This is probably something Tizen-equivalent for Apple. Even if they don't seriously consider launching this to public in a foreseable future, this will be a great card for negotiation against Google, not just for default browser auction but lots of other stuffs. This is especially important in the upcoming DMA context so that they would incentivize Google to keep the Duopoly situation rather than putting the app store/browser space into serious competitions even after Apple opening up the third party app store/browser.
Why would Apple launch its own Google? What's the business case of this? Searching on iOS is vastly different than searching on the internet.

IANREE (I Am Not a Real Estate Expert) so please take the following with a grain of salt. If you want to buy a house and believe you can afford one (even at an "inflated" price) along with the cost of maintenance, property taxes, assessments, etc. then go ahead and do it. Best case scenario, real estate values continue to rise and you’re glad you made the move. Worst case, there’s a 2008-style crash and you and millions of other voters get government bailouts.

If you’re happy in your current situation, that’s great too!

This is not the same as common core. Common core for the most part was pretty well designed AFAICT and was grounded in real pedagogy.

Like you point out, common core was focused more on understanding concepts as opposed to reaching answers.

What the California standard appears to be doing (full disclosure, I’m basing this on second hand accounts all of which have been negative) is simply eliminating certain fundamental math altogether.

I did health tech for 10 years.

You can make a very profitable business out of consuming HHS datasets, clean up the many data problems, and selling the cleansed datasets to public health researchers. The HHS' most coveted datasets given to a select few every year are just as terrible by the way.

You're far overestimating what they know.
Do you need to understand that addition is commutative, or even what commutative means, to use the schoolboy multiplication algorithm?

From the article.

Two thoughts about learning:

-- Programming is a way of thinking, not a rote skill. Learning about "for" loops is not learning to program, any more than learning about pencils is learning to draw.

-- People understand what they can see. If a programmer cannot see what a program is doing, she can't understand it.

Thus, the goals of a programming system should be:

-- to support and encourage powerful ways of thinking

-- to enable programmers to see and understand the execution of their programs

Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (like cipro, levaquin) wreak havoc on your mitochondria, including on mtDNA [1]. I doubt there's a link between FQs and Parkinsons. At least it would be easy to falsify that hypothesis. But FQs can cause permanent damage in humans, and it's interesting to see that mtDNA damage (which FQs cause) can have effects like the linked article show.

To be fair, it’s not like the traditional academic social sciences need much excuse to chase fashions as it is. If anything, that very tendency might be what gets computational social science’s foot in the door. “Hey, we’re the hot new thing!” (That they can leverage the ML/AI hype to generate grants will be the main thing, of course, that secures their place.)
Apple does have a crawler of its own, which feeds into Siri's knowledge. But, there's no public front end to use it as a search engine, though there was up to about 2021 or 2022, provided as a bit of fun by some enterprising third party.
There's a supply side to inflation too, of course, but "increased feeling of wealth" will definitely lead to higher spending on average.

Crypto did it too, probably on a larger scale than any money market fund - I know many people who bought a house on the proceeds from bitcoins they bought a decade ago.

But if increased demand happens in a market where: (a) new sellers can enter easily and (b) there's low startup cost to competing it will be more of a "rising tide lifts all boats" than a "compete to inflate the prices of the fixed quantity of goods" situation. (Housing is the latter - location, location, location, and construction would lag even in a zero-regulation world. And the difference between now and 2008 is that even if some of that is kinda "funny money" like crypto, there's still real money and real income involved, and less of a "a ton of people are going to have to sell in a hurry" pressure vs the wildly over-leveraged essentially-fraudulent buyers with crazy variable rate terms and such.)
For context: how much do "ordinary" people earn in San Francisco, such as clerks in a warehouse?
The people living near airports don't want things flying faster than the speed of sound near them.

Also, starting at about .78 times the speed of sound, the energy needed to fight against air friction (drag) increases drastically, and air travel is energy-expensive enough below .78 times the speed of sound.
> Worst case, there’s a 2008-style crash and you and millions of other voters get government bailouts.

I don't think individual mortgage holders, as a class, got government bailouts during the GFC. The closest thing I can think of is the Troubled Asset Relief Program which, to my understanding, largely benefited the banks themselves (by allowing them to offload toxic assets). Am I missing something?
I argue that emote is more important skill than switching multiple voice character, though latter contributes get more jobs
No one got government bailouts during the 2008 crash. People had their houses foreclosed on and the big boys got the bailouts, not regular folks. What on earth are you referring to?

