I can't speak to the alternatives, but I can confirm that Singapore math is how I learned and it worked really well. Was lucky enough to be homeschooled and my parents did the research to know about it, get the books, and give them to me. Kumquats and mangoes will forever be associated in my mind with elementary math word problems.

>this nativism/anti-immigrant trend will disappear when we actually start falling behind China but that's not for several years.

Can you explain the relationship between anti-immigration and manufacturing success? As the sibling comments says, the USA has far more immigration than, well, anywhere in the world.
It’s really up to China and, increasingly, India at this point. The Western countries are not emitting much anymore so the impact here is limited.
Had not considered that possibility, perhaps because I don't remember a traveler to that period, thinking only of plague era.
Around the same era, there were giant horsetails too -- up to 30m tall!

They certainly have that in spades. Unfortunately they also seem to be "stuck" in the old fashioned 60-90 minute per episode korean time slot, which isn't super great for western audiences (I can only take so many 3-minute long slapstick filler interludes in a single episode). Hopefully this investment includes some encouragement to make more streamlined shows.
IIRC Graeber put some observations about this effect in Bullshit Jobs, especially as it relates to creatively or ethically fulfilling jobs with some decent social status attached to them. Media, non-profit careers, that kind of thing.

No. Section 9 literally uses the word “tax”, and states that a "tax or duty" may be imposed, drawing an explicit distinction between "tax" and "duty" and thereby directly addressing potential misunderstandings such as yours. Section 9 VERY explicitly and VERY carefully allows for a property tax which is not a duty. Why would the framers include this clause, as written, if they believed it unconstitutional for Congress to enact property taxes? At the very least you would expect an exceptional clause if that were the case. This strains credulity, to put it mildly.

State property taxes existed in the US for 100 years before and also during the constitutional convention. It strains credulity to claim that the framers intended for state property taxes to be unconstitutional while also not enumerating this fact and even specifically enumerating limits on taxation of certain types of property.

Furthermore, the legislative and executive actions of constitutional convention members, within their respective commonwealths and states, clearly demonstrate that the framers did not intend to prohibit taxation of property particularly by non-federal governments (or even by the federal government, for that matter, as long as funds were equally distributed). Again, it strains credulity to claim that a framer would write a constitution intended to prevent states from taxing property, and then go serve in a state legislative assembly or executive that approved taxation based on the value of estates or properties.

And we haven't even made it to the 9th amendment.

Again: I'm much more willing to accept that Marbury v Madison was a mistaken interpretation of the constitution than I am to accept the US constitution can be somehow interpreted to disallow state property taxes. To be blunt, if SCOTUS tried to do something this blatantly ridiculous and made-up, most state governments and courts would simply ignore the ruling.

dmattia noted the most important one. It’s a low probability situation but it does occur, and in some cases people reasonably object to installing an app because of a work requirement.

I also strongly prefer multiple notification channels making noise on my phone at night. A page usually wakes me up. A page plus a phone ringing always does, so far.
Great questions. I'm busy right now, but I promise to go through the article in the next few days and respond. I'm open to having my mind changed, though I must admit I started feeling better when I started following Ray Peat's advice. I wonder if it could be that different people respond differently to different diets. Have you tried sharing your article on raypeatforum? You say that he's a "quack", but I've never seen him arguing in bad faith and people there are usually friendly and try to be objective and open to new ideas.
That's because application and research are quite different. If one does a PhD in ML they learn how to research ML. Someone with a PhD in chemistry learns how to research chemistry, they only need to apply ML to that research
> To be honest other than the Yubico demo website, I've never come across a resource in the wild that uses Yubikey OTP mode login anyway. :)

A company I worked at years ago used Pritunl as its VPN (which uses OpenVPN under the hood), with Yubico OTP configured.

It was a good-enough UX, and the user enrollment procedure downloads a certificate for connecting to OpenVPN which only works for one user, so when people inevitably spammed their Yubico OTPs into Slack, you couldn't use those to log in to the VPN as them since you wouldn't have their certificate.

