Hey! Good questions. I'll try to clarify:

1. First want to clarify that the learner is first introduced to the topics through mastery learning (i.e., not given a topic until they've seen and mastered the prereqs). So, they would explicitly learn A before learning B, and explicitly learn B before learning C. It's only in the review phase when we do all this stuff with "knocking out" repetitions implicitly.

2. When you say "then you can assume that you also know B and A to at least some part," I want to emphasize that if C encompasses B and B encompasses A in the sense of a full encompassing that would account for a full repetition, then doing C fully exercises B and A as component skills. Not just exercises them "to some part." For instance, topic C might be solving equations of the form "ax+b=cx+d," topic B might be solving equations "ax+b=c," and topic A might be solving equations "ax=b."

3. This scenario should never happen: "you are shown C, but don't know B anymore, and thus cannot answer and have to repeat C." There are both theoretical and practical safeguards.

3a-- Theoretical: if you are at risk of forgetting B in the near future, then you'll have a repetition due on B right now, which means you're going to review it right now (by "knocking it out" with some more advanced topic if possible, but if that's not possible, we're going to give you an explicit review of B itself. In general, if a repetition is due, we're not going to wait for an "implicit knock-out" opportunity to open up and let you forget it while we wait. We'll just say "okay, guess we can't knock this one out implicitly, so we'll give it to you explicitly."

3b-- Practical: suppose that for whatever reason, the review timing is a little miscalibrated and a student ends up having forgotten more of B than we'd like when they're shown C. Even then, they haven't forgotten B completely, and they can refresh on B pretty easily. Often, that refresher is within C itself: for instance, if you're learning to solve equations of the form "ax+b=cx+d," then the explanation is going to include a thorough reminder of how to solve "ax+b=c." And even in other cases where that reminder might not be as thorough, if you're too fuzzy on B to follow the explanation in C, then you can just refer back to the content where you learned B and freshen up: "Huh, that thing in C is familiar but it involves B and I forgot how you do some part of B... okay, look back at B's lesson... ah yeah, that's right, that's how you do it. Okay, back to C." And then the act of solving problems in C solidifies your refreshed memory on B.

Anyway, I think I've clarified all your questions? But please do let me know if you have any follow-up questions or I've misinterpreted anything about what you're asking. Happy to discuss further.
On my own experience, LLMs are great to speed up boilerplate and test cases (note 1). And the closer you are to the business the more it become less useful (e.g. I used to work in an insurance company and it insisted to sum interests or taxes on some payments by hallucinating variables)
Note 1: On tests written by juniors it helped us to have much more tests, but did not improve their quality, llms have no way to measure coverage so it would just generate "cleaver" edge cases (NaN, and infinities even though theses cases were already caught by another place in the code), because the juniors would just accept any code recommendations from llms. Seniors on the other hand would only accept tests they wrote good descriptions for... Were the seniors fast? Yeah, they even enjoyed writing tests now. But reviews were a lot more about catching useless cases.
And yeah, I'm aware tests are not only about coverage, but it is one of the concerns we had.
“It's an artificial environment that disappears as soon as you graduate, and which you'll never find again anywhere else in society.”

Whoa there, society functions like a school environment.

You have cliches, bullies, enforcers, popular kids, the weirdos, etc.

What are our political parties other than massive cliches?

Bullies you can meet on the road, in stores, and nearly any other place you go.

Enforcers are police, detention centers, and fines.

Popular kids you need look no further than influencers, movie stares, etc.

The weirdos are anyone that doesn’t fit into our cliches.

Also, Foucault would have a few words with you as society is also an artificial environment.

The drama of daily life that plays out just happens in a larger more chaotic scale, but when we left highschool, highschool never left us.
Also when you wear multiple hats. Recently I had to setup an OpenResty including writing some fairly complex Lua scripts, both which I had never touched before, and it was much faster with the help of an llm.
This is a type of context switch. You are saying dollars are cheaper than money.

> The corresponding abuse of process to combat that metric would be to hyper-decompose stories.

You're right about that, but that's also one of the benefits to the approach. Inflating a point estimate is easy and there's no real audit trail for why the value is what it is.

