It sounds like you want to expand intellectual property rights to include the details of any action people take that could be observed by a machine so it can learn how to do the same thing. That's an untenable strategy: the ROI of the existing IP regime is already doubtful, and expanding it won't improve it, it'll simply expand all those problems to new areas.

There is a huge spectrum, but back when we homeschooled (my wife wasn't yet comfortable sending the kids back to the classroom in 2021) we did a few events where local homeschool kids got together for various activities. Tree identification/nature trail at the park, visits to historic sites, stuff like that.

Of the parents I met there was some variety, but 9 times out of 10 it seemed like they were mostly doing it because they thought the public schools were too secular and were teaching "sinful" sciences like evolution. They were all polite about it, but it started making me wonder if all of these other aspects of homeschooling were just a fig leaf over a whole lot of religious indoctrination. Maybe those kids are fine, I didn't quiz them, but it did raise an eyebrow.

This exact same thing happened to me in Hertz Las Vegas (except it was just under a $900 bill... I also had insurance though a credit card)

Whatever rock it was, it was large enough to make a loud noise. But I still was surprised at how much of a crack it made. My personal vehicle (BMW) which I've driven over 200x as much has never taken that level of windshield damage on similar roads with occasional rocks.

I looked carefully at the Tesla windshield afterwards and had the OEM mark on it, so it didn't appear to be a case where Hertz had already replaced the windshield with a cheaper aftermarket one (like I'd initially suspected).

There's not much to the article.

> KANSAS CITY, Mo.—A federal jury on Tuesday found the National Association of Realtors and large residential brokerages liable for about $1.8 billion in damages after determining they conspired to keep commissions for home sales artificially high.

> The verdict comes in the first of two major antitrust lawsuits that target decades-old industry practices and seek to drive down commissions and change the way agents are compensated. The two-week trial involved claims by home sellers in several Midwestern states. The jury issued its verdict after just hours of deliberations.

> Under antitrust rules, the presiding judge could triple the damages verdict, which would total more than $5 billion. The plaintiffs also have asked the judge to order changes to how the industry operates.

> For several years NAR has been fending off accusations by U.S. antitrust officials and private litigants that it has conspired to keep home-sale costs high in the face of major technological upheavals. This verdict is by far the group’s biggest setback yet.

> An NAR spokesman said, “This matter is not close to being final as we will appeal the jury’s verdict.”

I would love for there to be some sort of competition injected into real estate commissions. I've bought and sold twice now and you get the same rate from everyone (within 1%) regardless of what they end up doing.

There are very few direct quotes from SBF in the piece. In fact there are very few direct quotes from the prosecutor, the author preferring to summarise them and leaving us to guess as to how close they got.

For example,

I'm not here to guess. Give us a direct quote. (The questions were also not quoted, so they don't provide a direct quote either).
^^^^^^^^^^ This.

We unschooled our kids. Worked beautifully. They're both as much of a success or failure as if they had gone to public school. Had more to do with their idiot gene donor's DNA than their schooling.
I think this is a highly individualized question depending on the circumstances.

I'd qualify as smart depending on the metric. I actually went to a private school (the public schools in the area were complete garbage and out of control - bomb threats, drugs, etc at the middle school level). It really wasn't that challenging and most of my useful knowledge beyond the basic read/write/math is self taught. Most of the stuff I learned in college was never used. Using those innate skills at a young age produced nothing tangible. I won't achieve any real success in life even though I checked all the boxes when I was younger - smart, good grades, extracurriculars, family, religion, went to college, etc.

Really all any good school or parent can do that is helpful is teach their kids to want to learn and how to self-teach. Most schools are terrible at this and just want to hit test scores and follow procedures/regulations (learning environment can be atrocious). I'd say most parents are average at this.

The real question is, what do you think would be different and why can't you achieve that now?
> A price paid, I think, due a conformant, restrictive culture. And after all, even if you do excel, you may soon disappear.

I once spoke to a Chinese person who speculated: "I wish that the Chinese were as conformant and uniform as the Americans - China is too diverse and unruly!"

I think that it's a common human habit to upsell one's own diversity and downplay that of others.

A well-educated population is generally considered to be a good thing. That’s why schooling is compulsory in almost every country in the world.
lmao yes. A who's who of islamophobia, eugenicists, anti-trans panic, and right wing culture war footsoldiers. A handful of those had significant professional accomplishments either before or unrelated to their involvement in these issues but for contemporary social issues? Every person I recognize from your list sucks ass.
You can. It's just a bit of a racket (hence, conspiracy judgment) and nobody will work with you if you only offer a flat rate. Since MLS is mostly limited to Realtors in most markets, you're basically locked out from posting there.

There's ways around it, and flat fee brokers that exist, but you hamper your sales ability. Not an issue when its a sellers market, but can be rough in a buyers market.
The majority of my schooling was at home as well, and while education was mostly ok (with some notable highs and lows) my parents found it difficult to make the scheduling work for socialization (in part due to my semi-rural hometown — any activities meant a considerable drive), and so that was largely absent.

