There still is, as far as I can tell. Whenever my curiosity drives me to take a psychology or philosophy class I end up with the feeling that they think part of their job is to reassure the rest of the humans that we are in fact special. It feels like some kind of leftover from when that kind of work was done by monks.
We are now several generations in on telling people the way to get a good job is to get a college degree. So everybody is there to get the piece of paper, not to actually learn things they are interested in.
The word 'amateur' originates from the Latin word for 'lover'.
I agree. I think the LSP makes it essentially impossible to subclass a concrete superclass, because the subclass must retain all the observable behaviour of the superclass. If it does so then what's the point? On the other hand, implementing an interface is fine. Different implementations of the interface can just uphold the interface invariants without needing any relationship to each other.
There is also Godzilla Voxel Wars, which is pretty much the same gameplay as Into the Breach, if you prefer that theme. Both games are good.

Use AI to interview students. A conversation is more informative than a static written essay. With LLMs this is now starting to become a possibility. Turn the tables!
Not only that, some things like monitoring you get for free on cloud providers and setting up your own HA stack is going to be significantly more expensive.

There's almost no testing and validation needed for something like AWS RDS Postgres backups. Occasionally you store an instance and that's it.

Other things like Postgres out-of-disk-space is a 10 min fix on AWS to increment the assigned space. If your VM provider is offering SAN/NAS you may be in luck, otherwise hopefully you have a balast file or some logs you can delete to free enough space to get things running long enough to fix the problem.
Up until recently support responded to tickets of people asking why they couldn't sign up telling them they were forbidden to join. So it was at least semi-official and allowed as a reason for closing support tickets.

Potentially, depending on where you are interviewing. I didn't write off anyone with multiple short tenures when I did hiring earlier this year but it was a red flag that I addressed in the first interview.
This is more or less easy to see depending on the video you watch. Here's a good one that demonstrates it very clearly.

I completely agree, but the entire higher ed system is moving to on-line instruction.

Basically, if the University of <xyz> follows your suggestion, all of the competing institutions will eat their lunch by offering on-line courses with the "convenience" of on-line assessments" and the University of <xyz> will lose enrollment.

How does that help? I don't want a list of IPs, I want to reach my devices by name (which DHCP makes easy).

They are not useful, as you can't depend on them.
I don't think GP's comparison is as silly as you think. People thinking about "money" take many different numbers, from a shitload of source, into account.

There's a relation between P/E and future actual revenues of a company.

Imagine that a similar comparison would imply that it's projected that in a few years NVidia's revenues shall represent 10% of the US's GDP: do we really believe that's going to happen?

The Mag 7 + Broadcom have a market cap that is now 60% of the US's GDP. I know you think it's silly but... Doesn't that say something about the expect revenues of these companies in a few years?

Do we really think the Mag 7 + Broadcom (just an example) are really to represent the % of the actual US's GDP that that implies?

Just to be clear: I'm not saying it implies the percentage of the US GDP of these 8 companies alone is going to be 60% but there is a relation between the P/E of a company and its expected revenues. And revenues of companies do participate in the GDP computation.

I don't think it's as silly as several here think.

I also don't think GP should be downvoted: if we disagree, we can discuss it.
I think you have your statistical inference backwards.

> By that same logic you can conclude that eating food leads to becoming one of the greats, because they all ate food.

No your logic is wrong. The data you have is that "All people who are successful eat food." That does not imply that "If you eat food, you will be successful."

But it does imply "If you do not eat food, you will not be successful." And that's certainly a true fact. Starving to death and being dead is not a viable path to success, or at least not any kind of success you will be around to experience.

If you see that all people in category X have a certain property Y, that's good data that you'll need to have Y before you can be an X. But it does not imply that having Y will make you an X. It's a necessary but not sufficient condition.

To the original point, it seems that nearly all successful people have to make some difficult sacrifices to get there. So, yes, you probably will also have to make difficult sacrifices to be successful. But even so, that's no guarantee of success. It's just that not making any sacrifices is a guarantee of not being successful.

I'm ignoring, of course, that "success" is highly subjective and individually determined. But certainly when it comes to marathon runners, you won't find any successful ones that didn't have to make real sacrifices to get there. Long distance running is hard.

