> A huge +1 to this, from observing the many friends I have who do homeschooling. Judging by their results -- super-smart, super-well-behaved children

Maybe.

The primary difference between the upper classes "homeschooling" and the lower classes "homeschooling" is that the upper classes will purchase tutors/teachers and the lower classes will do it themselves.

A couple of local elementary school kids from your upper middle class housing development being put together in a pod with two teachers will blow the doors off ANY school--public, private, homeschool, whatever. Homeschoolers from lower socioeconomic classes can keep up with this, but it's a LOT more effort than they generally estimate.

The problem is the dramatic increase in sophistication required in middle school grades. Writing goes from very basic sentences to multiple paragraphs. The vast majority of people are not equipped to deal with this as they can't write well enough themselves. Math goes from multiplication tables to Algebra I. The vast majority of the population is not equipped to teach Algebra I. Science comes online as a subject in middle school--we know most people aren't equipped to teach that.

The higher socioeconomic classes will recognize that they cannot handle the teaching and purchase appropriate teachers if they are committed.

The lower socioeconomic classes cannot apply the relevant resource even if they recognize the problems. However, they are committed to homeschooling at that point and cannot back down and say that they need to put their child into public school.
>Why is there an assumption that what is on the test is inherently worthless but every individual teacher is qualified to design an entire curriculum?

Because my mother went to school for six years for exactly that purpose? Some states have pretty high requirements for teachers, and they tend to do well.

Also, the "teach to test" BS is extremely locality dependent. There are zero things you can generalize across all public schools in the US.
Possibly worth noting that the encoding speeds for AV1 have improved out of all recognition over the past few years. Depending on what Twitch were using, even back in 2020 it might have been orders of magnitude slower than encoding other relatively modern formats. Today that is no longer true and in some circumstances encoding AV1 seems to be faster than almost anything else since H264. So if hardware decoding is also improving, it’s certainly possible that more services could potentially use AV1 now or in the near future.

(Source for the above is just some personal experiments. I happened to be doing a load of benchmarking with video codecs this weekend, as we’re hoping to start using AV1 for a website I run.)

In my experience, it’s less risk to take the advice in the article because even if you only have a monolith as the sole producer/consumer you could still mess up and make a backwards incompatible change. Humans are fallible, so try to minimize human error.

One way to minimize the human error is by only extending the schema rather than changing it and forcing your monolith to correctly make changes to existing queries.

I’m not saying adding an API is bad, because it’s not. I just think it’s solving a different set of problems.
> ... we're using LLMs in the wrong way ...

What do you see as the "right way"?
I've got an M1 mini already, so it's good to have the Intel MBP around for occasional x86-only stuff. Built-in USB-A is also convenient.

There's a lot of streetlamps that switched to early versions of LED bulbs that start glowing purple as they age. I've actually really come to like the purple color illuminating streets, it's much easier on the eyes than the bright white.
That's correct - OpenRW is a from-scratch reimplementation of GTA3, while re3 is a manual decompilation that's capable of reproducing the original executable (or something very close to it). Both projects are very impressive in their own right.

When re3 went public, OpenRW archived their repository; when re3 was DMCA'd, OpenRW unarchived their repository; and when re3 was sued, OpenRW ceased development.

(This is based on my recollection from observing this two years ago - there may be other factors involved)
Thus making it just as bad as CDDL+GPL; you can do it out of tree, but it'll never get mainlined.
> This is not an accurate description of school.

Hmm... so you're saying that students aren't segregated into artificial cohorts of a specific age, and there isn't an authority figure in the classroom telling them what to do?

Perhaps that's the case where you live (though I'm...skeptical), but it certainly is the case here and everywhere else I've ever lived.
A 2009 MBA can still be used if the SSD dies. You can get a replacement or you can plug in an external drive to install on and boot off of. You can upgrade the storage space on that model if you want to.

Since 2018 and the T2 chip, the BIOS is stored on the soldered storage chip pair. Either one of those two chips or a capacitor adjacent to them dies, you've not only lost your files and OS. You can't replace them. You can't even plug in an external drive to boot off of since the BIOS is now stored on the SSD chips as well instead of a separate ROM as before.

2016-2017 soldered the storage, but you could at least work around it. 2018+, there are no more workarounds. If any part of your SSD fails now, you've got an expensive useless brick.

Swapping wear your SSD out faster? SOL. Capacitor fails and shunts 13V through your SSD? SOL. Anything at all happens to either one of your SSD chips? SOL.

