I think this is fine. I took this test without taking the class. I was not a well established programmer. I just grinded the textbook. I hadn’t ever actually done anything in Java when I took the test.

This class is many students’ first introduction to programming unlike other AP courses which are an advanced level of something they have already seen to various extents.

Writing out the code by hand, which can involve nested loops and must be syntactically correct, is pretty hard. Especially after a very long test beforehand. To be honest, I don’t think I really understood what an API was until I was forced to use a provided one on the test. I was utterly burned out by the end of it.

I thought it was a good class, test, and curriculum
What about them? Both of those can violate air rights, and in the US both have FAA regulations that apply. I’m using the US as an example because I live in the US, but many many countries have similar regulations. Small drones need a remote pilot license, and drones large enough to carry a human require an actual aircraft pilot’s license just like any other airplane or helicopter. In a public park in the US, small drones are required to stay under 400 ft altitude above ground, inside the airspace of the park. (Small drones are also required to not fly directly above other people.) Aircraft with people in them are required to fly higher than that, which thus defines an altitude threshold above which is considered outside of land-based public and private property boundaries.

https://www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators/become_a_drone_...

The question in the quiz about flying airplanes over a park can be correctly answered with 3 pieces of information: the aircraft type, the park’s location, and the altitude. The question cannot be answered without that information. Contrary to the author’s attempted point, the correct answer to the question is not a matter of language ambiguity.
This is really cool, thanks for pointing it out! I have used Eruda and keep it in Tampermonkey in Firefox for use in a pinch but it's hacky. It's impressive that it works at all, but it's very difficult to do any actual work.

I already had Kiwi installed and it's neat to pop it open and see this feature hiding in plain sight. I can definitely see myself using it regularly, although I won't use it as a daily driver since it selectively blocks adblockers on a hardcoded list of domains which is just untrustworthy. https://github.com/kiwibrowser/src/blob/master/extensions/re...
The HN commentary on this article is strange. The title is "The ‘manning up of boys begins in the cradle.’ But what boys really need is emotional support from their dads" (why is the HN submission title different from the article title, by the way?). Yet so many commenters here are arguing about men's rights and discrimination against men instead. The article isn't about how fathers are somehow prevented from being emotionally available to their sons; rather, it's about how fathers choose to be emotionally unavailable to their sons in the misguided notion that boys need to be trained from childhood to be "manly" and "strong". A telling quote: "Fathers are also more likely to sing to and soothe their toddler daughters at night when they cry."

No.

Have heard sometimes the non-airport locations can be desperate for cars and might waive drop-off fees if you ask to drop off at one instead of an airport.

Saves them from having to move a car from the airport themselves.

Probably car dependent.
I think missing here is that "=" should be a "≈", and that "b" should be an integer. Otherwise this is trivially false (consider 2!=b^2 if b must be integer) or true (if b need not be integer).
So the story is basically:

1. data that has to be retained for legal reasons can't be deleted by normal deletion processes

2. data that should be deleted didn't delete properly

3. to fix (2) they manually ran delete requests for times up to about the current date (back in 2018), relying on (1) to protect data

4. turns out somebody forgot to configure (1) for emails send to domains belonging to Chase (at that point the merger was 18 years ago)

5. It took 1.5 years for anyone to notice.

To me it seems like number 5 is the biggest problem here. Mistakes happen, but had they noticed in time they likely would have had those messages in backups (if they don't, that's a much bigger problem). But they probably don't retain the backups for long, for the same reasons they delete old emails in the first place (legal discovery)
My team has been using ChatGPT for generating breakdowns of legacy code, including thousands of Fortran files for which there's no official documentation and the original developers are long retired. This is probably one of the best use cases I have seen so far of LLM aiding software development. With the overwhelming amount of legacy code running critical infrastructure in the US, I can see the enormous value LLMs can provide when tuned for documenting systems written in legacy languages like Fortran, Cobol and Delphi.
YEs. YEs. YEs. I always do and condemn everyone who doesn't. Also, it's nice to have a -showConfig flag that exposes the results of config file processing, minus secrets of course.

> men were hostile to women

Were they really though? I mean, yes there always were and always will be some abusive men, but men _as a group_ have been more associated with protecting and caring for women than being hostile to them. Until very recently in human history, women actually couldn't physically survive without men - it's only been in the past few generations that the nature of work has changed to where women could actually perform it.
What if you're on the go and only have a phone available? I reckon this is intended for quick experiments, not in depth debugging.

Computer Modern is an abomination, the Comic Sans of software engineering.

Well, that's not really fair to Comic Sans — at least it was designed by a professional for a very specific purpose. Computer Modern is an amateur creation from the stone age of digital typography, and the only reason it persists is the silly computer science education cargo cult around it. You won't find a professional type designer with kind words to say about Computer Modern (though they are generally too polite to say anything about it).
There is a lot of pissing on public schools because the public has lost sight of why they exist.