How would copyright law apply here? Would this fall into the public domain immediately? I read that Irish law is that it would be "70 years from date first made available to the public". Since published in a newspaper, I would assume this would be public domain now. Correct?
> My personal take, we’ve made the cost of failure to high and cheating too easy.
This is so true. I was recently pondering about the impact of AI cheating in Africa and came up with the conclusion that it won't be as significant as in EU/US precisely because most evaluations in African countries are in person
https://www.lycee.ai/blog/can-africa-leapfrog-its-way-to-ai-...
Your take reminds me of Goodhart's law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure". Same is true with GPA and all. But I am pessimistic about seing that change in the medium to long term because it is so politically sensitive.
Also—how accurately do those satellites track their own position? Unlike the high-orbit GNSS constellations, LEO satellites would bounce around a bit from orbit to orbit, as they're relatively close to the earth and sensitive to uneven distributions of mass. I don't know the exact magnitudes, but I understand they're large by GNSS standards.
You just need to break it down into theoretical and application. They need both. You need to allow the passive consumption of the material in variety. That way one can watch the video, another might read the passage, and some might do both. Then there needs to be an open-ended opportunity to apply their theoretical understanding with enough creative leeway to attach it something meaningful to their personal experience. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if its AI, another kid, online answers, or even just rote memorization. You won't be "teaching" them anything other how to be a subservient lower class feed bag for the upper middle to high class capitalists. You also have to give more than two shits about students than you do concerning monetizing and selling edu tech software.

> I accidentally got Zed to parse way more code than I intended last night and it cost close to $2 on the anthropic API

Is that one API call or some out of control process slinging 100s of requests?

Must have been a ton of data, as their most expensive model (Opus) seems to $15 per million input tokens. I guess if you just set it to use an entire project as the input, you'll hit 1m input tokens quickly.
Could you give examples?

One, the most obvious, is actually having distributed net and serving content from your own machine and in the ancient times like 15 years ago Opera tried that by bundling sort of local http-server (?!, can't even remember the name of the project…) but it floped... I'm not sure that ipv4 was the issue or rather the fact that people don't usually have or want their machine work 24/7...

for calls we have to rely on STUN/TURN but than again some consider this a feature as it hides external IP... which with ipv6 would be even more privacy invading?
Landing on the grid fins would be a really bad idea. Even though they're car-sized, they're not load bearing and "only" made of steel (not titanium etc. .. just yet).

Hi folks! Love reading all the feedback. I originally released Morsle on April 1, 2023 as sort of a joke, but I’m glad that folks are still enjoying it.

The original idea was to make it more accessible to non-hams, which is why it has no Farnsworth spacing, visual aids, alphabetic keyboard, etc., but over time it’s become clear that really it’s just hams that are playing. So I should probably add more settings and proper training modes.

Thanks for playing!
It is significant because of the other chart that shows MUCH lower non-response rates for GPT-4o.
> Wait what? Why is a headlight influenced by a turn signal

All cars with "Daylight Running Lights" (housed in the headlight assembly) turn them off for that side when the turn signal is active. I assumed this is to make the turn signal more obvious (as the change in brightness is more prominent).
As someone who hasn’t used Rust, I found your comment very helpful for understand the advantages compared to how JS does parallelism.
I was involved in K-12 math education for a few years and there's absolutely a pressure to make things easy for kids. When certain parents see Johnny scored poorly on a test, guess what they do? They start a conversation with the teacher and administration. Johnny needs to pass, or maybe even succeed, and it's the education that has to change around him. It creates more work. Teaching already isn't a traditional 9-5. Grading homework can consume hours outside of normal working time. Meanwhile, I can count on one hand how many times I needed to put in overtime at my office job.

If the school has a tuition, then there's even more of a conflict of interest. I've had parents/admins imply that we might be losing a student due to poor grades.
Why? Old texts would be out of copyright, and even if they weren't, as long as you're not publishing the source material or anything containing the source material (or anything that can verbatim output the source), it seems you'd be in the clear.
>That's absolutely not the C/C++ philosophy

while it is not explicitly written out like this anymore, the standard charter used to say

> Trust the programmer.

> Don't prevent the programmer from doing what needs to be done.

for 30 something years, which sounds similar to what the other poster said.

The current charter[1] only says "Allow programming freedom" which I'd still interpret to mean something similar.

Memory safety is something which can be solved though, which is what memory safe languages do. Of course, Rust is only an incremental improvement because of unsafe.
Yeah, influenza type B 'Yamagata' has been mostly gone since 2020, but that's not necessarily because of COVID, but just because the virus is so variable. In fact, it's highly unlikely for an influenza sub-type to hang around for more than 18 months.

In Europe, for 2024/2025, types A 'Victoria' and 'Thailand' (with type-B 'Victoria' and 'Yamagata' following closely, so you can see it's still there-ish) are expected to be the most virulent. but, as always with influenza, this might be wrong, which means vaccination might be slightly less effective, although still beneficial.

