> Why would anyone want to teach these days?

Now let me answer this question more directly. It’s actually worse than a lot of people think. There is an intense and overwhelming amount of utter bullshit that gets rolled down the hill starting with Congress, added to by state legislatures, and further reinforced by local school districts. And of course teachers are at the bottom of the hill. When you focus on that, and all the ways that the system is utterly dysfunctional, and not beneficial for students, it can be defeating.

But when you focus on your job, which is students, it’s the single most rewarding thing you can do, in my judgment. I was a lawyer for 5-6 years before getting into education. I hated every day of my life. Now I wake up excited to see my students and be with them. It’s genuine fulfillment I never thought I would have in my life. So, if you can withstand all the bullshit, and there is a metric shit ton of it for sure, it’s an amazing job. If you can’t stand up for yourself, or if you can’t deal with irrational requirements imposed by people fully out of touch with reality—-if you can’t, in other words, set aside, or ignore to the maximum extent possible, dealing with other adults, you should definitely avoid it.

I can do those things. Becoming a teacher was the single best decision I’ve ever made.

But to reiterate existing talking points, using copyrighted works for AI weight generation is exactly the same thing as how human artists learn skills just because some people refer to the process as “learning” or “training”, and any counterarguments to this are meaningless fearmongering outdated Luddite rages, besides such uses are fair uses and transformative uses and explicitly allowed in some jurisdictions under specific terms not allowing blanket rights to regurgitation so it’s all lawful and financially fully exploitable.

Yay a new part of chromium with a new name made by different people (probably) than the original v8 people. Seems like Google has an affliction of “not invented by me”.

Just read the first sentence if you are thinking I’m being a bit harsh:

“We’ve previously made a case why four tiers in V8(Google internal) make sense to explain why Sparkplug made sense in addition to Ignition, TurboProp and TurboFan. TurboProp was a midtier compiler proposal based on TurboFan to significantly improve compilation speed while compromising on the performance of the resulting code. With Sparkplug in place, however, the design tradeoffs TurboProp made by being built on top of TurboFan didn’t end up panning out. ”
I have found the Japanese “ok” more confusing than hai, since its an English word used slightly differently. I have tried to explain to Japanese people that the English “ok” is like a minimal agreement not showing any great enthusiasm, but because it has a neutral or even positive nuance they keep using it in English in situations where it makes it sound like they are reluctantly agreeing.

You have a fair point, and that’s that tuition is another item where customers frequently don’t even shop on price. Many students decide on school with only a vague idea of price, some are on scholarship so they don’t pay, some are not that sophisticated with money so they just ignore the price and take out expensive loans for whatever they tell them to pay.

But the main reason why the idea would help is that colleges set tuition based on what they think the market will bear. The actual cost of the books though would be the school’s problem. Administration might actually pressure professors to NOT use custom self-authored editions that cost $200 more. Also, if the books are included, the school would want to buy used ones from any students who didn’t want to keep them, since it would save the school money. So they would be incentivized to tell professors to not switch to the yearly “new edition” which just resizes a few callout boxes each chapter in order to screw up the pagination, and randomly shuffles the exercises.

* note: I’m imagining here that tuition is set to a fixed amount for everyone just as it is today, not that everyone’s tuition is computed custom for them to include the books their particular professors picked.

I sort of interpreted it an inverse way:

In a city, the limited resources are emotional/social energy, sense of privacy, etc. So the social contract is to conserve them by politely not noticing each other; thereby allowing people to maintain the reserves necessary to get through the day.

Show HN: New parsing/validation library for Node/TypeScript (DTO classes)
Designed specifically to model data transfer objects in HTTP JSON APIs.

There are lots of other good validation libraries for Node (zod, joi, class validator) but they didn't hit the development sweet spot for me.