I’ve done alright for myself and have even managed to rank among top achievers in my family, but it’s felt like I’ve been stuck playing catchup in various ways throughout my adult life. Now in my mid-30s, in some aspects I feel that I’m where I should’ve been in my mid-20s.

With that in mind I wouldn’t say I’m against homeschooling necessarily, but I think it’s crucial for parents to consider if they really have the time available to make it as complete as it needs to be. If there’s any doubt at all it might not be a great idea.

Personally speaking: all the art I consume is remixes. Almost all the books I read are fanfics. If the repurposing of cultural content without the consent of the author becomes illegal, my cultural universe will vanish overnight. As such, I think I'm just on the other side of that fight.

If we have to lose privacy and control in order to keep our participatory culture, I'm sorry, I'll take culture. If it's a multidimensional topic, I'm for tightening privacy in private spaces and loosening privacy in public spaces. If there's only one axis, I'll push the lever towards loose.
I think that Julian Assange has done good things but I think that the way he communicates basically gives advocates of censorship and surveillance free talking points.

Most atheists are able to express their disagreement, or even opposition, to religion without expressing hatred against religion. Unfortunately, Richard Dawkins is not that sort of atheist.

I'm thankful for what Edward Snowden did. Unfortunately, even if he didn't have much choice, by fleeing to Russia he made it much easier for people to dismiss criticisms of surveillance as anti-American propaganda.

From what I've heard, John Cleese's criticism of "cancel culture" has been nuanced and reasonable. Unfortunately, a lot of people just lump him in with out of touch comedians whining that they get criticized for telling bigoted jokes. My point being; although I don't think it's fair, his inclusion is unlikely to do the Westminster Declaration any favors in terms of changing people's minds.
Comparing homeschools to the worst public schools is a false comparison in the United States, as school quality equates to wealth, and poor people by and large don’t homeschool.

Most of this stuff is driven by religion and politics.
Unlike the author I am not reporting on a matter of fact. I am giving my opinion in a web forum.
> Sure you can get 30% lower bitrate, but only at degraded quality levels or higher decode complexity.

Thank you for pointing this out. This thread is a mess of claims at the moment because this simple fact is under-recognized.

There are two accepted ways to compare codecs+settings: either (a) you perform a subjective comparison with the human eye using the same bitrate for both codecs, or (b) perform an "objective" metrics-based comparison where you match measured quality and compare the ratio of the bitrates.

If you're looking only at 1080p SDR 8-bit video, even h264 is already commonly used at bitrates that can approach transparency to the source (visually lossless to the human eye) when encoded well. For example, a typical Blu-ray bitrate of ~30 Mbps can achieve transparency when well-encoded for most sources.

The reason measures like "30%" are misleading is that if you try to match h264 performance at these high bitrates, you won't get anything close to 30% improvement (with HEVC over h264, or AV1 over HEVC). It can be negligible in a lot of cases. In other words, the improvement ratio from increasing the complexity of your media codec depends on the target quality of the encodes used in the test.

AV1 achieves significant improvements ("30%") over HEVC only at the lowest qualities, think YouTube or Twitch streaming. At high bitrates, e.g. something acceptable for watching a movie, the improvement can be much less or even insignificant, and at near-transparency a lot of AV1 encoders actually seem to introduce artifacts that are hard to eliminate. AV1 seems heavily optimized for the typical streaming range of bitrates, and claims about its supposed improvement over HEVC need to be understood in that context.

> Maybe this variant increases survival rates with an otherwise zinc deficient diet, by essentially allocating more zinc to basic survival needs and less zinc to fluff like mental wellbeing?

That's interesting idea, it sounds plausible but I'm not an expert in this area. I'd like to add that in the article paper they talk about "hard selective sweeps" for this gene variant, which implies that the variant had especially strong influence on survival. AFAIK these selective sweeps often bring on some secondary traits which are a "side product" (spandrel) of the primary trait.

Not just time, but cost also. As my wife also works from home we've been able to scale back to a single car for 2 years now. Since owning, insuring, fueling, repairing, and maintaining a car typically runs $6k-$10k/year (depending on your tastes and mileage) I've gotten a substantial financial benefit from being remote.
You're assuming that these existing regulations (assuming the ones in public education) produce a net good. Based on what I'm seeing from here that's not so much the case.

The Milky Way is visible most nights (except when cloudy) on St. George Island, Florida, about 60 minutes from Tallahassee or 6.5 hours drive from Atlanta. It's stunning. Most nights I saw meteors as well. However, the northern sky is a little obstructed by trees.

White Sands National Monument in New Mexico has incredible views of the stars.

I saw beautiful stars canoeing on a lake in the Adirondack mountains.

I once saw comet Hyakutake by accident when I was riding in the back of a van on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. I think it was around the Fort Littleton exit.

I suppose it depends on your starting point how expensive it is to see the stars. However, I agree that there is just too much artificial light. I get that we feel much safer and less bored, but there's something lost by not having the easy access to the night sky.
"The dream is to serve my blog from an STM32 board!"

