This is something I am seriously considering, though I will need to change careers to really enable it. Looking at public schools locally (I'm in San Francisco), it seems that the student quality is quite poor. Lots of class disruption and poor performance on tests.

My belief is that holding students to high standards and placing them with other kids who value those high standards results in very capable children, who are capable of making moral judgments and being good people. Poor education means that you have to rely on rule-based morality, etc.

It looks like this lack of good education mostly falls on poorer families, so they're forced to homeschool. I think, for me, private school is going to hit the right cost/benefit since there is a huge opportunity cost to me giving up my job.

Ultimately, all this appears to be the result of the fact that school administration in SF seems to be primarily populated by people who could not do very well in school or university and consequently have poor logical skills and cannot administer well. Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdekUXyAAzI . I think I exceeded these administrators' skillset and reading comprehension at 12 years of age. You likely did too (you think I am arrogant, perhaps, but watch the video).

These people are too dangerous to be involved anywhere near schoolchildren because the risk is they may take you and turn you stupid like them. The danger is net negative utility, where a sufficiently motivated child could probably solo much of this material from the textbooks. If private schools were easier to set up, I would set up a micro-school right away, just so there is some social contact.

Still, I have a few years before this is a constraint.
According to the news I read, Titan did not need to be classed/certified because it didn't launch from any port. Even if the mother ship did. I'll try to find the citation.
I understand the addictive and short-term-reward nature of video games.

But for many, video games are also a gateway drug into technology!

I tend to think that video games (and tabletop games) are educational on their own. For example, I think RPGs, strategy games, and puzzle games are pretty good for thinking and planning, while shooters and action games are good for eye-hand coordination and reaction time. I also think it's educational to build, configure, benchmark, and optimize a gaming PC.

Also if gaming is something you do with friends (especially in-person), then it has social benefits as well.

If he's interested, I'd encourage him to get involved in game programming and mods. I think that programming in particular can synergize with algebra (e.g. variables and expressions) and geometry (since logical reasoning is used in algorithms as well as geometric proofs, and graphics often require geometry and trigonometry.)

Robotics and real-world computing and electronics can also be fun and game-like. For some (many?), hands-on activities can be more engaging than pure software. Maybe he might enjoy building robotics or electronics kits or projects, or building something at a local wood, metal, or machine shop or maker space. We live in such a virtual world of screens that it is often refreshing to work with our hands with physical things.

Also sports and physical activity are good for getting away from youtube and improving the delivery of oxygen to your brain (excepting possible head injuries that are common in certain sports.)
denial.
This is more or less my own take, I just got an impression that the GP was pushing a "woke-ism sunk the sub" (which is not farcical, because gestures at everything), which seems like missing the forest by a long shot.
And you should consider that the ethernet endpoint of each camera may be accessible, perhaps with only limited physical breakage, and provide an entry point onto the network. Having each device on its own /30 is one way to do that, with routing restricted to talking to the server, or you might have a private VLAN feature on your switch. You can have multicast from the cameras go to other devices though.

Annoyingly, few TVs have multicast receivers, it's all Chromecast etc, so you need your own computers to decode and display.
who makes left and right headsets?

I've not seen that but there are small mixers that allow adjusting left/right on each input. Have you looked at the various small mixers / mini-mixers?
I've thought about this a lot when building GitHub integrations. It's so so so easy to use a GitHub username or an email as the link to the GitHub account. In fact, I don't even know how you connect an account to GitHub in a persistent manner. Email is slightly better because the odds that someone takes a specific email is pretty unlikely, but hey, domains expire too. Does GitHub give you a unique, guaranteed to never change id that corresponds to an account? They should.

What a weird claim. If the new apps aren’t doing anything more, then just use the old apps.

Except you’ll quickly find that the old apps are quite simple and limited relative to what we have today.

Unfortunately, it's not the correct answer.

If it's a meeting of 2-3 people they'll just find time when you're not blocked. If the goal is to schedule more meetings back-to-back this might help, but you're not going to avoid any meetings this way.

And if it's a meeting of 5+ people they won't care about your personal schedule, they'll only work around other large meetings, and it's up to you to reschedule your personal events and your one-on-ones.
Your argument is now “older people are stupid?”. The information is old and irrelevant? The article I linked was from this year.

