External pressure can work in the short term, but it disincentivises taking risk (which is where life-long learning happens), it steps on internal motivation (which is where life-long learning happens), and once the external pressure is removed, the interest in learning drops to further below where it was before the pressure was introduced.

So yes, it works in the short term, but I believe it's a net negative overall.

Grades are great, but not for the pressure they apply on students -- they are a measure of how successful the teacher has been in reaching their students!

Wow I havent written a CGI script since before Christmas.

Stuff still works just fine, a nice simple way to expose things to users without them having to ssh into a server.

Not everyone is trying to build the next adladen POS unicorn financed from abusing millions of users for a couple of cents, some are just trying to make peoples lives a little easier and make their jobs a little more efficient, and throwing some Perl, Python, PHP or whatever together often accomplishes that just fine.

Generally, these are things that teachers learn during their training. Everyone has an education and has an opinion of education yet it doesn’t mean understanding how learning happens. In my opinion, good teachers teach the how of learning too.

Worth noting that RCS is a similar shit show. When I opted into this when I had an Android temporarily, it broke (some) SMS for iOS when I moved back. I had to set the android handset up again, log in with my google account and deregister it, then flatten the android handset again.

This was ironic in a way because I was just trying to activate WhatsApp with SMS so I didn't have to use SMS/RCS/iMessage!

I was glad to learn a phrase: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receptive_aphasia , that described my brief experiments with LLMs.

(or language translators: maybe 5 years ago I noticed that translation services, instead of becoming observably poor where they were unsure, as they had been 10 years ago, were providing very fluent "translations" that in some cases asserted the negation of the original text)

> This is why trying to rank/judge/grade everyone by a uniform standard is almost universally terrible.

The point of grades on a universal standard ought not to have anything to do with the students; it should serve as a diagnostic metric for the teacher.

And it can be far more coursely grained than it often is today. In fact, most teachers don't need a finer signal than number of passing and failing students to figure out how well they are doing.

Much like I use the uptime percentage as a signal for which code needs bugfixes and how bold I can be when introducing new features, the teacher can use the fraction passing to determine what needs to be taught differently and how quickly to introduce new material. Of course, schools don't work in a way that makes teacher-led learning possible...
The corollary to learning is teaching, and this isn't addressed substantially in the article. There is a whole industry associated with teaching / training that goes substantially beyond consideration of individual learning styles. E.g. how to structure a course, training objectives and key learning points, how to do assessment of students (during the training itself, or as summary exams / tests), how to give feedback, and many other points. There is also a load of theory around competence retention (how different types of knowledge and skill fall off over time) and the limits of learnability (e.g. the point at which you should stop trying to cram in something that is very forgettable and supplement / replace training with job aides such as checklists).

Awareness of these things can make a big difference between well structured training material and a stream-of-consciousness YouTube 'tutorial'.
Love the intro of the readme.

Also, it may be niche but I had the same thought in the past about this way being the solution for slow switching. Awesome to see someone did all of the work already. Now I just need to find someone selling it on AliExpress so that I won’t even have to lift a finger to have one :D
Fully agree, but I am not sure 200k month is high enough of a cost to start looking outside of Cloud. A Sr Engineer will probably be 300/400k per year and you need a few of those to do your own infra, 2.4m per year is not much of a budget to build a proper team with backups, 24/7 support, and then also paying for servers, networking, etc.. Now, if you can afford downtimes, fixing issues only during working hours, etc., you might have a case.
That seems like a pretty useless study if it's not covering the full effects of learning styles that cater to an individual's preferences.

Yup, it has not been a great year at all. However, the reason I feel optimistic for Matrix is that a) focusing on fixing the fundamentals is demonstrably working (Element X is a genuine pleasure to use) b) we have dedicated fundraising infrastructure for Matrix on the horizon, thanks to Josh joining as MD, c) DMA is a really interesting opportunity.

So I feel bullish, and I don’t see this as a contradiction.
Maybe give out some ways for people to try it, at least if you're trying to promote it. With a single example, how can I be confident that it works as advertised? If you don't want to do entire free videos, consider allowing users trying a 5 minute snippet of a video of their choose so they can see what they can expect.

You could also just make some Hacker News coupons so people here could give a review/feedback if that's what you're looking for.
As a regular Apple defender, I don't think most of us give a shit. I mean everyone I know uses WhatsApp here. I use iMessage within my family group because we all have iPhones but there appears to be absolutely no problem whatsoever with people anywhere. It goes "hey are you on whatsapp" ... and the problem is sorted.

