> you're still going to get inequalities of outcomes

There is inequality in aptitude with respect to education. Forcing equality of outcomes is a design for crushing cruelty. Some people having good schooling is better than nobody in the name of equity. Pursuit of this policy is undermining public support for state-run schools.
> You're now changing that to "apps don't give you the benefits they promise - notably, calmness, clarity, a feeling of being organized".

My first comment.

> To-do list apps advertise certain benefits. If huge swaths of people don’t actually get the benefit, that’s the to-do list failing to live up to its promise, at least for that group.

Seems like pretty steady goal posts.

I think we’re focusing on different things, what’s possible versus what happens. It’s possible to have a chef’s knife made of wood and cut vegetables with it. It’s just probably a pretty awful knife.
Doesn't preclude being very deceptive with the facts.
It is hard to objectively measure the productivity of knowledge work, so people optimize the company's proxy metrics, and on persuading the people that are assessing their performance. And then there are companies where nobody is even trying because there are no incentives to improve; e.g., government offices, monopolies, etc.
I would assume they’re suggesting the company also has misaligned incentives
Add ed editor and I think I'd be happy with this config.
Came here to say the same thing. Progessivism, wokeism, etc are being hit by a propaganda campaign by the uber rich. Because they can't profit from the healthy public policies that people like me grew up under in the 80s and 90s. Before they got systematically undermined and replaced with whatever all this is.

If any young people out there are reading this and scratching their heads, let me offer a small piece of advice: if someone's argument hinges on generalizations against a group of people, it should give one pause.

Edit: I just made a generalization about the uber rich. Please, think of the uber rich. They suffer so.
Shameless plug: I've built the unofficial "Hide My Email" browser extension [0], available both in Firefox [1] and Chromium [2]. Tried to make it as frictionless as the Safari UX, which proved to be a challenge given the lack of native HME APIs.

> the engaged parents will drive school districts to implement good educational policies.

This assumes that it's actually possible for parents to override insulated bureaucrats whose heads are stuffed completely up their own derrieres.

Political hyper-polarization doesn't help either. If your local crazy-left school board abolishes merit in the name of equity, you could always replace them with crazy-right Republicans who believe the Earth is 6000 years old and Qanon is real.
Intentionally doing nothing.

Personal action has failed every year for decades. We need global co-ordinated action.

That won't happen as long as people (wrongly) believe they can fix this by buying a hybrid or doing meat-free mondays. In fact, I think many people are NOT supporting action in the hope OTHER people will solve it for them.

So I am refusing to do anything until the problem is actually taken seriously.
Vast undercount -- probably for every city. Commercial financing has convenants which require minimum occupancy, landlords are heavily incentivized to keep tenants on the books even if they're not actually using the space.

Know personally of startups in SF which have been discouraged from cutting their lease and paying a penalty so that the landlord can keep occupancy #s high. Of course, there are sweeteners involved to keep them "occupying" the space when in reality they moved out >6 months ago. They'll be in the space for years to come...

The context extending methods still hurt perplexity/quality some. The longer the base model is, the more effective the context extending finetunes/post training tricks will be.
Transportation is also essential. Why would we accept less going "private"?

As for not giving schools significantly more money for special ed, what is significant in your eyes?
Oh god, why am I about to defend zucc? Anyway this article seems to be 100% wrong.

1-5: True but not dark patterns. Yes they are using the IG user base to bootstrap the threads user base. So what? Was it a dark pattern when google came out with docs and everybody already had an account?

6: Come on, threads asks for permission to send notifications just like every other app, and sends them at a very normal frequency for a social app, in fact if anything a bit less than IG, twitter, etc. Just say no when it asks for permission. Not a dark pattern.

7: Also not a dark pattern. Yes I'm sure the app reported that I liked a picture of a prothonotary warbler to the facebook ad targeting mainframe. Senator, we run ads.

8: As far as I can tell completely wrong. Threads doesn't have access to my location, health data, or financial data?!

9: Right, you can't use threads unless you have threads. Your FOMO is not a dark pattern.

10: False, there is a read-only website. It is very limited but it supports permalinks to threads, and from there you can navigate to user profiles, other threads, etc.

