I work on the Obsidian team and we use Sync internally to manage the development of Obsidian. In other words we dogfood it. There are definitely improvements to be made, especially in giving visibility to other members of the team about the latest changes vault-wide.

I agree with nivertech that you might find a Git-based workflow more robust though because you would have full version control, but it does require a bit more technical know-how.
Im having trouble reconciling these numbers with with total spending in California. Does it include local and federal funding?

The California department of education puts[1] per pupil k-12 spending at 23K, almost double that listed in the census.

>The total overall funding (federal, state, and local) for all K–12 education programs is $124.3 billion, with per-pupil spending of $21,596 in 2021–22. For 2020–21, per-pupil funding increased from $16,881 in the 2020–21 Budget Act to $23,089 in the 2021–22 Budget Act.

There is a minimum state funding of $13,976, which is pretty close to the census numbers. There could also be a difference due to comparing the 2023 CA budget to 2019 census data, but a near doubling in 4 years seems pretty extreme.

Some off-the-cuff tips, at least --

TDD is very easy with Python because the unit testing framework is built in -- I'd suggest writing tests for just about everything you do.

Additionally, the typing system is expanding all the time. Make sure you're adding type annotations where / when you can; even lightweight ones like TypedDict help.
I am not aware of an option that "catches everything", in any langauge.
Yes. In Iain M. Banks’s Culture, even the guns are generally intelligent.

That's a somewhat one-sided view. For gaming and entertainment, yes, people would do it anyway, since it's just fun, but these do not contribute much useful information to the collective consciousness anyway. Hobbies & creative communities will also survive.

OTOH, there are also plenty of technical blogs full of advanced content that is not "fun" to produce on its own, that are written to interact with a community of professionals (or juniors), and that might wither if engagement with actual human beings is reduced.

These articles are mostly promoting bitcoin as a viable currency for people in desperate situations, and yes, possibly, if you are in an extreme situation like being extorted by someone with ransomware, or in a place where your government is falling apart or targeting you as a criminal, you might have some reason to use cryptocurrency in this way. But since it does such a terrible job as a currency (extremely inefficient, slow, and irreversible transactions, price volatility, no intrinsic value, etc) it should really always be a choice of last resort.

>The problem we have as a species is that we’ve been so effective at optimisation that we have eliminated the need for anyone to exist. A few farmers can feed the country. A few automated production lines could produce the goods.
But then all the other people would starve to death. So we just keep on making jobs to put them in. It gets further and further away from reality the further down the hole we go.

I understand it to be hyperbole but the point that as a rough estimate only at most 1/10th of the available work force is actually "needed" in a developed country to "function" is probably accurate. From a late 19th/early 20th century capitalist pov the optimization point was reached somewhere in the 60s/70s. The problem is we have inherited and institutionalized how to "provide for oneself" from a long gone era.

If the goal was - metaphorically speaking - to reach the West Coast from the East Coast; this kind of capitalism had done a fairly good job until the 70s or so. By no means perfect but at least somewhere in the ballpark of a right trajectory.

Atm however we are past the west coast somewhere at the edge of our outer solar system lost in the Oort cloud. Remarkable engine indeed but way off course. And because it is so confusing out here (e.g. global financial market 10x bigger than world's GDP witnessed by all in 2008) in the vast 2.7 K cold nothingness of uber-optimization, the goal of wealth distribution (participation in the market) to the levels of say the 70s seems futile and utterly romantic - a long forgotten pale blue dot of paradisiacal opportunities. Even if the propulsion system which took us way out here is proof of the exact opposite in principle. Nobody has to starve to death as in "natural law" because of a conceptual eternal idea of how a certain kind of economics which was very successful at some time period (and ultimately had won the Cold War) has to work. But people really indeed do in the millions. It is just a sad state of affairs, still.

... but yet some dream to eventually reach Alpha Centauri with this good old machine: "We are halfway there, look, you can even "see" it."

Potentially messing about with whether you have Java 8, 11 or 17 installed which saddens me to mention. But if you are into Java, you have them all installed already, and just need to make sure the right one is activated when you do the above steps.
My problem with Firefox's password manager is there doesn't seem to be a way to export/import to/from an encrypted file that I can back up to other places. I can export to an unencrypted text file (and no apparent way to import again), or I can use their sync service (or run my own maybe?), or I can backup the entire firefox profile.

This is what Firefox says when I go to export my logins: "[!] Your paswords will be saved as readable text (e.g., BadP@ssw0rd) so anyone who can open the exported file can view them."

KeePassXC on the other hand gives me a simple encrypted database file that I can copy around to different places for some peace of mind.

Presumably suspend your partner in crimes transaction receipt is printed walk away. Partner slips you some money later.

Solution: don't hire scummy people, pay enough that you can afford decent folks, watch for a friend that always comes to a certain cashier especially while alone, watch for cashier being nervous when observed, watch for partner to break off transaction if observed, "forget card", or return goods shortly.

It's also obviously trivial to catch with the receipt but they will probably refuse to show it. A transaction log will also trivially show it if matched with register and time.

Anyone could potentially get away with this once but any dishonest person is going to want to do this repeatedly.

