I was involved in math education for a few years. Asking "why" questions to students can often lead you nowhere. There's a tendency to believe that mathematical reasoning is obvious and that successful math education just requires a paradigm shift or "correct pedagogy." Maybe? I think it's more complicated than that. I don't think most students would be successful in an environment which turns math into an investigation, even though as adults we see that as being incredibly fruitful.

I think if you dump thousands of dollars into any program, you'll see some improvement in your kid's education. Money buys expertise, support, attention, and cohesiveness.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention: I interviewed at a Russian School of Math while I was finishing my degree. The guy gave me a math test at a coffee shop. It's funny because they clearly have their own way of teaching the "how." I remember solving some of their basic problems and being told "we teach it like this instead."
Type 2 here. The article text sounds strange to me, maybe because I live elsewhere than the US/UK. From Day 1 of my diagnosis (in 2009) I was prescribed a low-carb diet alongside with medication and, eventually, insulin. I was never told I could just manage my blood sugar with insulin and medication without a low-carb diet. So this guy comes across to me as preaching to the choir.
I think we put too much weight on intelligence as the factor differentiating innovators from the rest. If we were to clone some great scientists from the past I believe would be underwhelmed.

Not because these aren’t brilliant people but because brilliance isn’t the most important factor in innovation. Rather, innovation is driven by people who are exposed to a novel environment and are just smart enough to not ignore it.

Bill Gates’ highschool was the only one in the US with a computer. Albert Einstein was working in a patent office where he saw a conga-line of patents discussing how to standardize the measurement of time across vast geographies.

Both brilliant people. Both exposed to a novel societal idea. Thankfully they were smart enough to run with it.

> People used to kill their own animals and weren't vegetarians.

That's not "gore".

Animal gore is not subsistence living. It's, with apologies for the graphicness, videos of people catching cats in cages and dousing them in gasoline in the cage and ...
At least higher-end LLMs are perfectly capable of making quite substantive logical inferences from data. I'd argue that an LLM is likely to be better than many other methods if the dataset is small, while other methods will be better once you're dealing with data that pushes the context window.

E.g. I just tested w/ChatGPT, gave it a selection of instructions about playing music, the time and location, and a series of hypothetical responses, and then asked it to deduce what went right and wrong about the response, and it correctly deduced what the user intent I implied was a user that given the time (10pm) and place (the bedroom) and rejection of loud music possibly just preferred calmer music, but who at least wanted something calmer for bedtime.

I also asked it to propose a set of constrained rules, and it proposed rules that'd certainly make me a lot happier by e.g. starting with calmer music if asked an unconstrained "play music" in the evening, and transition artists or genres more aggressively the more the user skips to try to find something the user will stick with.

In other words, you absolutely can get an LLM to look at even very constrained history and get it to apply logic to try to deduce a better set of rules, and you can get it to produce rules in a constrained grammar to inject into the decision making process without having to run everything past the LLM.

While given enough data you can train a model to try to produce the same result, one possible advantage of the above is that it's far easier to introspect. E.g. my ChatGPT session had it suggest a "IF <user requests to play music> AND <it is late evening> THEN <start with a calming genre>" rule. If it got it wrong (maybe I just disliked the specific artists I used in my example, or loved what I asked for instead), then correcting its mistake is far easier if it produces a set of readable rules, and if it's told to e.g. produce something that stays consistent with user-provided rules.

(the scenario I gave it, btw. is based on my very real annoyance with current music recommendation that all to often does fail to take into account things like avoiding abrupt transitions, paying attention to the time of day and volume settings, and changing tack or e.g. asking questions if the user skips multiple tracks in quick succession)
Ok, how do we know that your temporary horror would result in alcoholism or mental illness if the exposure were continued?

How do we know that most people would respond that way?

It seems like a major unexamined assumption to me. I don’t know why everyone just takes this as truth on faith.
Governance on ethereum is the same as bitcoin, regardless of what bitcoin maxis want you to believe
On the one hand, I think everyone should try to put together a simple website with a few pages in raw HTML, just to get an idea of how it works. And actual, semantic HTML is not terrible in this day and age, much better than it used to be. You don't have to learn a static generator to put up a website, because you're the static generator.

On the other hand, I've written a lot of HTML since the 90s. And there's a dirty secret behind why so many static generators exist--the effort of slapping together something that builds a site how you want it is similar to learning an existing system. Often, that's a short build script rather than some expansive framework.
The class I took was for recreational/non-commercial sailing so some of the GMDSS requirements do not apply to those vessels.

