I think it depends on what you do in music. I also just play for fun and do not care about trying to gain absolute pitch (not that this is an option from what I've read).

My friend's brother has absolute pitch. I've played 10 note chords for him & he can pick out every note and also tell me if each note is in tune, sharp, or flat.

He is a high school band director. I can imagine that this is a very useful skill for his job.
We had to develop a form in MS access for some mock business use case. It was something that you _might_ have done 15 years ago? FFS though, just teach sqlite. It's infinitely more convenient to run sqlite than MS access (windows-only). Not to mention that MS access only supports a subset of SQL (IIRC, some joins don't work), so much for learning the fundamentals. Absolutely infuriating.
Literally, yes.

As example, the north bridge isn't as explicit today as the document makes it seem. A lot of functionality that used to be reserved for the north bridge is now being tucked away into the CPUs or motherboards themselves.

Still, worth reading.
Really looking forward to this progressing to automatic React component generation and onto bidirectional sync; prompting automatic pull requests on Figma changes for affected components.

I find that there are few tasks in software development more uninteresting than converting Figma designs into React components. The day I no longer have to do that will be a great day indeed :)
If you're looking for some Bayesian Stats books that require very little math/stats, I'd recommend starting with these two:

Think Bayes by Allen Downey:https://allendowney.github.io/ThinkBayes2/

Bayesian Methods for Hackers by Cam Davidson-Pilon: https://dataorigami.net/Probabilistic-Programming-and-Bayesi...

They're both an excellent warm up for Statistical Rethinking.
I don't understand why this requires Vercel. This could just be hosted on GitHub pages instead.

You can't do this without fixing the parents first. Whether that's the too-involved ones or not-involved-enough ones.

You have to get rid of credentialism and entitlement for the too-involved ones, and convince them that their child will only get out of school what they put in.

The not involved enough ones are probably even harder, you have to convince them that something can change if the kids put in the work after so many years of it really not mattering that much, since the kids with the too-involved parents are just doing still-that-much-more and are doing things you don't have the money or time to do to pad the college resume.

If you don't convince those groups, you don't have a chance of enforcing things policy-wise on those parents.
School choice is controversial because it is associated with right wing attempts to undermine public schools and, among other things, teacher's unions. In fact, the school choice movement as we know it goes back to desegregation in the south: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/09/27/school-cho....

That is just one article about it, but someone close to me was involved in the original litigation on the subject. It was not uncommon in the south for districts to close public schools and almost literally give public land and equipment from those schools to private schools which could more easily remain segregated.

There are other dimensions to school choice as well. In particular, some parents would prefer to "insulate" their children from information about sexuality or uncomfortable truths about american history.

And, I admit, public schools often are struggling to teach, so its not entirely black and white. But school choice is politically fraught.

But many people see it as the standard republican strategy: first, starve public services of funding, then claim that they are bad, and then get rid of them.

I'd argue that it isn't commonly used in the sense of gender, but also that it isn't a slur, doesn't need to be banned, and isn't harmful in any way.

The degree to which a lot of the discussion around trans people is an online phenomenon can't be overstated. It happens offline, but not much compared to what social media (and possibly quite young people in general) would have you believe.

As a person without absolute pitch, here is my take on its utility. It does not help technique, does not help for sight read music, and does not grant musical taste or compositional creativity.

AP helps improvisation (mostly keyboard and strings, less so brass, and even less so woodwinds, I can explain later). Also, ease/speed of composition, allowing you to focus on the creative aspect of composing, or just simply composing more.

You can become a great improviser with relative pitch, but it is much harder, as you have to calculate the intervals between notes in real time, whereas AP spits out the exact note automatically for you.

You should ask your daughter if she would be interested in Jazz improvisation! That is where her AP would actually shine. We need another Stephane Grappelli! :D

I am a violinist myself, and although I can play every scale and arpeggio in the books, I still can't play freely what I hear in my head vs my fingers even after years of working on my real time relative pitch.

I don't see the distinction. What's the difference between public and private sector employees?

