> Is it possible that expectations around attendance have never been reasonable or even safe?

When I read this, I thought you were making a more general point, rather than about missing school on account of sickness.

To the general point, I think schooling is entirely unreasonable, and a terrible way to bring up humans. Though, I obviously think it is valuable to learn to read and write, know maths and certain tools to get by in life.

But the rest of it is terrible - institutionalising children, filling children up with government ideas as if no other interpretations are available, the insistence of deference to authority, leaving no space for individuality, the application of some sort of 'people metric' where you are a problem if you don't want to sit for hours or find the propaganda dull. And this is to say nothing of the impossible expectations teachers have on them, which make the lessons even more depersonalising and uninspiring. In the face of this, we will see perpetual ai teachers and the lifetime monitoring as a good thing.

No wonder there are so many lost people - people who have been brought up by loveless institutions can't even conceive of what they have not experienced - the materialistic collectivised mindset seems 'normal', rather than being seen as an ultra-radicalised ideology itself.

Most people have completely lost sight of what it means to bring up children. It's simply not about farming out the job to institutional structures.
How is that inaccurate?

Windows has at a few points in time become 'source available' but nobody (+dog) thinks they can take that code and use it for anything.

People can do whatever they want with the BSD released code but, going forwards, they can't use any newly licenced proprietary code. I'm no legal expert but this seems to include all the code that was previously released as BSD if one were to reference the new and improved 'source available' release. It stands to reason that all the future releases are now off limits even though they contain identical code from the BSD releases.
If you're reading this and thinking "it can't be that bad:"

no, it really is.

On paper, Azure has everything you need and more.

In reality, using Azure is death by one hundred thousand cuts that's smoothed over by an army of support engineers, TAMs, and PMs (seriously!) providing the best support I have ever seen. Seriously, they are everywhere. They're probably reading this comment!

Enumerating them like this is SUCH A GREAT IDEA.

Here are some of the ones I experienced when I spent a year working seriously with Azure:

- I hope you like HTTP 409 CONFLICT

- Azure AD goes down ALL OF THE TIME. Everything in Azure and Office 365 relies on Azure AD. Somehow this is fine.

- One minute, your VM will take two minutes to create. Another minute, it will take 45. You have no way of knowing beforehand.

- Literally EVERYTHING about Azure ARM. You will not get nested templates right. Just give in.

- Try using Azure DevOps via CLI. You will love Jira more quickly than you thought possible.

Ack, there was a big enough issue with this that I'm going to fix it and repost it when it's working properly!
Conceptually the Framework laptop is getting moderately close to this.

Unfortunately we have signaling over USB C or Thunderbolt so good that everything is connected by wires instead of being integrated into a "standard case design" so whilst we can (somewhat) have the expandability, we don't have the resulting neatness.
It's not "necessary", but, when combined with a tarpit on port 22:

1. You can monitor if your private key is compromised and automatically rotate it.

2. It's fun to mess around with hackers and script kidies.
I just started medication for ADHD and it's helped a lot of things, so. There's that. I find that on top of being distracted less (not zero, it's not magic) I have more of a desire to do other stuff, like learn and read and play with my son and have good conversations with people I love. I find I'm more in control of my emotions, especially the critical ones, and my tendency to obsess and ruminate is reduced.

Based solely on this paragraph, you sound like me, so I'm going to take a shot and tell you what I'd tell my 24 year old self: no amount of browbeating yourself is going to fix this. Discipline takes work, yes, but it also takes a mind able to do the work. See a therapist, and/or a doctor. Lay all this stuff out and see what they say. After that, start small. But not just small--something you'd think you would enjoy. Don't force yourself to eat your vegetables at this stage. Something that lands in the middle of fun and enriching, which can produce a skill or a product you will eventually be proud of, but which in the meantime you like doing.

