The same learning rate conclusion is not congruent with reality where anyone can observe that some (smart) peoples learn extremely fast and other ways more slowly. That is apparent in math, language and practically in any subjects or fields.

That can have many reasons. But one strikes to me that the authors could not control the variation in the students population. Obviously, the authors assumed the big number of observations would provide enough variations, but that can be a fallacy. Online learning course can be quite homogenous because they are mostly of choice. People chose them after initial assessment and arguably they will not do so if the course material is too easy or too difficult for them.

Another variable the authors could not control is the drop out phenomenon. During an online course, many students will drop out, even half of the initial numbers and that’s a known phenomenon. That can have many reasons as well, for example if they couldn’t keep up with the course or if the course is too easy and could not provide enough value in learning for them. In both cases, the drop out will make the population even more homogeneous.

It strikes as odd to me that when encountered with an obvious contradiction to long-held believes (and even common senses), the authors didn’t try to re-examination their assumptions or tried to control the variables (what every researcher should do) but quickly come to a controversial conclusion. From there to extrapolate to the whole mankind and claim every body learns at the same rate, SO the difference in learning outcome MUST BE differences in learning opportunities is not only wrong, it also fraught with ideological agenda, which is the latest thing one should find in a respectable researcher.
I wish you could! They’re impossible to find.
If you have to do this in software, Goldschmidt's algorithm parallelizes a lot better than Newton-Raphson, but isn't always general-purpose (IIRC). It uses a multiplicative update rule instead of an addition like NR. Division, square root, and inverse square root all use that algorithm under the hood (at least in AMD and IBM processors).
Kind of weird that car collectors in the US can't collect modern foreign cars, though. Why not instead just have "accredited collectors" like there are "accredited investors"? Wouldn't that be simpler? "Get the piece of paper waiving your right to car safety, and then you can buy whatever stupid cars you like, as long as you don't drive them very often."

Actually, I mostly agree with you, except I disagree that consciousness is something only biological things posses so that any idea around it being a key part of AI would be an anthropocentrism.

I believe instead consciousness is the method of achieving this self design and self improvement that you have mentioned will be the basis of the technological singularity.

Parse biosciences and companies have developed methods to perform TCR sequencing without the microfluidics and it will be interesting to see how well it performs. These methods are all based on permeabilizing the cell and keeping it intact instead of encapsulating the in a droplet and then lysing it.
I sympathize with you as a lifelong Californian (grew up in Sacramento, educated in San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz, working in Silicon Valley). I love the desirable coastal parts of California (basically anything from Sonoma County all the way down to San Diego). If money weren't an object, I'd own a home in either Aptos or Pacific Grove. I currently rent in Capitola, and it's the best place I've lived in California. I love the tranquility of the town while having somewhat easy access to Silicon Valley and its amenities and opportunities. However, I simply don't make enough money to purchase a home near the coast unless I move to Humboldt or Del Norte counties, which are far from any urban centers.

Unfortunately with the exception of Sacramento (which is getting pricey as of late) California doesn't have a lot of middle ground between its really desirable yet expensive places and places that are affordable but less desirable. The Sacramento area seems like a reasonable compromise for me. I can comfortably afford Fresno's and Bakersfield's nicest suburbs, but I don't know if I'd be happy in those cities. Much of the rest of the state is quite isolated from major metro areas; this has implications regarding educational opportunities for children and health care quality and availability. I don't see myself settling down and raising a family in many of California's more isolated areas due to this, though it may be a nice adventure visiting these isolated areas for recreation.

I don't know what I'm going to end up doing....maybe I'll end up marrying a woman from Vermont and end up moving there in a few years XD. But I completely sympathize with you and the crazy housing market we're contending with.

There is copying for personal or academic use and then there is copying for commercial purposes. What if the later is done without permission from the copyright owner. The incessant promotion of so-called "AI" sure seems commercial in nature. "Tech" companies rarely spam us so incessantly without some desperate scheme to make money, for example data collection about computer users, persistent surveillance and annoying, inefficient online advertising.

The brazilian Ford Courier model was an amazing pickup. Its 1.6 engine was a beast for the weight (~1000kg if I remember correctly, you’d lose traction on launch very easily).

The vast majority of large truck owners definitely do. 1300 pounds is nothing, and your ignorance is telling.

Most people doing real work with trucks are hauling heavy duty construction trailers, or otherwise, but even if you wanted to move furniture you'd quickly exceed 1300 pounds.

Wow, if anyone from Fully Parsed is around, you need to massively fix your website. Navigation is basically impossible. There are no obvious clickable controls. Scrolling only works sometimes. In the Week 1, etc page (there’s no description of what page you’re on), there are gray words overlaid on the black text of the section heading. There’s a “Go To Dashboard” floating button that appears on occasion.

In general, this feels like a restaurant website.

Take the same content and perhaps the same visual design, get rid of all the scripting except maybe whatever makes it responsive, and make it navigable with plain old boring headers, links and stuff. Because I can basically guarantee a low conversion rate with the current site.

I can’t even tell if there is a real product or just a concept…

> If housing was not connected to fundamentals, home sale prices would have been exposed and taken a nose dive with the movement in interest rates.

But prices have fallen (and even more, volume, has fallen, whether because there are fewer buyers are because sellers are deferring because of the fall in prices). This is clear in national figures, and hot metros that at some other times have defied downward real estate trends also show it.

