If everyone at Harvard exits with a good grasp of Calculus, that's useful information. If only half of people from BU graduate with a good grasp of Calculus, that's also good information. BU and Harvard don't need to have the same proportions of A students for it to be a useful data point.

Why? The exam is intended to make sure you learned the material. If everyone did so, the response shouldn't be "make the grades shittier", it should be "applaud the instructor for their good teaching".

My AP Physics class had 20 kids in it, 10 of us got 5s and 10 got 4s on the AP Physics exam. Should some of us had our scores lowered for a better bell curve? No; he was just a really great, engaging teacher who pushed us to achieve.

Isn't this is what the root comment is saying? I did not summarize the entire thing but that was my understanding of its point.

> you can achieve a net societal improvement that way.

You can improve the outcomes of the non-low-performers, but it's hard to say it's a "net societal improvement" because the low performers are also part of society.

Grade inflation is an obvious problem. It does a disservice to students, making them believe they are exceptional at something they are actually mediocre at. Some rants related to this and how awful grade inflation is for students and the world.

AP score data is especially indicative of this. In AP classes, most high school students earn As from their teachers (I estimate around ~60%). Yet, when you look at the AP scores, few get 5s on exams (the equivalent of an A). For example, 5-10% get 5's on AP English and Science-related exams. Scores are a bit higher on Social Sciences (10-15% 5s) and math/CS (~25%). But only ~50% of students even get above a 3 on the exam (the equivalent of a C). So there are people who essentially get a D by the standard (a 2) that are getting an A in their high school class.

I could go on with countless examples of how students aren't nearly as capable as their grades would indicate. At McKinsey, I interviewed over 100 people from top schools with high GPAs. Many couldn't solve simple math problems when given the problem in the context of a real-world case.

At out top institutions with our top students, we should be pushing them extremely hard and measuring them against a higher bar. I find it disappointing that they are being measured against the same (or even a lower bar) than students at other institutions. It's so bad that it seems clear that a Harvard Education isn't any better than a Penn State, Nebraska, or even UC Riverside education. The only difference is having the Harvard brand and network. It's an embarrassment. And it's not just a problem at Harvard. It's a problem at every top institution.

Grade-motivated students don't put in the extra work when little effort still earns them As. One example stands out. I run an edtech company, and in our early days, we ran an experiment at doesmyessaysuck.com. You could submit your essay, get a score, and 2 pieces of feedback on how to improve the content and structure of your writing. We did about a thousand essays before abandoning it. I always think about one student. He submitted an essay we generously gave a C (it was really bad). It was incoherent, poorly structure, didn't answer the prompt, and lacked sound logical reasoning. He responded we were wrong because he had gotten a 93% on it.

Also – https://www.gradeinflation.com/ is a good read. It's out-of-date data. But it proves the point even further than this article.

Note: There is some research out there that claims grade inflation is false and that more students actually have learned more than in previous years (i.e., the academic bar hasn't changed, but more students are above it). However, this research is unconvincing (and ripe with errors). There's essentially been zero improvement (and even a decline) in basic math and literacy skills over the past couple of decades (as measured by standardized tests). Yet grades are much higher. And high school and college graduation rates are up by about 10 percentage points since the early 2000s. As it turns out, when your only measure of success is graduation rate, you end up with more graduates – even if those graduates don't have any skills.
The article considers "an entity that is allowed to propose new entries to the CSAM database".

You don't even need this! You could target a whole "social cluster" of people without having any special privileges within this system.

As an example, lets say you want to attack environmental protesters.

For image A, you create a meme about climate change.

For image B, you procure something that looks, to humans, like CSAM (as described in the article).

Craft B′ such that f(B′) = f(A) (also as described).

Now, all you have to do is anonymously publish B′ to a platform that is actively moderated/monitored. Unfortunate users will see it and report it as CSAM, and if the platform fulfills its obligations, that report will bubble up to the relevant authorities, who will review it and add its fingerprint to the database.

Now you can start sending out image A, the meme, to your target demographic. You won't be able to post it on "mainstream" platforms with server-side fingerprint scanning, but there are plenty of other avenues for it to spread. If it's a good meme, it will propagate organically through group-chats and DMs, and eventually find its way onto devices with client-side scanning.

Apple's proposed device scanning system had a threshold before your device would be flagged, so repeat all these steps a whole bunch of times, until the average meme-savvy environmental protester's device gets flagged for further scrutiny.