On the other hand, if a team creates tasks like "Commit the code" or "save the file" it's pretty easy to identify as fluff.
I'll assume everything you say is right :)

The question here is whether Infineon had a contract with NASA or otherwise should have known these were sold to NASA.

Again there is nothing cited in the article that says "yes".

If you've got data that says yes, awesome, what is it?
Yes, and if they had larger mass budgets they could over-engineer things like shield thickness to have wider safety margins, and mitigate unexpected problems like this one. One can speculate future space probes generally will become more more reliable, as the the cost of mass-to-orbit goes down, and engineering constraints become looser.

(I wonder if Starship is useful for this type of problem: if you could adapt the orbital-refueling method to serve as radiation shielding, and put an electronics vault in the middle of the propellant tank? Could you adapt Starship into a spacecraft bus in this way?)

> Also, taxes aren’t theft. It’s the cost of living in society and providing for societal, shared goods. “Streets are theft!! All roads should be toll roads!” Want a grand society…

How is UBI a shared good? It definitionally takes from some to give to others. That is the opposite of a shared good.

Taxes are theft when taxes are used for nonpublic goods. That means any good that is not both nonrivalous and nonexcludable. We tend to allow the bluring of nonpublic goods the more hyperlocal we get, since we can more accurately address needs. But such nonpublic goods are still funded via theft.

What's wrong with paying for that which you use? It's a consumption based model, and I do believe it would lead to better economic and societal outcomes.
As far as my current employer is concerned, 3 story points equal 8 hours of work.

The previous one considered only complexity, so a simple change that needs adjustments all over the project would still be considered 1 story point, even if you needed multiple days to get it done.

The PO in the job before that kept asking "but how much time will you need for that" until he got an answer, ultimately making story points redundant.

Really, ymmv
I have to agree, this to me seems like a great in theory but questionable in practice.

We know how much damage a cli can do, they often don't have the protections in place most other systems. I mean if I copy files with AWS s3 there is zero confirmation that I am not overriding files.

Personally I feel like if you really want to use an LLM to generate your commands, the extra step of copying it from a website is probably a good one. At least you will be forced to actually look at it instead of just assume it is right and hit enter.

The example given in the document is a simple one, but with more complex CLI calls I would be scared to use this for anything but the simplest of things.

That is ignoring the questionable decision to possibly send very sensitive information to ChatGPT to generate these commands.
One of the things I liked to do in these old RPGs was find a way to level up to max right from the beginning. Usually it would involve putting a clamp on the controller at a particular point in the game. This worked in Ys and Dragon Slayer and FF6, for example.

In Genso Suikoden, I discovered a way to get so many water seals that I was effectively invulnerable because I'd regenerate 10x my health every round. Unfortunately, there's a vampire boss who's unkillable and is supposed to defeat you as part of the story. So I couldn't progress any further because it was impossible for either of us to kill the other.
That worthless fluff makes the dashboard look impressive when you put it up on large NOC type screens when you walk people through on tours though
>> did not know what the transistors would be used for

There are so many types of radiation that I do not think it unreasonable that they only notified customers who used these devices in particular environments. Most military use would be near radio transmitters (radars) or nuclear reactors (navy). Neither use case are an exact match for the radiation environment of Jupiter orbit.
You can argue that Shakespeare is comprehensible to a modern English speaker, but I don't think you can argue that it's modern English. The different "you" forms alone are enough to make it difficult to understand for most modern speakers.
Respectfully, it's a reaction to real comments and opinions that all telemetry is bad, period, and to the continual vocal pushback to virtually any change. No, not everyone says those things, but people do say them. It's also pushback on the idea that there's some nefarious collusion occurring to subvert user privacy; this is a long-term play to try to fundamentally improve user privacy over the status quo, and to give useful arguments and weapons to regulators to crack down on tracking. If you think it can be done better, don't argue here, show up in the standards meetings/issues/repos and make your case. But sitting back and doing nothing is just accepting the crazy level of tracking that occurs now.
All of this could just as well be created by the private sector.
As an Erlang person, from reading about Java's Virtual Threads, it feels like it should get a significant portion of the Erlang concurrency story.

With virtual threads, it seems like if you don't hit gotchas, you can spawn a thead, and run straight through blocking code and not worry about too many threads, etc. So you could do thread per connection/user chat servers and http servers and what not.