A core redesign of GTK2->3->4 was moving from a model built around X11/xlib to one built around Wayland. GtkStatusIcon only functioned correctly on one backend, X11. It was very poorly supported on win32 and macOS.

Other clear examples that had to happen was all rendering used to be done on the CPU with Cairo as part of the API. Cairo is very slow on high resolutions, or when doing animations, or just in general. The modern GTK is built around GPUs using OpenGL. There is a backwards compat story, in that you can use Cairo yourself still, but the API is all around modeled with modern hardware in mind. Something FLTK clearly is not and as such it cannot accomplish much of the things GTK4 can in terms of hidpi, animations, shaders, styling, zero-copy rendering, multimedia playback, etc.

Yes, if given infinite resources, one could both resdesign a library and not break API, but it is a small group with limited resources.

I genuinely think they have done an incredible job and there are many new possibilities with the toolkit now that were not previously.

If the argument truely is just "never break API" I fundamentally disagree and think most platforms that follow it are bad platforms full of legacy cruft.

tourists and travelers are hardly a uniform group.

A young single person, is different from a family with kids, which is different from a group of young people on a party trip. A young single person can often have a bag ready and depart directly from work; a family with kids may want to depart in the morning to be there super early; a group of young people hungover from last night's bender may want an afternoon flight.

Not to mention, often you are picking between an optimal departure time and an optimal arrival time. For instance, I know people who love redeye flights to fly across the continental US, but I hate them because they mess up my sleep.

The A380 is essentially a really big bet on a one-size-fits-all plane, for travel segments that rarely are.

Nothing. If you're only going to use it non-commercially on private property, there's almost nothing stopping you. You can even have an entire tank shipped in as long as it doesn't have any shells [1] or secondary guns, and you don't have to take it apart or anything.

The question is: is it street legal and can you legally get it registered to drive afterwards? Once you ask that question, tons of regulations come into play ranging from axle weight to emissions standards to safety requirements.

Carnegie called libraries "palaces for the people" and that investment in libraries across the country created Third Places for people that in some communities are the only ones left. (This is something Klinenberg explored in his book by the same name.)

The problem is one of context. When editing a programming language buffer, the editor needs to be aware of the entire buffer, because a { on the first line could match to a } on the 1235987th line and affect hilighting as well as editing commands like indentation, or sexp navigation. Meanwhile, ideally, in a log buffer the only information needed to nicely render a single line is contained on that line. Or perhaps the log unit is multiline, but still somehow boundable. In that case the editor should be able to do presentation in constant time based on the segment of the buffer that's visible.

Unfortunately, what with logging in JSON and so on, these two cases aren't really distinct anymore. But if I did want to use one editor for both log viewing and coding, I'd pick the one that was the most easily and interactively customizable.
There is both a driver's training requirement, and a driving test required. The only "Texas" angle, is that parents are allowed to teach the driver's training portion (44 hours of total behind the wheel instruction). You can cheat that, but if you follow the guidelines it is pretty typical level of instruction for most states.

Some RDBMS features, such as stored procedures and views, can quite naturally be versioned, and become as ephemeral as your application code.

For example, have your application setup a schema to contain its version-specific database components. The schema will contain an immutable application version, such as its commit hash, in its name. This allows a given version of the application to only use its own set of sprocs and views. On deploy, run the SQL scripts to create the sprocs and views for that version.

You'll note that sprocs and views are not mutated under this strategy. This allows multiple versions to exist concurrently, which facilitates things like blue-green deploys.
Ok. So are you suggesting a notion of "size" such that A is a smaller "size" than B if and only if A is extensionally equal to a proper subset of B? This would lead to a partial order on all sets. As a result, the perfect squares would smaller than the naturals, but also it would make many sets incomparable in size, including the natural numbers and the set {A}.

Or if this is not what you are suggesting, what are you suggesting?
yeah your hamstrings might not be so tight, you may have different ratios in your leg bones, who knows! lots of anatomical variation
Funny enough, after moving back to Texas from out of the country in which my Texas drivers license expired by 6 months, I was required to take both a written AND a practical driving test. Keep in mind I was nearly 40 years old and had a valid Texas license since I was 16.

Have to say this is a REALLY misleading name. "Trusted publishers" makes it seem like PyPI added (or improved) a manual curation & vetting process to its packages.

This is NOT that. This is more like "SSO for PyPI", a totally different thing.

You've added a different authentication mechanism for publishers, which is totally different from decreasing risk for end-users through a better vetting process (which is what most people would assume given the title). It's really unfortunate that the work you put into this will both 1) mislead readers into thinking it's something different and 2) be under-appreciated because they were confused.

I wonder if this is a case where the HN mods SHOULD edit the article title...?

The team that won it is also very interesting:

- Megha Rajagopalan, probably the only one that is a journalist by profession. She left for the NYT [1]

- Alison Killing, an architecture and urban planning investigator [2]

- Christo Buschek, a data and computation investigator [3]

It was such an interesting mix of disciplines and expertises, and is reflected in the award for reporting in international affairs::

For a series of clear and compelling stories that used satellite imagery and architectural expertise, as well as interviews with two dozen former prisoners, to identify a vast new infrastructure built by the Chinese government for the mass detention of Muslims. [4]