RCS is another one of these shit shows. As I said elsewhere on this thread, I used an Android recently for a couple of months (just so I have a right to bitch about it) and when I switched back it broke SMS for me. I was only using SMS to activate WhatsApp.

Probably because he likes it.
The Veritasium video is kind of weird. The example is good and interesting and when I watched I thought he would then introduce the concept of transmission lines (as taught in EE classes). It would make things clearer and gives an explanation and also maybe some intuition to problems like that. Instead he starts talking about the poynting vector, which makes things even more abstract and weird (and also he is slightly misleading about the poynting vector, especially for the DC case). It seems like he is trying to make things weird for the sake of weirdness and not trying to explain anything.

Seems a very flawed position given the well documented wealth and power of the British Empire upon which once the sun never set.

Like the USofA and every other country peak positions never last, but we don't therefore claim that they never existed, and the wealth is never evenly distributed, what varies are parameters of the curve of wealth distribtion.
I dunno, your typical corporate employee is just copying the affectations of the upper class from thirty years ago, which was playacting you’re an incorporeal, sexless vessel for shareholder value while seeing a therapist.

I have seen a few comments expressing a desire for a statically typed scripting language. I’ve been using a new workflow for a couple of years I’d like to share.

Install .NET 8, and create a new C# Console application. From .NET 6 onwards, it uses the new “top level statements” style which is effectively like the blank slate of a script file. The barrier to entry has never been lower.

Nearly all countries I know about have some system where only the best

The criteria can be different but usually some permutation of the
grade point average from high school.
Competition to make it into the program if fierce.

A couple of countries I know about¹ start off with a much larger set of
students expecting a large. number will drop out early.
You still need high points from high school, but it might be a better
solution than just the top of the top grades.

has HN ever claimed to be a place for "free" discussion? I feel the sentiment of "free speech forums" was cracking at the seams some 18-20 years ago, and compeltely fell apart around 9-10 years ago.

If you want unfiltered opinions, you go to a place with minimal moderation. HN was never that.

BotW targets 30 FPS in both docked and handheld mode and regularly drops frames in both - perhaps it’s just more noticeable on the big screen. There’s also no support on either the internal panel or HDMI-out for VRR (not that it would be helpful at sub-30 FPS anyway).
I'm not evaluating what's being proposed here. In this thread anyway, I'm responding to this comment, which I regard as untrue:

> They could write some pretty rough queries that could make guaranteeing QoS difficult or impossible.

However, were I to evaluate what's being proposed I would say it's predicated on a matter of judgement rather than a matter of fact: you may not feel you need "all the power of SQL", you may feel that the proposal is "orders of magnitude simpler", and you may feel that things like "row level security are tricky to get right", and that's fine, but others are not obliged to share your feelings. I'm sorry, but I don't. I just don't believe that using the security engineering affordances offered by modern databases is difficult to do, no matter how many times you tell me I should believe that.
It’s the only recent comment of mine that went fairly negative, and free internet advocates are pretty militant. It’s not rocket science to make the inference.
For me it's when it's useful for writing adhoc utility tools distributed as source, and directly runnable from source code in the terminal and without requiring a manual compilation step (but maybe requiring installing a runtime).

E.g. Python, JS/TS with node.js/deno, Lua, Bash, Powershell qualify as scripting language, but C, C++, Rust are not.

Of course there's a grey area of compilers which allow compiling and running a "script" via shebang.

> , baseload needs are much, much lower so than they used to be.

No, they aren't. You said, and I quote, "base load is nowhere near as important anymore so as it was decades ago".

Decades ago we didn't have everything requiring electricity 24/7. These days even your stove continuously drives power from the grid. And where "decades ago" your production stopped or slowed down because workers would go home, now you have 24/7 automated production and logistics chains.

Moreover, a lot of industries have shifted to production at night precisely because of the "civilian" electricity requirements during the day.

And energy consumption has only been growing https://www.iea.org/reports/electricity-information-overview...

> Now imagine what can be done with modern production technology.

I don't deal in fantasies.

> So no, baseload needs are not as important as they used to be.

Again, this is patently and provably false.

> Something people fail to accept, it seems...

Some people pretend that their fantasies are fact and that their baseless statements have to be taken at face value.
In response to all the controversy he made a follow up video [0]. In the video he recreated the experiment, explaining the effect in a more technically correct manner and also apologised for not doing so on the original.