I just picked a critical engineer at random, but I can see I’m wasting my time here. You are clearly not any kind of expert. I am clearly not any kind of expert. This is just devolving into nothingness, and I’ll leave it here.
Hey, it'll help inflation. Takes the spending money away from all the young professionals.
It is if you think you're the one person but actually are the other!
I don't think orthogonality is important here. Taylor series basis functions are not orthogonal, and nor are ReLUs.
Yep. I used to run NT 4 on a P3 550 with 128MB of Ram with an Adaptec 80MB/s SCSI hard disk and A Matrox Millennium video card. Adobe apps even launched almost instantly. Browsing the web with Netscape on our University LAN was super fast too.
> And even if you do agree on the spirit of the rules, they're still up for interpretation!

Yeah, exactly, I do think that's the point the site was trying to make.
I had the opposite. I ordered from amazon. Showed up from walmart... I left the review of 'you got me on the price arbitrage nice one!'
Is “No pornography” a rule? It doesn’t specify any prohibited action and on its own isn’t a complete thought, let alone a rule.

“I know it when I see it” was in reference to _hardcore pornography_, not obscenity. The Miller Test deals with obscenity perfectly well.
> there’s plenty that a regular employee can say or write in casual conversation that can be used as fodder in a lawsuit

Again, unless you're talking about illegal discrimination, I'd like to see the relevant court cases cited for this "fodder".

If companies are covering up illegal discrimination, it's not a conspiracy theory, it's simply a conspiracy.

Moreover, people are claiming or speculating that there are blanket company policies against job applicant feedback. I have yet to hear anyone confirm this from the inside. Are there also blanket company policies that you must "ghost" job applicants, as many companies do? And what's the "legal" reason for that?
See, I take a bit of a different view in the example you've given. Like, if I got rejected because I seemed "too excited about my personal side projects" I'd come away from that thinking "if that's really their take away, I'm kinda glad I don't work with them!"

You're right that the conversational interviews (just like any social gathering, really) have their own rules. But I think the most important thing you can do during those interviews is to just be yourself. After all, you want them to get to know you, just as you want to get to know them, right? How else can you each be sure that you're a good fit for each other? If they reject you for something you said that is true but that they just didn't like (e.g. a difference of opinion on something), or they nitpicked some little thing you said even though the rest of the conversation went smoothly ... well, in my opinion, you're better off.
You can find Deathwish coffee in many grocery stores these days (it’s in most Safeways) and it’s a blend of robusta and arabica beans. Way overpriced with cringey marketing and not the best tasting, but meets your criteria I think
A more obvious example is a pregnant woman, or a woman holding a baby. Both can reasonably be called “carrying a human”.

Another reason to include commit ids in the url when fetching files from external repos. I think you should do this anyways in case the external repo maintainer makes a change that silently breaks your build script
in this case we are talking about the comparative purchasing power between countries, so what metric(s) would you use for that?
I think that the rule, usually unstated, is: "it's o.k. if it doesn't make me look bad", or maybe "it's not a problem, if it's not a problem".

No no! That's gotta be Ghomainjacking, two buzzwords in one AND ghosts are waaay spookier! Phantoms evoke too much imagery of incels in masks, singing on boats.
No, but a virus suddenly showing up that was pre-adapted to replication in human bodies and didn't follow the usual zoonotic origin scenario of traceable series of mutations over time in both animal and human hosts, along with the sudden appearance of a furin cleavage site not found in any other relatives of said virus, points to (1) likely serial passage through human-gene-modified mice and human cell cultures and (2) CRISPR-related insertion of a human-like furin cleavage site into the adapted virus.

This kind of research is dangerous and the risks far outweigh any putative benefits. There are literally hundreds of mammalian viruses out in nature that pose zero risk to humans but which could be modified by these procedures to generate novel pandemic diseases with which the human immune system has had no prior experience.
Now the interesting question is, what would happen if I was to ask for the death penalty on a crime that does not carry the death penalty? Or only carries the death penalty in countries with legal systems that we object to, like Iran?
it has no wheels so it is just dragged, maybe behind a horse but people can drag them too. horses walk and carriages roll, so it's not really between them. it's the asymptotic limit as wheels shrink to zero.
The actual best way is to only have a small set of senior engineers who also are very good at talking about programming, and are good with people and interviewing specifically and have a history of trust and good judgment do all of the interviews where they have a lengthy conversation about past experience, technical topics, and maybe code a little together if they think they need to and just give them total authority to make the call. It might not be that scalable but it would work the best.

One nice thing about the 1986 Hinton paper was that he described the equations very explicitly in a way that even a math dummy like me could implement.

