Protest is good, supporting alternatives is better.

Two weeks ago we hosted in Coimbra the first portuguese event dedicated to NOSTR, only 15 people showed up but they travelled north/south of the country to be there.

More people or less people it does not matter, we will raise attention that exist options for using the networks without this constant tracking.

You can also do something too.
Last few days I am testing Rize and it's just timer with dash board that tracks your activity and it help better to focus, so yes it can
Is ESSA foundationally any different from NCLB?
Ridiculous. First you say its not a real problem, then when I point it is, and the far right will win elections on it, you say "its your country!!" Yeah they will be fixed, not in a way that will be pleasant to you.

I didnt invite a single person. The owners of capital did.

This cold, zero empathy attitude is very typical of the "expat" culture.
KISS. Teacher, Whiteboard, and a textbook. (Preferable one the student can keep at home and one in the classroom) EdTech resources are amazing for self-study, but should be divorced from the school system. There will be non-profit (Khan Academy) and for-profit options available for students and parents.

Though I am in favor of any suggestion that makes a teacher’s life easier.

However, I do have the controversial opinion that there should be no calculators allowed at all in K-12. So, I have some anti-tech bias.

+1. Folks pushing for equity haven't read (or too young to have read) "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, and it shows.

Instead of handicapping those who are ahead, we should intervene with those who are falling behind. Instead of enforcing equal outcomes, instead prioritize offering equal opportunity for every student to get the highest quality of education.
The post 9/11 GWOT BS was when they really integrated and formalized all of it and generally ramped it up at all levels.

It's just now tricking down to the everyman. Before it used to be they were going after the MLKs and the commie leaders. Then it was the people who pose smaller threats, infiltrating small extremist groups of all sorts of bents. Now it's trickled down even further to the random individuals who are buying shrooms and glock switches online and then getting harassed by the feds for it.
I only post facts. :D
I hear you.

We built a product specifically for student-centric work where educators could assess student progress (think Hattie's Visible Learning and similar lines of thinking) and compare student growth against their own previous work. We encouraged educators to quickly tailor the tasks to individual student needs.

Educators (and pedagogues) loved it. But we couldn't gain traction with the buyer persona: Administrators asking "what's in it for me?" Data on improved outcomes wouldn't be immediate, so it was a no buy.

This was exacerbated by Google and Microsoft giving away their office productivity suites repackaged as classroom tools to ensure future market capture. Because you totally want your 8-year-old becoming a Word or Docs or Excel expert right?

So yeah, we have a reality where students don't have really great EdTech—they have tech that's masquerading as EdTech, picking up all the low-hanging fruit and leaving the hard problems of education unsolved (or unexplored).

The company is in the process of folding, and I'm hoping to re-release the software as true open source sometime in the future once all the legal / corporate shutdown stuff is finished.
Montessori is more of a brand. People definitely perceive it to be the way you are describing, but really, if there were something old and certain, it would be widely used. On the flip side, there are lots of pedagogical practices that are proven, and this article is trying to show you how they are probably being disrupted by cell phones.
I got downvoted for not taking the hint, I suppose.
From the conclusions:

> I find that AI substantially boosts materials discovery, leading to an increase in patent filing and a rise in downstream product innovation. However, the technology is effective only when paired with sufficiently skilled scientists.

I can see the point here. Today I was exploring the possibility of some new algorithm. I asked Claude to generate some part which is well know (but there are not a lot of examples on the internet) and it hallucinated some function. In spite of being bad, it was sufficiently close to the solution that I could myself "rehallucinate it" from my side, and turn it into a creative solution. Of course, the hallucination would have been useless if I was not already an expert in the field.
> Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies.

Obama deported over 1.18 million people during his term. Trump tried but was not able to deport as much in his first term.

It's not so easy as people think. Half of farm workers are illeagals. 40 percent of construction workers.
15% to 50% of food processing workers. All these businesses send their lobbyists screaming to Trump. Prices increase and citizen unemployment increases.
In some economies, to be an engineer means a chartered engineer, which demands completion of a formal assessment by the national engineering council.

I'm not throwing shade on you, my degree from 1982 was 1 year too early to make certification in my field and I have worked for 42 years in software and systems without charter status.

