Perhaps the MSM, and related sources, should have long ago rejected some of the most deeply revolting and otherwise distrusted people in the West to deliver the signal. That would have been a good idea if a unified positive opinion on Ukraine was the goal.

The signal from faceless college grads would have been infintely less reflexively repellant than anything that has come out of the mouths of the forever-recycled Iraq War Era propagandists. Who were fresh from a deeply partisan propaganda campaign that doesn't have an equivalent in remembered US history.

But apparently keeping the careers of these social rejects alive is more important that Ukraine opinion. Choices have consequences, for better and worse.

But given this one, its diffuclt to take seriously complaints about signal failure.

Large part of socialization is what happens outside of structured interactions. During breaks, when being with friends you have choosen by yourself and so on.

The activities you mention are not even thought about as socialization situation outside of homeschooling context - because kids come, engage in highly structured activity and leave.
I confirmed the letter spacing is still an issue by comparing the "How I digitize books" paragraph on Chrome and FF. I had to override the CSS as the site has switched to "Newsreader, serif".

I don't see the fonts appearing bolder difference (on my 4k screen). Actually that's not true, I have seen differences on lower DPI displays. I get around that using BetterDisplay to enable HiDPI on the external. I've also never noticed San Francisco font rendering improperly which I only would if it didn't fit in a clipped box.

Now that performance is largely improved, maybe they'll get around to fixing this one.
Despite the expected contrarianism in the comments, and I promise I'm being positive here, I'm pretty sure GPT-4 did really well on this task because a quick Google search shows a bunch of existing projects spanning blogs, GitHub and YouTube that it almost certainly trained on:

This is not a Bad Thing (tm) -- it's actually really sick because you can quickly get out of the weeds and get productive, especially if your skillset is not as deep as you'd have needed to accomplish even half of this a decade ago.

Nobody ever said paint by numbers was capital-P "Painting", but sometimes it's a blast to do one. I remember being 12 and making custom WADs for Doom / Hexen; my 6th grade son builds endlessly-creative and complicated modded Minecraft worlds with detailed machinery and electrical circuits and all this crazy seemingly-adherent-to-real-world-physics shit. Angry Pumpkins is arguably an order of magnitude better than simply re-skinning a Cyberdemon, because lowering the "time-to-screen" with any project (and in this case, providing a blueprint) is fun, creative, and most importantly ENCOURAGING for the next generation.

Anyways, I like it!

I wonder if there would be a strong correlation between the two.
The educators that stood out in my life were the ones who were passionate and interesting and added their own experiences and perspectives. We have somewhere between 40-60 teachers over the course of a typical public education. I'd hope at least a good cross-section of those bring something to the table other than rote explanations of test questions.

AFAIK they haven't released the dataset they fine-tuned on, so we can't be 100% there wasn't benchmark contamination.

> Readers here would be expected to know all this.

I'm not asking about the OSI model. I've long moved beyond that. Sorry that wasn't clear from my message I was typing in haste. I suspect very few readers here have implemented a TCP/IP stack or would even know where to begin. So, I'm acknowledging this.

There is a comment in this thread asking, "How did you even get started with this?" and it was able to successfully solicit the response that I was looking for.
That's strange, I knew a lot about how my society rejected the views of each of my teachers as a child and I feel neither motivation to follow in their footsteps nor try to undermine their particular political constellations. If those people were all related to me and I couldn't get away from them I might feel a bit different.
But memory is unreliable, specially if you're under pressure. This is seen for example when taking exams, some people might just completely forget what they were just studying

Is this really a crime?
We let our 3 kids choose between homeschool and private school. As a result they tended to bounce back and forth between the systems depending on their priorities. By the time they reached 4th grade I was mostly a coach when they chose homeschooling. I would let them know the things they needed to learn and help them find curriculum. And when they got stuck on something they would come to me for help, but in general they were responsible for themselves. Mostly they would only do schoolwork for 3 hours a day or so.

They had no problems reintegrating into regular school when they chose to do so. Our youngest stayed on the homeschool track the longest (from 7th grade because they got involved in competitive Call of Duty. So they ended up doing the homeschool->community college->GaTech track.

