Presumably, the school was built / staffed for a certain regular enrollment that reflected some percentage of the people in state.

For California specifically:

https://data.census.gov/profile/California?g=040XX00US06

You can see the peak of 25-30 somethings, and then it drops off.

When you start looking out at the 15-19s there are 400,000 fewer than the 25-29s (roughly 3M -> 2.6M). That then means that enrollment is going to drop and things will need to be cut.

The school that I went to for grade school was built for baby boomers. It was large, and the next town over likewise had a large school. When I went it was a bit empty, not too bad though. It picked up again with the echo.

The towns have recently closed half of each school and combined classes because there isn't enough students to keep two sets of classes running at reasonable funding levels (having a class of five 3rd graders and six 4th graders is great for student to teacher ratios ... not so much the budget of a small rural school).
It was never free as it's 99€ per year anyway.
Genuinely curious: people throw around the term „malicious compliance“ a lot. It seems the platform fee is explicitly allowed by the DMA, so Apple demands it. Again, I am not trying to troll but what would „benevolent compliance“ look like and what would Apple‘s incentive be to give up the fee?

I love this! I was hit with a wave of nostalgia. I used to spend hours and hours making flash animations. This tool is super intuitive :D I haven't touched an animation tool since I was like 11 years old, and it just works.
If you learn any language as an adult, chances are you're never going to become as fluent as a native speaker, no matter how long you live in a second language environment. I say that as someone who has done it myself, and seen a lot of friends and family going through the same process.

Children are a different story. They can learn a language and start speaking just like native speakers, local accent and all, within months. It's absolutely amazing to see. My niece went to Australia when she was 5. She could speak Portuguese, our native language, as a native, obviously, and was very afraid to learn English. A few months later she was fluent in English and had the local accent from basically day 1 :D. I never absorbed the accent myself (moved to Australia as a 23 yo, over 20 years ago). She is 11 now and she now mostly speaks English, and it takes effort for her to answer to us in Portuguese when we try to get her to do so.
Her dad, my brother, studied for years (even before moving) to try to speak somewhat fluent and correct English... but even now, more than 5 years later, he struggles. His wife barely speaks anything.

When I was new in the country, I could see that the younger the person, the faster and the easier it was to learn. No child I've seen ever had any difficulty learning a new language from scratch... they really are amazing at it!

I have been learning Swedish as I've moved to Sweden years ago, and I am in the same position as my brother is in Australia: I can only speak basic Swedish and I make mistakes and have to think a lot to say things coherently, specially without having to translate from English first - I've spoken English so long that it's my main language now... but I still understand Portuguese with less effort than English (and after just a few weeks speaking mostly Portuguese, as I do on some of my vacations, I become much better at speaking it again and words stop coming in English first, but that depends on the topic as well - if it's a topic I only ever speak about in English, like work, I find it horrible to speak about that in Portuguese!).

To think some people are able to learn 50 language (as mentioned in the post) blows my mind. I don't think I will ever speak my third language properly, let alone learn another dozen languages in the future :D

But this is another observation I've made over the years: a minority of people are very talented at languages and can indeed learn much more easily than others... though as far as I know, only children can learn within months and with perfect pronunciation.

That's a MUCH better link. The data in it makes clear what we are seeing is a flight to quality.

The top ranked, best known Cal State schools saw enrollment grow. The lesser known and lower ranked Cal State schools saw enrollment fall. There are more lesser known Cal State schools than top ranked Cal State schools, so on average the system saw a decline.

The California Community College system (lower ranked than Cal State) saw enrollment fall more than the lower ranked Cal State Schools, and the University of California system (higher ranked than Cal State) saw enrollment grow more than the upper ranked Cal State schools.
From the article:

>”These observations are then fed into numerical prediction models to forecast the weather.”

In other words, the forecasts come from models, not necessarily real-time station readings. Those readings are inputs into the model, and the models may not get updated fast enough to reflect current conditions.
A theory I've been entertaining lately is that the raw engineering of the weather forecasts has indeed gotten better, but it has been offset by the clickbait-driven need for weather forecasts to declare everything to be the Worst Thing Ever, Click Here To Not Die. Snow storms that would have in my youth been a medium experience hardly worthy of note get their own names and days of breathless pre-coverage from the weather channels nowadays.

The net is the improved raw accuracy of the weather forecast is offset by the difficulty of reversing the clickbait layer slathered on top.
Getting closer to the dream lil friend companion. Take away the ability to talk and add more tamagotchi cute little monster options with custom colors etc and you have a hit.

