You said

> I wouldn't commit a kid who struggles with math in 3rd grade to a life in the trades.

Which has a lot of implications:

1. That someone who is bad at math has to go into the trades, ignoring that many trades require quite a bit of math and that plenty of college degree programs hardly require any math at all
2. That kids are being told in 3rd grade that they have to go into the trades based on math scores, as if that is some sort of "punishment". I know you said that you used the word "commit" to be neutral, but it is less than neutral when used in comparison to the unspoken alternative of non-trade jobs which are silently implied (in the very least through the American cultural lens) to be "better".

Also you didn't reply to the actual meat of my comment:

1. Schools have cut funding to gifted programs, denying resources to students who need them
2. The same students can be gifted in one area and behind in another, meaning resourcing isn't some binary "lift these students up and put these students down" decision.

Also I'd add that gifted programs typically require very little additional funding, if any. In a large district a gifted program just takes a bunch of students out of other classrooms and puts them into a classroom together. There is no additional cost for teachers, it is just a shuffling of what classroom students are in.

This means aside from the incremental cost of bussing students to a school with a gifted program classroom, there isn't even a resourcing issue for gifted programs!

The choice isn't "gifted programs or remedial education programs". That entire narrative is not based in reality and it only exists to cause arguments between different advocacy groups.

I understand your frustration, but how does the software manage students that are behind versus students that are way ahead?
Like I'd imagine this would be deeper learning for a kid that's ahead, where they can really deep-dive a topic and maybe do some more advanced concepts.

But I can understand it from the teacher's perspective too; They have 30 kids, no extra budget and few resources. They have 20 or so average kids, and a handful of stragglers and a handful of people out in front, and are trying to meet ALL of their needs. Any of those three groups could use up all the time on a specific topic, so you end up stealing some time from one to deal with the others. If there are good monitoring from EdTech software it can help, but lots of teachers are not super techie so things have to be approachable.

It's definitely a space with more nuance and certainly more potential.
Out of curiosity, are all courts in the US required to publish transcripts or videos? It would be interesting to have bots processing those feeds to keep tabs on what is going on.
But that kind of data leads to dev-centric practices like A/B testing that's just being used to confirm their own assumptions and is tailored towards their own goals, not the users'.

Asking the users what they like and why is much more useful.
That's not a rumour, there were several peace talks already, it was all over the news at the time but people seem to always forget every time.

Social contract theory is not the basis of political philosophy, it is one response to the problem of political authority. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_authority

If you look at the criticisms section of your linked page, you'll also see why social contract theory is more popular in high-school than it is with actual philosophers (most of whom think it's wrong).
I think you're really underestimating Western European corruption. This might have been true in the early days after the end of the cold war and might still be true in non-EU Eastern Europe since Soviet bureaucracy was even more unaccountable than the West's, but within the EU we're quickly converging.
Ok, but please don't fulminate in HN comments. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
I don't understand why we want to use some language feature like loops, instead of using conditional gotos explicitly.

Sure, we can do the same thing with the goto... but why would we want to use the more difficult/annoying alternative when the convenient one exists?
Late in law school, I ended up writing a study guide for a multi-day Constitutional Law seminar for non-lawyers, and found that unpacking all of the legal turns of phrase and items that would carry huge implications when read by lawyers took between 3x and 15x the space of whatever segment I was unpacking, with an average around 7.5x-8x. And according to feedback that still ended up being a bit dense for most readers. Worst volunteer gig I've ever agreed to!
I'm in that club too. I don't see an immediate negative. I just don't want my data collected.

> That is a strawman. There are huge numbers of websites (including authoritative ones like governments and universities) and a lot of content.

Ya know... a search engine that was limited to *.gov, *.edu and country equivalents (*.ac.uk, etc) would actually be pretty useful. Ok, I know you can do something like it with site: modifiers in the search, but if you know from the beginning you're never going to search the commercial internet you can bake that assumption into the design of your search engine in interesting ways.

And the spam problem goes away.

Hmm.

Well, apparently it has ended up being true.

I was thinking in a different direction. Maybe we can fingerprint the turns or other jerks/shakes along a route. Accelerometer Shazam.
> Before rewriting the whole thing, are you SURE that you can't make that thing faster?

Hear hear! This is _very_ often true.

You can profile your database from the command line, looking for query optimizations. Usually, adding some indexes and removing "useless" joins does the trick. Maybe you can convert schema to take advantage of specific optimizations? Maybe if you're storing blobs you can move those to the file system?

You can check network usage in the client, maybe the app is loading things it does not need? Maybe the JS stalls waiting for a CDN request? Maybe images, if any, can be optimized and/or removed?