He also made it clear that the light globe in the original video did not receive enough current to light up.. it was hooked up to an alternative power source and an oscilloscope and upon receiving any signal above baseline would switch on the globe.

You are asking the wrong question. When it comes to medication: is there a specific problem you want fixed with a target objective?

You can try medication but without asking the right questions I suspect you will be disappointed. If you try it monitor for how you feel and what others observe as differences.
Older, longer and more sustainable societies and cultures found places for some of the people we'd call schizophrenic today. I do think it's tragic that we've lost those roles and ideas surrounding those roles in modernity.

However, I've seen with my own two eyes schizophrenia destroy the lives of several people I know. These people are suffering, and not just because of how society treats the neurodivergent. They are trapped in hellish prisons of their own minds, reliving and reinventing traumas no one should have to experience. It's as if their own minds have turned on themselves just to torment them in uniquely personal and unseen hells.

It's utterly tragic, and largely preventable with treatment.

That said, even in the past, where there were roles for those who experienced schizophrenic symptoms, those with extreme symptoms also suffered from expulsion, disownment, imprisonment and death. It's a mistake to romanticize something that torments so many.

I'd propose participation for X days and a very loose karma metric (e.g. non-negative karma to block out consistent hecklers) as a compromise. You don't want someone who posted once and disappears for months to be given elevated permissions, because the idea of the karma gate is to adjust to how the community works before getting more features.

semi-artbituarily, I'd say 2-3 months worth of distinct days making a comment or post should be enough time.

Yes, but "statically typed scripting language" is a quite unusual combination of words [1], and there seemed nothing to back up the "scripting" concept, so I thought it might be something more akin to Nim or Zig (i.e. "scripty system programming"), and it wasn't. That was a missing line of thought that I should have explicitly stated, sorry for the confusion.

[1] Especially when no type inference was mentioned.
I don't think that's necessarily the right way to look at iMessage adoption, for some countries is was more about the cost and prevalence of SMS. In the US SMS was pushed rather heavily, but not that cheap, in other countries SMS was pretty expensive, and not really pushed that hard, so there was ample space for e.g. WhatsApp. Then there are countries like Denmark, where SMS was already either literally free or as good as free, before the iPhone and iMessage was ever a thing. In that case people already used SMS heavily and had no financial incentive to switch to anything else, so when iMessage rolls in people just adopt it because it's the default SMS app.

More than anything I believe it's more related to social circles than specific countries. I use Signal, but in frequent, because that's what colleague around the world use, and I have two friend on Signal, but that's it. It's not something I consider standard. I know people who use WhatsApp pretty extensively, but again only within a limited social circle. A lot of people use Facebook Messenger, but I've never seen anyone expect that I have it installed.
SMS is still the default, and sometimes it just happens to be delivered via iMessage.

"Learning" is also a noun [1] - which can be plural, so I'd say the creator of those comments has some learnings to make.

I literally have mentioned that you can have black and low contrast by adjusting the foreground colors.

It’s subjective indeed, and it requires an investment, purposefully putting up with it for a while, to be able to harvest the benefits. But everyone I personally know who did that, doesn’t want to go back to rich contrast.
I've run a few businesses over the years and the return of investment of self sufficiency is barely worth it in the long run. It's very difficult to replicate the benefits of working for an SME (forget big tech) which it comes to security. You never have to worry about MRR because it's static and only increases.

Also some advice on hyper-optimising for cheap hardware. Don't. Buy something with a warranty from a respectable company. Or buy two of everything else. Downtime will cost you customers.

With comparison to say Kubecost , the product will have - - Muticluster visibility in the single dashboard (for Kubecost , muticluster is enterprise ). - The application would also contain apart from monitoring Autoscaling and bin packing ( based on VPA recommendation for each application and providing a window to automatically adjust it). - Smart cost optimization : Tools like Karpenter(AWS) would be used to quickly get the alternatives to On-Demand instances and providing spot instances for them. - Better UX - The UX would be our top priority with 5 min, setup , maybe with a helm package. - Automated rightsizing : Based on the VPA recommendation .
These are the basic points i could ponder on for the application. 1. The monitoring part would be open-source and free for multi clusters. 2. Report generation and alert management to (Slack,email etc) open-source. 2. The autoscaling part/Bin packaging/Node autoscaling/Spot instances would be enterprise features.
Would love to know your insights and feedback . Thanks for going through the context
