Yes, that is "almost never" in a country with 340,000,000 people.

Besides which, "having access to a cellphone" did not alter the outcome at all in those tragic incidents.
My kids’ high school required kids to have a phone. They strongly encouraged the kids use the calendar to track assignments, they used the camera for capturing homework instructions from a white board, they sometimes made movies for class assignments, and they had some kind of Twitter-like app for the teachers to broadcast to the kids and the kids to contact teachers (this didn’t seem to be used often). They also used the browser a lot for looking stuff up.

When I went to the fall parent-teacher orientation night and they explained all this, it didn’t sound like phone use was a huge problem, but maybe they just didn’t want to talk about the problems. I did like that they had structure around phone use that included appropriate and inappropriate uses of the phone.

I totally get banning phones with young kids, but high schoolers should be treated more like adults as they progress through the grades. Some of the kids were entering the workforce or joining the military after their senior year. They should be ready for that.

The title is a little misleading.

I am not exactly unfamiliar with a hex editor but really: you can't.
Imagine having to teach a whole class, keep track of each kids engagement, where they're at, if they need more help, and on top of that, having eyes on the back walls of the classroom to see if kids have their phones hidden in their pencil case or something, watching youtube or cheating, or msging each other, or are wearing buds under their hair and are just jamming and not listening in class... Imagine each kid has a gaming console in their hand and are already addicted to all their devices and on top of trying to teach them a full curriculum, you also have to be their addiction counselor and police.

At most, if kids phones were registered as "student" phones and registered to a school so that between certain hours, the phones allowed policies from the school to be applied to a phone while the phone is on the premises. Teachers could just disable them during class or allow for exceptions like if such and such kid was waiting for a critical call from a parent or something.. Classrooms could have beacons telling the phones they're in a classroom so if they go in the halls the phones could work... Or not.. Either way, there should be tech solutions to tech problems and teachers have enough to deal with, they shouldn't be further strained by having to police students always trying to find ways to sneak on to their devices.

Soon teachers might be a thing of the past and kids will just interact with an AI teacher anyway... The AI will be responsible for keeping them engaged and make sure they understand the material. At that point the AI can just shock them into submission if they whip out their phones... Muahahhaa... jk jk.

That first one doesn't work with Firefox. It loads pretty quick but the application shows a flash of being in a jumbled state where the CSS hasn't been applied. The dropdown menu for Product and Solution don't work at all, clicking on other pages such as "Case Studies" takes several seconds during which there is no loading indicator.

I tried it on Chrome and it was very slow to load at first without any indicator,
I felt like I was committing heresy when I told my friends that the vision pro was unlikely to succeed or at least succeed culturally. I'm sure it will pick up some niches just like the meta headset.

The reality is, this is a covid product and covid is over. Regardless of price (outside being extremely cheap) I don't see people even dropping $1500 on this thing. I don't have a single person in my life that has used a VR headset for anything more than beatsaber and the occasional movie. They're sweaty, heavy, and they're just isolating to wear for long periods of time, along with various other edge cases like glasses and eye strain.

There's already a pretty big movement to limit screen time and cut down on technology, and focus on fitness. I think that's why the apple watch is doing so well. I could see something like the ray ban meta glasses taking off, especially with an enhanced siri and some AR. But the vision pro and VR in general feels like a form of nerd sniping that the general public literally doesn't care about other than randomly using it at parties.
This is a terrific deep-dive from Stephen Wolfram that explains not only how ChatGPT and other LLM applications work "under the hood," but also how they can give rise to logic and grammar -- but notably not math or computation.
I think "do this matrix math and draw these polygons Really Really Fast" is specialized enough that GPUs are on the whole compelling as specialized hardware. That and this is a massive huge market which can benefit from economies of scale and Moore's law itself.

Accelerating a particular language runtime is a different story.

TBH people don't seem to have a problem generally with "throwing cycles away" and adopting languages like Python which have a pretty slow execution story. There's clearly not much of an economic advantage in optimization for processor throughput, otherwise more stuff would be getting [re]written in systems languages like C/C++/Rust/Zig etc, which would be a lot cheaper than developing custom hardware.