> But it boggles my mind how people can assume, with a straight face, that they are equipped to educate their child alone - something which is normally a profession for which you have to study O(years) (and even then most people aren’t really good at). What gives parents this confidence? And what gives parents the right to squander the future of their children on a whim?

There are awesome resources to educate you kid on just about anything. The real distinguishing attribute on whether a parent can be a good educator is whether their children can spin them up emotionally. If a parent can't stay calm when their child is pushing their buttons homeschooling probably won't work. And then secondarily, a parent should know when they are over their head and need to bring in assistance. Not every parent is equipped to help their children learn calculus and other advanced courses.
This x100. The most miserable and frustrating periods of my career have been in places that never deprecated anything. You could spend hours doing something that looked quite sensible, get a working draft that seemed to work, and then be told "oh yeah, that's deprecated, that data isn't even populated anymore, those rows just _happened_ to have data in dev." Then you either start sanity checking everything before doing anything and your velocity sucks, or just keep stepping on landmines and losing whole afternoons.

Edited to add: docs can help, but only so much. Environments that cluttered also tend to have layers of docs that are equally misleading.
Your ideas of secularism and religiousness does not match anything in my personal experience whatsoever (I have friends of any different religions including many most haven’t heard of…I was raised in 1 major religion and followed 1 other major religion for a few years before turning to atheism and non-religousness almost 2 decades ago).

Of course it’s probably true for certain individuals, but you’re talking about religion and secularism (which isn’t the opposite of religion, btw, so I don’t even understand what it means to be raised “secular”, and in fact secularism is essential for a society with multiple religions) broadly, and you only need to see what’s happening in the world right now to observe that your generalization is almost certainly wrong.

Dell and Meta Bring Llama 2 to Enterprise Users
Unfortunately this (overfocus on genotype) is the mistake the west made when it came to determining homogeneity (and creating nationstates out of whole cloth) and it (plus other phenomena, not meaning to shift blame) has resulted in much of the ethnic cleansing of the 20th century.

As an example, the formation of African states, cutting across traditional tribal lines which resulted in the ethnic cleansing of the Igbo in former Yorubaland/Nigeria.

India has so many complex cases of this that covering it is an essay of its own.

Even Japan, with its claims of being an ethnostate, became one by force of ideology -- force so strong that it seems like common sense even though it was not true then or now.
> It's really difficult because a lot of the resources and groups are created by and supported by this very religious group that homeschools.

...and why do those groups create so many resources? Because they tend to be people trying hard to replicate the traditional schooling experience, with high academic standards and expectations. Evangelicals are rarely the ones doing unschooling.

Source: was mostly(1) unschooled as a kid, but spent a lot of time around evangelical Christian homeschoolers because we'd go to the gym classes and other organized events they ran. The evangelicals didn't seem to have any issues with the fact that I was 100% an atheist.

1) A key exception being reading and writing. The main reason why I ended up being homeschooled was the school systems useless "whole word" approach to reading was failing me. So I was drilled intensively on phonics and other traditional techniques, and finally learned how to read and write fluently much later than I should have. Meanwhile, I had no problem learning math and science with much less structure.
So you don't want more coverage because you don't feel like doing paperwork?

I fail to see the issue. These laws have good faith in them and of you refuse to give paperwork after multiple prompting you more or less waive that coverage. They have to follow the law but they can't force you to hand over your energy bill. Alternatively, they will estimate based on data they already have and throw it into soke benefits account (if one exists).

I also imagine there is a maximum coverage rate to prevent abuse, since existing laws require to pay only a portion based on how much office space you dedicate in your house.

If you just want to exchange data on removable media, use ExFAT. What problem are you trying to solve?

