The saying, "Every idea contains the seeds of its own destruction" keeps popping into my head.

The notion that children shouldnt be excluded for their differences is laudable, and led to IEPs, mainstreaming, and lots of progress. And then calcified into dogma that no child should be excluded no matter how disruptive they were.

Anti-bullying and "empower yourself to solve your problems" became the dogma of zero-tolerance and non-intervention. Children and staff are attacked in school and the administration doesn't do a thing.

There is plenty of blame to go around, but as a left leaning kind of person it is obvious now how calcification of some progressive ideas into rigid dogma is sending people screaming into the arms of the authoritarian right. Religious schools, charter schools, andnthe right wing etc are going to win because the combination of entitled parents, frustrated teachers, weakened administration and a educational academic establishment that has had essentially no intellectual rigor while still being able to suggest pedagogical approaches that affect millions of children are busy policing one another's adherence to dogma.

Sum types. In C they can be constructed out of unions and structs with lots of checks (and possibility for error) but it's painful.

There's really no excuse for C not having them, other than C being designed before algebraic types became mainstream. They make certain programming errors impossible, particularly with null values and misusing a union with the wrong type. It is possible to compile them as a zero-cost abstraction, and essentially all recent languages aimed at the same domain as C (Rust, D, Go, Zig, Hare, etc.) include them.

The problem here is we are required by law to pay taxes for schools, and the people running the schools have almost zero accountability on anything.

In our tiny regional district, the yearly school budget is $25 million a year, for less than a thousand students. Our combined municipal budgets, by comparison, are about $6 million.

For that $25 million a year, we are forced to pay, we get crap teachers and kids who can’t read or do math.

We are now in private school, for a total of $25,000 a year we pay ourselves, and we still have to pay the school taxes too.

It is absolutely outrageous.
Saw this, it looks very cool. What I was wondering was how different the rest of this model is from other llms, in that it appears to have some kind of RL layer that is performing the backspacing - does that sit seamlessly onto an otherwise standard llm or are there bigger architectural differences?

Now you have made me curious. Where would the thick German accent be, when pronouncing those words? I can imagine other sentences (anything with "th", for example) where you would hear a German accent. But with "I'll be back"?
I'm doing OOP in C right now in my work. I'm porting a C++ program to a new platform and, for reasons, the most feasible language to use for it is C.

Re-engineering the code to be not object oriented is not practical, so we're keeping its OO nature.

I tried using Kakoune as a daily driver for a while. I still bust it out now and then when there's something I want to do that would _really_ benefit from multiple cursors or structured regular expressions, but there's things that made me ditch it as my main editor:

1) Lack of windowing. I understand the pitch of radical simplicity by leaving this to the terminal editor, but it's just annoying as shit trying to write windowing configurations for different terminal editors. Something like making a window split and hopping between them shouldn't feel hacky and weird.

2) Extending the editor with Kakscript. Posix shell scripting is already something I do as little as possible, it's pretty much the worst programming language I can think of. Scripting kakoune uses shell scripting but it's far even worse, you descend into some weird un-debuggable eldritch horror mess of nested blocks of sh and eval mixing shell script semantics with kakoune editor state semantics.

Actually editing text with it feels amazing, though. It's like the yin to Emacs' yang.

You may be right. My hope is the AVP is at least step toward something that could make potentially dangerous physical activities, like cooking, safer (e.g., by showing you the temperature of a surface before you touch it with your hands, as suggested elsewhere in this thread).
As a Westerner who doesn’t live in Japan, Apple Maps is infinitely better there (2023).

In the US, I use Google Maps / Waze / Apple Maps about

So now it's the elderly. I've seen them fall for phone scams much more commonly, they usually don't have the technical ability to use the internet.

You're deflecting from the disinformation narrative into elderly scam. Which I agree is a problem, just a completely different one than the disinformation narrative presents.
Not OP, but I'm in the same position, so let me answer.

- I do get visual dreams. That's the only time I have a visual imagination; that, or if I'm on the verge of sleeping.

- If you say "pink elephant", I've got the concepts of elephant, pink and so on in my head. I can 'see' the geometry in a way, but it's totally abstract. Think of it like a pink elephant in a game where the renderer is off, and you won't go far wrong; all the information is there, and I can use it, I just don't see anything. Not as a hallucination, and not 'off to the side' either.

- I absolutely do hear songs in my head. Aphantasia usually only refers to visual imagination.

- If I want to hear it in a German accent, I do. By default, while I read something there's no auditory element at all. If I'm reading a book, I'll usually narrate the spoken sentences to myself and not do so for the other text; it's a matter of choice. Narrating it slows down my reading a lot, to the speed of fast speech.
Every native dropdown in your OS supports typing to select an option. While it might be arguable if it's intuitive, it definitely is a common pattern.

