It hasn't really stopped, from what I can see. Some sites got shut down, but it was a token few and certainly not something the video game industry seems keen on shutting down with any seriousness, and why would they? The loophole here is that that you are gambling loot for loot, so you are only paying for loot with real dollars, you aren't (usually) straight gambling money on odds, though this does occur, its far far less prominent than the culture around loot and gambling, as noted, and this has lead to misaligned incentives and the government has not shown any real interest in taking systematic action, from what I can tell.
TBH I like both. There's a need for food writing and story telling, and a need to cut through the fluff and get to the main, precise result you need to know. I oscillate between adoring good writing and adoring Erdos' 3-page papers that get straight to the point.

The Tiago.ev(1) is small, but not what I would consider "teeny-tiny". It's about the same size as my Kia Rio which is also small but easily fits 5 people. Your other points might be valid.

We can of course imagine whatever we want, but what does "consciousness field" mean? (Or perhaps we imagine consciousness fields in general before we imagine anything about the sun's?)
The main engine can run on fuel oil and methanol/LPG. They claim they can have 40k km of range on methonol.

Strange, for you to say this in the age of transformers. They are obviously not there yet, but it seems inevitable to me that e.g. gpt 'understands' things better than a markov chain, and that future systems will understand more.
I get the impression it is more that many students that feel they were above the system are projecting other reasons into this, to be frank. Especially in forums like this one. Combine that with somehow we seem to have far less empathy and charity than in the past, and you get this sort of situation.

And it isn't even that folks are wrong; but evidence is fairly clear that nobody has a solution for education that works. We do know of a bunch of small things that can work in some situations, but at large, we are still trying.

> People need to make money somehow. Developers who spend years creating, maintaining, and continually improving an open source database (or other project) used by millions deserve compensation.

Look at the list of contributors to Postgres that I linked to. The vast majority of them are employed to work on Postgres, some by big tech companies, others by smaller managed hosting providers and consultancies.

That is a sustainable funding model for an open source database project. What isn't sustainable is building a business around the idea that only your company will ever profit off of (and thereby fund) the FOSS project. The whole point of FOSS is that both the work and the gains are shared with the whole community.

This hypothesis doesn't at all jive with the data in the article, which is about chronic absenteeism, and which shows that absentee rates have absolutely exploded. This is not just about people with the sniffles not coming to school.
I think a lot of it comes from following advice similar to "Write a Catchy First Paragraph" and it goes too far. You end up starting out with bizarre barely-sequiturs like "Fiona was a graduate student in lower New York in a family cafe run by a man named João sipping her usual order of single-origin cappuccino on a rainy Wednesday" before we even find out what the article is about, let alone what the actual insight is.

Furthermore, a lot of popular science ends up using the people involved as the lens through which the ideas are eventually viewed. Which makes a lot of sense for professional writers who are probably more attuned to the human interest than technical people. For an example, the first thing I did with a Lego vehicle model kit was to throw the little figurine into the "junk bits box" and proceed with a now-robotic model. Many things are more like Oppenheimer than Trinity Device Annotated Systems Manual. Which doesn't mean they're wrong, per se: the audience for it is probably bigger and the overall "utility" of the work is higher. And even a grump like me knows you shouldn't completely ignore human factors. On top of that, people who can write the complex technical stuff often don't want to mess about in the middle ground. But the bimodality is still annoying to me: people-centric "Stories" or deeply-involved dessicated technical material that I don't easily understand if it's not my field and not so much in-between.

Sure, there are solutions presented in the installation guide [1]. It usually involves using the cloud or virtualization platform's out of band channel, which Talos all supports, to securely provision a config on first boot.

You can also generate a custom installation medium or cloud image that pulls config from your trusted machines if you cannot use out-of-band provisioning.

You can also securely use the insecure maintenance mode when there is a firewall in front of the machine, which prevents access by non-administrator clients to the API ports on IP level.

I'm not a fan of Talos booting into insecure maintenance mode without config w/o prompting for at least a PIN displayed on-screen, but the problem you're describing in no way prevents production use.

Do you not realize that SAT might just be O(2^n) at best? Even if by a gigantic miracle SAT is in P, unless there is another incredibly great miracle and it is something like O(n^3), which would almost certainly be the greatest discovery of CS, it would not replace almost any other algorithms? Simply because many of the most important ones are O(n^2) or even less.

>I think there might be a single algorithm, a SAT solver, which will subsume all others.