Unwitting victims who do try to post the meme to a mainstream platform with fingerprint matching may risk getting their accounts flagged and taken down, and they might have no way of knowing what triggered it. This would lead to, of course, automated censorship of environmental protest groups.
While it is a noble goal, we've seen in the past few years how susceptible people are for disinformation. Just see how many people absolutely ate up Covid/Vaccination disinformation. See how many people are still ignorant about climate change and believe the bullshit they're told by the fossil fuel lobby. Or even more fundamental; see how many people are susceptible for advertisement - it's basically the same.

You'd wish that people were critical thinkers. But that's not what our consumerism-oriented media landscape has been working towards in the last 50 years. Quite the contrary; "buy, so everyone will like you!" We've been trained to be brave little consumers and to eat up our daily share of capitalistic propaganda -eh- I mean advertisement.

The economic incentive to create as many mindless and uncritical consumers as possible has left much of the population unable to think for themselves.

So, before you can have your censorship-free utopia, you first need to raise the level of informed and critical education. And that's not going to happen while the economic interests need the population susceptible for advertisement.
After the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) version of Nature is released, I plan to use it for game engine and game development. But that's probably not the answer you were looking for.

I have experience with many programming languages like PHP, Python, Golang, JS, C, Scheme, etc. Each of these languages has its shortcomings that bother me. Taking C as an example, it lacks package management and doesn't support generics. In contrast, Nature is designed to improve upon C by featuring generics, package management, and null safety, among other things.

Moreover, what drives me is simply the joy of the process.
It doesn't mean it stops working, though, right? (I too made tons of use of NI on macos)
> Cleansing the data-set is what has made the last 2 releases of stable diffusion duds.

Which last two releases? SDXL is very much not a dud. SD 2.x was (2.1 less so than 2.0, but not enough to make up for 2.0.)

SD 1.5 still has a bigger ecosystem of fine-tunes, etc., and its less resource intensive, so its superior for some work, but SDXL is rapidly catching up in ecosystem support in a way that 2.x never did.

See the Dacia Spring, not only it is an EV for about $20k, but if you look at the interior, you don't even realize it's electric. It is all knobs and dials, some models are equipped with a screen and GPS for navigation, but you won't get more than that in term of connectivity.

Ok. So Not "Sales".

Then the 'Reason', the 'point'.

It is branded as "joy", this language does something different to make it 'Joyful".

So all I'm asking is - what is different. What is the change that someone can point at and say 'this solves some problem that makes it joyful'???

A 'C' grade is supposed to be 'average'.

If you're already in the top 10% of all students in the USA, you can still be average in comparison to your peers.

A 'C' grade at Harvard should still be pretty good in the job space because: 1) you were good enough to be admitted to Harvard, and 2) you are representative of an average student at Harvard.
I am not sure why you so casually dismissed this complaint without doing a quick search.

The whole reason why DEF is used[0] is because it reduces nitrous oxides, which are thought to be a pollutant.

Whether they actually are an effective greenhouse gas or not is probably a completely different thing we could argue about, but what is undisputed is the mechanism of action in the hot catalytic converter during engine operation, since it's the entire point of using the DEF in the first place.

In the catalytic converter, the urea thermally decomposes[0] to form Ammonia and Isocyanic acid[1], which is "a colourless, volatile and poisonous substance, with a boiling point of 23.5 °C".

23.5C is 74.3F. So, basically at room temperature the isocyanic acid becomes vapor. On a hot day, it vaporizes quickly and all that isocyanic acid has to go somewhere.

This is nasty stuff[2].

Anyway, the EPA probably figures that poisoning someone who's operating a diesel serves you right in order to reduce nitrous oxides. I've operated other diesels that are pre-DEF and never got sick like that.

Pretty sure you can configure any WM to use those key combinations. I used them in i3 and currently use them in bspwm. Not sure why you jumped to dwm immediately.

I'm sure you can also use them in a fully fledged DE, and someone mentioned using alt + click on windows to drag.
So 15% vs. 13% (albeit from a slightly lower starting point). Not sure that makes a case for a dramatic difference.
Why does this even matter? In the end as long as you pass the required courses, you'll get a degree. Who checks grades? Most don't even check that a claim of degree is true. The only loss would be that of the student not actually the learning material due to lenient grading.

We're talking about game prices, which are indeed industry set (worked in the industry).

The Xbox Series S has cheaper hardware, that's why it's cheaper. You might as well say video games are getting less expensive because the 3DS isn't $500.

While GamePass is great value, it's just temporary to keep everybody on Microsoft store. You can't mod games, you can't open your game files even, and your progress in live service games will not be transferred to other platforms even if you're on PC still.