I’ve done re-certification every 5 years or so. At every class a SAR person has told us to not expect them to make contact over a sat phone. Now who they will contact first are your EPIRB contacts and ask for your float plan, vessel description, etc.

Maybe it is because they don’t want people to have just a sat phone or InReach and believe they’re good to go.

People seem to regularly be unable to tell SAR where they are even if they have a GPS onboard. I’ve witnessed this just listening to VHF request for assistance in inland waters many times in the Pacific Northwest.
You’re saying the mindset one would have going into it is one of “I’m not personally hateful, xenophobic, or racist, but I can see how those are all logical and productive things to be”?

I don’t believe that mindset exists.
"Holocaust Deniers" is often used to preclude education about the Holocaust: It wasn't just Jews, but that's not compatible with Today's Narrative. The open minded approach the rest of the article advocates implies "within our tent."

The walls of the Big Tent, once erected, shrink rapidly. People inside often fail to notice when they do.
How do you know it is a video if you did not click and why it is click bait? I mean, is it not true what is being told in the video? This is a sincere question, I am a total ignorant in construction and planning.
Would be interesting to hear a convincing argument against that.
Is 5k an appropriate amount for such a finding? Sounds incredibly cheap for such a large organization. How much would something like this be worth on the black market?
That logic is a hot mess. Why do you assume an implicit link between “different groups/identities” and “ideas?” It’s easy to accept your premise that everyone can contribute and that no group/identity is the “best.” But that just gets you to color-blind non-discrimination.

Your second point undoes your first point. “Ideas” can certainly be compared and ranked; there are good ideas and bad ones, ideas that have worked in practice and ideas that don’t work in practice. Defining people by “ideas” widely held by their group is a recipe for discrimination.
I've personally seen someone go from racist, xenophobic and hateful to not in the space of a single trip.
very interesting

i wonder about the over-dependence on third party packages and modules

Personally I find "bus factor" to be one of the less egregious pieces of corporate jargon. It's a problem that mainly hurts the rank and file and is utterly irrelevant/invisible to management until it becomes very visible and we inevitably take the blame and eat the consequences. Learning to speak their language to communicate a very real problem is a key deliverable.

I do feel a bit ashamed of unironically using "sunset", although in my case it was more in the sense of "ride off into the ~". It was my last corp job (hopefully) ever.
That's not very helpful for people not from Iceland as far as indicating distance. An hour drive doing 60mph is totally different from windy roads along a coast line or through valleys.

Google Maps isn't too useful: "Sorry, we could not calculate driving directions from "Reykjavík, Iceland" to "Grindavik, Iceland"
I don’t think it was clickbait. But it is a video.

The channel itself is generally reputable and doesn’t produce low-effort content.
zlib offers multiple compression levels, and of course there are other deflate implementations as well. The Zip file might have been created with a different deflate implementation, or with different compression settings. Some PNG optimizers really take it to the extremes and brute-force the most optimal (or at least close to optiomal) deflate encoding, which is not something normal Zip tools usually do.

PNG filters might also play a role in here, because the difference to the previous pixel row may be easier to encode than the ASCII text on its own (there are fewer and smaller delta values to encode).
I'm about to buy a house and I find it insane that I cannot prevent the County Deed Recorder from selling my data to services like Spokeo.

I could set up an LLC and buy the house in that name but that requires cash, and I don't have that much cash.

I could buy an aged LLC, move in cash and then get mortgage as the LLC but that is really extreme (and not sure if that's legal?).

To add to that, services like PermissionSlip assume that you have 1 email address / finite set of email addresses where they send out requests to get your data deleted.

That doesn't work for people who use <company-name>@<my-domain>.<tld>.
Ah. I think two leading spaces fix this? I'll try:

#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
#! nix-shell -i python3 -p python3Packages.pillow python3Packages.ansicolor

# scale image by 50%
import sys, PIL.Image, ansicolor
path = sys.argv[1]
image = PIL.Image.open(path)
factor = 0.5
image = image.resize((round(image.width \* factor), round(image.height \* factor)))
path = path + ".s50.jpg"
image.save(path)
print(ansicolor.green(f"done {path}"))
As best I can tell there's no licensing information in the repo
Not entirely, they can't check every single thing, and because they inventory mix, if I have a legit product and you have a fake, once it's all tagged as the same, they'll send whichever one the system picks regardless of who's 'store' I buy from.

Additionally, because of inventory mixing, they don't really know who put the fraud in and who didn't (maybe they do, but they don't seem to do anything about it)

Additionally, some of the stuff on the site is not stored or shipped by them at all, you buy from the store site and it gets shipped from the vendor.