There is basically no excuse for not catching this as a manager and I see no reason to deny associates this useful feature.
There used to be xbookmarks.com but it is long gone. There is an open source tool by the name of XBrowserSync [1] which came up when I searched for xbookmarks. What they say on their website sounds promising, but I did not do any further research or try it out. I'm on Firefox on all my devices ;)

This is actually a good point; I had not considered that the equality that people are trying to achieve here is equality between races. And if that's what you're interested in, surely that's what you need to track.

I'm sorry for your friend; that situation sounds like a very odd mix of empowering (having the data — albeit after drilling) and deeply discriminatory and marginalising.

Over here we do actually have at least some of the race inequality problems, but we're putting much less emphasis on them. The approach has advantages but clearly also disadvantages. Thanks for the thought-food.

Erlang, frankly, has a lot of problems. The first major thing I used Go to do in the 1.4-1.6 era was to migrate my multi-year production Erlang system to Go, and I never looked back.

Somehow Erlang gets this special dispensation where people get to talk about it as if it's still 2005 and it's still this unique and interesting snowflake with virtually no competition. Which it was... back then. But having successfully convinced the world that there's an interesting space there, in 2023 there's a ton of options and the point in that space Erlang staked out isn't actually that interesting or unique when you measure it by 2023 instead of 2005.
I suspect that 'liberals believe "Everyone is born equally capable"' is a strawman. I hang out with pretty liberal people and no one actually believes anything like this. Interestingly, the article actually lists out a more nuanced, realistic version of this idea (with a link to research):

> But whatever you think about the morality of this idea, it simply will not work. The reason is that the strong hereditarian hypothesis is wrong; practically all kids are educable, with the proper investment of resources.

And we're talking about high school educational attainment here, not world-class achievement. To use a fitness analogy, not everyone has the anatomy to be a world-class deadlifter. But pretty much everybody can get to deadlifting 1x/1.5x their (healthy) bodyweight with some training.

Makes a lot of sense to me if you look at the examples, and think of all the wacky things people will try to do with video because they think they know that branding means "stick the logo in the video somewhere".

It's adding consistency to the presentation and harmonizing with any accompanying non-motion graphic styles, as you might see in a cultural presentation environment with both packaging/signage and video or interactive elements for example.

Show HN: YouTube Transcript Cleaner and Reader Tool
I made this little self-hosted tool to scratch an itch I had-- I often want to check out long YouTube videos, but they are very slow and I can read much faster than I can listen to something. But I couldn't find a good way to do this without a lot of effort and waiting.

I know there are various tools that use OpenAI's Whisper to generate transcripts for YouTube videos, but they take forever to run and the output isn't very nice to read. YouTube already has quite good automatic transcripts for most videos, but the problem is that they are also not really formatted to read easily.

I discovered that there is a good free Chrome extension to extract the official YouTube transcript as text to your clipboard (link to the extension is in the readme in my repo), but that just gets you plain text with awkward line breaks.

So this little html file can be saved to your local computer and opened in Chrome. Then you just go to the video you want, get the entire transcript in your clipboard using that Chrome extension, and paste it into my tool and click the button to clean it. It takes a couple seconds to run (since it's using a heavy library to determine the optimal line breaks) but then you can view it in a nice little reader mode that makes it quite pleasant. Hopefully people will find it useful.

Oh, and the most interesting part of all this from my perspective is that ChatGPT wrote basically all of it from scratch in around an hour or so-- I only had to glue together some code and give feedback. I shared a link to the ChatGPT conversation in the readme file so you can see how I was able to do this step by step.

"reinforcement learning offers objectively better optimization"

I don't follow. Linear programming (with the simplex method) finds the optimal solution set for any linear program eventually. How can reinforcement learning be "better" apart from efficiency?
It's incredibly irresponsible of you to make such a claim that in-a-way justifies ban. How does that make any sense? I also don't see how this could be used in funeral industry.

There are numerous (countless) ways how you can use this technology in a reasonable manner in any industry. Let's try nuclear industry:
- new fusion technology research (LLMs are already used for protein folding)
- energy production estimation
- energy consumption estimation
- any kind of analytics or data out of those
-...

No, they don't. They didn't before generics and they do even less now.

You can tell this is an accusation thrown around by non-Go programmers because frankly, throwing around a lot of interface{} was always really inconvenient. It's not something the language trains you to do... it's something you get punished for, really quite hard.

In most of Europe we have gymnasiums (advanced secondary) and lyceums (advanced high) schools, while primary is "just school" and the same for everyone. After primary education, usually 4 years, entry exams are held at gymnasiums, which have a lot of profiles (PhysMath, ChemBio, Philology etc, mine was Informatics), and those talented enough to pass them are transferred there, while the majority is filtered out and stays in "just schools". After secondary education (4 more years) people could get their high school level education at their "just school" or gymnasium, or either go to lyceum (requires exams) or college (as well). Lyceums are usually for those who aim at doing science at universities, and colleges for those for whom associate's degree is good enough (like me). What is really useful is that with associate's degree people could admit to the 3rd year of university of related profile to get their bachelor's in usually 2 more years. The profitable outcome of such a system is that everybody gets treated depending on their ability, resources are spent effectively and least common denominator doesn't sinks talents. Btw all of those are totally free, so no "social class" advantages are held by anyone. Maybe it's time for US to have gymnasiums and lyceums as well?
