Why do you presume that religious parents necessarily have bad outcomes homeschooling?

I have a relative who is deeply religious. I know I would not agree with her on, for example, evolution. But she is loving and devoted and her two daughters have received tons of time and investment from her in their education, far more than they would receive in a public school.

I obviously haven't, like, tested her kids, but they do seem smart and well adjusted. I'm not really worried about the limitations on their scientific learning — it's not ideal if they are skipping some evolutionary biology (I actually have no idea but I assume they are) but they are going to leave home, go to college in a very secular country and get to learn that stuff. I'm sure with the internet they are already widely exposed to what science has to say about e.g. the creation of the universe (which, honestly, how many high school students could walk you through?).

By the way, I don't think there is anyone homeschooling with the "only textbook is the Bible" and in most states you need to file a curriculum every year that gets reviewed and approved.

> For parents who do so for political or culture war reasons, that must seem profoundly unfair.

I homeschooled my daughter for reasons other than culture wars or politics (she’s a violinist and public schools didn’t regard practice time as particularly important.)

But I never thought of public school funding as transactional. We did not take direct advantage of the benefit; but a reasonably well educated populace benefits me in a host of other ways. So I harboured no resentment when paying my public school levy.
I agree that resource allocation is hard, but we're talking unknown unknowns here. There's precedent here that's being extrapolated: approximately no one expected ChatGPT ten years ago. We don't know whether there are stepwise improvements at any point in the future, so it's extremely hard to estimate the risk. Estimating it as "irrelevant" might end up just as accurate as predicting in 2000 that computers could not reach chatgpt levels of language mastery.

It doesn't require an assumption, just allowing the possibility that a similar breakthrough in computing power and techniques might happen.

In comparison, pretty much everyone (?) agrees about "abuses by the companies building those things", so there's no danger of that getting left neglected.

> This looks a lot like the thumb ARM thingy?

Unsure what you asking? The RISC-V C extension has some vague similarities with thumb. But the Qualcomm proposed Zics extension absolutely hasn't. Zics adds things like more advanced addressing modes, load/store pair instructions etc. that are found in the aarch64 ISA, all with 32-bit instructions. Notable that ARM didn't create any 16-bit Thumb variant of aarch64.
Both, and also some to the old Intel machines. This is probably more relevant for actual purchasers; approximately no-one would be going from M2 to M3.

So when do we start blaming parents instead of schools? And saying, “this is what you get, take it or leave it, you have to put effort in too”? Parents treat themselves as customers expecting a turnkey service, when instead they are stakeholders with their own book of work and responsibilities they need to be accountable for to deliver the environment and education their child will need to become a functioning member of society.

We figured out how to get Azure Functions to serve a complete webapp without any extra crap wrapped around it. No gateways/proxies/etc. One function that serves the root URL[0] and has conditionals for GET/POST methods. Beyond this point, anyone with old-school mastery of HTML/CSS/JS can get the rest of the job done with basic-ass SSR and multipart form posts.

For data, we just use Azure SQL Server. Authentication is like sticking legos together now. 100% managed identities, no magic strings, etc. Our functions get the user's claims principal right in the arg list. We have zero lines of authentication code in our latest products.

This stuff is absolutely the future for a vast majority of boring old business.

One thing to think about: If your FaaS offering is capable of serving content-type of application/json, is it not also capable of serving content-type of text/html? Do your providers go out of their way to prevent you from making a simple solve on 99% of B2B bullshit?

[0]: Note that serving the root URL on an Azure Function is an undocumented hack-around item. Worst case, we would serve the /app route and our users (B2B) wouldn't really care. My suspicion is that Microsoft detected our use case and saw that it stole a LOT of thunder from a wide array of other Azure offerings (API Gateway, Front Door, et. al.), so making it slightly more complicated (at first glance) is likely intentional.
I don't understand this talk about "the public education system". Every school and school district is going to be different. Some are great and others are not. I understand if you live in an area with middling-to-poor schools, but lots of people live near great public schools.