So no, they really haven't made a system that they can use to validate their items sold at scale.
I ran the 13GB https://simonwillison.net/2023/Nov/29/llamafile/ on an M3 without issues. 40 tokens per second output.
The downside to ZMK is no copyleft protection. So when you buy a keyboard that advertises "ZMK", you're getting a binary blob you can't customize or audit.

OTOH, QMK has successfully forced-open proprietary keyboards that were sold with QMK forks and then repeatedly, emmphatically refused to release the source. This includes the awesome non-Bluetooth 1000hz-rate Nordic Semiconductor wireless feature of the NuPhy Air keyboards!

Copyleft works. In spite of all its haters.
> You really think banks will be lending to PE deals if the business model is to make the company bankrupt?

Yes, just like banks sold houses to unqualified buyers and packaged them up as overinflated securities to dump on the public. The people authorizing the deals get bonuses now and leave other suckers holding the bag later.
> HelloFresh made an honest mistake. It's the sort of mistake that anyone could have made.

They did not, as explained by countless posters below you. What they did was skimped regulation.

> You can't make people infallible through fear.

Corporations are not people. Their only incentive mechanism is that of profit extraction. If you make the cost of noncompliance infinitely high, there's infintely high incentive not to be incompliant. Humanizing a form of establishing an economic enterprise with littering examples as if that's valid is one funny joke you did there.
I believe Belgian schools still serve low-alcohol beer in the canteens.
Ginger is often suggested as well, which is another 5ht3 antagonist.
I wonder if it's linked to susceptibility to motion sickness, which is known to be genetic, as neither psychedelics nor motion give me nausea at all.

Maintenance of bearings was a thing from the mid century up until the 80s when automakers starting putting out parts that had a service lifetime that exceeded the service lifetime of the vehicle. When is the last time you had your ICE vehicle in to get bearings repacked or replaced? Outside of actual damage (collision, premature part failure), these parts are typically replaced as a maintenance only in performance or enthusiasts vehicles now.

Also, many bearings in an ICE vehicle use special high-pressure, long-life, “tacky” lubricants that stick and do not usually mix with engine oil or transmission fluid. The bearings on the wheel hub most definitely do not but that’s also a part that both EVs and ICE vehicles have in common (which is also the easiest bearing to replace).
Everything we make is accessible via APIs and integrating our Assist via APIs is already possible. Here is an example of an app someone made that runs on Windows, Mac and Linux: https://github.com/timmo001/home-assistant-assist-desktop
Dam reservoirs can reach a pretty massive volume. The Hoover dam holds 35.000 km^2 of water (that's 35 billion tons if I'm not mistaken) according to Wikipedia. I'm not sure how much of that can be raised by how much.
> Bitcoin is a productive asset.

Only if you're given permission. It's not natively productive like Ethereum.
It only requires vs build tools which is likely for the linker. Other languages like rust does the same.

Truck or cars are not strictly required to operate in all conditions in the current system: roads, entire freeways close when the conditions demand. Or demand that vehicles stop and put on chains. There is precedent.
A couple does mean 2, not "a few". It's just that people are often very inexact about times and numbers. So yeah it's silly to argue that "a couple of years ago" is wrong because it was actually 4 because the context clearly implied a degree of approximateness.
> have few easily digestible carbs (i.e. such as the whites, flour, sugar, potatoes and rice)

Should potatoes be in this list? I understood the potato diet to be very effective at causing weight loss (thought to be due to high potassium content of potatoes)? Can something consistently cause weight loss and cause a major insulin response (which I think causes calories to be stored as fat…)?
I would be glad to help you set up GitHub Actions to build branches if that interests you. On the one hand, I'm for sure not a GHA (nor rust nor bun) ninja, but OTOH I do have a passion for painless builds :-)
>I don't feel like all tech is "evil" these days, but I do feel that the world would be better off if all the big tech companies (Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft) just completely stopped building any new tech. Obviously that's not realistic, but it highlights my feeling that I'm not looking forward to any new tech from these companies, because more tech is going to invariably lead to more isolation, more "doom scrolling", more assaults on our attention. I feel like most big tech companies have just become the equivalent of drug dealers, just trying to hijack our brain's evolutionary attention mechanisms to addict us. "Attention is all you need" is right...

"Attention is all you need" among above paragraph really hits hard and it's true. I think I feel the same way like all big tech companies should just be stopped from bringing new tech. Indeed, I have just started hating tech now a days. We are just getting more apart and away from everyone day by day with new emerging technology.