This article is also a very good explanation.
USB-C might be that DC standard. It is easy to install aftermarket AC outlet modules with an embedded transformer feeding a pair of DC sockets. One could easily imagine a house wired with such USB power outlets, lacking the AC sockets - they'd presumably be supplied by buck converters from some higher bus voltage, likely 48v.
I’ve had this with bulky purchases of items like cat litter (especially in the pandemic). It was pretty funny seeing the Walmart box show up and realising I’d been had (for a few bucks).
I don't think that's a "different opinion" at all! :-) I look at it the same way basically.
You know what they say about assumptions?
Name and shame on Glassdoor. I will skip companies that I can tell are a garbage fire of hiring or working
Agilebits at the end of the day is a company and it does things for financial reasons. Us, from the outside looking in, trying to assign a moral value to those actions won’t make sense.

They will go down that slope until going lower won’t make them any more money. Any money that they make from the sale of data will be profit on top of the 8/mo that they are currently getting.

If there are enough users, getting the legal and compliance stuff sorted might be worth it since that would be a one-off cost to create a whole new revenue stream.

Again, just making the case as to why they could do it, not why they should or will do it.
Not to take away from this app, but I’ve been using Mos https://mos.caldis.me for a couple of years now and it’s been just enough to mitigate the faults I had with default mouse settings in macOS.
Orcas are hooligans and have a culture with fads such as wearing dead salmon on their snouts. They are just having fun at the expense of us humans.

One of the primary uses for slack, in our org, is live support. Having people sitting around, waiting for timers to expire, could never be a benefit for us.
Another anecdote: my son wanted Pokémon cards and ordered them from Walmart.com. What a mistake. What arrived were obviously counterfeit garbage. So I checked the website. What he ordered had 1.2 stars and nearly every comment was about the cards being counterfeit. Surely, Walmart and their billions and billions of dollars could write some code to flag these situations and remove the product, right? Nope…it had a nice “Walmart recommends” sticker on the listing.

Moral of the story, avoid Walmart.com like the plague.
I have implemented my own slotmap crate for a lisp interpreter that uses no unsafe code and provides exactly the same features as the "standard" slotmap crate.

There is nothing inherent to the slotmap that requires unsafe code! It's only used for optimizations purposes.

Mine works in a similar way to the "standard" slotmap. It's a vec of slots, slot is an enum that can be occupied or vacant, the occupied variant is a two tuple containing the value and generation, vacant holds just a generation. Inserting into the slotmap simply switches the variant of the slot from vacant to occupied, and popping does the reverse. If there is no currently vacant slots, we just use the underlying push method on the vec of slots which will handle resizing for us! I also store a stack of indexes to vacant slots to make insertion fast.

When you insert into the slotmap, it provides a opaque key, but the data inside is an index and a generation. When you attempt to retrieve a value with a key, the slotmap checks if the slot is occupied and if the generation matches, and if so returns the value, otherwise returns none.

There is also a indirect slotmap, that adds an extra layer of indirection, so rather than the key being an index directly into the underlying vec of slots, its an index into a vec of indexes, this allows moving the slots around without invaliding currently living keys.

The indirect slotmap has the advantage of faster iteration, since it doesn't have to skip over empty "holes" of vacant slots in the vec of slots. The tradeoff is that insertion is slightly slower!

Anyways, no unsafe is required to implement a performant slotmap data structure! I have not uploaded my slotmap to crates.io because I didn't think anyone would find it useful, but maybe I should reconsider this!
Yeah but even then, why didnt FSD take evasive maneuvers to avoid the crash?
Why do you think DC to DC fast charging will be better than AC to DC fast charging? Both involve voltage conversion and the conversion has about the same efficiency. The one advantage is that could choose higher DC voltage, like 480V, and send more power on same wires. But that won't get you DC fast charging, will still take a couple hours to charge.

A lot of the things you are talking about will require conversion. LEDs will still need conversion from line voltage. Any incandescent lights will need AC conversion. The USB-C adapter will still exist, and there would no effect on charging speeds.

You can get most of the benefit by having DC power cables between the battery, solar panels, and inverter.
Personally I wouldn't call a wheelchair a vehicle for purposes of this question, but I think some people would call a wheelchair a vehicle, yes.

After all, bicycles are clearly vehicles, and bicycles and wheelchairs are both things with metal frames, wheels and seats designed to convey humans around under their own power.