I am however cautious of using the word. I call myself a computer scientist even when what I do is systems and network engineering.
I wish they'd make it more virtualization friendly. I don't want to run untrustworthy proprietary software on my main system. Common sandboxing mechanisms are insufficient since Steam and its games need access to the entire device tree anyway. Nothing short of a real virtual machine would do it for me. Will also make compatibility painless since I can just install the Linux distribution they support.

I shopped around for computer parts with complete IOMMU support just so I could map the discrete GPU to the virtual machine and achieve near native performance... Only to discover they are exceendingly hostile to users who do this VFIO stuff.

Just yet another reminder not to "buy" games on these platforms, I guess.
No support for Amazon Music is a bummer.
I can almost admire how you manage to think that but that is just ignoring reality. Politicians have created entire media giants that are designed to either lie to you and trigger an emotional response within you. Maybe not out of pure maliciousness but they benefit from doing it.
I agree, but I was talking about the supposed point of the article. This is taken from the first words in the article:

> Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are some steps you can take to evade it.

My point was that if you're an enemy of Trump, that data is already out there. Preventing more from existing is important, sure, but I still think removing what is already out there is even more important. You can change your future behavior; it's impossible to change the past. Best you can hope for is erasing as much of it as possible.
This sounds like the promise vs. reality of Agile software development too :(
> The former is likely to be vastly more predictively accurate than the latter, but explains nothing.

It actually explains quite a bit, most importantly that weather is cyclical with only statistically minor variations around the mode.

This predictive model is also very specific, rather than general. There are plenty of "explanations" that are also not predictive, like that "Thor creates thunder".

Explanations and predictive models that are both general and minimize parameters are better, and they are interchangeable.
Show HN: Cosmic Intelligence – a suite of AI features for the Cosmic CMS
Hey HN,

I’m Tony Spiro founder of Cosmic (YC W19). Cosmic is a headless content management system (CMS). We provide a web dashboard to create content and API tools to deliver content to any website or app.

We just released Cosmic Intelligence, a suite of AI features to help you optimize product development, content editing, and collaboration using the Cosmic CMS.

With Cosmic Intelligence you can:

- Create AI generated text

- Create AI generated images

- Automatically localize content

- Automatically add image alt text

- Use AI to generate content models

- Use AI for development assistance and API chat

- Get insights into media assets including PDFs and spreadsheets

We built this because we are always looking for ways to improve the content creation and delivery process. Using AI features for automation and chat interfaces, we believe content management workflows can be dramatically improved.

One of my favorite features in this release is the ability to communicate with the Cosmic API using AI. This gives developers an AI pair programmer, helping them build with our API and documentation included for reference. You can also upload an image as a reference, enabling you to get assistance with both the content implementation and frontend design.

Cosmic Intelligence is available on all Cosmic accounts, including our free plan. Read more in the announcement here: https://www.cosmicjs.com/blog/introducing-cosmic-intelligenc.... Let me know what you think in the comments.

Thanks,

Tony

I disagree. I see about the same amount of information on the maps in the article in comparison to maps of the war in Ukraine. The maps in the article are certainly prettier, but not more informative.

I think your complaint about the "linear recounting" has more to do with the nature of the war in Ukraine compared to WW2. The battle in Ukraine is almost entirely on land, while in the WW2 maps the majority of the maps are focused on sea lines of communications and air bases. The front lines in Ukraine aren't static by any means, but compared to WW2 these lines are barely moving.

> the decrease in expectation of the readership to have much comprehension or critical thinking facility

> the gutting of the news media as an industry where career professionals could get and keep lifetime experience in understanding important events and their place in history

I think you have certain per-conceived notions and are trying to justify them in these maps, rather than the other way around. I've read old newspaper articles and really don't see any "decrease in expectation of the readership". As for the "gutting of the news media," I think there is some truth their, but I don't think you should denigrate the journalists of today. Recall that Ernie Pyle, perhaps the most famous war correspondents of WW2, before the war was a human interest writer.
nice opportunity
I have not yet, though you're not the first to ask. Some folks have suggested it might be... how do you say... fun? :-)
As I read through these comments I'm reminded of recon techniques commonly used in bug bounties. Reverse proxies, decompiling APKs, parsing JS files to find endpoints, etc. I often went down rabbit holes in the recon phase and never found bugs but I had fun in the process so I considered it a win anyway.