It is really pathetic to know that tech is influencing new generation totally in negative direction to what we supposed where they should be leading to. I think even the Parents now a days should parent their child more like it used to in olden days rather than showing them children's rhyme on phone or tablet.

I have stopped surfing social media, they try to isolate me from the truth and what's actually happening and rather feed content which is biased according to my activities and what I like. This really frightens me.
I never got why big forums/engines back then weren't converging more to reddit structure, like the ability to subscribe to specific threads and have a custom starting screen.
I know that it is zeitgeist exploiting to say this, but seeing Boeing listed and not Airbus really says something to me.

Lockheed being listed makes me wonder if the FBI/CIA really will (further) step up on cybercrime, because you now have potential national security implications in a core supplier to multiple military branches.
Sometimes, following a security vulnerability, users end up in intense discussions with the maintainers of Docker images.
It's challenging to navigate such situations effectively. The apparent simplicity of Docker images can be deceptive and pose risks. It's important to exercise caution to avoid potential problems.

See:

There are some places that do not allow USB connections. People have been fired over it.
To downvoters: please don't shoot the messenger. I'm not happy about the existence of Cloudflare (or their competitors who do the same thing) either.

That said, the choice is yours whether or not to use sites that utilize such untrustworthy MITM providers, like Cloudflare. There are even browser plugins that can automatically block connections to such untrustworthy entities.

This isn't an endorsement, and you should always review the source code of any browser extensions you're utilizing due to the risks extensions themselves can pose, but I personally use one called Cloud Firewall and it works great. (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cloud-firewal...)
I assumed they weren't in the US, which could make more sense based on where they *do* live.

Where I live in the US having a garage is a luxury. However as you point out having a garage is much more "normal" in the US.
Now imagine all those cyclists and pedestrians would also drive a car, would also be on the road at the same time. You think driving would be less stressfull then?
When I heard about D it was often in combination with issues that seemed rather basic. Like multiple mutually exclusive runtime libraries that made D libraries incompatible with each other from the start, or hard version breaks that where trying to solve fundamental issues but also caused projects to lag behind for years. Have you seen how long the Python 2 to 3 migration took? The news cycles didn't do anything to fix that mess either.
I thought so. My intention was more to subtly correct parent rather than to ask a genuine question. ...although I've learnt a bit more from your reply. Thanks!

MacOS seems to still have something called Console which functions somewhat similarly to what you describe (the panel of lights and toggle-switches, rather than a two-way communication device).
I think we actually did learn things that we didn't know the first time around. We know that it's dangerous when influential researchers go around promoting psychedelics as a panacea like Timothy Leary did. The current wave of researchers seem to be much more responsible in emphasizing an evidence-based approach, the importance of screening for risk factors, and limiting the use of psychedelics to a controlled therapeutic setting.
Yet they approved futures
In my personal lived experience, yes. Kids learn complex subjects/topics without you even knowing it until they open their mouths. She will surprise you!

Try books instead? Even if they're overly complex, if they have compelling imagery, it could be worth it. Books will allow her to flip through the pages back and forth plus provide her with some physical connection versus passive listening.

I had a scientific text with imagery of an Escherichia virus T4 (it looks like a machine and alive! What kid wouldn't like that?) and I recall how cool that was, though I couldn't understand any of the surrounding text. But these books allowed me to find interest in the imagery which led to interest in the subjects with age-appropriate books and other media.
When I drove from Houston to San Diego, most of our stops were in the 20 minute range. That said, I have one of faster charging EVs, and we don't have kids.
I've seen it said that it takes 10 halflives for something to decay all the way away.

So like 1000 years for this to flush itself.
The issue with eugenics isn't the fundamental science, it's that the "elites" in charge of it are simply loaded with cognitive biases to support their (often inherited, arbitrary, or fortunate) positions.

Almost all solutions to actually solving environmentalism and sustainability at a long term global level involve lots of complicated policies which seemingly can only be accomplished with a higher degrees of altruism, better intelligence of multiple flavors, etc.

https://youtu.be/pRIIwJh1DDQ?t=165

We kind of NEED a general increase to intellect and ability. Also would save on rising health care costs.

Ironically, we'd need some sort of eugenics for the ruling elite to truly raise them to a point that they could then responsibly apply eugenics to the rest of the population.

The "elite" will probably start doing this in the next 50 years. Honestly I'm shocked it hasn't started in my lifetime (I'm ~50 years old)
Haha thanks; the html is on Github https://github.com/moomou/moomou.github.io/blob/master/resum... and from there you can see the imported css etc.; be warned though, the resume & css have been accumulated over the years so they are not particularly clean
