That is to say, Discord's search actually works. It may not work great, but it will find all posts containing the word "dog" when you search for it. The search in windows explorer, on reddit and on most forums will often fail to find an item even if you search for its exact name. Last I tried it, windows explorer couldn't find a file in the folder I was already viewing. It's impressive.

> You are supposed to drive your car on the streets that we build specifically for driving cars.

These types of statements illustrate the lack of cognition the average person employees versus parroting words. This superficial and attempted tautological sounding argument just speaks about how we have not gotten critical thinking education right.

And roads built for cars just so happen to be the legally mandated place to ride bikes in many locals.

Of course roads build with only considering car travel and no secondary effects are optimized for cars over bikes. That’s exactly the problem, not a point in the favor of cars or for driving cars.

I hate this. Honestly, I'd love to see short papers. Just cite what is relevant and not much else. But I see citations exploding. Look at this paper[0], it is 34 pages in total and 5.5 of those are the bibliography! It has almost 100 references! ~14 pages are images (not figures... images). Nearly an entire page worth of material is just the citations! Not the text referencing the citations, but the citations themselves. It is absolute chaos.

No, this isn't a survey paper. So it is serving no purpose other than greasing their peers.

Another good book in this vein is "Turn the ship around!": https://davidmarquet.com/turn-the-ship-around-book/

Which is written by a navy submarine captain, about how he turned one of the lowest performing crews into a high performing crews that went on to become leaders elsewhere.

It really spoke to helping align motivation, and making a path forward for success, which actually is somewhat easier in the military because much of the career progression is study/competency based (at least around submarine tasks). This well defined progression is less so outside the military, which I think is why we see so much job hopping.

> Our schools like to talk about perseverance/grit/etc. a lot, but when it comes down to it they don’t care enough to give students work that requires it.

Well, they care, but just not about the students who are already excelling (and already bringing up test score averages). I've got a kid in elementary school, and it's pretty evident most of the school's resources are spent on the worst-performing kids, leaving the smarter ones bored and unchallenged. Yea, it was like this too when I was in grade school in the '80s, but it seems much worse today.

If your kid is reading or math-ing beyond grade level, they're just going to get ignored and handed straight-A's while the teachers desperately spend all their time getting Donny Dumbass to at least stop screaming all day and eating crayons. There's no gifted program or tracking/segregating by ability anymore. I guess those are bad for "equity".
On the contrary, not south centric at all (note my spelling of neighbourhood!) - I lived in southwestern Ontario for most of my life and now live in southeastern BC.

I just cannot imagine feeling oppressed by the shade from trees.
The sentiment that having money makes one "above" a form of transit is a bit despicable, but it absolutely is the case. I think particularly with public transit.

This is a very hard problem. If you base your response on a text that has been returned from a vector DB you can reference this text. But if you rely on a citation generated directly from the LLM is probably impossible to reliably guarantee the source is real. I guess if it’s a link you can check if it’s actually a real link, scrape the content and do some extra trickery to figure out if it contains the text produced by the LLM but I’ve never tried this myself.
Careful note taking, keeping your head and identifying contingent and similar arguments such that you don't have to spend tons of time on each counterpoint, prioritizing offensive ("your claim X actually supports my side, not yours, because Y", aka. turns) rebuttals over defensive ones, and not spending undue time on weaker claims that the judge is likely to doubt as well.

There's a lot more you can do, but those are some pretty uncontentious strategies.

> homeschooling can leave a big social gap.

I've been around and tutored way too many homeschoolers to give this a pass. If by "gap" you mean they behave in a more adult fashion, sure. There is a gap between the independence and social progression of homeschoolers and the nature of your average trend following high schooler.

Saying that homeschooling creates backwards kids is just a form of continued bullying.
Mastodon is federated though. I follow and am followed by tons of folks from other instances, so it doesn't feel like I'm locked in.

> Have you spent much time in the US?

I have not, which is why I asked. The commenter I replied to suggested that the problem was that Americans prefer to drive, intrinsically, and not that the problem was road layout. This surprised me because reading HN I got the idea that road layout very much is the key problem, so I asked.

Yes. Many Americans would absolutely choose a 5 minute drive over a 5 minute walk.