A keylogger would probably be able to access the certificate. To get around that you'd need to do something completely out of band like acknowledge a push notification on an authenticator app on the user's phone.
woke? You mean treating all types of people with respect?
In the late 70s to early 80s that wasn't an obviously wrong idea, especially because in the posts above, as I understand it, when they say hardware it mostly means microcode, which is more software than hardware. At that moment many architectures like the iAPX432, Lisp machines, Xerox machines, the VAX, etc. were microcoded.

I wrote it as a general article on python dictionaries.

>>Regarding Compare your "but it can also cause some slots to be skipped or repeated"
- I think its correct - Let me try to explain this means that some slots may never be probed or may be probed more than once, which wastes time and space. For example, if the array size is 8 and the original index is 3, then quadratic probing will try the following indexes: 3, 4, 7, 4 (repeated), 3 (repeated), 4 (repeated), and so on. As you can see, indexes 0, 1, 2, 5, and 6 are never probed.

And yes you are correct - Python does not use the MurmurHash3 algorithm for hashing objects in dictionaries. My bad I mixed up two different things and though it uses this mmh3 for hashing. I have updated it now and made it more like my understanding of python dictionaries.

Thanks, for your review and pointers to fix it. Will keep it in my mind to get it reviewed before publishing any article.
My concern is that while re-implementing sudo in rust would solve bugs due to memory safety and off by one errors, it is a complex piece of software where logic errors can create serious security issues.

That's a great xkcd, but there are 2 upsides to this arrogant approach.
First, arrogance is a nerd-snipe maximizer.
Second, there is a small chance you're absolutely right, and you've just obviated a whole field from first principles. It doesn't happen often, but when it does happen and there is no clout like "emporer's new clothes" clout.

EDIT: The downside, of course, is that you appear arrogant, and people won't like you. This can hurt your reputation because it is apparently anti-social behavior on several levels. I think its fair to call it a little bit of an intellectual punk rock move that is probably better left to the young. It's an interesting emotional anchor to mapping a new field, though.
I would love to see some data about what you speak of, but a raw ActivityPub activity is maybe 1K in size. Propagating 1K sized payloads from 10K people (let's say that gives us about 10 per second) should not be that big of a deal in the age of streaming. I think unofficial censuses would put the total instance number at around 25000, so that's about the maximum number of outgoing messages a server would send.

25000(instances) * 10(messages/second) * 1000(bytes) = 256000000 bytes/s = 256MB/s of outgoing traffic

Where Mastodon really gets it wrong is with the incessant caching of media that every instance does, and which is what maybe you are inadvertently thinking of.

Changing Cities: A reflection on the change of use in space across our cities
Agreed. I have found it very helpful to not think about how "healthy" something is. Rather think about how the body will use that food as fuel. Andy Galpin has a good video going through the physiology of how the body processes carbohydrates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdMOsnILT00
Once I had an understanding of how macro nutrients are processed in the body and how they are used as fuel I could better match meals to intended outcomes.
Netflix has been enforcing concurrent streams for a while now, no?

Four adults that live in four different houses sharing one Netflix account might not ever bump up against the four concurrent stream limit. Their concurrent usage might be quite similar to a family of four under one roof.

But critically, the four adults are all technically capable of paying for their own subscriptions, while the children of the family of four are not.

Netflix is expecting to lose some (or most) of the people who are sharing passwords, but if some nonzero portion of them end up coughing up money for their own subscription, the effort is worthwhile.

It briefly shows one person saying that their grandma said it. There's no suggestion that any particular claim about Cleopatra's appearance is endorsed by the documentary as definitely true. In general, as I'm sure you're aware, it's misleading to say that a documentary "says X" if X isn't a claim that the documentary itself is endorsing.

> they could at least show a bust of her

Are you sure that they don't? This is just the trailer.