You can look into the server process list, and check if its hitting the disk too much, if there are any permission issues, if there's enough RAM, whether the database is local or networked (databases can peg your CPU, which can be costly if its on the same machine -- i know its not recommended but I've seen a lot of weird stuff).

> And btw the architecture you propose sounds way too complicated, the 10k-line controllers are more manageable than your microservice proposal.

This is also often true, but a hard pill to swallow.

Good luck!
It's so ham-handed that it reminds me of typical phishing emails, which are supposedly full of misspellings to filter out recipients who notice misspellings and aren't worth the trouble to try to scam.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. I went on Eurostar recently, the experience was quite alarming. The food was terrible, and the tickets very overpriced. The London underground and rail system had many different kinds of weirdos, speaking in strange tongues that would make even the most liberal person in SF blush.

The only exception to this was Japan's transit system. But even then, a bunch of fellow Americans were essentially chimping out, playing music at high volume and screaming obnoxiously. I have to say that I was pretty ashamed of being American that day.
The commenter was talking about cabs and autorickshaws, not food delivery drivers.

Uber and others pay out on a weekly basis. Cabbies would rather have the cash now. And by cash, they mean a direct payment outside the app. Typically this would mean a direct transfer via UPI.
If you want to always drive a car with the parking brake on you can — it's your car — but if a driving instructor sees you doing it, they'll give you a demerit. Because you're massively hobbling the car vs. its design space.

> in order to make them do it the "right way".

To be clear, Apple likely didn't want to force people to always use the mouse that way; what they were likely aiming for was a "silent tutorial" — like the Super Mario Bros 1-1 "goombas hurt you, while mushrooms are something you want" thing.

It's just that, in a hardware product, there's no good way to force someone to do something a certain way the first time (in order to teach them), without forcing them to always do it that way.
This site is the personal blog of a well-regarded reporter that is a primary contributor to SCOTUSBlog: https://www.scotusblog.com/

All these posts are cross-posted there. If I recall correctly the reason for the cross-post setup has to do with conflict-of-interest avoidance since she is married to the owner of SCOTUSBlog. So you’re probably better off reading that site directly than this one.

I've wavered on whether being a generalist/"full stack" person is good or not 10+ years into my career, but I think at this point I'm convinced 90%+ of work is just tying libraries together across presentation boundaries, and you should be able to solve problems end-to-end. It's not that hard, I (and the vast majority of people I imagine) aren't working on anything particularly complicated; drawing domain boundaries seems silly.

Should include a field for how much the person documenting the recipe loves/loved the cook.

Then I can search by "love" field <= 0 and get the best recipes. Because let's face it-- everything with the highest love field is really being documented for the documenter. But if it's zero (or even better, negative), that's likely to be a good recipe.

Imagine: "I hated that guy sooo much, but damned if he didn't make the best potatoes au gratin." That's a recipe I want to try.

Show HN: Rankai – Automated SEO with AI
Hey HN, we are building Rankai (https://www.rankai.ai), an AI agent that pushes SEO blogs and code fixes automatically to your site.

My teammate previously scaled a product to 4M users via organic traffic and SEO. And we understood the importance of driving SEO traffic for small businesses. But after we talked to a lot of small businesses and startups, we realized that majority are not doing SEO at all. For them, learning and doing SEO weekly is too time-consuming, and no way they'd hire an agency for $4k+.

So we tried to automate each step of SEO process in an agentic way using LLM. How it works:
1. Crawl through website pages to understand the business
2. Suggest SEO code fixes based on Google SEO Guide
3. Research target keywords tailored to the business
4. Crafts keyword-optimized SEO content
5. Publishes the code changes and blogs to the website via CMS

Getting the blogs written correctly with the right sources and visuals is the hardest part. And tbh the current version isn't ready to be left on auto-pilot, so we recommend doing human reviews and edits before publishing. There's also an editor for you to guide the AI in the outline process.

We’re still very early and would love to get your feedback!
this is all my opinion and what works for me... sorry if that wasn't explicitly stated at the top
By the time you see a published SCOTUS decision clerks have definitely checked all citations. The problem is that occasionally the source or interpretation is questionable/contentious.
They also have clean and free restrooms. My Japan trip was such a pleasure as I was able to walk ~20km a day without ever stressing about needing to pee. Contrast to most US/EU cities where I burn so much time urgently trying to find a bathroom or else I stop hydrating and feel crappy.

