Make sure you understand before you move forward. I knew a guy that would read a text book cover to cover as fast as possible. His theory was that he could be ready for any quiz or test. The problem was that he did not take time to understand so the farther he got the less he learnt since he was not ready for the higher level ideas. All the reading was mostly a waste. Also, rereading does not equal learning. You need to stop and digest the info before moving further. So to make it easier take reading notes that you can review as you read new concepts.
True. I find the ideological movement against standardized testing really disturbing. Their basic point is that students from affluent families are more likely to do well on standardized tests (which is true), and that therefore eliminating the tests as enrollment requirements will level the playing field (which does not follow).

For instance - to use your example - which student is more likely to be given your advice: the one from an affluent family attending a well-funded school, or the (let's posit much smarter) one from a family of non-college attendees living in an under-funded district? When the SAT was a formal requirement they'd be more likely to be judged on an actually level playing field.
Home ownership killed Britain's property dream
It sounds like these aren’t actually new laws, and aren’t California specific, so it’s probably not the intent. This seems too conspiratorial on the part of the state.

According to the article, it’s mostly driven from lawsuits from employees. The basis is that if the employer uses the employee’s internet, it has to pay for part of the bill, because otherwise it’s an unfair “windfall”.

It rather seems like basic protections to prevent employers from offloading expenses onto employees.
Hey there - we have documented the tech stack here: https://docs.streamdal.com/en/resources-support/open-source/

Tldr: go, grpc, Protobuf, wasm, deno, reactflow, ts

And yep, you’re right - we are using protobuf to have a common schema between all SDKs, the server and UI.

Re: sdk implementation - it’s basically implementing grpc methods, knowing how to exec wasm and doing a couple of extra things at instantiation. In real terms - it took us about a week to implement the python SDK - that’s with learning how to do wasm, Protobuf and grpc in python + 1 week afterwards to iron out edge cases.

Re: Java - that was going to be the next sdk we do but we have no idea if it needs to be a specific Java version? Should we target lowest possible Java version? We need to have a solid wasm runtime support - so maybe that limits us to newer versions of Java. Is that a problem?

I did Java a looong time ago - so need some outside input at this point haha

The fact that they're still called that at this point is just insulting.
To be fair to Bethesda, they provide all the tooling you would need to make your own Elder Scrolls game with Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, et al..

Modding a Bethesda game is literally getting into the innards of the game itself and changing or replacing bits in it as you please, at least until we get into hooking in DLLs which is a whole different story.
Seems like he did a bit of both.
Or, people believe that the school system as it exists now has serious problems under layers of unchangeable management so the best solution is a different option.

You’ll know this by the people who campaign for voucher programs that we’re all told are evil somehow. Yet the goal of vouchers is to make all options available to everyone.

Without vouchers, all options are only available to those with financial options.

You can go to public school, private school or a home school program. If you want a better public school, you have to move to a better rated school district. In order to do that, you have to be able to afford it.

Without vouchers, poor families only option is public school where they currently live. People opposed to vouchers have 1 goal: preserve the status quo. They’ll tell you absolutely anything to convince you otherwise too.
It's surprisingly good code for a student hobby project. I dipped in earlier hoping to find some silly gotcha to preen about, but it's well structured, follows a close read of the RFCs, and for its problem domain it probably needs to be in C anyways. I agree, the author shouldn't sell themselves short if they don't want to. But I also kind of took the "what's the license" question as a bit snippy, which I assume that preceding commenter did too.
I clicked expecting special glass in front of the lens or something, but no the phone was bog standard and bolted into a rig for movement: that's about as "shot on iPhone" as you'd imagine.
Same here, I also use Firefox ESR from Debian packages and I've observed Firefox to lock up hard a few times. Often to the point it affects the entire desktop so not quite sure if it's a bug in Firefox itself or possibly elsewhere e.g., Wayland.

Both carbon-capture and mass energy-storage are already fairly cheap if the energy is free and you don't care about efficiency.

Exactly. They certainly are not luxuries, and to some extent they’re not even beliefs - they’re acknowledgments about the way the world works, about modern systemic factors that impact the lives of historically oppressed populations.

Just because someone doesn’t recognize a word, doesn’t mean it’s some rarified hoity toity elitist folly - it’s ignorance; a lack of education or opportunity, nothing more.

Not OP, but I am a Christian convert. I was raised an agnostic/atheist, but converted due to a combination of philosophical and emotional reasons. Contrary to what is commonly believed, there are not that many intellectually serious religions to chose from. If you are curious about it, I would suggest you check out The Experience of God, by David Bentley Hart (https://www.amazon.com/Experience-God-Being-Consciousness-Bl...).
Very interesting how a company run by irrational humans can be counted on to make "economically rational" decisions!
I assumed grandparent was quoting from the article, the quotation marks made me think that. Looks like the grandparent was the one adding hyperbole.
Did you read the actual post? They use generative AI to replace both programmers AND artists. And if anything programmers have been at risk of replacement FAR longer than traditional artists. Low code solutions in the form of Squarespace for web programming, AirTable for CRUD, Unity for making games, the list goes ON AND ON.
I might be confusing it with the project that seeks to remaster Morrowind in Skyrim, then.
Don’t forget an image codec with HDR (10-bit) support!

