> It's telling that the kids don't jump in here to defend the practice, hardly ever...

Homeschooled kids are a minority, and therefore formerly-homeschooled adults are a minority too. More of a minority, even (since the rate of homeschooling was lower when we were growing up). It's not "telling", it's simply the fact that not a ton of people exist to give a defense.

For my part I was homeschooled and had a great experience. My parents were able to challenge me in ways that the local public school wasn't willing to, and they made consistent efforts to make sure I had social exposure to other kids. I don't believe I am lacking in any way because my parents homeschooled me - in fact, if anything I believe it was the better option for me.

And I think you need to remember that the other side of the coin exists too. My wife went to public school, and was bullied by other kids. She has social anxiety and other issues to this day (she's 42 years old) as a result. That doesn't mean public schools are all bad, of course, but people need to stop ignoring the downsides of public school when they compare the two paradigms.
Isn't battery life a reason to keep it on? The refresh rate will be down to 24hz most of the time.
I don't think they're saying they're doing batch size of 1, just giving performance expectations of user facing performance
Watching my 10 year old manipulate the mindcraft ui is mindblowing - she was anticipating the UI before it appeared. On the other hand, watching my officemate try to edit command lines by pressing left arrow 65 times fills me with rage. I think there's a lot of low hanging fruit where people aren't aware of the power of their tools.
I honestly don't think the coding is that impressive. What sells it is the assets. It used to be that all quick demos / gamejam like games like these (which it honestly is) looked like crap. Now it suddenly can look a bit polished. Not just boxes and lines, but actually somewhat nice graphics (which is probably too close to what it mimics and would end with a angry letter from a bird attorney if was used in an actual game, though).
Would you believe the paper that said that teaching by encouraging research with the scientific method is better? Would be very ironic if it said that it wasn't.
macOS is very good at adaptively reducing refresh rate when nothing is happening on screen, with the panel reportedly supporting the full range of 1-120hz so barring badly engineered apps that are permanently pinned at max refresh, the battery impact of keeping ProMotion on is minimal for most use cases.
The kernel will work fine, but at minimum EL2 runs the Qualcomm Hypervisor (Gunyah) which prevents native KVM virtualization from taking place. This is true of all Snapdragon platforms.

Windows supports virtualization on the 8 Gen 3 only because they use a custom setup to load a signed binary blob ("applet") into the EL2 hypervisor, whose signature it is is hardcoded to accept, and that blob/applet then can be used by Windows as a kind of shim into EL2-land to spawn VMs, etc. But Qualcomm's hypervisor is always present and enforcing its security policy.

In practice every single modern system is running tons of binary firmware blobs, it's mostly where you draw the line on functionality and isolation of components (security, integrity, availability.) Here, Qualcomm does intentionally reduce some functionality, which is pretty bad when you consider that the UEFI spec for ARM mandates EL2 handover, I think, and they just ignore it.
That, to me, says more about how other professions are underpaid, or perhaps just that software creates a lot of value. The work my team is directly responsible for generates tens of millions of dollars for my company - 120k feels appropriate.
Phind has been pretty nice to use for some rubber ducking with C#. Only disadvantage is using Discord to wall communication.
How so? Lambdalith means simpler, faster deployments, and easier to run locally.
Conceptually, yes they are the same unit. Which is part of the beauty of it; it's not a radical paradigm shift like monolith->microservices or systemd->k8s. But the developer experience/productivity of bending Django or Rails in different ways is far superior to bending e.g. MySQL or PostgreSQL*. HTTPS is plainly a much better, and more widely available, integration protocol than N different SQL dialects.

The agent's commission is irrelevant. That just means the buyer needs to make a higher offer to be competitive with someone who is not using an agent.
Do you really think kids in school sit silently and motionless in class for several hours? I’d invite you to sample any classroom to test that hypothesis. There are many reasons to suppose schools aren’t the best for socialization, but that’s not it.
legal personhood (such as corporate personhood) are tools/frameworks which facilitate certain economic actions, such as the creation of charters for specific initiatives.

Like any useful force amplifier, legal personhood has effectively been co-opted to benefit those entities which stand to gain from it (e.g., corporations, large-money political donors, etc).