Yes, it's still shared memory, so you can miss out on the simplifying effect of explicit communication instead of shared memory communication and how that makes it easy to work with remote and local communication partners. But you can build a mailbox system if you want (it's not going to be as nice as built in one, of course). I'm not sure if Java virtual threads can kill each other effectively, either.
Most unfortunately, not every child will even have access to this unarguably beneficial life hack.

I learned to read early because my immigrant mom read to me in her non-native language every single night, and that's because she came from a culture that lauds education.

I wish every child was lucky enough to have a parent like this, but so many kids only get their first exposure to education in public school.
Some ISPs provide static IPs for an additional fee. Also, there are services like Cloudflare[1] and NoIP[2] that provide Dynamic DNS (DDNS) so you can tie your dynamic IP to a static address.

Most home made calculator/spreadsheet completely gloss over all the fees and details. But also most people have already emotionally decided to buy and want to pretend they did the math to justify their decision.
And if they do so in a controlled, legal setting, where they cooperate with proper scientists, wouldn't that be way better?
Another trend I have seen[1]
] (US market, high performance/high energy efficiency homes) is the use of HVAC and separate, standalone dehumidifier to do the same thing - take out humidity out of the air that the AC system has to otherwise both cool and dehumidify on it own.

The framing (at least as I understood it) was more on the psychometric side - 24C@65% relatuve humidity _feels_ worse than 27C@45%RH, but the energy savings aspect is also non-trivial.

As an aside - a fairly large number of central AC systems in the US do not have a humidity censor, so they only go by the temperature set point. Upgrading to control system which does measure humidity, while energy inefficient (because AC would be used to dehumidify the air _below_ the target set point), is an option, though not as good as having a stand-alone humidity control system. Sadly, I am unaware of Nest and/or Ecobee's support for this sort of a setup. Probably not cost effective for them. :\

> I'd imagine they could find something less critical to shave off to offset it

You’re still changing the spacecraft’s balance. Imagine moving one of an airliner’s engines a foot to the left. It can be done. But it’s a big change.

Now consider that “modern jet airliners have…useful load fractions, on the order of 45–55%,” while orbital rockets’ payload fractions are “between 1% and 5%” [1]. Deep space craft are another order of magnitude more sensitive.

Adding a little shielding here and there is the aeronautical equivalent of hanging a bag of bar bells off the tips of one of the wings.

[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payload_fraction Note: useful load != payload fraction, but within orders of magnitudes they’re comparable
> Higher Math, Not Competition Math

This is very true, especially now. So many families, at least in the competitive places like the Bay Area, push their kids to spend enormous amount of time on AMC, AIME, and etc. Other than viewing competition math as a way for their kids to get into elite universities, they often think that doing competition math as a way to be really good at math and they can cite many examples kids who are good at competition math also would have a bright career. Unfortunately, they got it backwards: kids who are naturally good at maths will like do well in competition math (think about Schulz or Terence Tao), but really not the other way around. For people like me, who have limited talent on maths, focusing on learning higher math and the associated essential problem-solving techniques will have a much higher return on investment.
I think parent is saying overcommit with OS threads. 4k requests = 4k OS threads. That would lead to the problems parent is talking about.
Why on earth would you involve a larger waste of resources to summarize something which is capturable and displayable without?
Github Advanced Security is $79/user per month (on top of $21/user per month for enterprise edition), but is actually really good. I’ve considered buying it for my own private repositories because it’s so nice (yes, a single person enterprise account is fine with Github too, and you can pay monthly).

I… used to like Gitlab, but it’s like they lost their way a few years ago and now I’d never recommend them.
I don't wear red. Just yesterday I saw a headline about Trump stating he wanted to lower taxes while skyrocketting tarrifs. Seems Big Red doesn't know tarrifs are taxes.

I would much rather Peter Schiff hold the office.
Don't apply to only software companies. Get in at the ground, talk to higher ups immediately. Find out if they have some repetitive work and if you can save them time, then write them a script. They'll be hooked. If it's a small enough company, soon you'll be managing their entire software infrastructure. 2/2 with this approach.
Ahh, the very definition of isomorphism :)

Sounds like Infineon may owe someone a new satellite soon. At least if it can be shown that they sent NASA bad parts and didn't notify them in time to prevent this failure.
I have actually always had the same feeling about 1 pointers, but in this case you're talking about a collection of small tasks that make up a larger feature.