Jesus wept, this is just a still frame from any of: h.265, AV1, or VP9. Those, or a JPEG XL file.

None of these work in general, especially outside of the Apple moat.

Oh, sure, you can buy a $4000 flagship Nikon camera that can output HDR files in HEIF format, but they won’t open on Windows and look garbled on Apple devices.

This is so stupid now that the iOS version of Adobe Lightroom can edit HDR photos and export them in three formats…
none of which can be viewed as HDR on any iOS device! I’ve never ever seen this kind of retardation before — software that is this fundamentally incompatible with the only OS it runs on!

I go on this rant approximately annually. It’s been about a decade. I expect to be stuck using SDR JPG for another decade at this rate.

I have not done extensive research, but I suspect this is as effective as banning the government from data collection, with the result that the government pays companies to do that and it's somehow legal that way.
I'm the lead author of a cross-platform digital audio workstation. We have a saying : every user needs just 20 features, but the problem is that all but 2 of the features are unique to that user. Obviously it bottoms out at some point, but 100 users means 1800 features, and 100 more users means adding at least another 1500. And people why "a specific tool for a specific needs must always change" - it's because we serving a constantly moving user target. [EDIT: the numbers are just BS, but the principle seems to be real-world]

More than that, most users of most sophisticated creation software have their own evolving needs, unlike GRR Martin and his word processing requirements. The program they needed last year, before their understanding of their own process and their own aesthetic goals expanded, isn't the program they need this year.
Buildings like WeWork have always existed. I remember being a teen and being shown the new 'office concept' in the early 2000s where you could just tap into an office buildings internet infrastructure so you didn't need to rent your own T1 lines, you'd get a phone system and fax machines and all that for one flat fee.

If WeWork goes bankrupt, the investors will get wiped out but some other company will buy the buildings and it'll continue existing

> I meant something different by "anything goes." I am ~40 and was born in Eastern Europe -- but even in the US, back then there was still a strong value that a good life a combination of having a family and raising the next generation, ability to work to support your family and contribution to society through your work.
Whereas even in "my time" these values would have resonated with the tone in a public school, I am pretty sure that's not going to be the case today.

I'm not aware of that class in the curriculum.
Is it supposed to be taught during math, history, geology or sports?
That's not a modeset though, that's just the display working as intended. Basically a VSYNC that runs at a variable clock rather than a fixed refresh.
I feel like this intelligence explosion idea is foolish but I don't really have the language to explain why.

There are underlying limits to the universe, some of which we still have to discover. A machine intelligent to improve itself may only be able to do so extremely slowly in minute increments. It might also be too overspecialised, so it can improve itself but not do anything of use to us.

I think we will eventually discover reasons we cannot achieve a simultaneously performant, controllable, and generally intelligent machine. We might only be able to have one or two of these traits in a single system.
For our kids' school, the main thing that jumps out to me compared to when I was a kid is that each class has a paid aide. So there's 1 teacher per 30 or so students, but there's also an aide in there, so 1 adult per 15 students.

I don't know if every school does this. But ours is public and I wouldn't have known this was a thing if my wife didn't volunteer.

Well, my question was not about things OpenStreetMap does (and does quite well). My question was about something it does not provide at all. Why haven't similar communities in other big cities across the world created similar sites (“own/better Wikimapias”) to collect information on everything they find interesting in their neighborhoods? Seemingly useless pedestrian bridge across highway is a perfect case. Maybe they did, and I haven't found those? Hopefully, my examples show that such projects can slowly grow into enormous treasures.
My guess: It’s not the shiniest, newest toy model anymore.

Well I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic school all the way up and through high school, decided I was a hardcore atheist around 8th grade (long since pure agnostic btw), butted heads and debated constantly in Theology class, and I disagree with you.

Very few of my Catholic friends and family seem to be motivated by fear, and even at my most annoying and confrontational no one ever tried to “scare” me back into believing.

Pro Tip: There is a Firefox extension that forces YouTube to use H.264. Even though my machine does hardware accelerated VP9 I've found it to be unreliable. Switching to H.264 makes YouTube videos play smoothly. All other videos sites use H.264 by default so this only really needs to be done for YouTube.
As an English speaker on this site, the odds are very high you are descended from someone who believed in creationism. I argue it is good our ancestors weren’t forcibly taken from our other ancestors ala Stalin, Mao etc. simply for being Christians as it was defined a few generations ago.