Seems so obvious to me that i imagining starting on this myself, today, would be much too late and someone would already provide a tamagotchi equivalent before im even a quarter of the way done. But then again i still havent seen it. Anyone come across anything like a passive tamagotchi project for AVP?

Regular banking has piles and piles of AML/KYC regulation that they need to follow in order to not become guilty of money laundering, or aiding money laundering.

Are you saying Bitcoin Fog followed all this regulation, or are you saying Bitcoin Fog can unilaterally can declare itself exempt from AML/KYC laws?

Agreed. Looking at the output HTML, it all tables and tables in tables. I find tables notoriously difficult to style in ways that are not straight tabular data. Grid or Flex would go a long way to fix some of the issues

TIL about 'Repair Text Encoding'! Thank you!
The key phrase is "over the last 200 years". 200 years ago there was just 1 billion people. People had decade(s) to reskill to new profession. Their offspring picked different profession if their parents didn't have good prospect. Changing profession was also not requiring half a decade learning.

Now imagine that AI will make 20% people redundant over next 5 years - thats ~1.6 billion people.
I had a Chrysler Pacifica go into limp mode several times due to issues in a CAN bus connector sending bad ECM data. It was very intermittent so service couldn't do anything. Eventually someone in an owner's forum figured it out so I was able to swap out the $5 connector.

>I may speak from a perspective of ignorance here but I believe 6000$ a year is still prohibitively expensive for a lot of people, especially if they don't want to accrue debt.

Reality is almost no one pays that. Out of state and international students are just about the only folks paying tuition at CSU. Nearly everyone else is covered by the various state/federal grants, and community colleges are essentially free.

The whistleblower was found dead in their car of an 'apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound'.

Seems extremely unlikely that they would decide to kill themselves after 32 years at Boeing and deciding to blow the whistle.

With our approach in Colbert, you can provide your table that holds a formula field with a corresponding tag field and apply formulas to your data using a WHERE clause on the tag field.
This allows you to safely test different scenarios.

Furthermore, in Colbert, you have the capability to inquire about the parameters used in each formula. For example, you can test the appearance of a specific parameter by querying:

Oh wow, this is quite practical! Thanks for sharing! In the past, I've typically relied on a great deal of google-fu and considerable time investment (~10 minutes! *gasp*) whenever I couldn't find a show on one of the big streaming services, and it seems like the backend sources made available by the movie-web extension are a superset of those used by the various shady and ephemeral middleman-of-the-month streaming websites I would typically land on.

It's also quite nice how they've neatly open-sourced and atomized all the little tools that go into making the service work such that one could, in theory, build other services on top of these tools. The quality of the documentation is outstanding, too.
This is exactly right and is one (among many) reasons that reliance on cosine similarities in my field (computational social science) is so problematic. The curvature of the manifold must be accounted for in measuring distances. Other measures based on optimal transport are more theoretically sound, but are computationally expensive.

> Are we about to enter a software engineering winter? People will find new careers, no kids will learn to code since AI can do it all.

It's important to remember that the reason AI can do it at all is that millions of software engineers wrote decent/good code and made it available on the internet. The reason it's going to be a winter is that going forward, there's going to be a huge reluctance to share code by people.

And that AI will never write code better than humans. It will write it 90% as well, still requiring a human to fix the last 10%.

It will further create a bimodal distribution of wages in the software industry. Those who know how to clean up the last 10%, and those who don't (AI prompt monkeys). The rift between these 2 categories will keep widening.

Hm, that's fine, but it's taking the conversation in a different direction.

Social constructions are also a form of technology and politics is also a technical challenge. I don't think generation ships are impossible on social grounds.
The POSIX shell (and its precursors and derivatives) are not LR-parsed languages, and they suffer from ambiguities and inconsistencies. The extent of the distrust is clear in the video and slides below.

Yes, it is wrong. Mostly. Or just some minor reason.

It was largely a fallacy perpetuated by Apple. The same fallacy used to more recently justify the app store exclusivity, aimed at preserving their enclosed ecosystem under the guise of protecting users from potential malware threats.

While it's true that Flash posed security risks, not just on mobile but across platforms. Acrobat pdf readers continue to grapple with high-severity CVEs.

Another argument against Flash support on the iPhone was its purported battery drain. It's worth considering the technological landscape of that era: Arm processors were less power-efficient, and early iPhones struggled with battery longevity. Remember, even basic color screen phones could last several days on a single charge—illustrated by the enduring appeal of the Nokia 3210, which could comfortably endure a week without needing to be plugged in.

Yes flash early implementation for mobile was very inefficient.

