Any school system is not going to provide any education for him. Just write it off, and take things into your circle of influence. He needs someone to teach him material at his level. Whether it’s a family member, or 2 dedicated hours a day with a tutor.

Now as others have pointed out here intellectual development is only one kind. You may see your son as exempt from certain requirements and activities, when he is really not. If you have dedicated time where his intellectual needs are met you will less tempted to step in and save your son from important life lessons.

It’s difficult to express exactly my experience. I know you are proud and excited for your son. But remember he is only with you for a short time, and being smart and getting degrees and jobs etc is such a small part of having a good life. If you only focus on that part he may have a very hard time and not be able to take advantage of his gifts.
Fwiw, I often post in r/FoodNerds.
Cool, thanks! In another lifetime I had an internship at an embedded software company which was to write tests and optimize compute or throughput for various chips and chip firmware, and reading the functions here sparked some alarm bells in my head. Still a fun idea though and cool graphics.
As someone who lives in the metro area, Seattle proper is honestly 142 square miles surrounded by reality, and terrified of the idea that somehow, somewhere, San Francisco or Portland might be doing a better job of saying and doing all the fashionable progressive things.
The other problem with it is that there are other variables involved besides pure speed, which is CONSISTENCY of speed.

Folks are always surprised to see just how fast Java is able to perform on benchmarks - it has a reputation as such a slow language then how come it's able to execute almost as fast as C++?

But Java's problem isn't execution performance. It's:

* Startup performance. It takes time to instantiate the JVM. That matters for some, not for others.

* Consistent performance. This is the nature of Garbage Collection. It can surprise you when it executes you and drop a performance blip when you least expect it.

Most developers who think they need the fastest performance actually need CONSISTENT performance more than the fastest.
I quite like the chess set inspired by Roombas.
You're not wrong, but I think that the author's goal was not "how do I cut an onion evenly" but rather "how would someone do this if they had only a knife". He was solving a puzzle, not trying to suggest cooking technique.

It does make sense if we're talking about yogurt. The sugary yogurts sold at super markets etc don't have sugar sprinkled on top, but mixed in. Normally, you can't do that.

If you make yogurt the standard way [1] and try to add sugar to it while it's still a fluid, it will all sink to the bottom and then you'll just have some yogurt with a layer of sugar on the bottom. If you add it when it's not a fluid anymore, then you'll have a layer at the top. If you try to mix it up in between you'll break it up [2] and end up with mush; with sugar mixed in.

The only way I can think of to add sugar to yogurt and ensure it is evenly mixed throughout its mass is to use some additive, probably some kind of stabiliser. I suspect that's what makes this kind of yogurt qualify for the ultra-processed category.

Check the ingredients on your favourite yogurt. They should say: milk, yogurt culture. End of transmission. If there's anything else in it, then I would say there's a good claim it's been over-processed.

____________

[1] Bring milk to boil or use UHT. Let cool to 45° C (113° F). Add lactic ferments (Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus - readiest source: yogurt). Keep warm. Do not disturb. Wait. Enjoy. Scales up to industrial level (and is dirt cheap to boot).

[2] That's called syneresis - that's when you put a spoon in and then find a little puddle of milky fluid in its wake a few hours later. You've broken apart the jell'0 like structure of the yogurt's curd, i.e. the coagulated milk solids, and caused the milk fluids to leak out.
I think it's appropriate to be concerned and seek clarification. And I don't like people immediately seeking to vilify Microsoft as if they came over to their house and shot their dog in front of their kids.
Yeah, the random value prevents compile-time pre-calculation and the print makes sure the loops actually get run and values actually get calculated (as modern compilers are wont to simply omit code that clearly doesn't have consequence).

I believe the LLV line was only suppose to be in service for 20 years, but the government gonna government and not find a replacement till it's almost too late. So yes it was a lot of scrounging and probably a lot of USPS mechanics needing to be creative, but the LLV lasted twice as long as it was designed for. I expect this same conversation will happen again in another 40 years.

Who doesn't like engineering productivity improved?

Even if improved by a few percentage points, the cost savings are enormous! Here is what engineering leaders often overlook: how good is the data to support the sale pitch on cost savings?

Spoiler alert: in most cases, it's not nearly good enough.

Here is an example of how these engineering improvements are being sold.

Researches at Stanford, a very serious institution, offer an automated tool to "Measure Your Software Organization’s Engineering " (emphasis is mine RN)

Link: https://lnkd.in/es2qyJJp

The tool gets access to the GitHub repository, and with some metadata about an organization from the user, it evaluates productivity. There is no example report on the tool landing page, so I can't say anything about the results. However, the "Engineering Output" in the call to action on the website is pretty telling.

Stanford is a serious organization (10B operating budget for a year). So they back the tool with a research paper. The paper is "Predicting Expert Evaluations in Software Code Reviews".