This TypeScript-only library gives you:
(1) Class-based schemas that serialize and deserialize
(2) Static types by default without an additional infer call
(3) Custom validation by adding methods to a schema class
(4) Simple way to access additional context (eg the request object) when parsing
(5) An API broadly similar to OpenAPI and JSON Schema

20hp should be plenty, since the generator only has to output the average power rather than peak.

PHEVs don't have the range because they're really just ICE cars with batteries for low speed and energy regeneration under braking. For them, electric is still the secondary rather than the primary means of movement.

You would think there was a market for this, given that batteries are still a large part of the price tag for a BEV and a smaller and simpler generator should save on cost and packaging size relative to the duplicated drivetrain required for a true PHEV.
For the snoop dog portion, we're also adding communities which would power something like this, with some human input

Lovely site!

One small thing to drastically improve loading and the feel of it: Please resize you thumbnail images to be 60kb-100kb or so.

When I load this page: https://mycloudsafari.com/browse

I see 8 images all around 3-4mb being loaded (one is 6mb)

This makes the page close to 30mb in size, when it could be a few megabytes and a lot more "snappy" for your users

(Side note: Mobile is loading the same image sizes as desktop, which is even worse. BUT don't stress, if you reduce the desktop image sizes it should be 'good enough' for mobile without bothering to take it any further)

Anyway you might already know all this, and are getting around to improving it already... just wanted to say incase in helps, as it's an otherwise great website... all the best!
Tablets may not have replaced TVs but tablets altered the trajectory for TV and TV watching hugely. I do not believe TV manufacturers expected to be solely the agents of large displays, They thought 3D was going to be a licence to print money.

I bet TV makers really did not enjoy learning that even android TV was by now really just another view of somebody else's revenue stream and just costs for them: keep up with the pace of CVE and upgrade or .. they just use their tablet.

Copyright does not mean the right to make copies.

It means the right to benefit from the value of making copies.

It doesn't matter if those copies are made by pushing bits over the Internet or hewn into the side of a mountain by thousands of masons.

It's an access and use right, not a physical instantiation.

Copyleft, open source, CC-by-N etc don't change this or subvert the concept. They're simply ways of asserting that the benefit should be collective instead of individual.

This makes perfect sense for group efforts, but no sense at all for content creators who would derive no benefit at all if copyright didn't exist.

Either you believe in property and access/benefit rights or you don't. You can't believe in them selectively just because you want something and are terribly offended if you're asked to pay for it.

And if you don't believe in property rights - fine. Let's make everything collectively owned, including money. (Which is in fact just bits that can be pushed over the Internet.)

It looks like it's not possible to order one unless you've ordered something from Pimoroni before 12 May 2023. The only one in stock currently is the Pi Zero. So unfortunately it's still the same story. Yeah, we had lots of stock, but it's gone now and you couldn't order it anyway. I hope it gets better soon, and all this pent-up demand doesn't collapse once stocks are full.

The problem is less the children than the fact that lifestyle changes made things enormously more CO2 intensive. India has far more people and far lower CO2 emissions because they didn’t change their lifestyle to involve huge increases in beef consumption, daily individual travel in massive gas powered vehicles, and heavy use of climate control systems. A significant chunk of those changes and the CO2 emitted happened after we knew that global warming was happening, too, so it really comes back to the ability of rich people to buy their way into being allowed to ignore externalities.

Can you be more specific about which governments, as I think that the governments of most English speaking countries do handle funeral arrangements where necessary, and it's not limited to them but a fairly ancient practice.

The greatest threat to democracy in the USA is non-participation in voting. Either because of apathy, or because of active exclusion.

If the US had compulsory voting, a lot of the current surface of tension would look different because the key drivers to being elected would look different. I argue it would project a median/middle ground perspective because its only under low voter turnout that the extremes win strength in the process: if the bulk of the voting populace are electing, they elect the middle ground. (this is the experience in Australia where attempts to push the overton window rightward with anti immigration, anti-vaxx agenda basically failed at scale. What we got was 51/49 outcomes instead of 49/51 the other way. People are voting for middle ground, middle-of-the-road norms)

The second greatest threat to US democracy is the electoral college and gerrymandering inside the state. I could not believe hanging chad, and then what do you know, it gets weaponised to a retreat into fairytales. The whole alternate elector/faithless elector/State-governor-decides thing is a fantasy land.