Take heart. This is doable. I've been there, it sucks, and there's a way out.
I don't really see a distinction in effect between forcing a human to follow a script and getting a chatbot to impersonate a human. How is it "bad customer service" in one hand and "unethical and creepy" on the other? How is it not just unethical, creepy, and bad customer service all around?

of course, both actually are clearly unethical if they don't appear to be representing corporate interests, but I haven't run into this issue outside of robocalls (which are, I believe, illegal already).
Don't remember much about MacIntyre from my years as a theology student, but he was a catholic, no?

If so, he doesn't disagree with nihilism as understood and critiqued by Nietzsche, on the contrary.

I've never heard of Pete Docherty.
I am not sure, if our concept of evolution can be applied to the stars, assuming they have consciousness.

Asking why they evolved consciousness, would be the same to me as asking why the big bang happened and what was before that.

No idea, this is way beyond my understanding. But I doubt there is any human who has these insights.

So to clarify, I do not claim anything here, I just state how little we know about the grand picture and the rest is speculation, which I am aware is entering theological realms.
Eleventy is pretty great! Highly recommend.
Edit: Great work! I'd love to have a nice alternative to PyTorch in JavaScript :)

Edit: formatting

Making JavaScript look like Python in this case could potentially bite you in the ass.

From the example:

const torch = require("js-pytorch");

// Instantiate Tensors:
x = torch.randn([8,4,5]);
w = torch.randn([8,5,4], requires_grad = true);
b = torch.tensor([0.2, 0.5, 0.1, 0.0], requires_grad = true);

And:

class Transformer extends nn.Module {
constructor(vocab_size, hidden_size, n_timesteps, n_heads, p) {
//.....
this.b1 = new nn.Block(hidden_size, hidden_size, n_heads, n_timesteps, dropout_p=p);

For both `requires_grad` and `dropout_p` you wouldn't be able to change the ordering + you're creating global variables.

/**
* All of the arguments for this function are positional
* and cannot be provided in a different order than defined
*/
function performOperation(values, arg1 = false, arg2 = -1) {
//....
}

/**
* This works, but only because of the order
*/
const result = performOperation([1, 2, 3], arg1 = true, arg2 = 10);

/**
* This does not work
*/
const result = performOperation([1, 2, 3], arg2 = 10, arg1 = true);

/**
\* What is actually happening
\*/
arg1 = true; // global variable
arg2 = 10; // global variable

const result = performOperation([1, 2, 3], 10, true);

You are depressed. You may want to check on that.

Aside of that, most people become good at something just by practicing. The first thousand hours of doing something are a chore, and suck. But once you start mastering it, it becomes a joy.

Finally, it is your choice, if you want to be like the "prototypical " HN user. HN is an anomaly in the US culture of "productivity" . And the US also has some crazy "work to live" culture you don't see in other places.

I'm from Mexico, and over here most people live a veeery relaxed life. No need to be ruthlessly productive. But that's a choice you ought to make.

Ah, I was wrong then. It was not a misunderstanding, you are simply replying in bad faith.

Well, I hope your life gets better, to the point where you are at least partially at peace with your American identity, and no longer feel the need to write such embarrassing comments.
> If I need multiple sources to explain it to me, then it is not communicating the information effectively is it?

Navigating life expecting to understand everything without first having to learn the things is... unreasonable. The burden is not exclusively on the one sending the message: the one receiving the message shares his part of the burden.

> I did Google it and got Reddit telling me that anyone that does not have a left leaning bias is just ignorant of science

That's directionally better, but it's definitely not what I mean and is not how I would put it. This is why you need to look at multiple sources. Not just for this, but in life in general.
There are truancy laws, but they're state/local (so there's no unified US standard), may also interact with the local school district's policy on absences, and there's often little enforcement effort. Parents may also "home school" which usually comes with significantly less overall scrutiny from the government, but the details of this also vary by jurisdiction.

(Yes, education policy in the US is an absolute mess.)