And frankly most of the stuff that gets funding and people seem to get excited about in our industry right now... doesn't need much CPU. It's mostly just glue languages waiting on I/O. Apart from the ML/LLM hype right now, which relies heavily on... GPUs.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply.

Paying the large, important items first is a great idea. I like the idea of having some discretionary money that can be spent guilt-free as the main things are covered.

My spouse and I have a modest income disparity. For fairness, I’ve created a spreadsheet for bi-weekly core budgeting (i.e. each payday) that takes the percentage of each of our incomes and shows what amount (by percentage) we “owe” for a given line item that either me or her are responsible for.

Money is shuttled back and forth between separate bank accounts as needed.

Hahaha it's such a lovely idea! Turning the opponents detection against them, I very much dig it!

Here's a caveat though: Attackers will at some point notice scarecrows and simply work around them. Now suuure, if you have a better lock than your neighbours, that decreases your chances of getting broken into, but in the end this is a classic "security by obscurity" measure. So if your time and computer/data is valuable, I would rather invest in other security measures (firewall, awareness training, backups etc.)

I'm not finding this in the tech specs so far... Does it support RVV? If so is its version post-1.0 or pre-1.0?
I agree. The demand curve has shifted as people have the cash and aren’t willing to substitute other products.
To be clear, I'm not an expert, but the way I imagine it is as genetically encoded biases to process information differently based on its colour, position, which neuron(s) or receptors it's coming in from, etc. that don't necessarily encode the entire neural circuitry for a behavior, but make it automatically learnable without the need for full-blown experiences, just as a consequence of the neurons developing and being exposed to normal environmental information at all.

I recall an instance of Steve Jobs actually being a nice guy in this respect.

He was talking to a well-known third-party Mac developer (I think Panic, but maybe it was a different one) and asked what they were going to be working on next. "Well, we're thinking about doing an MP3 player". Jobs just said "Don't." (this was not long before iPod/iTunes came out).

So they didn't, no doubt saving them a lot of development time and money.
Doesn't change the fact that the original authors weren't into generics, let's stop rewriting history here.

Is it clear to you what is done? As far as I can tell, we are instructed to "empty" the text, then to compile three lists, but the article I see ends with:

> In the example Le Lionnais gives, the liste M is the list of all verbs appearing in the Tohoku paper.

… and says nothing about what to do with those lists.
Like a bunch of folks are saying, the most important thing is that you are both on the same page regardless of what you choose.

As far as all joint accounts vs having individual accounts, I think if has to do with how you view marriage. Is it a single whole, or is it a joined pair of individuals.

For me personally, I view my wife and I as single team. Everything is joint (outside of a few super old accounts like other have mentioned). My income is our income. Her income is our income. The fact that I make more is irrelevant to our spending habits.

To me, having separate individual accounts, feels like you aren't committing fully to marriage and are keeping your money yours "just in case." If you are already feeling like you need a "just in case," why are you get married to begin with. I feel like separate accounts based on the income disparity would most likely lead to feelings of imbalance and resentment down the line.

I am sure there are a huge number of my biases implicit here, and there are plenty of reasonable conversations to have either way. People obviously make it work in all types of ways, so like I (and many others here have) mentioned getting on the same page is really the core of it.
Not necessarily a good sign. Non-pro models have fewer features than pro models so this could be a sign that they're being less cutting edge and innovative.
As the article notes they were already working on the cheaper model. It makes no mention or shifting resources or increasing efforts toward it.
There are quite a few of these studies from the modern era about the effect that these devices have on children. They posit the exact opposite of what you're saying here, and have data to back it up. I presume that these are what you're referring to as "non-scientific" here and have specific issues with their methodology, and not just disliking the concept that phone/social media could be bad in some fashion.

Can you explain why they are all false?
It's on my list to try. Haven't sat down to actually try using Tailscale with servers yet but seems like a good option. Thanks!