Arguably, the processes to derive a lifetime seat on the SCOTUS is a greater risk than either.

It's a triumvirate of risk really. Constitutional narrow reading minimalists are overwhelmingly looking to secure power through textual reading, not through modern lived experiences. How the founding fathers are meant to have understood bump stocks, grenade launchers and Mifepristone is beyond me. But then, they said explicitly they wanted church and state separation and no official religion yet we have "under god" and ten commandments being attempted to be mandated by judges..

I think Starlink is justified in charging more for higher bandwidth usage even if they have not increased capacity, and have no current plans to do so.

In another context, it's fair that I should pay 10x more for 10 diapers than one diaper. This is true even if the diaper company has no immediate plans to make another diaper factory.

Price here is a signal to allocate scarce resources — in this case, the resources and labor that went into the diapers, as well as the amortized cost of the factory needed to make them.

Is Starlink special and thus subject to pricing rules that other businesses are not? If not, is it a special case simply because it's Ukraine?

If the latter, it'd be more honest to simply say: Ukraine is under attack and needs a helping hand. Starlink is uniquely positioned to help and ought to pitch in out of the goodness of their own hearts.

Digging into their cost structure is really a diversion from the actual argument, which is that we feel they have a moral duty to help.

The killer feature of BEVs is that you never actually have to take them somewhere to charge if you're charging them at home. It's only on long trips that you need to stop.

Unreasonable question. If they answer yes, that allows you to respond they're just biased. If they answer no, that gives you an opening to say they're a hypocrite for laying out an argument and ignoring the implications when doing so would affect them personally.

Either way, they're making an argument on the subject matter, and you're trying to make it about them. That makes me think you're not actually interested in discussing the subject matter.

The affect of computers on photography has grown dramatically in the last decade, its been very impressive seeing all the 'tricks' that we have incorporated into mobile phones to deal with their shortcomings.

But, more excitedly, we are seeing these advancements coming into the professional field - such as with Sony's new mirrorless A7RV which has a dedicated AI processor for autofocus.

All these additions help aid in composition, understanding what a scene needs and helping produce the most accurate image. As someone who still regularly shoots with film, it is amazing to go back and see just how many additions we take for granted when taking photos today compared to in the past.
People can hear it and that's expected and intentional. To a large extent the to-the-cent precise vocal pitch and quantized beat is the "sound" of modern popular music. There are a huge number of tiny decisions that affect the final "feel" or sound of a recording and there have been since the beginning of recorded music. Each era/genre combo in that matrix has a different set of norms and expectations around those decisions.

The median technical skill and musicianship of most mainstream musicians now is just unreal compared to any point in the past that I know of. Applying those tools in that way is not technically necessary and is essentially part of their artistic statement: "I am part of this moment, I am influential within it." Musicians, even popular ones, still do release recordings with a different feel, but that is making another sort of statement.

I'm also not the biggest fan of this sound, I like a fair bit of sloppiness in my music. But it's a mistake to consider this either a necessary or accidental tradeoff with these tools. It's intentional, even if it may be one of those things that most producers wish they could just not do.

Another factor, minor in general but relevant to the current thread. The more you freak your relationship to the pulse the more you need to be precise elsewhere to keep the feeling of mastery over your instrument & performance. Being late can be in a groove, being flat can be really feeling it, being both registers as sloppy etc.

In the style influenced by Dilla, the beats don't land where you "expect" them to, and for that to feel intentional they need to be quantized precisely so they're off by consistent amounts. There's flexibility here for sure and good live percussionists can push both very far. But in a recording, there's already other pressure to nail everything to the grid so why not play it safe.