Thus, it probably won't surprise anyone when AIs are granted legal personhood, to bypass the detrimenal effects they will inevitably have on natural persons.

That said, it is likely a good thing to keep meatspace in some kind of privileged legal category, lest the rights of legal persons outweight those of natural persons (which seems to be the inevitable conclusion, and goal, of all this).
You've got more than one app sharing a db when you deploy a new version. Unless you're happy with downtime during deploys as the cost of not having to manage how your schema evolves.

These kinds of best practices make sense regardless of how many apps access a db.

Following the advice doesn't also prevent you from enforcing a strict contract for external access and modification of the data.
I used an attorney specializing in real-estate to represent our side of the house during my first home purchase. We subsequently reduced the bid by 3% with an explicit note about why (no buyer's agent commission to pay). The seller's agent was a broker and was apparently motivated because they accepted our deal along with fixing a list of little items uncovered during inspection. We paid our lawyer a $2-3k iirc.

I'll never know if that broker got 6% from the seller or took 3% to close the deal, but our strategy worked: I paid 5 figures less for the home than what was being asked for at a time when houses were selling for over asking price in this area.

It's worth a shot I guess. 2 warnings: Some seller's agents will get very pissed at you (b/c this and other things like Redfin's 1% is disrupting their cash cow and they're not stoked about it). It might be difficult to find an attorney since most RE attorneys focus on commercial deals.
That NCIS scene is ridiculed a lot. But I think it was here that someone told me writers intentionally write s like this to f with people like us and laugh about it. And I now think that is true and it changed me.

Not to be confused with potassium chlorate, which doesn't work as well.
That is really not how it works, and goes to show there is at least some value in agents, as they do know how the process works.

The "standard" in the US is that the sellers pay 6% commission, with 3% going to their listing agent, and 3% going to the buyers agent. If, as a buyer, you show up without a listing agent and don't demand 3%, it is totally reasonable, and quite common, to ask for a 3% price discount since you have no agent. Any sensible seller would take your offer as it means they are getting the same amount of money.

I'm not saying this always "works", but sometimes people act like these are rules that are set in stone, as opposed to things you can negotiate for.

Back in the early 00s I went with a discount listing agent who only charged 1%. They recommended I still give 3% to the buyers agent, but I said fuck that, and only offered 2% (market wasn't crazy strong but also wasn't weak), and the buyer's agent accepted that. So all in I sold my house for 3% instead of 6%, which I thought was totally fair given the amount of work the agents did.
"retroactive events" is probably the thing to look for, e.g. https://www.infoq.com/news/2018/02/retroactive-future-event-...
The full decision can be found here [1]. The consumer protection agency did also seek that LinkedIn be forced to respect DNT, but the court did not grant this relief, reasoning that it was overly broad in two ways. First, it did not specify precisely enough what is meant by DNT — in particular, the suit did not limit itself to the DNT header, but referred to any kind of configured signals sent by the browser. Second, it described the behaviour that LinkedIn is supposed to cease when encountering such a signal in an overly broad manner.

If upheld, the judgement certainly seems to open the door for future litigation, and one might even hope for potential targets to adjust their behaviour in anticipation of it, but I would not hold my breath there.

IIRC x264 does have a lookahead motion estimation that can run on the GPU, but I wasn't sure I could explain this properly.

That said, I disagree because while motion estimation is parallel, motion coding is not because it has to be "rate distortion optimal" (depending on your quality/speed tradeoff.) So finding the best motion for a block depends on what the entropy coder state was after the last block, because it can save a lot of bits by coding inaccurate/biased motion.

That's why x264 and ffmpeg use per-frame CPU threading instead (which I wrote the decoding side of) because the entropy coder resets across frames.
You mean, somebody wrote down "eye witness" accounts many decades after the event occurred (that contradict each other in important ways. Like, which day was Jesus crucified? The day after Passover was eaten (Synoptic gospels) or the day before it was eaten? (John)), that have absolutely no way to be verified. I don't see how that is "extraordinary evidence." Some ancients also claimed to see various pagan Gods, but I'm guessing you don't consider that to be "evidence."
It doesn't sound like your problem is linear history, so much as it's "having multiple long-lived branches".

But also, you should be fine as long as you use merge commits. The thing that will mess up your history is if you let it rebase commits, since then you'll end up with diverged history.