This is legitimately insane. You might as well hope for free energy, FTL Travel, or magic.
Correct, they did. And as someone who went to school ~20 years ago - the requirement the prior poster mentions was either not a thing or not enforced if the student was doing fine academically.

Pretty much no one raised an eyebrow about this sort of thing, certainly not at the 10 day total mark.

Why do you think the rules have remained the same?

Similarly, I don't think I ever had an "excused" absence, I didn't have to provide evidence or doctor's notes to the school when I was sick. That simply wasn't a thing that was tracked at all.
> Does AGPL fit your definition of "open source"?

The AGPL was a direct consequence of companies taking FLOSS software and turning it into de facto closed source because they weren't actually 'distributing' anything.

So...they came up with a new licence to force said companies to comply with the spirit of the GPL if they wanted to voluntarily use the software as a part of their business venture.
Back in the day I would go to work with severe flu like symptoms. My company championed heroics and I could get points for showing up on "deaths door" reporting to duty. Of course, a few hours in a manager would notice and they would send me home. If you just called in sick, however, "people would talk." Crazy to think about that in the lens of 2024!

I guess you could give realistic voices to people that lost their voices by using old recordings, but there's no way that this is a market that justify the investment.
Most schools have a policy of not returning to school until 24 hours after the last measurable fever. One cold can burn 3 days easily that way. Four colds (easy in elementary school) during the season and you’re already up to 12 days. Throw in a stomach bug, and maybe some appointments and now you’re getting really close to the limit.
Maybe it won’t collapse but maybe everything is only working 70% as well as it used to. It sure feels that way.

It can entirely depend on your family/friend circle. For me and mine, In-n-Out is expected, weddings are happening in the locality of one of the families, many are day trips.

Other people's family and friends will have multiple destination weddings, etc.

Still suspect it's not a major component, kids can only have so many grandparents after all.

> Gambling for me is analogous to marijuana smoke. It's stinky, and I don't really want it in public, but I don't mind if you do it behind closed doors. I just don't want to see it constantly.

This is a purely cultural adaptation — especially in the U.S.

People said the exact same thing about interracial & homosexual couples in the 60's.

Gambling isn't inherently bad, it was just banned throughout the U.S. and, like marijuana, was constantly presented as bad.

In my elementary schooling my parents would somewhat regularly (once a year, sometimes more) take a week or two vacation that didn't align with breaks, since sometimes things like family events, or good opportunities don't align with school. But my parents did it because they knew I wasn't really missing much.

I and a good many others in my classes were WAY ahead of the curriculum already, and basically sitting bored in class all day. I remember my parents literally asked my teachers to give me more advanced homework because I would constantly say I learned basically nothing or that days would go by wasted reviewing things I had already mastered.

So they were confident that I wasn't really missing much from being out even for a week or two at a time. I don't know if this is standard practice nowadays, but I know my parents also requested from the teacher that weeks worth of coursework so I could do them even while on vacation. I could usually finish a weeks worth of coursework within like an hour or two of sitting down, and I didn't even consider myself a particularly gifted student compared to some.
It could also mean that learning two languages in school improved your language learning ability, so it went easy for you later (which probably was the whole point in the first place — for sure nobody expected you to use Latin as a speaking language in you daily life).

Anecdotally, I’ve noticed that people who didn’t learn other languages in school, face difficulties when they start doing that later in life.
I hold views in both sides here. I teach computers at an elementary school on Thursdays, and my kids go to that school.

As an educator I see an impact of absences even in this fun class that kids want to go to and there isn’t a grade. We generally have a 1-2 or 1-2-3 approach to teaching something. That is: teach it one week, then review it, then teach or review it again the next.

When someone is out for two weeks they just don’t learn that concept and then later on need specialized attention to be caught up. Or in the case of larger class sizes or multiple kids out the whole class either has to be slowed down or those kids get left behind.

That to me is the bigger problem: absences change the velocity of the class and make it harder for not just the kids that are absent.

On the other hand: I wish school life was more flexible so I could take my kids to more life experiences. Grand parents live an 18 hour drive or an 18 hour flight away. We ski. We travel. And we value school.

I wish there was an easier “if you are out for this week, then here’s a link to the remote curriculum”, but as a teacher, it is the difference between supporting a fully remote office and a hybrid one. It’s more work and teachers are already overworked and under paid compared to the value they have on society.