Yup. This is far from new. Used to be getting a zip file full of low quality photoshop exports and you would have better luck pulling teeth out of a cranky tiger(1) than getting proper assets (or the raw files) out of the art team.

I didn't downvote, but I suspect some of it could be because "school choice" probably doesn't solve the problems it claims to solve. After all, school choice already exists - just move to the district you prefer. Vouchers might allow a student to travel to a better school, but outside the densest urban areas, that means a lot of time spent on a bus (or parents driving even more than they do today) - not always feasible.
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens:

“Within a couple of millennia, humans in many parts of the world were doing little from dawn to dusk other than taking care of wheat plants. It wasn't easy. Wheat demanded a lot of them. Wheat didn't like rocks and pebbles, so Sapiens broke their backs clearing fields. Wheat didn't like sharing its space, water and nutrients with other plants, so men and women labored long days weeding under the scorching sun. . . .
The body of Homo sapiens had not evolved for such tasks. It was adapted to climbing apple trees and running after gazelles, not to clearing rocks and carrying water buckets. Human spines, knees, necks and arches paid the price. Studies of ancient skeletons indicate that the transition to agriculture brought about a plethora of ailments, such as slipped discs, arthritis and hernias.
Moreover, the new agricultural tasks demanded so much time that people were forced to settle permanently next to their wheat fields. This completely changed their way of life. We did not domesticate wheat. It domesticated us.”
Left to their own devices, Activision/Blizzard would have just died. If your goal is games continuing to get made regardless of the platform they appear on, I'd argue the Microsoft acquisition is a net win for Blizzard fans.
I'm sorry to say that none of these is close to the review I asked for, and afaics your first result explicitly quotes from and your fourth is preceded by an image taken from the PRL letter (Sadeeh et al) I supplied in my comment's second paragraph. The former is a summary of Sadeeh et al's results: the constraints on vorticity are unforgivingly strong and vanishingly small. The latter does not even discuss vorticity or rotation or spin outside the caption of said image. Search-fu failure. That the bigthink article is simply pop-sci (Ethan Siegel is very well known) and not a literature review is something I think you should have noticed.

As to your last link, the conjecture about a preferred handedness of spiral galaxies went nowhere (you found a link from more than a decade ago; the preprint (and a visit to google scholar and citeseerx) does not match a peer-reviewed publication <https://arxiv.org/abs/0812.3437>), and additionally says nothing about galaxy clusters, ellipticals, and so forth. Even more importantly it's only for z < 0.085 which is in the region where the linear theory of cosmology is not expected by anyone to apply, c.f. my comment's penultimate paragraph.

Finally, your second result to a 2013 paper is different and interesting, and at last has evidence of engagement by other authors <https://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?cites=10702549710128965...> however considerably more than half of those are by U V Satya Seshavathram et al talking about their very non-standard hypotheses in many fields <https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/U-V-S-...> (note the cold fusion stuff, and the at least four very different rotating cosmologies, quantum and not, dark foam and not). Also, the first (by GS ordering at the link above) citation of the 2011 paper you found, amusingly, is a self-citation (Chechin, Astronomy Reports 2016). Another Chechin self-cite, in a 2014 paper, also looks interesting (although it's only cited twice).

So it's pretty clear on your supplied evidence that there is no debate about the rotation of the universe. That's not too surprising, even BOOMERaNG data fails to support (and even somewhat undermines) early-time (pre-CMB) relevance of anything but scalar perturbations.

Thanks anyway. I'll enjoy reading these two wild Kazakh ideas I didn't see when they were fresh last decade, so your efforts weren't wasted.

(ETA: to be clear, Chechin and his coauthors are doing physics. Their math is sensible, their argument based on physical principles. They demonstrate professional familiarity with the standard cosmology. They advance a hypothesis (well a couple hypotheses, they too have multiple spinning universe models; their Generalized Jeans one is the most interesting) which is probably in conflict with observations available not long after publication date. They aren't pretending to be physicists, and they're not cranks. But the idea that there is an angular velocity proportional to the square root of the (dark) energy density is ... pretty wild! As in nobody's put it in a zoo of models.)