There is a lot of religious-y "If you don't go to school you will spend an entirety in hell, er, flipping burgers" or "Those who graduate will make more money – please don't notice that incomes are stagnant and that those with struggles in life that will make them economically unproductive fail/drop out because of the same struggles" nonsense floating out there, but not a lot of concrete details on what value is actually delivered. Other governmental departments put a lot of effort into communicating their value proposition, but schools seem rest on faith.

Which may have been fine a century or two ago when people still remembered why the schools were created, but people now forget. As such, they seek out things they think the schools should do to justify an existence.
Was Babbage's Analytical Engine an Instrument of Psychological Research?
It is quite surprising to most people when they first learn that there are more real numbers than there are integers, but there are just as many pairs of integers as there are integers.

In other words, infinity*infinity=infinity whilst 2^infinity>infinity

The proofs are pretty easy, but that doesn't make the result less surprising to people who don't know it yet.
> There are no masculine traits that men have and women dont

This is not true. There are obvious traits as humans aren’t unique in biology. It’s not to say that these things are unique to women or men, but that they are more common.

Male swans are larger than female swans. This doesn’t mean that all male swans are larger than all female swans. But it’s a masculine trait.

There are obvious traits that are masculine and feminine and some are positive or negative. And some were more positive or negative historically and in the future.

This doesn’t mean that one sex is superior to another in general.

All humans have equal rights to dignity even though different sexes and genders have specific advantages and disadvantages.

But just showing the height differences of men and women is pretty clear. That was more useful 800 years ago when people wore armor and fought wars and less useful in the future when people work in space.

I think it's mostly to keep existing reactors operating. Which is not that far from reasonable, given that solar/wind get some level of production subsidies.

Also I was glad they could ask for anything they missed when my girls were still learning the language and were spending most of their class time trying to grasp what they were told in class.
Maybe once we figure out how to reliably prevent hallucination, LLMs can displace the most banal docs.

As far as long-form tutorials, information architecture, and concept doc? I'm not concerned about the future of technical writing for at least a couple of decades. LLMs write the kind of inflated, roundabout garden path sentences that I used to write in middle school to pad page counts. Tons of unnecessary adjectives and redundant sentences. It's hard to ask a question to an LLM and end up with a statement that doesn't contain a contradiction.

Maybe crappy technical writing will end up displaced. But great documentation is a lot more than just spewing words and facts on a page. You have to think about niche edge cases, API design, and higher levels of abstraction. Not to mention figure out how to actually use a new interface that, more often than not, doesn't match the original design spec in subtle ways.

Anyone who replaces technical writers with LLMs in the next couple of years will reap more than their share of developer discontent when the docs literally lie to them.
The claims here are just that microRNAs are delivered, not DNA, and that these change gene expression. Also, these Melnik papers are reviews, not studies - he's just summarizing other people's research (nothing wrong with that, in fact it's super useful, but Melnik isn't proving anything, and you should read the original papers and see if he's accurately reporting the results, and if those papers are designing their experiments correctly).

Also consider that basically everything you eat contains miRNA. If it works for milk, it will work for everything else. But it probably won't, since none of this makes sense (since your digestive system has enzymes that will eliminate all of your dietary nucleic acids, and bile to disrupt any vesicles that contain miRNA) and also it seems like a lot of these claims that dietary miRNA can even make it into your bloodstream are unreproducible: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6628849/

Can you honestly say to yourself you don't need this to be true? It certainly would be convenient if making one small dietary change could lead to huge health benefits.

If you have a simple use case, yes.

If you need the things that XML has, no, JSON is not simpler. It is more complex. Every attempt to embed XML/HTML into JSON has resulted in something worse than XML/HTML... and they are all different, too, which is bad.

The main problem with XML is that most people don't need what it has. The main problem with XML in the late 1990s and early 2000s is that it was jammed in many places that did not need what it had, and put a bad taste in developer's mouth as a result. It's actually a good solution for its niche, and that niche is large enough it isn't going anywhere, but it is also still only a niche. In that niche you're crazy to try to jam JSON in; out of that niche you're crazy to use XML. The mythos that XML is useless persists because the latter category is a much larger one.

We're in the early days of building this over at phaselab.co.

My perspective, from a non-native speaker: Latin alphabet has happened to overlap with majority of world capital and economy. That is all to it. It's a never-ending baroque timesink to learn English spelling properly, but it did not matter.

Computing based on Chinese or Arabic would be a hindrance. Computing based on Hebrew, Cyrillic, Greek or Hindi would not be in any way (although for Slavic languages I do find flexibility of word order and plethora of word forms a hindrance, but it's a linguistic one).
One contributor is that most models get a mid life major Android version update after 2 ish years and those don't work as well as the launch versions. It's unlikely to be hardware problems you suggest. Flash ftl slowdown due to filling up or fragmentation from use might contribute though.