11: Not even wrong, just speculation.
> No parent should be stuck without options when educational governance goes sideways like this.

You say this, but what you actually mean is no wealthy parent should be stuck without options.

The hoi polloi that can't afford the voucher plus mountain of money private school tuition will still be quite stuck without options, except that you've also created an explicit two-class system.

I hear those do wonders for social cohesion. As will opening a firehose of money into the insane fundamentalist indoctrination that so many parents wish to inflict on their children, but can't in public school.
I dunno--if you want to see America's mental illness problem on full, public display, just do a YouTube search for "school board meeting outrage". It's great when concerned, non-ideological, rational parents show up to have a voice in how the school is run, but the flip side of that coin is ugly, belligerent, and counter-productive.
And if you could fix the system, it would have been fixed by now. If you have a kid today, you have 5-6 years to fix the system before it starts failing them. Your kid will be grown before any meaningful change is made, and any harms caused by the current system will be fully baked in.

If you have money, you have an escape hatch right now. Vouchers make that escape hatch available to more people.

Public education doesn't have to mean public schools.
> where's the incentive for a government to give you vouchers to spend on non-governmental education, directly taking away funding from the schools the same government is responsible for managing

The schools are there for the kids. They aren't cattle to be used as a commodity input to a jobs and spending program.
Whoa. Are you my coworker? Are you ME?
There will be finetunes for other languages just like LLaMAv1
I’m confused, your comment talks about schools and the government making parents the enemy and being anti-parent but your linked articles are about parents making threats over things like Covid mask policies. What exactly is your point?

It very much depends on what stuff you're talking about. Consumption and QoL are only loosely correlated. If we have a culture that values status signalling, everyone may might work harder to afford status signalling without any real benefit to their quality of life. Efficiency of consumption matters. The relationship between dollars spent to degree of life improvement is nowhere close to 1:1. Some purchases pay dividends in that sense while others come with hidden costs and fleeting benefits.

I think this is just for some site focussed at promoting Sweden's image to foreigners? I don't think I've ever seen this font in use in normal communications from the Swedish state, living here in Sweden.

I like the Swedish Tax Agency's design language, if it can be called that. I don't think they use this Sweden Sans, but I'm not sure what they do use.
I did eventually switch back to Firefox in ~2018 after they jettisoned their legacy cruft and got fast again (I don't know the technical specifics).
It sounds to me like there may have been an intermediate step, which was for little billy to be enrolled in some sort of third party course as a catch-up / qualifier for enrollment in the advanced class, and the district not accepting that.
You've just described a technical director, so it is no surprise that he was promoted.
I would love to have my own habitable storage unit in downtown SF. 200sqf, air vents, no windows, shared bathroom with shower.

It would be great as a base while traveling. I could visit between changing flights, and swap some of my gear. Occasionally I would sleep there.
I spend more than my fair share of time in AWS consoles. My company uses multiple accounts to segregate data and services were appropriate, and container tabs let me have several consoles open at once when I need them. That's such a wonderful productivity boost over having to have multiple browsers open.
> What's your solution to stop runaway education costs in this 'voucher first' world?

This assumes a lot of facts not in evidence. In general schools that accept vouchers generally operate on much smaller per-student budgets (especially if you include the capital budget -- buildings and facilities) than public schools do. In many voucher states, the public school gets some level of funding for a student even a parent gets a voucher and sends their child somewhere else.
As in compiled languages are usually low level languages that require some amount of memory management. So in C++, I have to worry about integer overflow. In Rust, I have to worry about how I return a variable or where a variable can still be used.

In JavaScript, I return whatever I want and the garbage collector handles it. Slower, but perfectly fine when my servers main job is waiting. Using Rust instead is not just "better errors," it's more potential for errors. If CPU cycles aren't important for my app, why not just use Typescript? Rust is not just "JavaScript but with better errors," it's targeting a completely different use case.

If you want a fast, multi threaded language with a good type system, you can do it without Rust. C# is extremely fast, and in some use cases, faster than Rust.
I have no doubt that a lot of the economy is built on bullshit jobs, but most people do at least "some" work. It might not be necessary for our survival, but I'd like to think human society has moved beyond that.

