Not all religious parents who homeschool will have bad outcomes, but it's by far the largest demographic of people who fail to actually educate their children.

As for your last statement: in most states there's no oversight. Sure, parents have to file a curriculum that gets reviewed and approved. Parents jump through that hoop by downloading a curriculum and mailing it in. There's nobody checking that they actually follow any of that curriculum. There's no state-run testing as a check and balance.

How do they get the point-of-presence VPN IPs? Does Russia go to the OpenVPN/Wireguard page of VPN services and download each country config file and build a naughty list of VPN IPs?
He thought he could walk away. I suspect his legal team knew that was not happening and the best outcome was damage control and a relative slap on the wrist. The case is too big and public for him to walk.
4Chan came online in 2003. Facebook was 2004. I'm not sure what your point is.

I agree with this, but there are situations where because of obvious incentives you cannot make this assumption. Car salesman treating me like his best friend? I wonder why?
Care to name the region of your 'degrading system' with your anecdote?
Yeah, I think the real target of this kind of marketing is indie/student filmmakers. People whose entire budget for a short film is a few thousand dollars they've pooled together.
I wonder if it's possible (and sensible) to have a bunch of cyclers after each other, spaced eg a month apart. The distance between them would be much shorter than Earth -Mars and thus allow much faster data transfer.
With these cyclers as relays, there's always one close to Mars, another close to Earth.

Sort of an interplanetary Starlink.
Yes, the thing that people forget is that Automation Breaks. When a McBurger machine breaks, that could be 50% of the store's revenue lost until a technician shows up to fix it. And that technician won't be cheap.

McDonald's is hyperoptimized to the point that I'm positive they've done the math and decided that humans are cheaper.
We’re living in interesting times, especially from AI, ML and coding point of view. The possibilities seem endless and the reach of such tools is going to lead to an “explosion” of creativity.
Did you notice that the article highlights the rise of homeschooling co-ops? This is intentional on the part of the homeschooling movement. It improves both socialization and educational opportunities (e.g., shared lab equipment).

Rather than pearl clutching about individual anecdotes or doubling down on government control, I think states should provide direct funding to homeschool co-ops in addition to direct funding to families. That money and its positive effects on socialization and educational development will only work if governments keep their noses out of the details (i.e., parallels arguments for UBI).

My son is autistic and non-verbal. The local public school program that he would be in is overwhelmed. We hire a speech language pathologist to tutor him 3-4 hours a day in our home. That is only possible because of Arizona's support for homeschooling families. Homeschooling is a great outlet when standardization fails.
The craziest thing is that that single external display can be up to 6k/60hz! Surely for those 21.2 million pixels you could run 2 4k displays at 8.2 million pixels each.
Scale isn't necessarily good. I went to a massive highschool in Texas and suspect I would have had a far better experience in a much smaller school whether it be a homeschooling co-op or a small public school (the latter didn't exist in my hometown, only massive Texan highschools).

And my best classes in uni weren't the massive lectures at the University of Texas but rather small summer school classes I took in a cheap Houston community college during summer break where I could actually interact with the teacher and fellow students.

Finally, HNers overuse "reinventing" as a pejorative. If you use a similar approach found in another option, and the HNer doesn't prefer your option over the other option, you're always "reinventing" it. As if some trivial thing in common between two options are the only would-be differences between them. It's not very thoughtful commentary.

Home-schooling could be 100% identical to public schooling except that it's not the local school system and it would still deliver on its goal of not being the local school system. That's the whole point.
In fact, I’d argue that citation makes LLM better. Kind of a “think carefully” indicator. When LLMs are able to verify those citations independently it’s going to level up again by skyrocketing the objective truthiness.
> Yes, and? That’s exactly the argument I think it is.

Then why are you responding in a thread along with someone who takes the argument as in “literally remove the police directly and let the chaos begin”? And why are you using this article as a support for their argument?

> A strawman is when you misrepresent a position as being absurd

No, a strawman is when you misrepresent someone's argument as being another absurd argument. The argument in the article isn't the one that automatic6131 is arguing against, and since you quoted the article as if it was, you're effectively making a strawman against it.

If you think the argument in the article is absurd, that's fine that you criticize it, but it's not what you're doing here.
because public school kids never kill people?
That’s because you’re asking it something too obscure that I would have at first assumed wasn’t even possible.

“Make me a billionaire… I’m still poor! Bad AI!”