I saw a P&T live show once where Penn was explaining about juggling dangerous things. He light the torch on fire and then said it was not very dangerous, which he proved by catching the fire end and immediately dropping it. Then he broke a glass bottle and juggled that, which was very dangerous (it would leave a nasty gash on the hand). Then he pointed out we had gasped for the fire but didn't gasp for the broken glass because it doesn't look dangerous.
I don't understand the distinction you're trying to make and judging from the other comments I think its significance might be peculiar to you.

Black 4.0 – Incredibly Black Paint
Over the years, the Wellcome Trust has received a huge number of grant applications and funded thousands of research projects. As a result, millions of files have accumulated documenting Wellcome’s communication with its grant applicants and grant holders. These documents range from application forms to award letters and reports, and they come in a variety of file formats. As part of a wider NLP task to build a classifier to tag these documents according to their categories, we were faced with the challenge of having to extract all text contained within these documents. This mainly required dealing with PDFs, which are notorious for their varying levels of machine-readability. Nowadays there are several tools available to data scientists who need to extract text from PDFs, so how did we decide which one to use for our project?
Hey, this is no place to circon-flexe that you know fancy names for little extra bits on letters.
I was home-schooled until high school. Long story short, it was a disaster. I bordered on having no education at all, on top of no socialization. I'm so fortunate I got at least four years of public school. I still think I suffer to this day. For parents who are thinking of home schooling your kids: best of luck to you. If you succeed, maybe your kids will be smarter. If you fail, you could be setting your kids up for a lifetime of stunted socialization skills and poor work habits.

> you have to answer all of the opposing side's questions truthfully

What if you don't know the answer, are only probabilistically sure of the answer, or the answer isn't a simple yes or no?

I see lots of courtroom videos and congress videos where the idiot keeps pressing for a "yes or no" but the reality of the universe is that lots of things are more nuisanced than just a yes or no.
Research on the question is limited. One review found weakly positive average outcomes for homeschooled children, although they performed worse in one interesting dimension: they were considered inferior military recruits.

Selection effects create a "blind men and the elephant" problem when considering anecdotes about homeschoolers. Homeschool children who return to public school may do so because their parents lack the resources to homeschool them effectively, so they might perform worse (academically & socially) than the average homeschool child. But homeschool children who get jobs in the technology industry and post on Hacker News are probably more successful than the average. It remains for the reader to determine whether the lack of "success" of homeschool children who join the military, in contrast to homeschooler mean success elsewhere, is due to a selection effect or a psychological effect of homeschooling.
Yeah, I’m sorry I was over generalizing and I was being Eurocentric for a reason. But the Denisovans and the Neanderthals both came from the same ancestor during the Ice Age I’m talking about which was 400,000 years ago.

These people were split because of the ice age. And that’s what caused the same cold adapted genes.

From the study:

Given the essential role of the mitochondria in skeletal muscle thermogenesis, we propose that the derived G allele, which we have shown provides better protection to the mitochondria, may have been positively selected to facilitate adaptation to cold while providing higher susceptibility to neuropsychiatric traits. This is a plausible scenario for a case of archaic adaptive introgression, as Denisovans and Neanderthals were probably already well adapted to the local environmental conditions modern humans encountered when expanding across Eurasia.
> Stop hating on devs, please

I don't think this makes sense. For example currently I have a big inclination to think bad about developers working for Vercel/recommending NextJs because they are invariably the same ppl and do it because of monetary benefits. The intentional over engineering they are adding to make a profit is insane and evil. There is no way I can make this point without "hating" the people doing it.

I have genuinely never heard or read a Trump supporter discuss any practical effect of immigration, illegal or otherwise, on their actual communities. It's all very theoretical, based on hyperbolic and often false "news" items, and involves a heavy dose of borderline glee in being emotionally callous and selfish.

I disagree with this take. If a small percentage of users still cheat / have an unfair advantage after this move, it’s still a win for Microsoft because they’ve significantly decreased that pool of people to the point that average players probably won’t encounter them often, and they’ve done it without incurring additional development costs.

In my view this is clearly a move intended to solidify brand trust.