> Cuda looks like it does

And that's what matters. It might be seen like moving the goal posts by someone who knows how it works in the background and what kind of work is necessary to support the new architecture, but that's irrelevant to end users. Just like end users didn't care about "true" or "fake" dual cores.

> If someone can upgrade the cuda install on the machine, they could upgrade whatever program was running on cuda as well.

No, because that would mean that all GPGPU developers have to update their code to support the new hardware, instead of just the runtime taking care of it. I think you're more focused on HPC, data centers, and specialized software with active development and a small user base, but how would that work if I wanted to run a image processing program, video encoder, game, photogrammetry, etc, and the developer have lost interest in it years ago? Or if I have written some software and don't want to have to update it because there's a new GPU out? And isn't the cuda runtime installed by default when installing the driver, which auto updates?

> there's a gradual move toward spir-v

It was introduced 9 years ago, what's taking so long?

> Alternatively ship source code and compile it on site, that'll work for people who are willing to apt install a new clang

Doesn't seem to work well on Windows since you need to use a patched Clang, and some developers have a thing about shipping their source code.

On the whole both the developer and the Windows user experience is still very unergonomic, and I really expected the field to have progressed further by now. Nvidia is rightly reaping the reward from their technical investments, but I still hope for a future where I can easily run the same code on any GPU. But I hoped for that 15 years ago.
"Influencer" is just a fancy word for "freelance advertiser".

I would argue that it is meaningful, because there has been a shift in people's activities, such that being a freelance advertiser is actually semi-viable. For now.

Practical Logging for PHP Applications with OpenTelemetry
This is great project! I would love to see something that calculates training costs as well.
Used to be, you could look for something on Amazon and simply buy with confidence. Now, I've been burned too many times - so much so, that I prefer going to the source online retailers and buying from them. The amount of fake and shoddy products being sold on Amazon is skyrocketing. You'd think they'd care, but so far that doesn't seem to be the case.

I can't be the only one noticing this! :)
What would be cutting edge would be reducing the price point with the same feature set, though. If they can do it significantly cheaper, while retaining the necessary "Apple profit margin", that would be innovative in itself

The Farmer Was Replaced (A Python-esque automated farming game)
Just thought I'd share a cool find on Steam. The Farmer Was Replaced is a programming game where you control a farming drone, telling it to plant and harvest crops, add water and fertilizer, etc.

It starts with simple loops and grids, but gradually gets more challenging because different crops have their own rules. For example:

* Trees can't be surrounded by immediately adjacent trees

* Individual pumpkins can grow together into one bigger megapumpkin, giving you the cubic output of the contiguous block as a whole, but only if the individual pumpkins don't die first

* Sunflowers need to be harvested from largest to smallest in order, but the drone can only scan one tile at a time. You have to write a pathfinding algorithm to scan them all after a planting round, remember their order, and harvest them backward, then replant and rescan.

As a JS web dev, I found the game a good way to learn basic Python (I've come to really hate semantic whitespace...) as well as basic visual/spatial programming. I have zero knowledge of pathfinding & traveling salesman algorithms, for example, and this is a great excuse to learn them!

I'm not affiliated with the game in any way, just really like it.
An agenda "to take over the world", no.

What they most likely said is that it's an endorsement of Israeli appropriation of Palestinian culture.

That's what seems to be their position. You can make of it what you want. But there's no reason to spin what that they're saying into something exponentially and categorically different ("the Zionist agenda to take over the world"), with the clearly implied charge of antisemitism that goes along with it.

I'm not saying that's your intent -- but the phrasing is clear there, in your words. I suspect it's far more likely you just slung the phrase "Zionist agenda to take over the world" in there for the nifty emotive effect it seems to bring, without regard to whether it had any logical connection to what you were talking about.