Thirty-plus years into my career, I do not remember this fabled past age of the author's idealistic description, when "senior software engineer" was a badge of some achievement greater than no longer being a junior; I myself gained that august title when I was all of 23 years old, having begun full-time work a couple of years earlier than most. I hardly think anyone would have described me at that time in the superlative terms the author uses for his preferred "senior"; indeed, I've met few people at any level of experience worthy of such fulsome praise.

Instead of getting into the weeds about what titles ought to mean, or embarking on this quixotic effort toward persuading people to harmonize them, I have found it much easier to just ignore them altogether.

I have an issue with this study. It reads as though the cognitive activity they did throughout the training period is the same as the cognitive test used at the beginning and the end for measurement.

Wouldn’t a person doing the same test for several weeks perform better than a person who experienced the test once? Are we sure they just didn’t get better at the test at the end by practicing vs actually improving cognitive performance that would help them other than taking these specific tests (psychomotor vigilance and stroop).

A dog makes it much easier to find the motivation to walk. Mine needs about 5 miles of walks a day; after a few months of building up to that I feel pretty good each day. I still suffer from back pain and sciatica and other crap, but it feels like I have more capacity to cope with things nowadays (as compared to how shitty I felt in the year between our previous dog passing and adopting our current dog)

Moving also helps digestion, fresh air is great, vitamin D from sunlight on skin does wonders for you, and you can turn over work problems as you walk.

When I worked in the Renaissance Centre in Detroit, I used the many flights of stairs (39 floors in the outer towers) in addition to walking. Walking is great, but those stairs really got the blood pumping and muscles working. I never did stay long enough to train up enough to tackle the central tower's 73 flights of stairs. I think some firefighters ascend the central tower in full protective gear as a commemoration of the world trade centre attacks.
Right? They land fighter jets on carriers with a light signal that projects out from the ship at a particular angle. It seems very easy to do something like this with some form of electromagnetic radiation. Or have some way for the tower to detect the exact position and communicate with the rocket.

I understand engineering is complicated but this honestly seems like the easiest part of the problem to solve.

It's more likely that SpaceX determined they didn't need super tight tolerances and called it a day.
And what, we are just supposed to trust that they're actually archiving these things instead of relaxing on a beach somewhere pretending they are? If they were to only focus on archiving, nobody would know if anything has actually been archived for nearly 100 years; after we are all dead.

By making the archive public, sure, we have a bit of a "piracy" issue. However, we can also verify they are actually archiving the things they say they are, point out mistakes, and ask them to remove things from the archive.
For a human who deals with student work or reads job applications spotting AI generated work quickly becomes trivially easy.

The claim was scoped to the organizations that made the claim: Mozilla, Google, and Microsoft independently claimed that around 70% of their security issues were memory safety related, not that every CVE ever filed was that weighted towards one vulnerability class.
The only asset from the telcom bubble that was still valuable was fiber in the ground. All the endpoints were obsolete and had to be replaced within a few years. The fiber could be reused and installing it was expensive, so that was the main asset.

What asset from the AI bubble will still be valuable 5 years later? Probably not any warehouses full of 5 year old GPUs. Maybe nuclear power plants?
I never understood why americans do their exams with multi-option tests. Even if you don't cheat, these tests don't actually test knowledge, just memoization.

For me a proper exam is when you get a topic, spend 30 minutes in a classroom preparing, and then sit down with an examiner to tell him about this topic and answer all the follow-up questions.

We don't do multi-option tests at software interviews, and for a good reason. Why do them in a uni?

>She thought that provided sufficient care were taken to ensure that not only the facts but also the attitudes and assumptions displayed by characters were in accordance with what was known about the context, then a novel could be both fulfilling as literature, and historically illuminating.

As a reader (and sometime writer) of historical fiction, I think this is key. The further one is removed from the historical period the more difficult it can be to create characters that portray those attitudes and assumptions accurately (and, perhaps, the greater the temptation to import modern attitudes and assumptions), but when done well it is truly a delight to read.

Agreed. I think there are enough tools that "explain" a concept. Not enough tools to apply those concepts and test. Good point.

Also agree on giving two hoots about students. This is one of the reasons edtech generally is hard to monetize. If you monetize, you come off looking like making money off kids. If you don't monetize,how do you make the best product. I think the Khan academy approach of a non profit makes the most sense. Commercialization of education through edtech has had disastrous effects atleast in India(ex: Byjus etc)