You need to collaborate with the AI, use it to help with each small step of the problem, with input references provided.

To a degree Phind can do the reference chasing for you, but it’s not magic.
If you look at this from that angle, every software can be considered finished and the term becomes pretty meaningless. I can use it and it satisfies my needs, so it is finished. But what really happened here is that the entire system got abandoned - hardware, firmware and games running on top of it - and replaced with a new system and new version of Zelda. They could in principle have maintained the game, ported it to new hardware, improved the graphics, sound and gameplay to modern standards.
I see a lot of single anecdotes and see no reason not to include mine.
We leverage Flash Decoding (https://crfm.stanford.edu/2023/10/12/flashdecoding.html) in TensorRT-LLM to achieve 100 tokens per second on H100s.
I hate the term science fiction, because it encompasses pretty serious science based studies of possible futures (like the book Hail Mary or Aldous Huxley's Brave New World) with complete star-wars-like nonsense, which make the average person think of sci fi as teenager nonsense.

Similarly, here, scifi oversimplifies the situation quite a bit, anthropomorphizing a machine's intelligence, assuming that an intelligent machine would be intelligent in the same way a human would be, in an equally spread out way as a human would, and would have goals & rebel in a similar way a human would
The headline seems a little disingenuous:
“beats GPT-4 at coding”

The results are impressive and things have been really progressing quickly, so kudos.

But even by your own description in this post, something like “rivals GPT-4 at coding” seems a more accurate appraisal.
If you don't have any of those alternatives in the first place.

The Best Food Review Show Ever went to Egypt for a series and the authorities impounded their video equipment and wouldn't let the team access the equipment until they left Egypt. Sunny, the host, was super frustrated but stated that the default was buying a few iPhones and filming the whole show through those devices.

I believe this is the series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-PgumHXWVo

Postmortem for Tandem (YC S19)
In Alberta, homeschool is really more akin to "remote school" than homeschool.

The kids are still required to pass the same exams to get their high school diploma, and they still get a package of course work and required reading and such. They also have access to a teacher to ask questions to, who can help explain concepts, projects, and such.

My wife was homeschooled here growing up and she loved it. She would finish her school for the day in the morning then do whatever she wanted for the rest of her time. She would also finish her courses early and have long summers. Now she has a masters degree and leads teams at work.

Definitely not for every family or every kid, but the outcomes don't have to be terrible
Convincing more people that your approach is necessary and that technology will not evolve quickly enough to we (western people) continue to live like we used to? (until now, I brilliantly failed around me)
Wow, thanks for the information!

Side question: what can be done on Windows in such a case?
They realized?

This new “basic” “pro” has only two thunderbolt 3 ports but “pro” “pro” has four thunderbolt 4 ports.

Basic Pro even supports only one external monitor.

Basic Pro is very misleading people when they buy MacBook Pro.
If I had to chose between making more money off screwing over an unemployed middle aged person seeking medical treatment or less money not doing that, I would choose the latter. As would most people, because they’re not depraved.
I guess if having friends, family, and a garage is "privilege", then more power to them -- they'd be idiots not to take advantage of this privilege.

People socialised for thousands, in fact hundreds of thousands of years before schools were invented.

I went to school and got beat up, colour me sceptical about school as a mechanism for socialisation.
> I work remotely, my wife freelances.

Are you both working full-time? What's the arrangement? How do you fit the homeschooling in around your jobs?

My wife and I have talked about this a lot. We don't have kids yet, but we're very open to the idea of homeschooling when the time comes. I'm not sure how we'll do it though - we're in a better position than most (we make good money and both wfh) but there are only so many hours in the day. I'm interested to know how other people make it work.
I'm absolutely serious. Apart from using my work laptop to visit an ad-ridden page, doing stupid timed sign-up activities like going to Disney World, or using my older work desktop that was so old and slow that it spent 10 minutes every morning at 100% disk utilization before calming down, I can't think of a time when I've experienced noticeably slow webpage loading in years, maybe a decade.
> > The underlying problem is the completely unregulated nature.

> I didn't need your permission to give birth to my children, why do I need your permission when deciding how I educate them?

Because your children are not your property, they are your responsibility and we as society have decided that we want to make sure that the education is to a certain standard.

As a side note I find it fascinating how people who feel strongly about individual freedom, believe they should have ultimate authority (sometimes it feels more like ownership) over their children. Why do you believe that the freedoms do not apply to children?
Yeah, I would say this is a prompting problem and not a model problem. In a product area we're building out right now with GPT-4, our prompt (more or less) tells it to provide exactly 3 values and it does that and only that. It's quite fast.