I also implemented a bot mitigation system for a large international company so I got to see techniques used from the other side. Mobile phone farms and traffic from China was the most difficult to mitigate.
I agree in general with what your idea, but this sort of assumes a few things that aren’t always true:

1. Examinee is aware of test prep and its potential benefits. Definitely not always true in low socioeconomic status (SES) families, especially ones with no family members who have been to college.

2. Examinee can afford said test prep courses and/or materials. Library and online are “free” options, but we are back to assuming that the examinee has easy access to a library and/or the internet and knows how to find said materials.

There are many, many students who would do well in college if they had some insight on how to do college. The US has a lot of wasted potential due to our public school focus on bringing up the low achievers to the exclusion of developing those with high achiever potential.

Some private schools and most public schools in “good” neighborhoods have programs and cultures that cater to those with high potential, but these schools only address a relatively small portion of the student population with high potential, imho.
Take a page out of organized crime's book. Do not mention real names, use code words for things, refer to places or events as proxies for other things, never talk over the phone or text if you can do it in person, use intermediaries and dead drops, leave your phone at home. Don't tell any more people than you have to.

But the most useful tip: stay off their radar. If you start using a lot of encrypted solutions for things, attend meetings (that are probably surveilled), go to a protest march, etc you are now on their radar. Maybe you'll decide to do these things anyway, but just keep in mind you're making their job easier.
Neither does any other Kafka protocol implementation, evidently ;)
I guess I agree with you? A mandatory insurance is a socialized solution.

But I think the market for a mandatory insurance can still have mostly capitalist intent. Competition, private ownership of capital, the functioning of a market.

Health care is the harder example. No perfect system exists AFAIK. Although I do believe that the real socialist Or capitalist solutions fail a lot sooner than the somewhat mixed approaches in this world. That’s also why I keep looking for other insurance markets as examples. The easy examples of functioning markets tell us that something can work. The hard problems are left for humans to solve.
Discogs seems to handle it just fine.

I had a similar experience but I dropped out of high school.

For years the social stigma about being a high-school dropout got to me, and I was determined to enter University as an adult student and get my CS degree.

The problem was that I already had steady work as a software developer. And the entire reason I wanted to go to school in the first place was to level up those skills. It didn't help that, in my late teens / early 20s, I was working for a dot-com startup and we had coop students from the local University, and they weren't being taught anything that I didn't already know or understand.

Eventually I came to the opinion that, at least for me (not necessarily for others), formal education institutions amount to little more than institutional child abuse. For hyper-independent and high IQ students, particularly those with aspergers (I've never been diagnosed, but even my mother says it would put my childhood into perspective), class rooms are not a positive experience.

And I can't honestly look back at my time in public school and identify a single subject that I learned in class, as opposed to independently. According to my parents I was literate before entering kindergarten and I taught myself maths and history as an adult because school taught me to hate both (I don't hate either now, but the way they were taught in school divorced them from our day to day lives, created busy work and the impression that what we were being taught was irrelevant and unnecessary).

I tried online learning for a little bit in order to get my GED but I abandoned that as well because it still felt like boring busy work.

EdTech seems like it might offer the solution to younger children with my personality type. But honestly, I personally learn best by reading books, experimenting (hands on learning) and having goals that I actually care about and can relate to. If school had taught us to prepare a tax return, balance a household budget, that history gives us predictive "power" by examining how humans dealt with certain situations historically, if English class focused on effective communication rather than trying to guess at metaphors and hidden messages in the writings of dead authors who can't be asked to comment on that conjecture... maybe I wouldn't have loathed the experience so much and felt like I was just in a prison for children.

In other words, my personal experiences with EdTech has seen these trying to take a standard public school curriculum and package it in a digital "work at your own pace" format. Whereas my issue with school was at least in large part the curriculum itself. The pace was a factor too ... just not the only one by far.
We often tend to forget that humans are visual animals. Our brains have evolved to become good in visual pattern recognition. Hence the importance of leveraging visual tools in your storytelling.

It is so much easier to tell a story with visuals than to have a wall of text. As the saying goes: A picture is worth a thousand words
I think both of those are correct, although they appear to be the paperback, as the hardcover has the front illustration on the inside and is otherwise plain.

