To what end? I think avoiding manual memory management is great, but I never had issues in Rust either, since I don't manage memory manually there either. I think that is kind of a point of Rust, as it avoids that whole class of bugs common in C programs.

But to what end do you want garbage collection (GC)? Just for having GC? Or a more specific purpose, that is difficult to attain with Rust's model?

For example: I usually want tail call optimization in languages I use. But not for it in itself, but for being able to write functions nicely, not having to worry about recursion depth, expressing things more declaratively, avoiding mutation (at least of an explicitly managed stack or any loop variable) and probably other things that don't come to mind right now.

I respectfully disagree and since you mentioned Johnny Depp I think he is a perfect example to support my point of view. The trial gave us a unique view into the life of mega famous people like him. Johnny Depp is rich enough to surround himself with friends and loyal people. He is rich enough to own sufficient real estate to have his entourage always near him. He can afford to have a social life in his microcosmos without ever dealing with the outside world.

Maybe this is not as good a life as all of us nobodies can have but I'm convinced it's a million times better than that of B-list celebrities who can neither have a social life in the real world nor afford to build their own world.

A printer on a LAN will often find a way out to the internet. Sure, you can firewall it if you think to do that. Another way to auto-update firmware is that the printer driver on your computer fetches the upgrade (your PC can certainly get to the internet) and then installs it on the printer.
No, but these prices track for an ultra-high-end product given what I saw of the hardware industry years ago.

For example, volume cost of a basic PCB is in the region of 1 cent per square cm, but a $40 PCB in volume can easily come from many layers and a weird stackup (not to mention that this may be up to about 100 sq cm).
From talking to a handful of people it is usually to fulfill someone else's expectations. If the goals aren't aligned ethics don't matter, the student doesn't want to be in that school anyway.

You are overindexing on the word "hopelessness", which isn't even defined.

Are you claiming that a lot of people are attracted to their death more than repulsed from their life, or (as DFW wrote) that they recognize death as the best option?

Outside of a religious death cult with ideas of heaven, I don't see people with painless lives attracted to death.
Some of my teachers regressed me. Some of my teachers SAVED me.
In particular, at a formative age (and when we only had one teacher for all subjects):

- 8 year old: I still feel very uncomfortable (and really quite sad), when I think of my classroom experience. Horrible. I regressed and was getting Ds and Es. The teacher was dismissive and belittling. I stagnated socially.

- 9 year old: Average teacher / no particular change.

- 10 year old: Incredible teacher that brought me from D/E to A/B, but more importantly brought me out of my shell.

Perhaps others in my 8YO class had different experiences, but regardless - I can't reconcile your statement "there's very little evidence that teachers matter at all" to my experience.

Perhaps you're meaning 'in terms of skill level', and perhaps increased wages wouldn't correlate to 'better' teachers as I am defining 'better'. But 'they aren't individually important and almost anybody can do it' doesn't strike me as true at all.

Edit: Also, I was having.... a bad time, at home and outside of it (No shade on my parents). I am so thankful of my 10YO teacher. They were the only person able to see it and in a position to help, and help they did (as much as could be done).

"Dandelions are an incredible gift from nature" is not an argument.

Other edible plants I listed, but that does not make them gifts, their edibility is incidental.

You noticeably failed to address my point that nature's 'gift' includes an unpleasant process of killing and carnivory which I assume is pretty bloody unpleasant to the subjects of a hunt, given that they don't run towards the predators.

> Upthread, both you and your parent commenter made the latter kind

He made no such argument, just described nature in anthromorphic terms

> Either one can make a rigorous argument, XOR one can make an informal one.

That's a misunderstanding based on the assumption that there is a clear dividing point between formal and informal. If you had any background in mathematics you would know this is not true. There is no absolute definition of formality, it comes in degrees.

> Ergo, their argument is as valid or invalid as yours

Assuming you're claiming that we're both using informal arguments, this is mistaken as well because informal arguments can have degrees of evidential backing; some informal arguments are stronger than others.

On the whole I get the impression you just want to score points here rather than learn anything or actually help anybody. Shall we not continue?
No. To teach in a school in Australia you would normally need a degree plus some educational qualification, typically a postgraduate Diploma of Education. The absolute fastest time to obtain this normal level of education is four calendar years. This is not "walk in" job. It's a professional career with a significant formal training requirement.

This is an irrational comparison. You are comparing an expensive brand phone to a cheap no name Android phone. If anything, you should compare the iPhone SE to a device by Samsung or similar which costs as much as the iPhone SE. I highly doubt you would get any malware there.

The article also mentions that the problem is not with Android, but with some unknown phone brands.
It could never get on with those, as it’s exactly the kind of micro-movement I have trouble with.

This article is just referring to just one building. But it does have a point and may be showing a trend to something like "the free market works".

Until cities solve the rent crisis, I believe this will happen more and more. I think the only way to solve that is to build and build, but NIMBY people and Companies who love high rent prices seem to do all they can to stop the building of Apartments.