Also, use case thing. It is very likely the case that for certain coding use cases, Phind will always be faster because it's not designed to be general purpose.
Hmm, do I need to re-evaluate my opinion of Tim Robbins?

He's about the only name I recognise that I wouldn't have immediately placed in the "giving free speech a bad name" category.

Yeah that was what I was thinking as I was watching, it's pretty wild that we've advanced to the point where a working version of their fantasy technology would seem completely normal if a little cutting edge.
Not a lawyer, but I am not sure that is entirely true.

Theoretically, if on the stand they asked SBF if he stole candy from the baby next door, I think he could take the fifth with regards to that questioning because it is for a different crime?
Just a personal anectode: I'm pretty sure that this wasn't true for me. I think some humans have an instinct for survival, maybe all of them, if a persons emotional needs are met then developing, advancing, learning is a natural byproduct without any external pressure. Just like we learn to talk and walk without someone telling us to do.

All the push just hurt me in the end, I would be a lot better off without traditional school, rarely I learned anything useful there.
> You can't tell me with a straight face that public education is a uniform experience in the US.

No one claimed that "public education is a uniform experience in the US". Did you reply to the wrong comment?

Do you think the variability is wider among public schools, or among homeschools?
No, the only reason I'm gonna buy a Mac is to be able to build & publish an iPhone app.

The Apple ecosystem is closed, you must pay the Apple hardware tax to get in.
> One of the key problems is that both gmail and Yahoo UIs actively encourage users to report messages as spam rather than unsubscribing.

I think this is, generally, the correct approach. There isn't really a salient reason to discriminate between "email I don't want from someone I don't know" ("true spam", if you will), and "email I don't want from someone I do know" (aggressive newsletter campaigns et al). Spam is the button to send a signal that you got an email you didn't want.

> My reaction there is to remove the reporter from all lists because the amount of damage a single spam report can do is immense; a single spam report can block delivery for weeks at a time to the 10k others that legitimately requested messages.

This is the system working as intended to me, as the customer of the email service. I like that my email provider is throwing their weight around to put the fear of God into bulk senders and forcing them to think about how this campaign will impact their sendability. I would much rather annoy the hell out of bulk senders than cede emails to spammers like we have with phones.
If it's a criminal offence it'll still happen, it just won't be reported.

The gov will pat themselves on the back telling everyone how they've caused a drop in the number of incidents.
Most programmers never get to experience the amazing feeling of being truly done with a software project. I used to work on video games in the 90s which would go into a box and onto a shelf. We did not have updates or patches. The starting, creating and finishing of a concrete and complete project is not available for most programmers today.
Thanks for writing and sharing that! I think I generally come to a similar conclusion. One additional thought on my mind is that the consequence for failure for a kid can be low to nil. But as an adult I’m more risk averse: I don’t want to fail to ship a project and possibly be fired, so I lean towards approaches whose process and outcome I can already envision.

I also have so few free hours that my main concern is, “am I about to waste the 8 hours of hobby time I have this week?” I have this problem in video games too: I don’t want to build a character that might suck. I can’t afford to play this game twice, unlike when I was younger.

I think there’s definitely some level of truth to this fearlessness the “ignorant” have. I mentor a high school robotics team and they prototype things so fast. I think that’s also because the stakes are so low: it’s only thousands of dollars. Nobody is being fired. The competition is for fun.

So in a way, maybe it’s just a rose tinted look at younger people. Maybe they’re more fearless than us not because we lost that trait, but because we gained many more constraints.
Things we learned so far about the Google antitrust case
Well the issue is that the United States is very diverse. Most countries are basically monocultural ethnostates. My kids do not belong to American society but they definitely belong to a particular culture. And within that culture, and families who partake, we do 'share' our children.

But, to bring the culture wars into this, how do you feel that you have joint guardianship of a child whose parent fundamentally disagrees with you? With our church group, I trust the parents to discipline, to entertain and to teach in a way consistent with my beliefs, even if they're very different people. On the other hand, my next door neighbor is convinced my daughter is a boy because she likes trucks and would like her to be trans, like she has already transed her son. When you perceive other adults attempting to abuse your child and this is a common enough movement you're not going to be able to feel any joint sense of guardianship. And it's not just culture issues. Unsurprisingly, neighbors children are also poorly behaved, disrespectful, and never get told no.

