They don’t really do this any more. In spite of the stereotype, only a tiny proportion of Spanish workers still takes a siesta, while otherwise the tradition has died out and schedules are just like in any other European country. It would be interesting to see if climate change eventually restores the tradition to life.
Going back to the trans example, the attempts of Canada to pass compelled speech laws (and Michigan may have tried this recently too) would fall under left wing authoritarian practices imo.

https://www.tumblr.com/foone/721395638537961472/i-see-people... remains the best take on Brave that I've seen.

"I see people talking about the Brave browser in the whole Firefox vs chrome debate, and while people rightly point out that it's just chromium and that they do shady cryptocurrency shit, I never see anyone point out that Brave's founder and CEO is Brandan Eich.

"He founded Brave after massive protests against him becoming CEO of Mozilla, resigning after 11 days. And the reason for those protests? He donated a lot of money to the Prop 8 campaign to ban gay marriage.

"So just remember: it's not just another chromium fork, it's not just a browser with cryptocurrency bullshit, it's also the browser founded by a homophobe because he got kicked out of his former organization for being a homophobe.

"Also, he invented Javascript. I'm willing to believe that maybe he has grown on the gay marriage issue, and made amends for his former mistakes. But Javascript cannot be forgiven."

Paraphrasing other comments I've seen: those "debaters" have leapt straight from "There isn't a climate problem" to "It's too late to do anything," bypassing the pesky "We should do something about it" stage.

There's a lot of wiggle room. Sometimes a font designer will even throw in a single serif because hey--this is also an emotive art. Or maybe for a specific reason due to the project spec.

When I used to teach typography in the 2000s, sometimes students would point this out. Or as an example of a beginner's lesson, they'd use a font without really examining it, and some detail about the font would catch them out later.

It's weird but most people pick fonts without really thinking about the font itself, or even reading its name, let alone examining it. They are thinking about their design, their thoughts & feelings, their message, their amazing design opportunity, or whatever.

Skilled designers need to be trained to think about whether they're basically hallucinating the purpose of the font, as a few seconds of inspection will often make the original purpose really obvious. To people who learn how this works, it becomes just that obvious why those slab serifs might be in there.

While I disagree with the RL assertion without a source, linear programs are convex, so local optima are global optima.

However, unless there is some aspect of the problem which is not known (e.g., you don’t exactly know the objective or constraints), so you model it as a distribution over LPs, I really don’t know how RL will help you. Gradient-based methods can give you improvements if your problem is very large scale and doesn’t have, e.g., sparse structure, but the above claim is bold.

I like this effort to understand/summary of the other side in good faith (even though one can believe math education is important).

I think way of rationalizing it is that there are some parents that feel that orchestra, art exploration, debate, sports or <insert subject/extracurricular of choice> at the collegiate level. After all, many students excel at these and could get into an Ivy league/Big 10 college based on their performance in these subjects. At one point a district may decide to offer collegiate level coursework to students.

Then funding dries up and cuts need to be made. Which courses should be kept and which should be cut and how should resources be allocated is a real question.

Perhaps competitive math courses or multivariate calculus should be considered an "after school extracurricular" similar to the many after school extracurricular sports programs and schools should just focus on providing basic "PE level equivalent" math.

> Average IQ is very different between races

Wow, I thought we left this nonsense back in the 1960s. Study after study shows that every additional confounding factor you account for lessens this supposed difference. Nutrition, health, environment, socioeconomic status, cultural attitudes toward learning, implicit bias in the IQ tests themselves, blood lead levels, iodine levels; race is confounded with hundreds of variables. The more of those you hold constant, the less you see any difference in racial averages. I suspect people who still spout this nonsense know this, and/or don't care.
Same for us.

We both have money left on our own accounts to use however we want.

It's almost like when people first started buying really fancy DSLRs with no other training, and took a lot of magazine-quality amateur photos.

SD raises the bar a little though-- it trained on a large body of professional images, so generating anything non-fantastic is probably going to be framed and composed half-decently.

If you are doing ~4 bit quantization, a good rule of thumb is just under 1 Gigabyte per 1B parameters, plus a little room for the operating system.
Longer contexts require a bit more VRAM.

For reference, 4 bit LlamaV1 33B fits snugly on a 24GB GPU with 2K context with the exLLaMA backend. But it won't do really long inputs.

Llama.cpp is pretty much the only backend that can offload to CPU efficiently. Its still quite fast and offers very flexible 3-5 bit quantization, with the leanest 3 bit quant just barely fitting LlamaV1 33b on my 6GB + 16GB laptop.
I've hired, worked with, and managed Dev Advocates at different open source software companies (working with Apache CouchDB, Apache Flink, and projects). They are really valuable and are an important part of awareness raising, user adoption, user retention, and technical recruiting.