But, in SF case, it may be a good thing. Having a city like that in a severe earthquake zone is rather foolish. I can hope people wake up and move to more environmentally stable areas of the US. By that I mean places with low risk of earthquakes, flooding and droughts. They do exist, but no one wants to live in those areas.

Purely guessing the 75% is a little dramatic. Basing it on pre-pandemic level to an action off price. So that could be a 30% up from trend "norm" compare to current much lowered market price while auctioning at 20% discount.

Taiwanese mostly use BoPoMoFo input schemes, btw. The thing about "forgetting the characters" is recognition vs. production. Those are different skills supported by different parts of the brain, and if you only practice one then the other atrophies. Most people these days only write Chinese on a keyboard, so the computer does the work of transforming the phonetic input (BoPoMoFo in the case of Taiwan) into the correct character, saving the typist the trouble. Someone who forgot how to write a character will have no trouble entering it into an IME and selecting the right option. They'll know it when they see it.

If anything this just reinforces my original point: people consume written text more than they produce it, so we should optimize for that.

What is this based on? Tokyo, Jakarta, Manila and Los Angeles are more or similarly seismically active as San Francisco [1].

Because they’re fundamentally less productive. Natural harbours, fertile soil, striking vistas—each is related to geography, geology and economic potential. Landlocked, sterile, featureless terrain is less productive, less appealing and less valuable than natural port near volcanic soil and new mountains.

That applies to Python 2.7 and the code that Tim Peters writes. It does not apply to current Python and the coding styles that most people employ.

Current coding styles are either:

- Java-like ravioli, with class hierarchies that no one understands.

- Academic functional and iterator spaghetti, written by academics who think Python offers the same guarantees as Haskell.

Both styles result in severely broken code bases.

Can somebody explain to me how watering down tests, to lower the competence bar, could possibly address differences in group outcomes? Obviously these different groups don't have different levels or distributions of competence, so how is one meant to relate to the other?

> On top of all that, an American Civil Liberties Union representative provided conference attendees with a lecture on criminal-justice reform in which he argued that states should minimize or overlook would-be lawyers’ convictions for various criminal offenses in deciding whether to admit them to the bar.

This part I get. Cops are biased and arrest some groups at a higher rate than others. A prior criminal conviction for smoking dope shouldn't have any bearing on the quality of a lawyer, when the competition also smoked dope and simply didn't get caught. This all makes sense. But watering down the tests? What the hell...

I went to what I assume was a fairly typical U.S. public school (if maybe a little smaller than average) and, sure, I had some teachers I liked better than others, but I don't think any of them made any difference. (And remember, the argument here isn't that the player on the field never caught a popup; it's that they didn't do it any better than any other random person could have.)

In fact, since my town was pretty small, I actually started kindergarten with a lot of the same people I graduated high school with, so I knew these people across their entire primary and secondary educational experiences.

The comment is talking about installation of adware, which you can install on any Android device, including the flagships.

The Apple App Store does have shady apps (see for example the recent ChatGPT clones) but the problem there is much less severe. Whether it stays that way with alternative app stores proposed in the EU is an interesting prospect, and a separate question though.
Apps can't just install other apps. You need system level permissions for something like that to happen.

It's possible malware somehow found its way to the phone, but the more likely scenario is that the phone was infected out of the factory.

The bottom of the barrel Android phones (no name brands, often phones <$200) feature system level adware that downloads and installs more crap as time goes on. It's one of the reasons these phones can be sold for that cheap.

I have to wonder what brand phone you got him. I've never seen this happen on brand phones, it's always the AliExpress/Amazon crap that's full of ads in seconds. Spend the same amount of money you'd spend on an iPhone SE and I highly doubt you'll get the same result.
With a human, if you have an employee, you can instruct them to correct an error, and if they refuse to or just don’t, you can fire them—you have recourse.

LLMs are complex like humans, but you lack the ability to make it do what you want, or to have recourse. If the model has gained the impression that Paris is the capital of Germany (a more concrete and fixable error than most, frankly), this is woven into its parameters throughout, and it’s really hard to fix, and for LLMs we basically have no idea how to actually truly do so. With such a simple error as “Paris is the capital of Germany”, we do know how to fine-tune the model to fairly effectively mask that error, but the important errors are often closer to what you might consider procedural than factual—rather than its “memory” containing a wrong fact, it’s “thinking” in the wrong way.

But all up, I’d call “lack of recourse” the most important difference.

Uniform Bar Exam should be capitalized, as it is a product of NCBE, a wealthy private non-profit with over $120 million in reserves. Any organization that could fight that headwind and build credibility with the state supreme courts could create a bar exam too. Anyone seriously interested in doing so (VC?), let’s talk.

NCBE is, as part of this project, also jettisoning the existing software providers and procedures for taking a bar exam. Yes, 3/4 of them have had high profile flameouts, but overall the laptop bar exam has been a quiet success for 20+ years. All those details will be lost.