The electronic version does feel rather odd, though. It's much harder to open it to a random page and find something interesting (say, a list of refugee scholars who at the time had moved to the US, 561-63), which, for me at least, is the point. I could find the vast majority of the information, if not all of it, elsewhere with little effort, if I was so inclined. It's more in the discovery aspect of it (and the advertisements, which are often absolute gems, although less so than the 1909 edition, which included two awkwardly arranged vertical ads which had large text of 'Rupture' on the left and 'Your Lungs' on the right so it reads as 'Rupture Your Lungs', and also "Dr." Rupert Weils, who claimed to be able to cure cancer at home, using "radiatized fluid", which I think is radioactive water; by 1944 they were much less blatantly wrong or poorly arranged.)

Not really. Equity is a philosophy (of many; none perfect) that describes how to spend money.

Do you spend money (mostly) on bringing kids up to average, and any kid average or above average basically stays where they are, as far as the school's efforts are concerned?

Do you spend equally per child, aiming to uplift each of them by the same amount?

...

Many options. Equity is the first one.
I don't think it's babble, they're reasonably good heuristics if you have little information or time. What part is confusing?

The point of "POSIWID" is that you can look at e.g. a government office that's never denied a request and make a first guess that its purpose is to rubber-stamp documents.
> If I can’t just ship that and get the feedback I need

As a user, I detest when I'm treated as a lab rat and the software I rely on to get stuff done has the UI randomly changing because the people making it don't have anyone in charge with enough design sense to make a call on how the product should function.

Google normalized this practice with the obsessive A/B testing and it's one of the biggest things that pushed me away from Android and general Google services. Microsoft is terrible for it too now. Every piece of software feels like a perpetual beta test.

Individual combatants are rarely noteworthy enough to receive news attention. You do hear news articles when some higher-up is killed.

The deaths of children are more newsworthy, in themselves. You rarely hear their names, just the fact that it happened, because they are not otherwise notable as individuals.

Israel accuses the combatants of hiding among civilians, using them as human shields. If true, it would make the deaths of civilians inevitable. That is why hiding among non-combatants is a war crime.

“Survey evidence
reveals that these gains come at a cost, however, as 82% of scientists report reduced
satisfaction with their work due to decreased creativity and skill underutilization.”

What an interesting finding and not what I was expecting. Is this an issue with the UX/tooling? Could we alleviate this with an interface that still incorporates the joy of problem solving.

I haven’t seen any research that Copilot and similar tools for programmers have a similar reduction in satisfaction. Likely with how much the tools feel like an extension of traditional auto complete, and you still spend a lot of time “programming”. You haven’t abandoned your core skill.

Related: I often find myself disabling copilot when I have a fun problem I want the satisfaction of solving myself.
There are many good reasons to criticize equity.

But one should understand what that term means before doing so.

This seems quite the opposite - promoting mandatory equality (equality of outputs in fact) rather than equity (which would explicitly account for giving students different paces to learn at, and grade accordingly)

I'm not talking about physical things. I'm only talking about our inner world, where the sowing and reaping are connected across time in varying ways according to the designs of creation itself.

That is why I counsel that it is best to just do good as often as possible, but without any connection to reward. Let the universe reward you in its time and place; it knows best, always. Simply send out your deeds' good vibes; they will return. Every time. And, all the while, one's internal peace and happiness will only grow.

Regarding your last paragraph: availability of books doesn't seem to be the bottleneck. San Francisco's public libraries are well funded (~$200 per resident per year). Popular children's books usually have plenty of copies available. The library even gives away brand new books, e.g. whenever there is a street fair or Halloween event ot whatever.

According to state standardized tests administered from grades 3 to 11, half the kids in San Francisco cannot read at grade level. The real proportion may be lower, as these tests are taken only for those who attend government-funded schools.
You mean like `clippy::let_underscore_lock`? I'd like it if there was an annotation for arbitrary types to declare that they behave like a lock so that the lint would pick them up too.
Nonsense. Equity is not to blame. Finland has arguably the most equitable education system in the world and it's ahead of the US.

There are plenty of problems with the US education system -- among them this typically SV $$$-eyed idea that "tech solves everything" -- but investments to raise up the educational standards of low-income or underserved communities is not one of them.