Still, I'd love to see some kind of UBI and acknowledgement that working isn't completely necessary for the entire population if you just want to live.
I use Firefox on my phone, it's the only one that allows me to block popups/ads/autoplay videos and disable javascript via add-ons when I need to, and the web is pretty much unusable without being able to do that now. Who cares if it's faster if you can't even load the content without it blocking your view with popups and trying to play videos without your consent before crashing?
There are still some grammar schools, but they are badly distributed, because it’s based on political views from past ages. For example, the city of Southend in Essex has about 7000 grammar school places. Entire counties of Norfolk and Suffolk have none.
As long as we're using our imaginations, I'm genuinely curious how much NIMBYism would come into play when trying to retool downtown into primarily residential towers.

Historically it's been a huge issue in other neighborhoods, where current homeowners are loath to approve more housing since it would drag down their property values. But I have to imagine that SF's downtown has drastically fewer homeowners per-square-mile (at least compared to, say, Sunset or Pacific Heights or the Marina).

Yes SF's approval process is a hellscape of regulatory hurdles, but given the lack of homeowners in the area, I wonder if the approval process would go at least a smidge more smoothly?

Actually, who am I kidding- some other interest group would probably take their place.
How much longer do you think property managers can hold out?
So, if one kid gets more parental attention and devotes more effort in studying than peers of the same income level and means, that is "privilege"?
I think that part of the problem is that I have no idea what values you are talking about that don't match society/parents.

That is to say: I'm a leftist and I'm worried about schools indoctrinating kids into a whitewashed, anti-LGBTQ+, jingoistic understanding of the world. However, I'm sure there are Republican parents that are concerned about kids being indoctrinated into a "woke" understanding of the world.

I don't know how you manage things when you have the country split down the middle with two completely separate worldviews.
One of the key problems in the US funding system is that population clustering effects will cause exacerbating effects where people of increasingly similar socioeconomic and cultural strata all stick together - of course this will cause rising inequality and unequal outcomes. The people living in the gated communities fund their local school primarily, not the poor one on the other end of the street that can't get or retain teachers there besides from ideologically driven sources like Teach for America because students are absolutely horrible when coming from poverty-stricken homes that use public education as a meal program while the working poor parents do 12+ hour shifts frequently.

The funding structure of every other thing in the US is totally backwards and so unless we solve cultural problems like xenophobia and tribalism we will be unable to solve socioeconomic ones. As such, I have basically zero faith that the US will last another 20 years in any recognizable form as a liberal democracy.
> Unless you [...] provide them transportation, you're still going to get inequalities of outcomes.

I think you're letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Rich people buy homes near good schools. Poor people live in homes they can afford next to bad schools. Removing the option for poor parents to drive their kids is not equity. Its damnation.

I live in a state where you can _pay_ (yes not a voucher - you PAY) to attend a school outside your district. I knew several poor families which took advantage. I don't know of a single middle-class family which did the same.

Not a scientific study. But it seems to me totally excluding the possibility of going to a better school is not kindness or progress or equity. Infantilizing poor people who "don't have time to drive" is silly. Some don't but there's always car pooling. When you're desperate you make it work.
> It is difficult to find words to describe how bad this idea is without descending into abject rudeness.

I think it's worth it in this case. You have to be an absolute moron or someone with a sinister agenda to think that decreasing the standard helps the community in any way. Especially idiotic to call this "progressive".
They may not be more trustworthy, but if using content in training data is not fair use then you'll at least have a stronger legal case. I don't think meta tags are necessary, but including the meta tag and a copyright in the text makes it very hard for the LLM trainer to claim ignorance (not that this is a defense anyways, but again, it gives you a strictly stronger hand and the brazenness may impact damages.)
I got myself a fancy job at Spotify. It was a dream come true, or so I thought. I couldn’t believe how many meetings I had to be in each day. I couldn’t believe how little autonomy I had or how much time I had to devote to preparing (months in advance) for performance reviews. I also couldn’t get over how many middle managers had a chip on their shoulder about the idea that “technical” work might have equal value to management work at a tech company.