When the choice is be happy with your assigned school based on your location, or you have to uproot and move your entire household, homeschooling becomes one of the few options when public school is failing one of your kids.
It's not a question of guilt! It's about making it easier to skim the comments.

If you had a conversation with a STEM person, they'd probably say everything is 100% fine, society and all. If you had a conversation with an artist, they'd probably say AI is pure evil theft and society is collapsing.

If you solely listen to either side, you'll be blinded by madness. On that note, how many people respect or value the effort behind software? Most don't, not most artists either. That is the nature of life.
very nice tutorial. If I can make one suggestion is to write the shaders in a GLSL file format (i.e.: .vs, .fs) then just get the text value from it; that way you can get your editor to highlight the GSLS syntax, which is pretty helpful when dealing with complex shaders.

this not, by any means, the best way of doing it, but I felt it was a bit easier writing GLSL code.

The results I get are so-so. The rubric I use to evaluate coding LLM's is to ask it to create a Python script that determines if the contents of a given directory have been changed since the last time the script was run. This should be done recursively and handle files being added, removed, or modified and be based off the contents of the files and not the timestamps.

When I ask it as one statement it performed ok, but if I made more specifications with follow-up statements, it kept trying to go down one path even though I told it to do it a different way. A solid start but it definitely needs some improvements, IMO.
Pollution from diesel fueled school busses almost certainly impacts urban kids more than rural ones, so urban districts with shorter routes and lots of stops would be the logical first step for electrification. I don't know what the price premium for the super long range electric bus is but it certainly significant. Hopefully the funding for replacing diesel with electric is made available in a way that benefits the maximum number of people.

I remember riding to school in a smoke belching 2-stroke diesel bus. It sounded (and smelled) distinctly different from our modern diesel technology. I'd like to experience a new electric bus. Maybe I can volunteer to chaperone Science Olympiad again.
Chromium is open source. And unsurprisingly all the data collection bits are open source too. (They call it UMA metrics in the codebase.) Search in the codebase for things like UMA_HISTOGRAM_ENUMERATION or SCOPED_UMA_HISTOGRAM_TIMER and with a free afternoon you'll have a pretty good idea what kind of telemetry Google really collects.

> “Average” people fall for bullshit all the time.

Average people fall for bullshit all the time when the charismatic bullshit artist is able to control the whole setting, facts, and narrative.

The rules around a criminal trial are designed in such a way to give prosecutors plenty of opportunity to shut that down. And prosecutors are very, very experienced at playing in that arena - far moreso than even a serial bullshitter is.

Also, even if these defense measures weren't in place, there's a lot of selection bias that goes into being a victim of fraud. It's true that some kind of fraud will work on just about anybody, but no particular kind of fraud is guaranteed to work on a particular person. Jury selection is semi-random, it's not pulled from the pool of 'all people who respond affirmatively to Nigerian Prince spam-emails'.
Shaders have little benefit for anything with "compression" in the name. (De)compression is maximally serial/unpredictable because if any of it is predictable, it's not compressed enough.

People used to want to write them because they thought GPU=fast and shaders=GPU, but this is just evidence that almost noone knows how to write a video codec.
Alternate day "fasting". 500 cals every other day or just two or three non-consecutive days a week (I usually do Tues, Thurs, and Sun). Don't worry about what to eat on any particular day and on non-fasting days eat whatever and however much you want. Works well for me to lose and maintain my weight within a certain range.

We have some insight into the answer to this, because public schooling is (more or less) a replacement for home schooling. Home schooling has an incredible amount of inequality built in to it. Affluent parents can hire instructors. Poor parents may not even be able to meet their children’s basic schooling needs, if it weren’t for public schools.

Obviously there’s a lot of middle ground between those two extremes, and the circumstances today don’t exactly match the circumstances of the mid-19th century, which is roughly when modern public schools started appearing in the US (based on the “Prussian model”).

There are a lot of different objectives that public schooling sets out to achieve. It can be too easy to focus on narrow sets of metrics like test scores, or collect a bunch of anecdotes about bad experiences in public schools (or bad experiences in homeschooling). IMO it’s probably a lot easier to fix this broken system rather than burn it to the ground and do homeschooling instead.