It's hard not to acknowledge the fact that Microsoft is getting perfectly positioned to clamp everyone down into their ecosystem harder than ever, and there's nothing we could do about it. They have Github, they have a close partnership with ChatGPT, they have a crazy amount of game studios and IPs.

I don't think the attitude of "let's let them get as big as possible and hope they don't abuse that power" is healthy.
Also, the only site I can post to. Haven't tried wikipedia yet.
Pension plans and 401K/IRA are invested in the same thing.

The only difference is a pension plan board/fund manager is an additional middleman that can be stupid/corrupted, hence more agency risk for the benefit recipient.

Taxpayer funded pension plans offset that agency risk with the power of being able to increase taxes, assuming their tax base is sufficient.
I'd argue that the right model is to consider what's been updated whenever you do a release. Likely not to the level of diffing source (which isn't realistic for most setups), but at least lets you see what's changing.

It isn’t a zero sum game. It’s possible for all students to get As and for that to still be a meaningful measurement of skill.

Grades don’t show your ability relative to others, they show your mastery of a set of knowledge and skills. You mastering something doesn’t prevent your neighbor from also mastering it.
LoRAs are, like most fine-tuning, a spectrum.

LoRAs can be nearly the same size as the original model, with nearly the same representation capacity/trainability, or they can be a tiny tiny fraction of the original model size, with correspondingly fewer learnable parameters.

As such, they are suitable for nearly all tasks. We should be asking if they are better than regular fine-tuning, or soft-prompts (aka textual inversion), or slapping new trainable layers on the end (aka hypernetworks). The stable diffusion community seems to think that they are.

There is no chaos to jaywalking because jaywalking should be the default. Only in non-pedestrian cities is jaywalking taxing.

I come from a city where people jaywalk(Stockholm). Jaywalking makes the city extremely walkable, and quite frankly I suspect it was designed with jaywalking in mind. It is obvious when someone is not from Stockholm - they wait for the signal.

I don't get the ease of jaywalking in many other large cities I've been - Zürich comes close. In the UK, even crossing at a green light feels dangerous.

How do we know the cooks aren't holding out on a better recipe for Alfredo sauce that uses more salt? The recipe they're using seems adequate, but there's a better formula they could be using by adding salt, except they've all gotten together outside of work to conspire against us and say there's nothing wrong with the amount of salt they're using. Who knows who's paying them to say this? We need to follow them everywhere, see who they see, read what they write, audit their bank records. We need proof.

I don't have any direct knowledge of this, but I assume the hash collision comes in because Youtube uses some kind of fuzzy hash, so a generic music performance will flag videos using the same piece of music, but not necessarily the same performance.

When I was like 8 or 9, Blizzard consisted solely of a half-page advertisement mail-in for the Warcraft demo disk in a magazine. Had a couple small, overhead views of a game unlike any I had seen before. You got a single free disk in the mail with 2 levels. I played those two levels so much that, upon getting the full game for Christmas, I obliterated every single level in just hours. Still worth every penny, though.
Mathematics and Its History by Stillwell might give one a good idea.
One problem is that the measurement depends on what you're using the transistors for. You can fit more logic tranistors per mm^2 than cache transistors on recent nodes (capacitance is really annoying).
> Do you really benefit from knowing which of two Harvard grads got a few extra questions right in a handful of exams?

It isn't just "a few extra questions", when professors makes tests harder they add more interesting questions that requires you to think further rather than just plug-n-chug. The difference between a 4.0 student and a 3.0 student at lets say Caltech is enormous, so yeah I care.
I think the perfect use-case for this would be to embed it in a application, kind of like GraphQL Playground. Not sure I'd use it for user-facing documentation though, as it seems it doesn't have SSR or HTML output. Docusaurus Integration would be nice for that reason.
It’s not Sonys fault that Microsoft destroyed their first party dominance while Sony was curating their exclusive titles.

Microsoft endorsed enshittification and got complacent. Sony didn’t.

Microsoft lost their previously winning position through incompetence in a single console generation, and that doesn’t all of a sudden make buying up and making several studios exclusive “fair competition”.

“Fair competition” is not using your other business lines to subsidize harming consumers because you made several years of terrible decisions.

What’s more, Microsoft’s throwing money around to just buy a position in the gaming market is showing through clear review manipulation (Starfalls wall of 10s for what’s clearly a 5-6/10).

For any other company this purchase is viewed as anti-competitive. Microsoft’s arguments were fucking toddler level. How consumer protections managed to bungle this so badly to prevent the sale is likely to go down in law education for “what not to do”. All the lawyers involved in the consumer protection side should be disbarred on the basis of complete incompetence.