> The electric-vehicle maker also argued it was unclear whether Autopilot was engaged at the time of the crash.

This doesn't seem to be a very good case study when the core argument by Tesla is that the autopilot functionality wasn't actually engaged.
That isn't the concern. The concern is that the "rules for appropriate content" have been moved to restrict views that, while outside the mainstream, are not hateful or violent. The most obvious example being the suppression of COVID origins or criticism of COVID response policies:

Saying that "I believe COVID was the result of a lab leak, here is my evidence" versus Saying "I believe COVID was the result of a lab leak, here is my evidence, and as a result we should [do something violent/illegal]"

See the difference? The former should _not_ be restricted under any circumstance, even if the "evidence" is bunk. Let the fact that the evidence is bunk sink the theory, not the moderators. The latter, on the other hand, contains a call to violence, so it should reasonably be restricted.

Of course, a privately owned platform like Twitter/X could say the former isn't allowed on their platform and they would be within their rights to restrict it. However if they restrict it because of pressure from the US government, that falls into a more precarious situation.

Of course the 1st amendment only applies to the government. Platforms can restrict anything they want with or without explanation. But the government can't pressure platforms to restrict things, that _does_ violate the 1st amendment, as the private company is then acting as a proxy for the government.
I don't even understand this.

FL officials are encouraging homeschooling? That's silly, given that the majority of kids will still go to public schools.

I encourage you to report any behavior you believe to be illegal or unethical to both your local realtor association as well as your state agency. That’s why those organizations exist and we are all better if people are held to professional standards.
> ad hominem attacks: is that all you've got?

No, there was also the other 95% of my post.

> Where do you see anything about "twitter must promote my views"? Where do you see anything about NYT, or anyone, being prohibited from publishing its own reaction?

NYT was an example, to illustrate the role of internet media companies in terms of Old Media. I don't literally mean the NYT is one of this group's specific targets. Sorry that wasn't clear.

As for the rest, it's in the linked declaration that this thread's about. Aside from worrying about government censorship programs (sure, that'd be bad, OK) it's really the only other thing in it, in fact. The signatories don't want Twitter (and more than just Twitter, since we had the confusion above—that's an example, to be clear) to express their opinion that certain posts are nonsense, or to remove tweets Twitter doesn't want to publish. That's censorship and compelled speech. FWIW I think certain core things about how social media companies operate ought to be illegal (all the spying) or ought to shift more legal liability onto them (they are publishers, whatever they claim), such that they'd probably all have to shutter, so it's not that I love social media companies—but these folks want to compel speech and censor, it's literally what they're asking for. Meanwhile, if they don't want to force someone to promote and publish their speech for them, they have plenty of outlets for that [EDIT Like their own website—and oh, look, that's exactly where they've published this!]—yet here we are, so I guess they do want that.

> When I search for "Twitter" I find a reference to the Twitter files, which demonstrated that governmental units communicated directly with social networks to get them to censor certain viewpoints. Shortly SCOTUS will probably rule on that, which should settle the matter of whether that's even legal (prediction: it's not).

K.

> As for "a bunch of nonsense" -- that's what free speech is: the right to spew a bunch of nonsense.

Fine?

> And as for socials being "forced" -- it's sufficient if they follow the same rules named for the licensing of standards-essential patents:

> FRAND: fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory

I entirely don't see what that has to do with this. [EDIT] Actually, let me amend that: let's say we apply this rule to social media for some reason, then where's the room for their simply not wanting to publish, promote, or frame your post as you'd prefer, for any reason they choose? This is the exact thing I'm writing about! You wondered where I'm getting this from, look at your own post!
You'd have to test the bot, then feed those test results back into the bot. It's not really any different than people testing and iterating on their own abilities, it's just that humans are continuous learning and LLMs are not. If someone asked if I could build a decent shelf, the answer is probably, but I wouldn't really know till I tried and measured my results since I've not done exactly that before.

Arizona has a similar "right to control" test for IC vs employee that California does, so the legal differences are minimal. If you would be reclassified as an employee under CA law, you're 90% likely to be classified as an employee under AZ law as well.
Everything can be abused, some things are abused more often than others. There comes a point when something becomes more trouble than it's worth. DNS/networking/information hasn't hit that threshold, but open DNS resolvers, open SMTP relays, and URL shorteners seem to have.