A few thoughts:
1 - I think it's good to focus some of them on developer (user) acquisition and some on developer retention. The former are more evangelical - social, talks, demos, content that attracts new users. The latter focus on the user experience (UX feedback, docs, issue resolution, community support, how-to vids, etc.) to make sure new users become and remain active with the software. Both are critical to adoption and growing word of mouth.

2 - Dev Advocates can own the open source contributor experience! Recruiting, welcoming, recognizing new contributors is a great thing to see happen. It's an easy thing to overlook with companies placing so much emphasis on user acquisition. It's important for community goodwill building and expanding the network of external advocates.

3 - Make sure the executive team understands the breadth of Dev Advocate responsibilities. It can get tense if they only expect talks and blog posts.

That's my 2 cents...it's a big question!

So if a kid is being bullied for learning to read, the answer is to stop teaching them to read? Is that really your suggestion?

And by the way, the statement "Some kids are educatable. Some are not." also comes from a sub-culture that is aggressively anti-intellectual.
I had a long rant written up the first time I saw this article and deleted it. Came back to it and saw this and it made me want to reply. Not to say anything groundbreaking either except that I'm going through something similar now with my daughter. She has a rare genetic disorder and funny enough, we're also heading to CHOP soon (we're in touch with Elaine Zackai) to get some guidance.

I didn't realize everyone with these types of syndromes were being funneled to the same place. Hope you guys are doing alright. We might even bump into each other.
So shouldn't the solution be to get kids from lower economic groups into those classes? Rather than stop teaching anyone?

The solution you're proposing takes away any chance of accessing these advanced classes for lower economic groups, and keeps the economic inequality moving.

What happens when the low income kids test out of the remedial class? Oh well, they're just done with school then?

Twitter's doing very poorly right now, financially speaking. Musk & team are working on adding new features: long form video hosting, long form text, encrypted messaging, P2P video conferencing, payments, and I think he's planning to incorporate A.I. somehow. They're starting to pay top content creators. Some of this is done, some is in the pipeline. They're accomplishing it with 20% of the previous headcount.

It seems to me Twitter's being run these days by an entrepreneur who's trying hard to figure out ways to make it a profitable operation.

If you can't tell which site is open, that's likely due to Chrome's poor tab UX. Constantly shrinking the click target makes tabs harder to work with. Not being able to read the tab title doesn't help either. Thus, Chrome incentivizes people to close tabs.

With vertical tabs, you don't have this problem. Every tab is the same width, making them easier to interact with. You'll need to vertically scroll the list if it gets too large, but that's a natural enough action. In this situation, you now close tabs because you want to, not because the browser is strong-arming you into it.

Where things really get fun is with vertical tabs that track ancestry, like Tree Style Tabs or Firefox or what's built into Orion. These tabs will nest as you follow links from one page to another, capturing context.

HN is a perfect example of where this works well. I can go to the home page, see a few stories that look interesting, open each comment page as a child tab. Then on each child I can open the associated article. And, as I read the comments, I can open new links that look interesting and that page is now associated with the root story.

I could bookmark all of these pages, but short of creating folders for each story there's no good way to capture that context. Naturally, that makes it harder to restore the same state when opening bookmarks. Instead, I leave the tabs open and when I'm ready to take an action on them (read an article, make notes in Obsidian, bookmark into a topic of interest) I do so and then I close them out. It makes context switching much easier when I know I'm not going to lose the context I just left. As an added benefit, I find if I leave tabs open I get better use of the browser cache than I do if I close an open later from a bookmark.
You can run it yourself in koboldcpp, but you need to get the chat syntax just right.

> More precisely, why 100 tabs in 1 window instead of 10 tabs times 10 windows?

I still don't understand why some people believe that the correct answer is anything other than 100 windows.

My platform has 40 years of well refined tools for managing windows, all of which work nicely and consistently across all applications. By comparison, all of the tab management systems are crude amatuerish knockoffs trying to reinvent the same tools from first principles, and isolated to a single application that's then inconsistent with everything else.
We haven't open sourced it, but we are planning to write a deep dive on how we built the index and how the search service works.
One other possibility is that I know what scroll lag is, don't see it in Firefox on my devices, and you really don't want to accept that for some reason. So much so you double-down on your out-of-the-blue speculation about my mental state. People also have petit mal seizures, and that could also explain not seeing lag. Or perhaps an eye problem. Or maybe I'm a paid shill for Mozilla. Why not propose these as well? It would make just as much sense, and reflect just as poorly on you.