Very old.
Humans are never "ready" for the next crazy technological advance. I'm fond of this concept that I heard a while back, that I'm probably going to butcher:
If a technology comes out before you were born, or while you're very young, it's always existed. If it comes out when you're in your 20s, it's new and exciting. If it comes out after you're 35, it's scary and is a harbinger of ensuing disaster.

We always manage to figure it out. It's a cat & mouse game, and the next generation will probably manage it.

> However it is perfectly on brand of the "Open Source" corporatist movement that seems to be supplanting free software

This has been happening on HN too. The vilification of GPL and AGPL as ”not free in the truest sense of the word”, the usage of RMS and his personal image to label the free software movement outdated/fanatical/toxic is a testament to how corporate rebranding efforts have succeeded in replacing free software with open-source — software that is conveniently licensed so that corporations can bake it into their product without a single concern for the longevity or well-being of the developer or the software itself.
Elon moves on personal, and, at times, trivial influences. His offer to buy Twitter may have been precipitated by a girlfriend who thought the Babylon Bee was being unjustly banned from Twitter. Twitter hired some first-rate lawyers to draft the agreement, and then it snowballed from an amusing gesture to possibly the worst LBO in history.

This at least can be partly attributed to Musk having a child who is trans. He seems very unsettled by that.
It can be weighted to be more honest when it doesn't know if those answers are picked by the labeler.
I wish this encourages companies to look for more alternatives to RHEL and its clones. There are certainly cases where the stability of RHEL makes sense. But too often teams use them when they need latest versions of software, resulting in pointless packaging work.

The worst part about the packaging work is, the tools used to create RPM packages is showing its age. RPM macros, the language for describing packages, is based on text substitution which makes it tricky to write. [1] RPM builds don't do build-time sandboxing, so a package won't build consistently across machines without extreme care taken in both the package descriptions and the build environment. Even if the package itself builds and runs on the same machine, it isn't guaranteed to run on other machines too because it lacks a way to ensure reproducibility.

[1]: For example, commenting out a macro might not work as expected because the expanded text might include a newline.
Yes, I’m adamant. But schools are very slow to react and commercial initiatives are hardly a substitute for school curriculum at least where I’m from. School teach and then teach to test. So even a little bit different way of phrasing could throw a students ability to score the local test. In the long run you’d be learning but the signaling function of education is then missing. Plus what I notice in one of my kids: tests below his level get abysmal performance due to lack of interest. Again teaching to test in his class with him lacking the grit to just perform regardless of his feelings regarding the difficulty of the test. (He is nine so nothing lost yet.)
There's a problem. Don't every ask why though. The only acceptable solution is to throw more money to institutional authorities claiming to represent the best interest of children. Looking any deeper or suggesting any other solution is not acceptable. Now move along.

Hmm -- it definitely strikes me as not just poorly phrased, but quite weird that they brought up racial groupings at all. Otherwise they could have just said:

If they don’t speak a tonal language at all, they fare no better on AP tests than students who grew up speaking non-tonal languages.
I recall reading/seeing that a lot of standardized testing in the US is gamed by schools, which focus on “teaching the test”.

Could the decline in test scores be related to a shift im how schools approach these tests?
it shows scores have been in decline for over 10 years before a sharp covid related decline. And worse is that scores are now back to where they were in the early 70s. So despite the massive increase in spending and in theory the fact that all the spending dedicating to researching how to improve education, results are the same.

You're describing a good example of a process that requires tacit knowledge. The process of translation results in an output of text, but we can easily represent this output in a textbook. What we can't easily represent in a textbook is the subtle nuances around the process of how to translate. I was referring to that kind of tacit knowledge itself (similar to OP's example of qualia).
"Percentage of students missing 5 or more days of school monthly has doubled since 2020" seems like it might have some explanatory powers. How can you miss a quarter of the school days and keep up?