Either pay for that AppleCare in perpetuity or buy a whole new laptop. There are no more workarounds.
In education also: "Go to university and do anything you like and it'll all work out. Don't worry about the debt."

The headline number of 96% (in the original new release) is very misleading.
What matters is not the fraction of gaseous carbon that ends up in the fuel (the yield), it's the energetic efficiency of the process. ie: Nobody will spend 100 Joules of energy to store, say, 1 Joule of energy. The paper says their process has low energy efficiency (low enough they don't seem to want to say the number)[1]:

> ...rather than relying on the CO2(gas) feedstock, bipolar membrane (BPM) electrolyzers with aqueous bicarbonate HCO3−(aq) input were demonstrated (Figure S2b). In principle, the energy-intensive CO2 regeneration process could be circumvented. In practice, however, the BPM induces a large overpotential, causing *low energy efficiency*, and it still suffers from CO2 escape, low FE, low yield, and low operation lifetime. [** emphasis added]

The thing is, everyone who has ever said or done anything stupid can say the same, that they were only doing it to troll people. Pretending to be stupid isn't trolling, it's making yourself look stupid.
> Toll roads charge vehicles based upon the number of axles they have.

So now you've proposed an entirely different kind of law because considering what happens in the application of the original one revealed an issue. Maybe doing this is actually beneficial.

> The law is much better than you at doing this, they've literally been doing it for hundreds of years. It's not the impossible task you imagine it to be.

Judges are not empowered to replace vehicle registration fees or CAFE standards with toll roads even if the original rules are problematic or fail to achieve their intended purpose. You have to go back to the legislature for that, who would have been better to choose differently to begin with, which is only possible if you think through the implications of what you're proposing, which is my point.
> where marginalized voices self-censor because they are afraid.

I just read an article the other day saying that the majority of Americans don't feel comfortable stating their opinions in public. For university students the number was quite a bit higher (I wanna say 65%). If self-censorship is a problem, then it's one we should be confronting now, not just worrying about in hypothetical futures.

I agree with you that the solution is...well, more sophisticated and self-moderating systems. I was going to say 'more sophisticated censorship', but actually I think that should be a last resort.

The single biggest part of the problem, I think, is the incentives facing media, tech, and news companies. Social media companies have every incentive to drive engagement, which often means promoting the most controversial posts and people. Then media & news companies are incentivized to report on or debate with those posts & people in order to generate clicks and ad views, which raises their profile still further. The result is that we all see the worst (or at least, most extreme) behavior and opinions on the other side. This makes our opponents into a caricature, while at the same time we end up adopting and defending the extremists on our own side. Being constantly exposed to the nuts on the far side leads to the belief that censorship is good and necessary.

If we just aligned the incentives for the health and benefit of the readers, the crazies would sink to the bottom and be forgotten. That's hard to do, but I'm holding out some hope for federated social media. Of course...that still leaves news & media companies.
I've elaborated plenty in the post you literally just responded to. Nothing further needs to be said. Suffice it to say that your original claim was unjustifiable given what we currently know.
That's what I said, yes. There's a difference between duplicated logic and redundant code. And it's clear the Grug article agrees with that.
This article is insane, there's no other word for it. If anybody even survived WWIII, it would be to a life which was not even worth living.

There wouldn't be anything like investors after WWIII. To all those billionaires building bunkers: what, exactly, are you going use to pay your guards with, which is more valuable than what they are guarding? How are you even going to get to your bunker? Call an Uber?

Speculations as to what this would mean to your portfolio indicate a mentality so far out of touch with reality that as to be indistinguishable from the ravings of a lunatic.
> Since I never had tests or grades of any sort it didn't really matter.

I was homeschooled to grade 3, and just because my parents didn't give me tests or grades, it absolutely mattered.

I had to correctly solve, both verbally and in writing, enough questions at the end of the current chapter of the textbook, to a standard that satisfied them. For every subject of study. Every single day.
Public schools don't have some inalienable right to that money either -- they are entrusted with the money by popular vote. If we want that to continue, then there needs to be very broad consensus that the things teachers are teaching are the right things, or at least not the wrong things.
>The large expansion of homeschooling suggesting by the article suggests a great rise in people who no longer believe that the expertise promoted by teaching schools is actually relevant to teach their children.

"Believe" is the important word there. Are these people removing children from school because they actually can do a better job, or because the TV told them a school somewhere had a litterbox for a furry student?

Scene from "The Founder"
"You have a miniscule revenue stream, no cash reserves, and an albatross of a contract....