That (uControllers and small systems in general) should be among the best use cases as there is obviously a much higher demand for a low footprint network stack in that field, also with an eye to Single Pair Ethernet, should it become cheaper and widely supported in common uCs in the future.
Yep, wish there was a good up to date list of every link shortener I could block by default but instead it seems like every day some new one pops up. Probably because the last domain they created got blocked on enough sites and its trivial to write one that is unmoderated and abused by CSAM spammers.

Reminds me of the time I asked a bot for its capabilities. It told me it couldn’t tell me them. So, then I asked if it had any rare capabilities. It told me that it didn’t know how common its capabilities were. I then asked it to enumerate its capabilities and I would tell it how rare each thing was. It told me its capabilities and how to use them. In another chat, I used that information to get its actual prompt.

Nothing yet. I'd imagine it will go through appeals for a few years before anything actually happens, and U.S. antitrust enforcement has not exactly been a powerful force for the last few decades.
That is quite a name list. Personally I don't think I would want my name in the same list as Jordan Peterson, Toby Young, Julia Hartley-Brewer, Peter Hitchens or Bret Weinstein.
I would focus on "lisp without the parentheses" languages like F# or OCaml. Even when I write in any other language, I think by composing and chaining operations without considering the runtime machine (the internal hows). Eliminating time from cognitive load is the greatest cheat. Being able to write programs like correct SQL result set first, then refine for performance would be nice. Most processes can be modelled as input, acyclic series of boxes, output. Put persistence at the ends and the language is largely an implementation detail, as is the choice of persistence.
Go back to, say, the 1980s.

Imagine if you submitted a letter to the editor to a newspaper and got back a response saying they were refusing to print it because it violates their rules for appropriate content.

Now imagine you storm into the lobby of the newspapers' office accusing them of censorship and demanding that they print your letter. They'd call the police to please remove the crazy person. Nobody would have argued that you are entitled to having a letter published in someone else's newspaper. That's clearly insane.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean you are entitled to use someone else's property as a platform. The vast majority of the complaints about "free speech" I see today are people who seem to believe this. It's like we've become so accustomed to free (ad supported) social media that we've started to think it's some kind of entitlement.

There are very few things you can say (in the US) that will get you actually censored. I can think of copyright infringement, explicit threats of violence (and the bar there is very high), or child pornography. Other than those you can pretty much say anything you please. I am not aware of any time in the history of civilization when speech has been this free.

Edit: I must point out that my comment is US-centric. There are quite a few places in the world that don't take free speech as seriously. But I don't get the impression that's what this petition is about. It's about "cancel culture" which means "people refusing to let me use their property for free to promote any message I want."
These are great suggestions!! Really appreciate it. Let me open a few PRs and add you to review :D
Isn't the more severe offense, and the one relevant here, more about distributing a recording than making a recording?

Ask Questions to Navigate Codebases
Engineering something as complex as a CPU is a long process regardless of how smart and experienced your engineers are. I mean, you can certainly speed it up with great talent, but there is still long and hard work to do with any difficult engineering challenge.

I’m not saying there’s something special about Apple other than the scale of their investment over a long period of time.

It’s the same deal for Qualcomm and their 5G modems. Apple no doubt has hired many talented engineers to make a custom 5G modem. But Qualcomm’s modem is still the best one around. It’s hard to catch up because Qualcomm has been investing heavily in that space for a very long time.

Again, that’s not to say Apple won’t ever catch up. Just that I wouldn’t expect that their first effort will be better than Qualcomm’s modems.

An acquaintance of mine and his wife just started an alternative, semi-home school (hybrid system). Neither of them have any education experience, just a libertarian/anti-government mindset.

They were able to franchise a school for, I believe $10-15,000 (certainly under $20K), a background check, and a 2 hour open book test for them both.

I struggle to see how this is acceptable for not just "homeschooling" your own kids, but other people's kids.
It's almost anything out of the ordinary by definition, but usually refers to children somewhere on the Autism spectrum. They often struggle with being bullied in public school and depending on where they are on the spectrum can cause considerably increased workload for the school or even have outright behavioral problems complete with physical violence. That's extreme and rare thankfully, but even kids with relatively mild conditions can struggle in a chaotic public school environment.
>what forms of expression should not be protected, notably the right to shout “Fire!” in a crowded theatre

A perennially terrible example to whip out in these discussions, given that it's a quote from potentially one of the most backwards and odious SCOTUS decisions (Schenck v. US) that upheld a conviction against a man protesting the draft. It was later was overturned (Brandenburg v. Ohio).
I'm not sure that motivation follows from the preference. Money is an extremely good proxy for all sorts of desirable job attributes like respect, better working environments, and social status.
Those blobs, if backdoored, could have massive security implications.

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.

This exact problem is why I was forced to admit there is no secure path to use Android today, and a big reason why I gave up on smartphones entirely.