Other than the placement of the wheels, the main difference is the character of its use.
I too got 11%. But I think it's actually emergent, not an error.
The Kestrel web server[0] is an example of a codebase that makes extensive use of C#'s unsafe functionality. UnmanagedBufferAllocator[1], for example, looks pretty similar to how you'd write it in C++.

> I have worked with people that absolutely use "safety" as a reason not to do anything, or as a reason to shoot down ideas from people they are competing against

this is literally the exact same argument used by the CEO before he and several others died due to it

he was so insulted that experienced and qualified personnel were just trying to shoot down his idea

even if you believe this is the case in a given hypothetic, it's still not a valid reason to take it as an attack on you as a person, vs. a concern about a thing

>I hope that this game has made you reconsider your views on content moderation.

why would this game even make me think of content moderation? When you brought it up yourself I felt suckered, realizing I'd been sucked into a poorly thought out yet somewhat politicized "bias test" masquerading as a "survey".
Was going to make the same comment. The entire BPS Space series of videos is excellent and goes into great detail on how it was done and the many challenges. To me, the BPS solution is also more interesting because it allows "throttling" (really variable deflection) of the solid rocket motor.
The idea of a renaissance period happening in Europe in the 1400s-1500s only came about starting in the 19th century, so to find a modern equivalent we’ll have to wait a few hundred years for future historians to judge. Who knows what pop culture from today will stand the test of time.
I would only take-home for interns from college, if anyone. High quality experienced hires will not do this because the market is such that no one subs take-homes for interviews; it's always in addition. They will simply say no, and you'll lose them. This is a classic example of a test that has adverse selection. You think by increasing the difficulty of hiring that you get better people, but actually you get worse people because the better people do not need to do this.

This also means something about the person running the test, though. They are not experienced enough in the engineering hiring pipe to know what to do (i.e. they are unable to differentiate good engineers from bad engineers) and either do not know or do not care about the adverse selection. This means their team is likely to be mostly mediocre engineers. You should pick it only if you need a job.

Essentially, the interview process is part of how you find out whether the team you're going to be working with is good. If you believe a certain process would not result in being able to differentiate a high-quality eng from a low-quality eng, and they're running that process: you should increase your likelihood that that firm contains many low-quality eng.

I don’t think you were had. You figured you could get what you wanted on Amazon and did so.

I feel this is no different from someone buying a wholesales box of something and then selling them individually. You could do that too, but you want the convenience of having only one can opener. So everybody wins.

This case seems analogous.

I see, so you've thought very hard about all the things I could be thinking of (all two of them!) and by sheer logical deduction you have arrived at the inescapable conclusion that I don't know what word embeddings are.

Unfortunately HN does not allow me to ignore users so I don't have to see their comments, so I'm just gonna stick this conversation in a little bookmark and when I see your username and it reminds me of something, I'll check that bookmark to make sure, and ignore what you say.

Wasted plenty of time as it is.
Seems to me like their Channel Servers pretty much does the work of what Cassandra would do, with Consistent Hashing and their Consistent Hash Ring Managers, although it's not detailed how the Channel Servers persist their data and if like Cassandra, they have replication to N Channel Servers. Looks like a specialized variant of how Cassandra works for their use-case, possibly without all the drawbacks of the underlying data structure Cassandra uses for persistence (SSTables), like needing exact ordering of clustering keys when performing queries or dealing with tombstones.

I could see these Channel Servers using something like SQLite for persistence, which would allow the full suite of SQL features without any of the drawbacks of CQL, of which there are many.

The blog post felt a bit high-level and lacking some technical/architectural details that would've given more insight, but nonetheless it was an interesting read!
I'm not sure why it seems intuitive to me that the external to internal pressure ratio would be the measure of force exerted... i.e. that 2psi vs 1 would have the same net force as 100 vs. 50. I guess it's wrong, hence the responses, but it's still bothering me. Like, it seems intuitive that twice the mass in the same volume should exert twice the force on the inside of the container. I don't completely understand my error. Yes there's still 299 more atmospheres outside, but it's only 150x the inner pressure.

I'm not willing to concede this yet, I'll need to watch some youtube demos of why I'm a dumbass. hah.

As far as decompressing the hull on ascent, I was imagining that if they were testing it by pulling vacuum in it (as mentioned above) there must be some kind of auxiliary air release port...?
Yeah why is that? Im curious, is HN moderated by FSB or something?