What you ought to be doing is buying up plots of land, then turning around and leasing said plots to franchisees, who as a condition of their deal should be permitted to lease from you and you alone. This will provide you with two things: One, a steady, upfront revenue stream. Money flows in before the first stake is in the ground. Two, greater capital for expansion. Which in turn fuels further land acquisition, which in turn fuels further expansion. And so on and so
on. Land... That’s where the money is. (BEAT) And control."

But you can treat religious believers as a bloc because they hold a core set of beliefs, and those beliefs cause them to act a certain way. In fact, the whole point of a religion is to bind a "bloc" of people to a common set of beliefs.

The same way you can associate conspiracy theory nationalism with Qanon believers, you can associate supernatural supremacism (i.e. "chosen by god") with Christians, Muslims, and Jews. While these religions may promote healthy behavior for "in group" morality e.g. community, family, etc. the effects on a geopolitical scale are catastrophic.
> Look at a bunch of real network data in e.g. Wireguard

I think you probably meant data in e.g. Wireshark?

But another good suggestion (or maybe what you meant) might be to look at 'real' (production) networking code in e.g. Wireguard, I imagine.

Well, that was just the wrong answer, since their software is supposed to be releasing memory back to the OS properly. Overcommit is just a coping mechanism, you should be addressing the root cause.

All my old laptops since 2003 still have functional CPUs and RAM. I'm not overly concerned about the CPU/RAM situation, especially have seen the advantages to a shared CPU/GPU/RAM Arm architecture. Would I prefer upgradeable RAM, sure, but it's not the weak link. Know what's actually failed me over the years?

ya - I cant update my m1 macbook air without going into DFU mode and using configurator to “revive” my macbook. Otherwise it just tells me “Failed to personalize the software update”. Made the mistake of going to the Apple Store where they promptly restored my machine deleting all my data - only to encounter the exact same issue when the next update is shipped. This way you cant even show them that their fix did not actually fixed it permanently.
At best, I expect it will maybe reach parity with (more likely fall short of) the kind of accessibility that other low-code application development tools and WYSIWYG website builders have reached. Specifically, I can see where this kind of utility will be too limited for professionals and skilled amateurs to bother with, beyond maybe doing some kind of “boilerplate+”, and yet it will remain out of reach for the vast majority of laypeople who will quickly realize that programming requires more than just a grasp of syntax and an IDE. Square Space and Wix haven’t meaningfully impacted the professional web design market as near as I can tell, and Airtable hasn’t cost any SQL engineers their jobs.

Just my gut instinct, though, and I’ve certainly been wrong before.

I think it's a huge shame, as Rust is one of the few languages that tracing is effectively native in, and it's shocking that the defacto standard of tracing transport doesn't interop well.

Admittedly, I think part of it is just where Rust is on the language adoption curve and where Otel is in its project lifecycle as well. Writing your own subscriber might not be a terrible idea, we internally end up needing to do similar things as we find limitations/bugs that we can't wait for upstream to fix (but we're a vendor and that makes more sense for us than end users!)
> At some point, online conduct crosses the line from criticism (speech) to disruption/DOS (behavior).

Then it's up to the social media company to decide what to do about it. Twitter has a First Amendment of association. Twitter can ban the comments, or leave them up, or do anything in between. If Barack Obama were currently a government official, Obama would have latitude to ask Twitter to restrict N-word comments on his posts, but the First Amendment would prohibit him from coercing Twitter to restrict N-word comments, and would also prohibit him from blocking the commenters.

Note: Twitter has a First Amendment right to ban speech, not only conduct. "Has a right" doesn't mean "should", but in the first place the featured article is about a legal issue, not an ethical issue.

>It's only a conflict of interest if either the seller or the buyer expect their agents to negotiate price for them.

There are other details that come up through a transaction that many people wouldn't even think about. Are appliances included? Window treatments? Leftover paint? What year the transaction closes could impact taxes or incentives for either party. Inspections (what types of inspections are permitted, their timeline, what will be repaired prior to sale).

If there are disagreements about any of those, or if the property was materially misrepresented by the selling agent, it's way more messy than if another agent is involved and it's clear who represents who.
Been a while since I used it in anger but IIRC no real array type, classes are weird, 1-based indices, kind of crummy syntax (does anyone really like `end`?), no static types (when I used it anyway), the stupid split between Lua and LuaJIT.

It's definitely not the worst. It's just a little too weird to be able to write it without actually learning it, which is what you want in a config language. And 1-based indices just shows poor taste.