Yes Apple had valid reasons for resisting Flash support. However, at the heart of the matter was Adobe's lion stance on royalties, a proposition deemed cocky by Jobs. Plus jobs was in the money Business. So the moot negociation red eventually led to a declaration war on Adobe.

Despite Adobe's towering market cap, and arguable more influential in the tech spheres, they underestimated Apple's strategic timing and their ability to a big push for new web standards, which ultimately led to the widespread adoption of HTML. Adobe's defeat to maintain their spotlight animation authoring tool for the web. Cousin comment touches on its disrespect for existing web standards, it never evolved to embrace the browser, it kept running as its own thing with limited to no interfacing with the browser API even.

This conflict not only signed the future death certificates of Flash but also spelled the end for other authoring tools which came from the Macromedia umbrella, and those had already begun to lose relevance post-Adobe acquisition.

Adobe's numerous acquisitions, it's easier to enumerate the surviving applications since the launch of the iPhone than to list those consigned to oblivion.

Not exhaustive, but here is the gist:
Adobe applications that have ceased to exist since 2006:

Adobe mainstream products that have ceased to exist since 2006:
- Flash
- Fireworks
- Dreamweaver (on life support)
- GoLive
- Muse
- Encore
- Contribute
- SpeedGrade
- Story
- Edge Animate
- Edge Reflow

Adobe mainstream products that remain plus those created or aquired since 2006:
- Photoshop
- Illustrator
- InDesign
- Premiere Pro
- After Effects
- Acrobat
- XD
- Audition
- Figma

microbursts are a thing. It's entirely possible much of your city was dry despite the cloud cover. Also possible they just done goofed.
It's not just the cost of tuition, cost of attendance in California is extremely high because cost of living in California is extremely high. You'd have to compare it with enrollments across the country.
Sure, so when openai moves to groq it might be something. Groq with the current models is impressive but doesn’t work for us is what I am saying. As I don’t actually have access to other models on groq, this is groq as it stands.
One thing that works for parallelization in these unsecure situations are things that you know you'll surely need. This even might just involve testing things. E.g. on member developes a comparison method for testing, another member goes for one approach, another for the other and a third for yet another. And after a set period you try to evaluate everything. Of course this approach only makes sense when there isn't already a favoured or clearly superior approach.

Similarily during actual development modularization can be a way to parallelize development. So one component per person or per team.

For my own stuff I also like to interleave the human-facing parts of my products with the technological guts, especially if I am still figuring things out — developing the technology without knowing how it is being used will force the way you can use it into a certain direction — designing the interface without knowing the technology has it's own traps as well.
>Most aircraft outside of fighter jets are aerodynamically stable.

Sure, but there is significant overlap between being stable and throwing around passengers, unfortunately.

Dropping 500 feet is perfectly okay for the aircraft and it will largely continue to not simply fall out of the sky past that.

Your reference would only be true if we could actually catalog, index, reference, retain, and absorb all there is to know about the physical world into a model so simple we can still comrehend it. That's... unlikely.

More likely is that progress, discovery, and improvement behave more like dispersing bits of fog in an intractably large cloud that's always creeping back in on the clearings your made previously. You can sustain positive progress but its asymptotic at best and there are always regressions eating away at what you've done in the past.

So don't worry, there's always going to be more kinds of work to do, just like there's always going to be more physics to study.
I never said better or worse. Policy-shaping influence is not anywhere close to 'buy these sneakers' influence in terms of potential impact.

If an entire generation believes they're entitled to, say, government-supported retirement as a result of media influence, that can shape an entire country's economic prospects.

> a huge deviation from what is acceptable.

The question is acceptable to whom. There are pastimes that are risky such as rock climbing, Formula 1 racing, and many others. Would you ban those too? If not then you must accept that there are degrees of risk that are acceptable to some and not to others. Assuming that the decision is genuinely made without any kind of coercion why should society dictate what risks people can take?

As has been pointed out elsewhere on this topic the poor and ill educated won't be offered these opportunities anyway so that kind of implicit coercion does not apply.
Herb Sutter makes that point though somewhat hidden amongst all the apologetics... let's not forget there are security vulnerabilities that don't originate in memory access violations.

I remember my family having bought a PC and an Epson printer sometime in the 1990s. Both were roughly in the ~$1000 range. Almost a decade later we considered selling the computer for ~$50, and gave it away instead. We sold the printer for about the same price we bought it. (It was a type of printer that was in demand as small companies could print invoices and receipts with it).

EDIT: I checked the model and incredibly it is still sold, between $300-$1000 on ebay, etc.