There are some jank debugging tools on Android (eg system tracing found under dev settings), would be interesting to see what they report on a fresh vs slowness afflicted device.
IMO, it creates less hackers.
For people wondering why this isn’t obvious:

> What’s interesting is that b is very nearly a linear function of n.
Personally I just miss Dates. Even if I dont really like not having comments, it is probably for the best, force software to have proper documentation.
> I'm also intrigued by the constant cloud refrain of "stuff crashes all the time so just expect it to" coming from a background where I have apps that run without crash for 6 months at a time, or essentially until the next release.

IMHO, those aren't mutually exclusive. Your app code should be robust enough to run 6+ months at at time, and the "stuff crashes all the time so just expect it to" attitude should be reserved for stuff outside your control, like hardware failures.
The jump from criticising OceanGate to Americans loving when sociopaths run companies, doesn't make any sense. I guess he believes Rush was a sociopath and not just a cheapskate. It is a hell of an assumption to make with no backing. Especially weird when the author thumbs his nose at the general consensus that OceanGate was run in an unsafe manner, a position with a lot of evidence behind it
I am confident that prompt engineering is not a long term solution for anybody. The cost of creation is moving towards free. Anybody with an idea will increasingly be able to make whatever they want. The best one could do is to try to invest or build something that still has value, but I think Altman is right. Capitalism will collapse in a world where creation is near free.
Float determinism is one of those things that in theory floats should behave deterministically, but in practice it's a wild west. One big problem is that in C (and in many others), common operators are not explicitly mapped to specific fp operations, which gives compilers quite a lot of leeway on what they can do.

Another issue is that FP uses some amount of invisible global state, e.g. rounding modes. Iirc for example DirectX likes to change the flags behind your back.
This is really good.

I used this a few years ago when my laptop had died and I had to get some work done. Bought an USB keyboard, installed vim, zsh, tmux, ruby, node and postgres in Termux on my phone. Small screen but worked pretty well. Had to use devtools and I found this.

> reasonable or appropriate

That's the point, they shouldn't be "reasonable" nor "appropriate" for an entity as large and with as many resources as JPM. Surely with the 300k employees they have and the literal infinite well of money they have, there's a few competent individuals working there to prevent these sort of "mistakes" from happening, and if not then they should either find some competent people, or cease to exist.

What's reasonable about charging them 4 million? It's not even a drop in the bucket, it's a singular molecule of water getting inserted into the bucket if we're talking about JPM.
It is annoying ( effectively being excluded ), but do we need social validation to do our job ( raising kids )? Now, if the teacher is withholding information, that is a different story.
Some harm is even willfully hidden: the tobacco industry hiding that they knew about cancer risks, oil & gas hiding that they knew about climate change, chemical companies that knew about the risks of PFAS and environmental leakage; it goes on and on.

Profits over people.
Masculinity is summed up in the motives behind why we do things: are you running from something or are you building towards something?

You can build an impressive body because you're running from the thoughts and feelings you get when you're at home alone without the endorphins in your blood. Or you can have a vision and build towards that actively.

You'll always have both to some degree in everything but the core point here is what percentage are spending in which pole?
> Male swans are larger than female swans. This doesn’t mean that all male swans are larger than all female swans. But it’s a masculine trait.

So it depends on definition here right. The trait "taller" is masculine with respect to female swans. But Height, is not something that women do not have.

Dutch people are taller than the rest of the planet, that does not make Dutch women more masculine than American men. hence my point that something that is masculine cannot be defined as something women do not have.

This is 100% false. I trained for about 3 years and the number of people that had to drop BJJ or stop training for periods of time due to injuries was high, including myself. It's a sport where you accumulate a lot of minor injuries, especially if you roll at a semi competitive pace. This doubled for people who would come in from non-athletic backgrounds (as in white collar professionals not on TRT)

That said it was the most fun i've had with sports in my life

The first significant digit of "0.1" and "0.2" _is_ 3! The first significant digit of "0.3" just isn't 3.

In case anyone hasn't seen it yet, if you print a double with enough fractional values, you'll eventually get its "true" value (because 2 divides 10).

>>> print('%.60f' % 0.1)
0.100000000000000005551115123125782702118158340454101562500000

It's only zeros after these zeros.

Here are the "true" values of 0.2, 0.3, and their sum:

>>> print('%.60f' % 0.2)
0.200000000000000011102230246251565404236316680908203125000000

>>> print('%.60f' % 0.3)
0.299999999999999988897769753748434595763683319091796875000000

>>> print('%.60f' % (0.1 + 0.2))
0.300000000000000044408920985006261616945266723632812500000000

Turns out 0.1 + 0.2 is actually the number right after "0.3":

>>> print('%.60f' % math.nextafter(0.3, 100))
0.300000000000000044408920985006261616945266723632812500000000

If you don't use a ton of decimal digits, by default the runtime prints the shortest decimal number that has the same binary representation as the true value when converting that decimal number to binary. Much of the confusion around floats is due to that convenience feature that aims to make floats less confusing.
That didn't go well for anyone involved.