My Dad had IPF a lung disease and struggled near the end mainly due to isolation at home. My Mom and myself were there but he missed his social outings like fishing and bargain hunting. Even struggling with his oxygen generator he fished struggling through mud and getting waders off and on.

He was great until blood clots caused more issues like taking morphine to calm smooth muscle to help him breathe. Morphine just that tiny pill caused terrible constipation (opioids are terrible).

My point being Dad would take anything just to feel even slightly better it meant he was still here. Death is terrifying and as long as you can limp along whatever makes it better is something people want. Really at that point you try to get to a point where you may just die in your sleep not knowing you did.

Surprised that this post doesn’t include the fact that Kirkland brand is identical, at a lower price, to another brand of that item that they stock on their shelves and brands must compete to get this label. It benefits them because they get 2x the shelf space (more sales) and it benefits Costco’s customers because it’s a lower price for a high quality item. Oh, and Costco has a QA team with specific quality metrics, and if the item with the Kirkland label falls below a certain target, they’ll get swapped for something better.

Costco is what Amazon wishes it could be, if it didn’t fall down the rabbit hole of being a rebadged Ali Express.

Companies are buying houses at inflated rates with the expectation that cash will lose value due to further inflation. To me, this is the only explanation for mass-buying of homes at a premium price even when interest rates are high.

I've mostly been tracking with web development on the Internet since 1999. I think startups are cool, and user interfaces could be better. I have an interest in giving every object on the Internet a unique id, and reaching more people across the last mile problem. Sure I'll code in JavaScript framework X, but probably you can just create a DOM object and be fine. If you say AI I'll probably ask you if you mean LLM. If you email me, expect a quick telephone call to determine if we are compatible individuals. And I won't create a username and password on your system until you hire me, because that's a waste of your marketing budget.
Yeah I just...don't agree with any of this post. Cryptocurrency has done more harm than good by a really wide amount. Even ignoring the environmental cost, it's pitched as "a global financial safeguard, protecting vulnerable individuals from issues like rampant inflation, exorbitant remittance fees, and oppressive governments." but it really really seems just like made up funnymoney to aid in obviously illegal money laundering schemes and/or obvious scams.

If you like to play with tech for tech's sake, have at it. But the whole thing just screams fraud.

Slightly different side of the coin, but in Canada – and maybe the US is the same – mortgage interest costs are what is driving inflation. Excluding mortgage interest costs, inflation has been within the target range for quite some time now. So higher interest rates are responsible for inflation in that sense.
Unfortunately maybe the solution is not a cure but a vaccine that prevents depletion.

It's more that hyper-empathy and more broadly hyper-emotionality is how social media goes.

In real life, someone asking to cut in line because they are sad might get a "I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm in a rush too."

But online, callousness in response to emotional vulnerability is generally down voted while empathy is upvoted on something like Reddit.

Well guess what data source was being used to train appropriateness of responses to input? All that karma wasn't being thrown out the window.

So we have LLMs that in their core network have effectively learned to output responses that would get upvoted on Reddit and avoid comments that would get down voted.

Appealing to empathy or sentimentality works because lurkers upvoted feel good comments.

The most important thing to know about the current tech is that LLMs do not reflect humanity - but they do reflect the version of ourselves that we collectively projected online. Which is a highly exaggerated form of the real thing.
We thought it would be good at driving… hilarious!
I never imagined that using social engineering against a computer program would be a thing. I guess it makes sense though — it’s just behaving the same way a human would, gullibility and all.
Sure. The “serious” stuff is written in more serious languages and the rapidly changing experimental stuff in more lenient and expressive languages.

Regardless of what one considers 'adequate' pay for teachers, the aggregate statistics show that many -- most -- other developed countries achieve far better results with less spending per student.

At least in my state and area, I've read through the budgets, and the typical canard of 'administration' making up the bulk of the spending also doesn't hold water. Around 70-75% of the spending was directly on teachers salary/benefits, and only 10-15% for administration, and 10-15% on facilities. That certainly seems like a reasonable allocation to me, and I'm not sure how one could adjust it further without creating a new obstacle.

In your socioeconomic group, maybe. There are also probably a lot of groups for whom high interest rates decrease spending (those of limited means, those with extensive investments but minimal liquid cash, etc.). That's not to say that you're wrong, only that anecdotes don't make a trend :-)