> Even a lot of the anti-cycling stance comes down to, “What am I, poor?” When you are using transportation infrastructure that’s designed with contempt for you, you know, and you don’t want to be there.

If your child is interested in engineering, and won't be able to go to a private school, it is best to have Calc I and II done before they go to college. At state schools, Calc is typically a weed-out class with huge lectures and they want a certain percentage of students to not be successful because these classes serve as a gating function to the engineering school. Combined with other freshman semester distractions and adjustment it's a good idea to have it out of the way.

Other than that I'd say the best acceleration is enrichment. Teach stuff like proofs, "how to solve it" by Polya, gain intuition about linear algebra and complex numbers. Martin Gardner and AK Dewdney articles in old Scientific American magazines.
This is such a fraught topic.

First point: a lot of students get "accelerated" by their parents as a way of improving their academic performance and aiming the toward an elite college. Of course you look outstanding in school if you have covered the material a year before at the local cram center. These "accelerated by rote" students memorized the multiplication tables early, so they were put in "advanced math"... but their rate of comprehension is ordinary. Their problem solving skills are ordinary. They took "advanced math" in summer school so when they take the course in the ordinary school year they have a leg up. I don't think this has to be bad, but it's not the "gifted acceleration" and can be tough on these students if expectations are that they are "fast".

A second point: acceleration traditionally means moving through the same material faster. If you have a gifted child PLEASE work with them on a breadth of things, don't just race them through multivariable calculus. Math contests are a good source of broader problems. Art of Problem Solving gets a huge shout-out for what is now years and years of acceleration and enrichment material. Look at them if you are a parent in this situation. (Actually, they are suitable for self-study.)

Edit: I am all in favor of kids learning new things as fast as they want. I don't see racing through the standard curriculum (in any country) as a route to happiness.

Consider the possibility that the problem is not having to subscribe to The Atlantic per se, but having to subscribe to a magazine to read just one of its writers -- and that, perhaps, the problem may get worse because Ed Yong might start writing for multiple magazines that each ask you to subscribe.

I have a pretty strong anti-cycling stance, because I watched my New York neighborhood that was a pedestrian paradise significantly degraded by bike lanes. The balance of walking, subways, busses, taxis and delivery trucks had worked pretty well. Bicyclists introduced the concept of failing to yield, then acting indignant and entitled.

Also, more than rpi400, we already had cyberdecks in the 90's: Jornada PDA's.

Compared to other Twitter alternatives? It absolutely is. It's not even a contest, it's in a league of its own. As embarassing as it sounds, Bluesky, Nostr, Post.news, Spoutible etc don't come even close. (Threads does of course, but the two should be compatible in the near future.)

It's also the only one that 1) didn't come to life as a reaction to Twitter changing ownership, 2) federates between a decent amount of interoperable servers and software right now, not in the future, 3) already has years of experience of dealing with bad actors that are gonna come to any decentralised service, 4) grew organically, not with VC money, and 5) is stable enough that you can choose between dozens of third-party clients (the thing we all complained about Twitter and Reddit killing this year).

A couple of millions of MAU is tiny in comparison to centralised social media (like Instagram), but it's huge in comparison to any other decentralised protocol made this century. There's nothing out there that's gonna dethrone it in usage for the next 3-5 years.

It may sound strange out of context, but the most memorable quote I've encountered in any book or any piece of writing anywhere, at least in terms of informing my own understanding of language and the construction of meaning through communication, came in a book on screen writing by William Goldman. The guy who wrote The Princess Bride, of all things.

The sentence was simply, (and in capitals in the original), "POETRY IS COMPRESSION."

MTLS doesn't affect this advice at all. You should, where possible, use MTLS because it's good security. You shouldn't leave your redis server open to the internet anyway, to cut down on logspam.

With MTLS, a good security posture is to log every connection establishment, with basic metadata about the certificate involved - it's SAN and public key hash are the best bet. For troubleshooting, do that logging before the authentication decision. But anyone can make their own certificate, so keeping network controls keeps that list free of clutter.
Such clusters are a good choice for a low-power homeserver setup. While in many instances a single PC would suffice as a homeserver, sometimes people just happen to have a couple RPi's/Chromebooks laying around or easily accessible, and reusing these devices helps stem the flow of e-waste.