I became a contractor and that’s where I realised the true programmer dream. I just cycle between collecting requirements & analysis and writing code. I spend maybe 2-3 hours in meetings per week, just to aim the cannons, as it were.
Sorry, I was just kidding (but it wasn't obvious at all). My bad :)
Disagree--you're talking about patent-driven development, not lawyer-driven development.

Some among us work with it, or have friends or family who work with it. I imagine it is one of those.
This just is a total misunderstanding of what's being proposed, and a hamfisted excuse to dress up reactionary stupidity as a defense of "Math". The changes aren't "refusing to teach kids math", they are a better approach to math. Modern approaches emphasize number sense (aka actual understanding) over formulas. Algebra has historically been a kind of gatekeeping in middle school between kids who plug in the formulas vs the kids who "arent good at math". Neither of these outcomes are positive for learning.

In general we need deeper foundational knowledge beyond memorization of notation. True math understanding enables students to independently discover common formulas rather than deploy them from rote.

Noahpinion doesn't begin to speak to this, and is in fact a moron.
Public education system is definitely a positive thing that most of us will pay taxes for.

However when public education is not guided by improving meaningful outcomes, but by ideologues, it needs to be checked. Vouchers sounds like a good way to insert some market dynamics and to allow parents to walk away from schools that are on the path to fail to prepare their kids for the future.

My son is currently is in public elementary school here in Bay Area. If this idiocy persists, i dont believe i will keep him in non-STEM focused public school and will seek out better education for him that i will need to pay out of pocket.

I can afford it, but those who are less fortunate will remain trapped and thats a travesty of CA public education
They really softballed the chastising in this video. Dirty bench full of other objects, including a beaker of... something? If the aluminum had landed somewhere else we could have had a bunch of other stuff going on here.

No education requirements for private schools is one way they aren't superior. I would pose that segregation would be the other way private schools aren't superior.
most test kits properly instruct you on this, but you can dissolve your entire dose, or the entire batch, in water, test that, then either consume like that or let the water evaporate

in other words, testing a portion doesn't consume that portion, so you can literally test and then consume the same dose

stay safe
It's a complete straw man argument. Nobody believes that it's better to dumb down education, but that's not what's happening here. Very specifically, they are replacing middle school algebra with a data sciences class. The idea is that the data science stuff would be more practical and get people interested in math more than algebra, which is a more abstract. It doesn't sound completely crazy to me.
I was this colleague to my first CTO, was amusing back then and I didn't get it. Today I do the same and my pinky loves me. I also use a US layout on Scandinavian keyboard, it's fun watching people scratch their heads.
"that you're not only worthy of keeping the job, but also why you deserve that 4% raise."

I once 'earned' a 4% raise at a perf review in July. Was then was told because I only started in January that year, my raise - affecting the pay going forward - was prorated to how long I'd worked already, so .. I only get 50% of the 4%, so... 2% raise.

Felt far more manipulative and shady than if I'd just been given a 2% raise.

I've looked into this extensively and there are essentially four options:

1. Self-host on a reputable VPS provider. Deliverability is usually not a problem if your provider actually takes action against spammers on their network. They tend to work pretty hard to keep up the reputation of their IP space. I have self-hosted my own email for well over a decade on providers like these with no serious issues. It's not generally too hard to test the reputation of an IP/domain before putting it into production.

2. You can use a dedicated SMTP relay service, but these are usually quite expensive and their customers tend to be bulk email senders for blasting out marketing wank. You probably don't want your domain to be associated with these anyway.

3. Another option is to buy a full-fledged email account from any of the common providers and just use their SMTP servers. (Make sure to set your SPF records appropriately.) Not expensive but typically far from free. And it seems silly to self-host your mail if you're literally paying a company to provide the same service...

4. This is less "self-hosted" but the cheapest and most reliable way to get your email out is to sign up for a cloud account at any of the major providers and just use their SMTP relays. Most will allow you to send from outside their network, after proper authentication is set up. Unless your monthly email volume is north of 4 figures, it will likely be free or cost pennies per month.

Don't forget that amongst email providers reputation is a thing, and if you go out and purchase a domain, it may be some time before you can actually use it. Lots of providers specifically penalize domains younger than X months old, they will "graylist" IPs that haven't talked to them before, and a few will flat-out blacklist entire gTLDs known to be heavily used by spammers.