America has fully embraced multiculturalism without assimilation, so there are now dozens of cultures, so no sense of joint guardianship over children.

The particular problem that you're showing in your thinking is just thinking of an LLM that is a text generator on purpose. You're not thinking of a self piloting war machine whos objective is to get to a target and explode violently. While it's terminal goal is to blow up, its instrumental goal is to not blow up before it gets to the target as this is a failure to achieve it's terminal goal.
I wrote a little embedded TCP stack a while back as a learning project. I just read the RFCs and coded away. I'm sure it's the world's least efficient stack, but it wasn't too hard to get basic functionality.
They're not reinventing anything, they're just doing education with a better instructor:student ratio.

We all know the worse the ratio the worse the education tends to be. Tutoring is a long established means of compensating for this, by supplementing sessions with a 1:1 ratio, clearly illustrating the problem.
All browsers already heavily throttle js timers execution in background tabs. You also have specific apis like requestAnimationFrame to decouple UI timers from non-UI timers like setInterval.

Stopping it entirely and then suddenly restarting on foreground would be probably too much of a breaking change for the websites' developers. I mean, I guess it could be possible but would require properly thinking it through. Some browsers aggressively freeze background tabs but AFAIR they do full reload on unfreeze.

The breakage area of shipping that kind of change into the web ecosystem of a major browser is huge.
Current LLMs can already roleplay quite well, and when doing so they produce linguistic output that is coherent with how a human would speak in that situation. Currently all they can do is talk, but when they gain more independence they might start doing more than just talk to act consistently with their role. Self preservation is only one of the goals they might inherit from the human data we provide to them.
This is just nonsense.

Use 'pip freeze' to capture the versions of all installed packages into a file next to your requirement.txt file.

Each time you run 'pip install -r ...' use the newer of the output of 'pip freeze' and the base requirement.txt file.

And put the above logic in a simple helper script so it does the right thing every time. Don't type these commands manually every time.
“I’ll intentionally disadvantage my kids in the name of the ideal of egalitarianism” said basically no parent ever.
why not? a netlist can be easily 'tokenized'. its already in parse-able format. you can just could just chop off the English input portion and it will consume. in fact I am sure you could write a 'read & speak' type program to read the RTL spec and feed it in but I'll suspect they'll a custom trained LLM on millions of generated RTL examples.

i'd have rather ppl creates some fork of android sans google trackers.

one issue with open source phones is the divergence of talent means more unpatched vulns, imho.

i don't have the money to experiment like i used to, so i don't like to comment on these matters -- i suspect kai, like many other projects, may struggle financially and go dark in ways that make ppl more paranoid than they should be rather than anything truly nefarious.

if they'd done proper user research they'd have found lots of people wanna just do navigation and calls on the phone then hotspot to a laptop... but instead the os got bloated (imho)
A lot of people here are bringing up all of the expensive gear surrounding the iPhone that helped give it the professional look. This isn't unique to iPhone as a sensor.

I work in TV and have spent a great deal of time on set shooting. The only time I've ever relied entirely on the camera's sensor and lens for a high quality image is shooting outside, and even then that requires adjustments, such as facing away from the sun, moving away from contrasty shadows, ect.

Outside of documentaries, every other shoot will have a great deal of time, effort, and money spent on lighting and set design to elevate what is being shot. For scripted projects/films, an even smaller % of shots will be shot with the raw, available light/environment.

What Apple did with the iPhone 15 proved that the iPhone can be used in a professional setting without being the on set bottle neck. For example, a short film shoot which had it's budget blown entirely on renting an Alexa will be bottle necked by the lack of lighting for the scene. Similarly, a short film which had its budget blown entirely on renting lights will be bottle necked if its shot on an iPhone 4.

The goal is balance and for smaller productions, that balance is found in budgeting. If anyone on set has an iPhone 15 Pro in their pocket, the shoot suddenly has a viable second camera-- maybe its not good enough for the entire shoot, but its surely going to be good enough as a B-Cam or even as an A-Cam in certain scenarios where a smaller form factor is required to get the shot.

I don't think Apple is sugar coating their demonstration here with all the expensive toys being used in parallel with the iPhone. The use of these tools in parallel with the iPhone IS the demonstration.

Like any good video, if its shot correctly and edited correctly, you won't have an easy time visually identifying what sensor is being used.
No, I'm not Canadian and have no idea what program you're talking about.