Different OS's prefer different filesystems, because filesystems tend to be both complicated and heavily opinionated in design and implementation - just like different OS's. Linux is the odd one by supporting several dozen, all the other OS's stick to 1 or 2 (usually "old" and "new" like HFS+/APFS, FAT/NTFS, etc), plus UDF&FAT as the lowest common denominator for data interchange. There is very little precedent / use cases for sharing volumes like you suggest: non-removable disks tend to stay in one machine for their lifetime; dual-booting is extremely niche (where Linux/BSD themselves are all niche) and mostly a domain of enthusiasts.
Not quite the same thing but Barrier and Synergy can make two computers share a mouse and keyboard multi monitor style over a network (ie, you they switch when you mouse over the edge of one screen).
> I wonder why anyone would turn ProMotion off considering that 120Hz massively improves responsiveness.

The first reason that comes to mind is battery life. That's probably the most broadly applicable use case.

But also, if I was still doing e.g. frontend web development, I would want to confirm that my css animations looked nice at 60 hz.

Edit: My first use case is likely wrong, thank you to replies for reminding me Apple uses adaptive refresh down to 1 hz.
I am a leftist, and agree that many of them don't act in a good faith, for exactly that reason.

However, I recently watched (for a reason I won't go into here) Nelson Mandela talking about apartheid, and why he accepted support from communist dictators such as Castro or Khaddafi, when it was clearly in bad faith.

And he explained that he is looking at it solely from the perspective of ANC goals, and the dictator's (material) support for their cause.

So this got me thinking, I as a leftist do not define my identity around a cultural or ethnic group, and I instead ground my identity around moral universalism of human rights. Which means, I have to reject guilt by association, because in some sense, I am not loyal to any group.

Even if you only support free speech, you should reject guilt by association, because it makes engagement with the opposing side impossible.

So I don't really see how supporting a declaration I pretty much agree with can hurt the cause, despite the fact I think some of the signatories are acting in a bad faith.
In most cases I prefer monolithic lambda functions. It means faster deploys, and it's easier to reason about.

I create separate lambdas only when I have some large dependency that can be easily be separated from the rest of the application.
Theoretically, the entire sphere does not need to be constructed in an hour. They just need to put in place the piece that blocks the light we see. Depending on how far away the star is, the speed of placing this block in place could be doable (at least within the context of a society sufficiently advanced to build a Dyson sphere in the first place)
Citations are essential for me as I'm using Phind for work and can't rely on "trust me bro". It needs to confirm to my expectations or be confirmed in a couple of the citations that have trustworthy sources (eg are from known domains, well-cited journals, etc.).

New Journalism has been around since the 1960s at least, with Norman Mailer's work. The term originates from Tom Wolfe, around 1972/1973 https://nymag.com/article/tom-wolfe-birth-of-new-journalism-..., but Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Jimmy Breslin said there was nothing "new" about the style, that story-telling had been around as long as language.

I get it: it's not to everyone's taste. That doesn't mean it's not a legitimate and respected form of journalism. There are plenty of sources out there that stick to the "just the facts" form of writing. Whether or not that's more "real story" is debatable.

"A carbon-efficient bicarbonate electrolyzer" (2023)
https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-physical-science/fulltext/... :

> Carbon efficiency is one of the most pressing problems of carbon dioxide electroreduction today. While there have been studies on anion exchange membrane electrolyzers with carbon dioxide (gas) and bipolar membrane electrolyzers with bicarbonate (aqueous) feedstocks, both suffer from low carbon efficiency. In anion exchange membrane electrolyzers, this is due to carbonate anion crossover, whereas in bipolar membrane electrolyzers, the exsolution of carbon dioxide (gas) from the bicarbonate solution is the culprit. Here, we first elucidate the root cause of the low carbon efficiency of liquid bicarbonate electrolyzers with thermodynamic calculations and then achieve carbon-efficient carbon dioxide electroreduction by adopting a near-neutral-pH cation exchange membrane, a glass fiber intermediate layer, and carbon dioxide (gas) partial pressure management. We convert highly concentrated bicarbonate solution to solid formate fuel with a yield (carbon efficiency) of greater than 96%. A device test is demonstrated at 100 mA cm−2 with a full-cell voltage of 3.1 V for over 200 h.

With all due respect to Bob Fitch, I think you're overly romanticizing here. He wasn't starting from absolute zero. He was heavily refactoring the existing engine and bringing in improvements from the Diablo engine, which was being finished up at the same time.