Oh yeah I get that. My issue is that often it is a waste of time. The other person has no intention to reveal their personality, or they are using it as a filter to see what they can get out of you or even they are only engaging so as not to appear unsociable.

It’s the easiest thing ever. Just look around to people, or use a smartphone yourself. It’s hard to see if you are too addicted to the amusement matrix to see it though. In that case just read the recent research of Jonathan Haidt.
I’m skeptical about these fears. We already have a disinformation problem. If AI can be used to exacerbate the problem, why can’t that be counterbalanced by using AI to fight against disinformation as well?

Just like any other sector, there will be a small handful of leaders in AI and that’s what most users will interact with. Couldn’t Bing/Google modify their models to underweight the content from websites regularly flagged to have disinformation and vice versa?
Designing a user interface of all things is a technical job, and non-technical folks who are asked to do that should probably study those things to do their jobs well.
Yeah, "everything has a filename" and "everything is a file" are very similar concepts but they aren't quite the same, and it might be that most of the value comes from the former.
It's not about what you consider or not. The Free Software movement is very clear. It is about the freedom of the user: "I, the copyright owner of my own code, allow you to use my code as long as you let your users have (some kind of) access to my code in the product they buy".

Really as an end user, I just don't understand who would be against the Free Software philosophy: either you don't care, or you want as much control as you can on what you buy, but why would you ever say: "I don't want those weird licenses that give me more access to the stuff I buy, I want the other ones that make it completely proprietary and inaccessible".

Of course as a company, you want permissive licenses, such that you can use it for free, but keep it proprietary (because companies like to think that this one bugfix they made is very strategic IP).

Correct either way.
Most professional violinists play in perfect equal temperament. I never got that deep into string playing, but I assume that a lot of study of "intonation" is actually about unlearning the natural frequency ratios (3/2 for 5ths, 5/4 for 3rds, etc) and learning to use the equal tempered counterparts (2^(7/12) and 2^(1/3) respectively).

However, there are a lot of times when you can make music more interesting and exciting by adding some pure thirds (equal temperament is off by the most on thirds, and thirds are very harmonically important) at strategic places. You just can't do this on a keyboard instrument.
In what way? Overall as a language, identifier shadowing is a feature of the language in nested scopes. Are you saying built-in identifiers (that aren't language keywords) should be treated specially and work differently than user-declared identifiers?
Additionally, it's the intervals that give music its emotional content. For example, a minor third sounds "sad" while a major third sounds "happy". Absolute pitches are meaningless in this regard.

Playing a single note confers no meaning. It's only when subsequent notes are played that a context emerges, and music gains its emotional qualities.
Letter O Considered Harmful
I have the feeling that the difference between the social sciences, which have been rocked by the replication crisis pretty hard, and every other part of science, is that the social sciences are aware of their problem. I'm not aware of any field of science that has looked for problems with replicability, that has not found them. Most have not looked.
Thank you for steelmanning this. Most of the other comments resolve to textual downvotes. I don't necessarily blame people for this but it makes for useless discussion.
No of course you couldn't. There would need to be evidence produced and not just some arbitrary beliefs. Some people believe all sorts of things right?

Eye and hand tracking are supposedly the only way to interact with the device, so unless your app is not interactive at all, you will use them.
I think this effect is due to a cost of brain plasticity. You brain likes to close stuff regularly. Any new theory should be met with a kind of categorization, conclusion or a new idea to try later.
Paperless Office
Around my area (Central Cali) H1B's are generally hired at a higher rate only because the position couldnt be filled by a 'local', especially for public positions. The FAANG's managed to abuse the system enough that rules have changed to something more like what you envision. At least from the hiring practices Im party to.
I don't actually use Go, but I have used many other languages where it is like the old behavior. I learned once that I have to build the closure correctly to get the value I want and know now to do it. Don't have any statistics on whether I made that mistake again, but anecdotally I can't remember a case where I have. In their analysis they have found a lot of cases with that mistake, though. So I guess fair enough.

However, I wonder what it will mean if someone who mostly writes Go will now use another language? Will they be more prone to make that mistake?
I'm sure that's exactly the argument they would make. But I think it flies in the face of logic by implying that the data a company has is not part of the sale, the value of that data is not priced into the sale price of the company, and the purchasing company does not take ownership of that data.

It isn't rare for one company to buy another entirely so they can get the customer data.

> That is, many of the normal movement operations (such as search) have the side effect of leaving behind extra cursors, like little breadcrumbs, that take an extra keystroke to dismiss.