Here's a great example of that: Couche-Tard, the biggest québécois dépanneur chain, is in the process of a hostile takeover of 7-11. That's how much money they have, they can afford to buy the worldwide flagship corner store. This has turned into a nightmare for the Japanese, who don't want to see their beloved 7-11 fall in the hands of grubby westerners.

I read it more or less as hyperbole, but I have seen a lot of people mad over such things as double standards in policing lately.
In the US there just isn't the infrastructure to deal with this. We used to have places people could be committed to against their will so they could get help. The few places like this that are left can't function effectively due to being overloaded and are more like the county jail. Now these people end up homeless or die.

"Being pretty racist" is a preference.

One also might have a preference, entering the workforce, to pay less than 80% income tax into retirement & pension schemes, to support three grandparents who are retired and one great-grandparent who is retired.

The ratios for pension schemes, which some criticize as "ponzi schemes", get extremely bleak extremely fast if every generation is half the size. There is an analogous math problem associated with the national economy, with real estate pricing, with everything.

Which preference do you think is going to prevail?

We have pinned our future hopes on population growth, and we are capable of surviving at population stasis, but rapid population decline from the bottom of the population pyramid demands either fully automated luxury communism (the end of the private sector economy as we know it), or replacing retirement and old age with icebergs to fix the top of the population pyramid.
Ugh, and the range of clarity from judge to judge is another big factor.
Funnily enough, the company that bought out the consumer audio division of Sennheiser some time ago is a manufacturer of hearing aids. (No hearing aid features have manifested in the Momentum True Wireless series thus far.)
I donno which humans you read, but most people I know defecate their thoughts onto a page. Actually good writing takes a lot of effort most people don't do. AI's got a decent baseline.
Humans passively polluted the atmosphere. Perhaps they can passively clean it up as well. Electric cars that spend 10% of their energy on sequestration or something like that. Exchange your CarbonBricks for a discount on useless consumer trinkets.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter whether it's distributed or not, the real meat is that the energy used to sequester carbon needs to not come from carbon fuels. Once that can be scaled up, we can clean up at least some portion of this disaster.
Hard to take a law podcast seriously when it openly broadcasts a political agenda. The image with Trump with a partisan caption, all the partisan logo T's in the merch shop ("abortion is healthcare", "leave trans kids alone you absolute freaks", etc.).

Multi-billi9m industry sure, but it doesnt justify near trillions of spending and hype.

AI is slightly behond search engines/internet in terms of usefulness, and even that was bubble, and the sad thing is we already had a few AI wonters before simply due to the cost of research, if they end up losing money, or worse we end uo in a recession because of AI hype, research and funding are gonna dry up ridiculously fast, which wouod hurt not only AI but most of the tech industry short term.

Well at least the us has recovered enough to absorb that fall, i hope.

This is the very question that crossed my mind when I saw this headline (albeit at a different site): was this a failure of EdTech, or was it a failure of our highly structured and inflexible school system?

This is an issue that started to bother me while in high school, or perhaps even in junior high, and have realized over the years that people learn at different rates, that what should matter is knowledge and mastery and not grades, and that a failure in a class or several shouldn't be permanently incorporated into a "GPA" that also doesn't really capture the true essence of someone's knowledge and mastery.

In the past year, I have been learning a lot about autism and ADHD -- in no small part because I have come to realize I have both -- and I cannot help but come to the conclusion that regardless of why an individual student is different -- whether it be autism, ADHD, life-event-driven depression (eg from a death in the family or a divorce), or high or low or late-blooming intelligence, or even mere boredom that needs to be overcome by the "right spark" -- the school system as currently instituted can handle none of this -- and what's worse, any student who cannot conform to this, even if temporarily, is permanently considered flawed somehow.

And to the best of my knowledge, moving data from a data register to an address register and back did not destroy the top 8 bits.

First, Go Official has never expressed the same opinion as you officially. In fact, the "go run GoSourceFilesWithoutGoDotModFile" command is still supported in 1.22 and latest Go toolchain versions.

One of the nice things that make Bluesky different is that there isn't really a single central algorithm that everyone is forced to use. This combined with the many novel moderations tools like feeds and labellers mean it's pretty trivial to filter out entire categories of spam/botting.

There is some nice information in the appendix, like:

Animal flocking behavior exists from what amounts to economies of scale. Each animal can spend less effort watching their surroundings when there exists a large group with similar motivations.

The benefit of a road network grows with the total size of a road network and can therefore quickly exceed the cost of creating and maintaining it. That’s a surplus which has nothing to do with moving money from individual A to individual B. It’s a surplus derived from scale not the efficiency of construing individual segments of road.
