quality, then you've almost 1/3rd your memory requirements, and can now run (with 4bit quantization) on a single A100 80GB which is 1/8th the previously known 8x A100's that GPT-3.5 ran on (and still half GPT-3.5+4bit).

Also while openai likely doesn't want this - we really want these models to run on our devices, and LLaMa+finetuning has shown promising improvements (not their just yet) at 7B size which can run on consumer devices.

Local water cycles are already affected though. This is water that has been released from reservoirs and aquifers. Covering the canals with solar panels isn't like covering a natural river and interrupting it's water cycle. It could mean we have less need to use the reservoirs and aquifers... moving the local water cycle to a more natural state.

I suspect that many teachers also (1) don't want to feel like parents can just casually do their job pretty well, like their years of education and certification aren't necessary, and / or (2) deal with an above-average number of parents who think their kids are above-average, so develop some skepticism over time. We just sent our kids to school knowing how to read without telling anyone and let their teachers tell us how well they're doing.