If you don’t like it, though, there are less successful countries in this world that still persecute people based on religious belief. You are free to try one out. See how it goes.
> Also those blobs are often targeted at specific kernel versions, so in 2 years when the upstream vendors stop releasing updated blobs, then it no longer becomes possible to upgrade the kernel, making it very very hard to keep last gen devices secure.

Choosing Reliable Typefaces
Every photographer that earns his/her salt knows that the secret to a good shot does NOT lie in the camera alone.

I do have to say that Apple's constant improvements in iPhone camera technology is to be applauded - they make for some compelling reasons to stay upgraded even while telephony itself is somewhat mired :P . But there is so much more than the camera involved in capturing an image. We tend to forget that cameras can only sense light, and the computer behind it can only work with the raw material fed to it. Providing that light, and the shadows that accompany it, continues to add to the artistry and skill of the cinematographer's work.
I would generalize this into avoiding any TLD which controlling entity does not deserve long term trust. Goverments of other countries are one kind, and I would add to that list companies such as google who could at any day put a gTLD into its graveyard. We have already seen some of the new gTLD that shortly after being created was then abandon by their operator (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17624158).

.io for example should be considered harmful because their operator Ethos Capita has a history of incompetence, corruption and mismanage. They forgot to renew some of the nameservers for the TLD, allowing security researchers to take partial control of the TLD! They also had major outages like randomly giving NXDOMAIN for long periods, prompting articles like https://hackernoon.com/stop-using-io-domain-names-for-produc.... Ethos Capita was also the company behind the infamous attempt to buy .org and the associated insider dealing.

Registering a domain name is a long term partnership, and the cost of breaking that partnership is usually much more costly than people realize until the point when forced to do it.

The rationalist stuff really reads like the guy has a preexisting bone to pick. I get that LessWrong has gotten pretty navel-gazing, and that the EA community took a real beating when all this FTX stuff came to the surface.

But the supposed critique of Scott Alexander is nonsensical. The article tees up this supposed big blow against him by framing the "amphetamines" section as though his single article about Adderall somehow is the root cause of SBF's apparent drug abuse. That's pretty tenuous at best, and reads like the kind of thing you'd only write if you're desperate to find a way to dunk on "rationalists".

I really don't understand the hate boner everyone has for effective altruism - the whole core of the idea was just to choose charities that get the most value for the money donated. Maybe it's the cold (and admittedly quite handwavy ) utilitarian calculus of the whole thing that turns people off. But just because SBF was a fraud doesn't mean the whole EA movement is bullshit, and when you look at how money is spent by some "popular" charities like the Komen Foundation, EA looks pretty logical to me.
I wonder if we screwed up by calling out “tail” - it is so much more then that - it executes wasm rules on the client that are pushed to it by the server AND because we have access to the data - we can expose a UI to see it flowing… like a “tail -f” - but that doesn’t quite flow off the tongue :)

I’d urge you to check out the live demo and “tail” an app at runtime - it might be able to explain what we we are doing better than I can.

The integration with YouTube and Netflix is brilliant!

Some feedback:
- The hero image is a bit vague, not sure what the product is, however, scrolling down a bit I see a great image of a K-Drama playing with the app in action, which was really impressive and informative
- The tool tip background is transparent so hard to read the text in it as it gets mixed with the background
It IS refreshing not to be insulted by the usual "You are important to us and we're taking this very seriously" PR fluff.

This is a very typical opinion that many religious people have about non-religious people, but I think it betrays a fundamental misunderstanding. You get your values from religion but this is not the only source of values. People readily receive values via tradition, culture, example, etc. And then there are those thoughtful (and often somewhat tortured, like myself) people who engage in a lot of soul-searching in order to develop their own set of values. A lack of religion does not mean a lack of values. In fact, judging by the behaviour of many religious people, it often seems to be the opposite.

In terms of the values you cited, such as raising the next generation and contributing to society, these are extremely common values found in a wide spectrum of society and indeed, are heavily emphasized in virtually any education system you care to examine!

Maybe a silly point, but “Choose Your Own Adventure” is a trademarked phrase and you could get in hot water if you ever try to sell it.
Oh okay, that makes sense, thank you for clarifying.
I know you kid - but the _data_ in this context is the data that the app is processing at runtime. Ie. If the app is reading from a DB - that’s what we are tailing.

And if that’s already clear - sorry :)

Cool project. It reminds me of another minimal TCP implementation from Viewpoints Research Institute back in 2007. They managed to do it in under 200 lines of code by writing a parser that directly interprets the ASCII art diagrams in the IETF RFC. Which is kind of a bizarre approach, but very clever and somewhat self documenting.

My personal observation, having homeschooled my junior and senior year, the level of wasted time (i.e. not adding value) at public school is incredible.

While it wouldn’t work at all age levels, the program I used was incredibly flexible and really encouraged curiosity.

This isn’t to say I didn’t benefit from attending public schools. There were programs and experiences there that would be difficult to impossible to replicate.

However, overall, I’d guess that at least 50% of time in public schooling is baby sitting and crowd control.