Perhaps they could use this racially ambiguous 1862 depiction of Cleopatra by William Wetmore Story: https://smarthistory.org/seeing-america-2/william-wetmore-st... (The 1860s were, of course, a notoriously 'woke' period of American history.)
Hi Chuck, I was the System / Proj manager on this. I had always wondered why folks didn't just simulate the whole thing in software; then I realized, although doing it with Ettus Research SDRs + moby networking + hella big Dell box to coordinate it all was necessary because --- the digital went out to the SDR, and out of the SDR came RF *at the frequencies of interest*. Although all of it was cabled RF (using cables I spec'd and acquired), it could have just as easily been put to antennas and run 'over the air'. (except of course that environment is harder to completely control).

The artificial interferers were able to be consistent across the entire test. The successful entries had no coordination, and still maintained spectacular bps throughput.

This work was done several years ago now, so I don't know if the winning algorithms are now deployed in an 'real' on-the-air system.

This was a very technically challenging project, pretty much at the limit at what could be done at that time. But it worked!

See https://youtu.be/FYmCVDhyxMM and https://youtu.be/inF6ppH8zGA
The problem is largely cultural instead of political. It just isn't "cool" in American culture to be good at school. How do you fix that?

Or I could believe it because I've been on Twitter since 2008 and I see him constantly making changes for the worse?

He's banned third-party clients, paywalled the API, made "verification" less than useless, destroyed the fact that Twitter is supposed to be a microblog, pushed algorithmic recommendation and made the algorithm pay-to-play.

And those are just the things I remember off the top of my head. If I saw a full list of dumb shit he's done ever since last autumn, I could probably find even more stuff that is completely destroying the service.
Redwoods also grow like this but not to the same degree. They do form "fairy rings" like mushrooms though.

Yeah, agreed. From my point of view, it's not totally the new writers fault.

It's the fault of the management chain that got rid of the old writers and also didn't tell the new ones "Look, just humour the old fogies for a while, you might learn something...".

when 4 {...}
when 5,6 {...}
otherwise {...}

Allow me to rant:

As a CFI, and lifelong aviation nutcase.. one who has been described by a few of my instructors in the past as 'morbidly' researching aviation accidents kind of obsessively (other instructors of mine realize on the contrary its a very wise past-time), this is a particular MASSIVE peeve of mine.

Just a few months ago here in Atlanta a small single engine plane made an emergency landing on I-985 (actually on an exit ramp leading off of it), around 5PM .. Anyone around here knows that interstate and exit ramp would be packed around that time of day. But somehow, thankfully, no cars were wrecked and the plane/pilot survived with just a collapsed main gear.

So what's the problem with that?

Well.. directly adjacent, and in the exact same direction of travel of the exit ramp was a wide opened, plowed, clay field that was being prepped for a building construction.

I don't know if flight simulator (how i started as a kid actually) or something else is to blame, but so many new pilots get this idea in their head of emergency landing on roads/highways .. and that is such a horrible idea with reasons that should be obvious to anyone.. regardless of being a pilot or not.

Imagine for a second your wife/gf or partner were picking up the kids or whatever and driving home on that exit ramp that day.. All of a sudden a plane comes out of nowhere and of course frightens the heck out of them.. they regain focus on the road to see the car in front has slammed on brakes for the same reason.. before they know it.. a high-speed impact has happened, with injuries or worse to the occupants (all the while the emergency landing plane glides effortlessly to a stop on the exit ramp.. leaving a wake of destruction.)

That example is just showing what can happen to everyone else, the story this is attached to is a perfect example of what can actually happen to the plane and occupants itself.

Power lines, tree limbs, cars, power poles, .. all exist around roads. If you are making an emergency landing.. look for a field first, only if everything on the ground is covered by trees and no grass/dirt/field exists to land on should you resort to landing on a road.