This is my thought. I hope these studies consider how food is grown, transported, preserved, or prepared. Plastics from storage, quality of water for washing, quality of feed for animals, chemicals for insecticides, etc.
I think that many parents fall into the trap of acceleration to address their kids need to be challenged. While acceleration help mitigate some unnecessary repetition, by definition acceleration cannot go deeper than the standard curriculum, and deeper is where things become interesting and where you develop mathematical thinkers.

My children attend a school district where the norm is enrolling kids in after-school math programs. According to the standardized tests run by the school, about 50% of the students are pacing a full grade ahead.

The school does offer an option to skip a grade in math, but the pass rate is a mere 10%. While the skip test covers the standard material, it does so with trickier questions, tripping up many students. They're moving fast, but without much depth.

What I found works best is to pick a challenging and exciting curriculum that allows talented students to immerse themselves and experience the excitement and satisfaction of intellectual discovery. There are a few examples of such programs. The most popular of which is the curriculum offered by AoPS (art of problem solving), which starts at first grade. Following this path naturally offers a large advantage to learning at the highest levels. If they are still moving faster with the rigorous curriculum - sure, let them accelerate.

It only makes sense if one doesn't know much about self-driving. What they quote and refer to as "bullshit" is very reasonable, these systems do break down because they can't handle every possible situation on their own. They do not have human intelligence.

With robotaxis what they currently do is human drivers go out and rescue the vehicle. You can't do that with a truck, it's not economical. This will be an issue for years to come, we're probably going to see more remote assist but unlikely for an 80,000 pounds killing machine driving at highway speeds.

Which brings us to another point: Regulation and risk perception. Cruise having some hickups and maybe being involved into some minor fender benders is one thing. Politicians and some of the public in the respective cities are already concerned. But a fully loaded self driving semi being involved in a crash and potentially killing some people could be the autonomous version of 9/11. That's a lot of risk, the licenses might be revoked and then their investment is toast.

From an American perspective it could be. Amsterdam is the largest city in our country and it still pulls together walking, cycling and public transport in a way that doesn’t suck. Of course smaller towns have it easier in some ways because of the way Dutch towns are historically configured. What makes the large cities interesting is that they are somewhat metropolitan and still have the Dutch vibe.
Odd to me that futurists always seem to eschew the power of convenience. Everything runs on a balance between opportunity and convenience. Technology is created to generate opportunity, then refined to create convenience without losing that opportunity. Decks were never going to take off because nobody wants to deal with a setup that has all the inconveniences of a laptop and a headset and almost none of the advantages of either. Not to mention that the nature of the internet means it's all available at home anyway. There's no advantage to hiding in the back of a delivery truck with your deck and breaking into an evil company's network from their underground parking lot when whatever exploit you used may as well be deployed from your multi-monitor desk at home.
Why should they get residual checks? Most other professionals get paid for the hours they work and then we either have to keep working or invest some of our earnings to have enough to live on.

Of course in the startup world, you may be willing to take a lower compensation for equity that will pay our later. But hopefully you understand the risk.

If anything they should negotiate a higher up front payment.
I think you missed my point.

I have no problem citing, and actively encourage it. I do have a problem with someone rejecting my work because I failed to cite a work which would have been impossible for me to cite. The key is that it was released (as a preprint) AFTER my paper. Not only is it in bad taste to make concurrent works a requisite (happy to update btw), but it is ludicrous to require that I have a time machine.

This isn't about respect and me complaining about pomp and circumstance. This is me complaining about the frequency that I have been criticized for not having a time machine.

The point is that a system that allows people to reject works due to lack of access to a functioning time machine is not a system we should support.

> for the vast majority of Americans, this is a totally unrealistic ask for day-to-day life. Either because of urban design or else living somewhere rural enough where it's infeasible.

They can convince themselves it’s infeasible, but it is very feasible. It’s just a matter of wanting it. I wanted it enough to make it work. They don’t.

That’s 100% fine — I lie to myself about plenty of stuff to get through my day. Everybody does.
How would you compare the whole chain of command aspect? I worked with an ex-military guy in a small company (just under 100 headcount size) and his ideas about how a rigid hierarchy was supposed to work often clashed with the horizontal/start-up style of management everyone else had.