During covid we had all remote school and while the outcomes of my kids suffered the flexibility was nice. I wish we, as a society and nation figured out how to find a way to make that work instead of going “back to normal” and learning/changing nothing.

For instance: I imagined a nationally backed “remote school” any student could optionally attend on a week they are sick or out. With both live remote lectures and pre-recorded content. Maybe parent guides for some homeschooling. Or if students are lagging behind in that model, maybe sunmer school becomes more normal (or some other creative solution).

It’s a bit like that Rick and Morty episode where he is in the VR game. “ What's this, you beat cancer and then went back to work at the carpet store? Boo.” We lived through Covid and then collectively decided to go back to the carpet store.

What about for remembering lost loved ones? There are dead people I would love to hear talk again, even if I know it's not their personality talking just their voice (and who knows, maybe with LLM training on a single person it could even be roughly their personality, too).

I can imagine a fairly big market of both people setting it up before they die, with maybe a whole load of written content and a schedule of when to have it read in future, and people who've just lost someone, and want to recreate their voice to help remember it.
Which genetic variants were selected out of the population (in one generation), and how did they lead to decreased brain size?

I’m asking this because you think genetic selection happened to change brain size. This level of genetic selection would show up in population genetic screens like a huge, obvious signal. So, please point me to that.

But you won’t do that. Instead you’ll wave your hands and say “oh details are not important”. You are going to say that because you’re wrong and there is no real factual basis for your belief. Instead you’re relying on vibes, and half remembered pop science, and a unhealthy amount of open mindedness to one of the worst ideas humanity has ever had (eugenics).

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=nagi%2C%20japan

But, that I have knowledge of, the reality of "family-friendly policies" is always "that's nice, but...". Politicians make a big show of kinda-addressing a few of the barriers to having a bunch of kids. Then loudly congratulate themselves...and walk away. Leaving huge barriers to anyone who's actually interested in having kids.

Starting back in early-1940's America, with minimal family wealth and a pretty modest job, my own parents had & raised 6 kids. And paid for our college educations.

In modern America - considering just the costs of medical care, housing, and college - could anyone outside of the top 1% even dream of doing that?

But, conveniently, there are massive entrenched interests behind the vastly higher modern costs of medical care, housing, and college. Interests that really don't give a sh*t about making "have a decent-sized family" affordable for the 99%.

Do you not understand that an O(n^100) algorithm is in P, but can never be run feasibly on a computer for any non trivial amounts of n? For n=10 you are already far beyond the number of Atoms in the universe.

Those people from the modern day province of Frisia (or Fryslân), myself included, are called Frisians in English though. Same linguistic borrowing, but different time period, so the horses ended up Friesian and the people (and everything related to the province and historical region) Frisians.

Not sure what you mean by republic. Frisia became a kingdom after the collapse of the Roman Empire until the 8th century, after which the usual conquering and reconquering by various factions began.

Often in the USA the written rules will be similar, but the actual rules are completely different.

Few teachers are going to call the truant police on a high-school aged student who leaves during the day, even though technically they could. Younger students would more likely get the actual police called out of concern for safety, not enforcing school.

Some schools it's so bad that the system just entirely gives up, but doesn't document it - so you have students who have never been to class more than a few days but according to the records, they're always there.
Wikipedia: "A journalist is a person who gathers information in the form of text, audio or pictures, processes it into a newsworthy form and disseminates it to the public"

So in a way a podcast host is still a journalist, it's that the power balance and incentive between the CEO (who wants to get a message out in front of a less hostile interviewer), and the host (who would appreciate the increase in listenership) as of today is conducive for this setup.

I wonder what would happen when the power balance shifts, that they would also be considered 'incisive journalists'.

Indeed the article touches on this:

> Part of Fridman’s draw is that he lets the interviewee talk a lot. It’s cooperative, not combative, and likely helps him land guests, but it also does his audience a disservice. Fridman didn’t respond to messages asking for comment about his podcast.

It reminds me of large tech companies banning specific news sites from their shows, or large gaming companies not sending out preview copies to news sites, where the reviews in the past have been unfavourable.

How does having more life experiences preclude someone from earning money? I'd go so far as to suggest that a more rounded "real-world" education improves their chances of making money.

I was chronically absent in high-school and it certainly wasn't because I was sick. School wasn't very engaging and I maintained good grades while barely being there.

I can definitely see how COVID shutdowns unmoored some families from school and the return process made it a generally less compelling experience. If you aren't learning, socializing all happens on your phone, and you'll graduate regardless, then why go?