In the case of an airliner its the same story, even though yes they are heavier.. and there will be more landing gear "dig" into the turf/soil/grass than in a small plane.. but the fundamental reasons why you want to avoid roads are the same.. you'll just have to compensate with your angle and velocity at landing.. oh btw.. soft grass/turf do also help with absorbing some of the E from the landing.

Just some things I wanted to get off my chest, and the title of this article seemed the perfect opp to do so.
It isn't wrong to assume that strongest human are men, but I would argue it is not right to assume a professor is a man, Nobel Laureate is a man, nurse is a woman and so forth.

I don't think it is very high in the list of priorities, but I have no problem in making sure that those biases are not present in the ChatGPT output. This is not suppression of facts. The article is not talking about suppressing phrasing that right now you are more likely be a man if you have a Nobel prize, but it is talking about not assuming that you must be a man if you have a Nobel prize.
I would guess that of all people, the Finns would be up to the task.

> If you want to introduce continuous distributions like the Gaussian one, you can just say "area under the curve" if you need to connect the density to a numerical probability.

What name do you give to this "area under the curve", or the "rate of change" of this area? They are pretty fundamental concepts with important and basic properties, which affect things like local optima and minimization, and expected value and covariance, etc. I mean, you can't cover linear models and least squares without this stuff, and if you don't then I wouldn't really call it learning.

I think the main problem was debugging tensors on the fly, impossible with TF/Keras, but completely natural to PyTorch. Most researchers needed to sequentially observe what is going on in tensors (histograms etc.) and even doing backprop for their newly constructed layers by hand and that was difficult with TF.

I have used both but ended up dropping TF for PyTorch after 2018. Mainly it was the larger PyTorch ecosystem in my field (NLP) and clear API design and documentation that did it for me.

However, TF was still a valid contender and it was not clearcut back in 2016-17 which framework was better.
It may just be Mastodon which has the problem. Still, competitors should make sure to not re-create the problem.

When I see something described as a "film camera" I infer that it uses film.

This appears to be a "film-quality, cinematic camera" that does not use film.

I had to read the whole article, carefully, to be certain that the project is purely digital. It looks digital, there's no obvious place to spool film, but phrases like "film is recorded RAW at extremely high quality" really muddy the waters.

So for anybody who's wondering, this is a digital camera.
I get why people want the end of the App Store monopoly and I apprieciate the idea of being able to run anything I want on my hardware, but this here is the reason why I'm hesitant.

As a user I want the big developers to have to bend the knee to Apple. I don't want to side load my DJI app, I don't want to download Instagram from the Meta store.

I don't agree with all of Apple's rules (and also with the way the app revenue is split), but I'm mostly satisfied with them.
> the rate will pick up

Why?

> Tell us the science fiction story where the Japanese learn to love life and want even more Japanese people to exist to revel in it.

Could someone just 60 years ago easily predicted the current situation? Possibly but it would have been a contrarian opinion.

What about 100 years ago? 150? 200? Almost impossible.

See the pattern?

> Their culture isn't nearly malleable enough for anything significant to change.

Right.. I'm sure there were people who were saying this in the 1860s or 1940s. Turns out the Japanese society was one of the most malleable ones that ever existed. Of course there is no guarantee that might happen again. Who knows... I'm not the one pretending I know everything.

To me that comment reads as though genetic predisposition has little to nothing to do with it. It's all about nurture; nurturing curiosity, encouraging academic achievement and hard thought. These are in no way genetic traits or predispositions, so please leave the eugenics out of it.
I'd argue that's exactly the world we already live in and mostly by design.

Another comment mentioned that science was a hobby for the aristocracy and I agree. Because of the big wealth inequality it seems to remain so as shown by the study.

Not sure how we can fix any of that within the current landscape though. It really seems to me like it's only really doable with huge systemic changes that will take many revolutions to happen.
Seems to be quite evil though.
A lot of people, especially on hacker news, feel disdain for researchers of ethics, bias and fairness, as they are perceived as both holding technology back and profiting from advances in it (that they can then analyse and criticize).