A huge hurdle with trying to cut costs is because of NAR themselves, and local Realtor Associations. Any Realtor is with NAR and a local Association, which heavily restricts what they can do. Not being in a local Association can remove your access to the MLS, reducing your visibility to other agents, and remove your access to the state-specific legal forms.

Add in closing attorneys and home inspectors being brought in-house to reduce costs, it can be a very expensive start-up cost that would require lots of capital to achieve. Zillow/Opendoor got REALLY close, but they stopped (Zillow) or, like you said, lowball offers because they're fronting all of the backend costs that used to be spread across 4 or 5 different services.
They are. Moreover, the idea that AI companies are missing and/or not implementing this “obvious” tactic is hilarious. Folks, these approaches have profound consequences for training and inference performance. Y’all aren’t pointing out some low hanging fruit here, lol
Maybe the percentage should be laddered, or there should be a floor.
> I used to think religion was about deep fear, now I see it more as about deep care.

As someone who has grown up in a religious, conservative household, I strongly disagree. Sure, there are many good values that a religious conservative household can foster such as independence and self accountability. However, you cannot its ignore downside either. The same culture promotes fear of the “other” ie different religion, different ethnicity / race, different political ideology, et al. Whether or not these fears are justified is beside the point. I’m just pointing out that they exist which runs counter to your very short and limited personal experience. (I’m also not saying that the other side is free of any fault either.)

I really like lambda for all my personal projects. Linux virtual machine means paying a monthly fee. For me Lambda is free.

Yes, while I "know" that what is going on is a combination of extremely precise, perfectly executed actions with cards combined with psychological stuff, it's the effortlessness many times, this routine in particular, that is incredible.

The whole thing comes across as one huge free choice he is never in control of ... "stop where? here, or there?" .... "are you sure? you can change. change?".

Apparently, there are ways to maintain control while still saying things like "whatever you want" all the time.

Oh, and joking around, because clearly such things don't require any focus!
It's only a conflict of interest if either the seller or the buyer expect their agents to negotiate price for them.

Generally agents steer well clean of that, for legal and time reasons.

A realtor is there to put properties in front of you / put your properties in front of others, and then close the deal when you tell them which property you're interested in.

Volume pays realtors, not price-over/under-replacement.
Yeah for sure man. I know a lotta PC guys give consoles shit (rightfully so :D) but I enjoy them too, my PS5 is the slickest thing I've ever used, and the switch is a remarkable little piece of kit, with some stumblings here and there, but yeah, between the severe dip in quality in the XBox One and subsequent iterations, and Microsoft's move to really amp up the experience for PC gaming on the XBox network, I just feel an XBox is a bad proposition these days. It's just a shitty PC that's locked down and you can't fix it.

Show HN: Chaldean News
I must admit I had not heard the term "Chaldean" until yesterday. Apparently it's some very old (COMPLETELY ARBITRARY) system to map letters A-Z to numeric values 1-8. I'm nothing if not skeptical of claims of magic numbers but I just couldn't resist making Chaldean News:

https://andrewarrow.dev/news

Once you take all the letters in the title of a news story and get their sum, for example, "Okta Core Platform Down" is 14 + 17 + 37 + 22 = 90 you can reduce that number further to 1-9 (in this case 9+0 = 9) and can get it's single digit value. Now you can look at all the 9 stories, all the 8 stories, all the 7 stories, etc. And the million dollar question is: is it really completely arbitrary?

Tell me in the comments if after clicking around Chaldean News if you found a few articles that were interesting that you never would have found without looking for these weird patterns. And if anyone can tell me what makes 9 stories so appealing to me, or why a different number resonates with you, I'm all ears.
You just don't sign a contract where you give a buyers agent commission, although again this limits the pool. Frankly, buyers agents are largely a scam in my view. With MLS, Zillow, Redfin, etc, their 'experience' seems mostly worthless. It certainly is not worth 3% of the cost of a house.

If anything, sellers agents are more useful since they actually offer something valuable to the real estate experience (e.g., listing housing, photos, providing buyers access, etc).