Uh, no? Unless you’re talking about undo which can indeed be annoying in that way when undoing a multicursor edit.

In particular, search with / and its modified versions does not change the number of cursors, and neither does the next occurrence command, n. You have to explicitly say N (that is <s-n>) to add a new selection at the next occurrence rather than move the current one there, or use s and friends which are specifically geared to act on each match within the current selection(s).

Are you sure you aren’t pressing something you shouldn’t be out of (Vim) habit?
Oh I agree. The euphoria doesn't last. People need to get on with their lives. None of us have any personal connection to these people nor could we influence their lives even if we tried. It's TV. Switch off or change the channel.
I'm not saying its possible, I'm saying the communications should send reminders to people to decide what they want to do.
Everything you say is true, except the part that implies it's just the social sciences. I don't know of any field of science that has looked into replicability in a serious way, that hasn't found similar problems.
A little story of a workaholic entrepreneur switching from a developer to a product founder in 10 years
Honestly it depends. The PinePhone Pro (which I've only briefly interacted with and do not own) seems like it works well, if a bit buggy, and with a fairly unoptimised UX derived mostly from desktop linux. Given that there's a handful of supported OSes/images (between android and linux) and just as many unofficial ones, it could be that we have only interacted with less polished SW.

Also FOSS GPU support depending on what device/SOC you have really varies. So weak GPU support can end up handicapping the experience.

Personally I'd like to mess with an android pinephone pro (not the stock "linux with android containers") but I'm not willing to foot the bill to set one up to play with.
No I'm saying if you're assigning *a person to a contract* Rocky can easily do that too.

To be fair, the Oculus experience is pretty bad. Mine only has three eye-width settings, none of which match my face, so my vision is always blurry. And whenever I use hand tracking, it only picks up my “clicks” about 20% of the time. It’s not surprising to me that no one wants to use it.
If Russia were to employ nuclear weapons, it would likely bring NATO directly into the conflict.

That would effectively start World War 3 and into unknown territory: full-scale war between multiple nuclear-armed nations.
Perhaps we could bring in some conventions from honor duels to help level the playing field?

Alice thinks Bob has slighted her honor, so Alice challenges Bob to a duel (to first blood, the death, whatever). Bob looks like a sore loser and coward if he backs down, but on the balancing side, Bob gets to pick the date and method of the duel.

Let's convert this into an academic debate based on the article.

Alice thinks Bob's claims regarding the COVID-19 vaccine are wrong, so she challenges him to a debate so she can prove that COVID-19 does in fact make you get mind control from 5G (or whatever conspiracy theory). Bob can choose not to entertain the motion, and his opponents get to claim they are 'just asking questions'. But if Bob accepts, he gets to stipulate that the debate take place on X date and in Y format, so he can choose to say "in 3 weeks, over written communication" which can help curb Alice's desire to 'win' by throwing around so many claims in such rapid fire fashion, there is no opportunity for Bob to properly address them without looking nit-picky or running out of debate time.
There’s even a term for that:

>apparently there is a 9% tax if you belong to a church.
I think it's more like 1-2% on gross income.
I just ran it in some dodgy online calculator and I would be paying 2%, but it's 9% on some <technical german term for fictitious tax income?>

I used to know these german taxation words, kind of, but it's a bit too late to go looking them up again.
I would say that her children's musical abilities have nothing to do with absolute pitch and everything to do with having a super smart, well organised and consistent mother. Their earliest memories are of bonding with the world's most important person over music, almost every day of their lives. They speak 3 languages, they talk with their friends about synethsesia, etc. They're a family of absolute brain boxes.

So I think following this method with your toddlers will probably recreate musical ability, and absolute pitch, but following a different musical routine with this level of regularity and consistency would also recreate the musical ability.
Interesting. This a valid question given this bill. Man, the US is kickin'it these last years.
I've no recollection about flying in Russian airspace, but I definitely did snap a phonecam pic of the seatback map showing us flying between the Elburz mountains and Tehran. This was in 2012, so 11 years ago (per the date of the pic I found).

The path suggested by that position absolutely implies flight over Russian territory, but obviously I have no data beyond that. It seems unlikely that an airliner would, like, zigzag around; n.b. that I was on Emirates, not a US carrier, and Russia (and other countries) probably doesn't treat them like they would an airline run out of a NATO country.

Or, at least, probably didn't in 2012. No idea what the rules are now.

EDIT: I found this article which notes that, at least as of a year ago, Emirates was flying TO Russia, so presumably flights through Russian airspace en route to other places were okay as well before the war.