Especially the pro Palestine crowd

Vaguely lashing out at some unspecified target here. Seriously, what is this supposed to mean? The hardcore social media addicts who grab the most attention -- mostly by pushing people's buttons, in this case obviously yours? Are they the "pro-Palestine crowd"? Is therefore everything they say representative of everyone who considers themselves "pro-Palestine" in some form?
Ok, but that's entirely separate from the reason given for the proposed phone ban.
Bullet list journalism? Not very informative...
> If I know kids, banning something just makes them want it more.

Then you don't know kids, because this is not how (most) kids work, certainly not at a young (pre-teen) age. And even in teenage years/puberty this kind of reductionist simplistic reasoning doesn't really apply (and is also one of those non-arguments that can be applied to everything).

And no one is argueing against all smartphone usage by kids. Or at least, I wasn't. Just saying people don't need to in touch on the way to and from school.
This was current when I was in college. That was, let's see, around 1981.
This is analogous to when we inherit an old application without the git history and the original developers are long gone. Our instincts are a bunch of logic rules encoded into our DNA like "If you see a python snake, run away".
That's pretty close to "almost never happens" That works out the 33 a year, but there's something like 129,000 schools in the US. And when people talk about school shootings, they're typically talking about mass shootings, and there are even fewer of those (apparently 0.5 per year according to https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/153/4/e20230...).

And then there's the question of how a cell phone is actually supposed to help in such an emergency. If anything, I think it would be a liability.
> what am I going to be able to do w/ a risc v board?

Be the coolest kid in the block.

Now, seriously, people buy RISC-V boards in order to use RISC-V boards. If it were to do something else, you'd probably be better off with an x86 or ARM design.
All money in joint accounts. We've agreed on an amount of money that is a "large" purchase; anything below that amount and either of us can just spend money without consulting the other. We talk to each other before buying anything expensive. Each of us maintains one individual credit card; this lets us buy gifts or surprises without the other seeing what was purchased. We do maintain separate HSA's (because for us it's advantageous for each of us to have individual health insurance from our employer), and we maintain separate 401k's (because that's how 401k's work).

Different things work for different people. I've known other couples who put most of their income into a joint account, but each person is given a monthly "allowance" that's auto-transferred to individual accounts. That lets each person have some discretionary money that's just theirs, and it can be saved or spent as they see fit.
But it says nothing about increasing effort or shifting resources toward it.

School shootings are bad, but claiming cell phones with kids would change anything is rich.

Teachers and staff have phones. I’d be willing to guess that most schools still have a hardwired phone in most classroom.
Europe also has lots of small countries with relatively few large cities, so passenger rail makes a lot of sense there.

Exactly. It's like mining lead from the bullets flying through an active battlefield. There's material there, but it's moving in different directions.
While Framework's blog post and their marketplace don't have a photo of the mainboard, Deep Computing's press release [1] does. Given the "DC-ROMA" name for the mainboard from DC, and their DC-ROMA laptop (not DC-ROMA II) which seems to have similar specs, I would guess that this is essentially the mainboard of that laptop, in Framework form. For context on price, DC is selling the full laptop for $300.

While it's a niche product, it is great to see other companies actually developing components for the Framework platform, and more, more diverse options for components starting to appear. Yes, as people point out, this product doesn't make much sense for many people, but it doesn't have to: part of the advantage of this platform is that components don't need to appeal to a wide customer base. We are also starting to see this now with the two screen options, the speakers (choice between louder or more accurate), etc.

If, as it seems, this is going to be quite low cost, I might buy one just to play around with it. It would be easy to swap with my normal mainboard, and when not in laptop form, could go in a printed enclosure.

Looking at the photo, it of course has no M.2 for storage, as mentioned in the blog post (nrp explains that choice on Framework's forum [3]), but does look like it has one for the wifi card; the microSD slot is also visible. It also seems to have quite a large fan and cooling arrangement for a JH7110, compared to other boards with it?

Battery on the DC-ROMA appears to have been 48 Wh [2], so not enormously smaller than Framework's 61 Wh and 55 Wh options, and battery life may be comparable plus 15% - 25%.