The larger feature probably couldn't have been implemented during the estimation process, but a single isolated small task could have.

Flaming bags of dog poo are also delivered while enjoying the act of giving. Anticipating the recipient's positive response is part what makes something a gift.

But you're right in a practical sense in that if you're not willing to take some punches for the work you did and gave away for free, you probably shouldn't do that on the internet.
Can you explain in more detail how forgetting to change (8,8) to (14,16) resulted in an infinite level?
” easier communication with teammates" for some people this is true.
For this reason, I’ve seen it recommended in various language learning guides to use Anki in a manner that’s complementary to consumption of media in the target language. The general idea is to do Anki-only for the earliest bootstrapping stages (super basic vocab) and switch to media+Anki as early as possible.

The media gives both context and real experience with the language while Anki serves to commit the words you’ve read/heard (even those not used quite as commonly) to memory. I’ve only just dipped my toe into this method but have seen many reports of success with it from others.
You don't need all of the javascript for all websites. In my experience, I enable javascript to load from probably 10-20% of domains (using noscript).
Sorry, I was talking about scientific writing, where you have to be able to produce PDF artefacts.

Writing in markdown and converting to .tex is actually a quite popular way of doing that these days.
This reads like it should have been a recall. But that's hard to tell unless I knew exactly the specifics of the issue.

Did NASA assume these were rated higher then they were? Did Infineon make a mistake in documentation, or did they straight up not test them or test them incorrectly.
How revolting. Nothing in what was described in your updated link below looks even remotely novel even years before the 2016 filing date.

I say this as someone who was deeply involved in the industry in the late 2000s. I also contributed to Anki in that time frame.
Zig has a built-in test-case reduction command ("zig reduce").
I actually did learn how to run before I learned how to walk. It caused my parents all sorts of stress. I guess, though, there’s room to quibble about where controlled falling forward is really running.

Anyway, it seems like a shame that there’s a problem solving strategy beyond fundamentals for competitive math. What makes the puzzles in the game different from the sort of typical math somebody in STEM might do?
I don't think it's so bad, but if I had to guess, it's from the division / breakdown of sections and lists, which reads a lot like the formulaic approach you get from an LLM (which is not necessarily bad, just common in the output). E.g. "Docker and Docker Compose can simplify the process of installing and managing services. They allow you to:" etc etc. This may sound like an LLM covering all its bases rather than a human explaining subject matter.

That's just my take, again I don't think it's that bad. The article would be a useful breakdown for beginners.

(Also, I'm sure you know, LLM content sounds that way because the LLM was trained on content just like this, so it's not really surprising that a guide generated by an LLM would sound like the kind of guide that was used to train an LLM...)
Sure. There is no magic source of free money.

My point was that, even if there were a magic source of free money for the UBI, "don't give money to the rich" would still be implemented in the most simple way as "do give money to the rich, then get it back".

This leads to an interesting phenomenon that increases tracking in some poorly designed browsers, despite the wishes of both site owners and visitors.

Sites will end up using this, and some site owners will also install privacy compliance solutions to regulate these trackers in accordance with user rights and consent. Misguided browsers such as Brave bluntly block some privacy compliance solutions, resulting in an increase in unconsensual tracking from first-party-fronted trackers.

I've always thought about just making a chat client app using email as the underlying standard. Strip out CSS and signatures (and funnel spam/marketing to a separate UI) and bam, you have possibly the most widely-interoperable chat client ever made.

The ostensible "problem" with this would probably be "email is too slow for real-time chat!" But really, how much difference does a few seconds make? And modern connections/tech make me think that idea might have to be reevaluated anyways.

It wouldn't be a business but I could see such an app becoming quite popular.
I've seen studies that show that the optimal learning rate occurs when you are 70-75% likely to succeed in a challenge. If it is much easier you tend to downgrade your effort, which leads to learning to half ass at worst, and slow learning at best. If it is much harder the stress of the challenge actually inhibits learning. The exact optimum is thought to be person dependent as a lot has to do with how you respond to challenges, but for the average person 70% effort is the sweet spot.
I read that as “party pooper” - I want that as a reaction emoji.