They produce 60-80 milligram of calcium carbonate 'per fiber', per 30 hours. I'm interested to know how they keep the bacteria alive over time, through the concrete curing process (high temperatures, high level of carbon dioxide, making any liquids in the vicinity highly acidic), and how the bacteria remain viable over time. Concrete we consider to last over decades, or a century?
The article points out the rise in truancy is similar across socioeconomic boundaries
The article credits a docuseries I've never heard of for making this a widely known issue:

I swear I read some long form journalism on this issue years ago. Anyone know what I might have found? For the Brits who have previously heard of this scandal, did you know about it prior to January of this year?

There's also a lot of accents, which are straining on Whisper (though it's also doing well), but surely help WhisperX. It did have issues with figuring out the number of speakers on it's own, but that wasn't a problem for my use case.

I absolutely hate the proliferation of online gambling everywhere in the US. I'm used to it in Europe, but it's still jarring to me that live broadcasts will regularly mention betting odds in an attempt to get people to gamble.

I can't imagine how difficult it must be for somebody with a gambling addiction. I also can't help but think what kids think about gambling if its thrown at them constantly.

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.
I also have this feeling, but i do feel myself doubting from the lack of examples in this conversation. What are some recent examples of this type of scandal that we can use to solidify this conversation?

Blue–green deployment is very interesting, where with deployment you swap between production and staging. This makes mistakes easy to revert, with downtime into the minutes. Downtime of minutes is very acceptable for startups/hobby projects.
> Even is SAT is P that doesn't imply a solution can feasibly be found.

It does, because in this case you also assumed that running numerical algorithm was feasible. So if your SAT solver fails to find the answer, it is either suboptimal method (because numerical method exists), or (if the instance is UNSAT) the numerical method gives you a flawed result.

People got pulled from class for vacations all the time when I was a kid.

It wasn't super common, but it was common enough that there was a standard procedure around it (basically you'd get the classwork/homework that you'd be missing and be expected to present it upon return).

I think a bigger part now is that schools are somewhat more overloaded, so missing class puts you "out of sync" and there's nothing to help you catch back up. When I was young the parents were expected to do that: I don't know how common it is now.

Yup. eth transactions could happen in the time it takes to run a credit card if you wait for just a couple confirmations, which should be acceptable risk for point of sale. Bitcoin has lightning.

As to your last point: credit card fraud is still rampant and hardly anyone accepts checks outside of contractual b2b transactions. The issues with those technologies are technical in nature. Sending a crypto transaction doesn't allow someone to fraudulently charge your account like those technologies do. Whether chargebacks should even exist in a secure transaction system by default is debatable. I personally don't think that kangaroo court service is worth the fraud + global ~3% fees. Think about all the chargebacks you've made in your life that weren't related to credit cards just being insecure. I'm certain they are not worth 3% of your total spending.

The major killer feature of scheme-style lambdas is that you don't have to name them. Naming stuff is hard, and you usually get it wrong. If the thing you want to do is a couple lines of code, and you can just drop it in as a lambda and not have to think of a meaningful name, it's easier to keep flow-state. If things expand to the point where glancing at the code doesn't tell you what the function does, that is the time to break it out into a named function.

I'm surprised that you are so ready to abandon your common sense in the face of a psychology book (Judith Rich Harris's book specifically, which asserts that how a parent treats a child has almost no influence on how the child turns out). Psychology papers and psychology books misuse and misapply statistics all the time. Surely someone as well educated as you knows this? (Maybe your wife is a psychologist, so you are overly accepting of psychology results?) The basic mistake being made here is to ignore the possibility that a parent has treated different children differently: one kid is shy: a good parent will nudge him into making friends, but avoid forcing him into unstructured situations with many children because that will tend to overwhelm him. I.e., a good parent is part of the so-called "unshared environment": the shy kid's non-shy sister is not treated the way I just described. (There is for example no need to nudge her into making friends.)