If you read it, the paper focuses on automation methods for code reviews (in code commits). It makes reviews predictable and reduces subjectivity in the reviews. It also estimates the time and effort, the complexity, mailability, etc.

In very simple terms, it can produce expert reviews. And since it's automated, the idea for cost reductions is — you guessed it — to measure and act on these metrics.

If you've been around software development, you may already see problems with the approach "lets put this metrics into a feedback loop". The biggest problem is what to measure, and the authors picked the infamous one: "Software Organization's Engineering Output".

Still, tools are tools. They can be useful in the right context.

But with this specific tool and methodology, things got dicey when one of the researchers claimed that "9.5% of software engineers are ghosts," "they do virtually no work," and "their performance is <0.1 of the median engineer."

He even argued that large companies waste on "ghost engineers." Shall they cut 10% dead weight while reaping the benefits of "over 25% of new code written by AI," as Google's CEO said on an earnings call. A win-win, right?

Wrong!

Here is a good quote to use in a "the tool will fix it" situation: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence".

Engineering leads, please do not buy into the metrics. They are meaningless without evidence and context. Look instead into the underlying data and methods. Even hire somebody to do a "peer review".

Questions to ask:

1. Does it have a robust dataset? No. The study looked at 70 commits from 18 authors, in Java language only
2. Does the study justify its conclusions? No, it shows correlations but doesn’t explain the results
3. Does this work in different contexts? Unknown, it focuses on code commits only

"eventually a lot of people would figure out that there's not as much 'there' there as they supposed."

Let's be honest: most of us here know there is more 'there' on the myriad university-press books available free on Anna's Archive, than on HN. The reason we still hang out here is desire for socializing, laziness, or pathological doomscrolling; information density doesn't really factor into our choices.

> I felt that my academic time was utterly wasted in public school

No it wasn't! You learned how to interact with normal people. That's a lifelong skill.

> "You're so well-adjusted", is a frequent refrain.

Sure, some people make it work. I don't think this invalidates the broad observation that private and homeschooled people are frequently socially... off. I myself had a homeschooled kid in our town who transitioned to public school for high school and made a very gregarious time of it. Then again, his parents also had him integrate tightly with athletics for the decade before this over precisely the concern about socialization we're discussing. Perhaps there's a critical time in development when socialization is necessary and there are other venues than public school to remediate this. I'm just saying you can't expect to completely avoid normal people and then slot into them later in life.
but two horses can still win though. One can come in first and the other come in second. That's two wins.
What is your time horizon? We're already at a date where people were saying these jobs would be gone. The people most optimistic about the trajectory of this technology were clearly wrong.

If you tell me AI newscasters will be fully functional in 10 or 15 years, I'll believe it. But that far in the future, I'd also believe news will be totally transformed due to some other technology we aren't thinking about yet.
Why would you use that kind of phraseology, if not to imply something?

The actual first paragraph states:

> This page collects common comments made during reviews of Go code, so that a single detailed explanation can be referred to by shorthands. This is a laundry list of common style issues, not a comprehensive style guide.

The document does not assert that you must not return interfaces or that it is incorrect to return interfaces. It only indicates that returning interfaces at inappropriate times has been a recurring issue found during code review. Sometimes returning an interface truly is the right choice, but when it isn't...

Like most adages in programming, the aforementioned tenet holds validity in many cases, but, as always, "use your noggin" applies.
I understand the sentiment, but you also can’t write off 18 years of development.

The mistake would be assuming public school will be both socially and intellectually fruitful. No man can server two masters. Budget time accordingly.
They aren't/weren't all going to be EVs. Originally the USPS was looking at 10% EVs and 90% internal combustion but there were a bunch of challenges to that (including that ratio being based on incorrect environmental impact data). Now it's 75% EVs in the first order of 60,000 and future orders may be that high or higher (currently expected that it will be all EVs starting in 2026).

iTerm split panes use such intuitive keybinds I find myself changing other software with similar functionality to match, e.g.

split pane vertical: cmd + D

split pane horizontal: cmd + shift + D

focus pane left: cmd + [

focus pane right: cmd + ]

Just gold standard imo. tmux is great software and very useful on remote machines but its keybinds don't come close.

This is great news! The design is interesting though. Why would they choose such a hard angle for the hood and windshield vs something more gentle? Does anybody know why they made that design choice?
I like the extreme boost that PyPy gets here which is most more than you usually get with PyPy, on one hand it shows the potential of PyPy but it is testing just one area where PyPy is strong, other workloads depend on performance that is not well optimized.

My take though is that branchy, old-AI, and heavy code (say keep every fact in a triple store and not as a Python object at the benefit of having an index for every permutation of ?s-?p-?o) that cannot be handled with numpy or similar tools benefits greatly from PyPy, but not 100x.
One benefit of a low hood is that it scoops up pedestrians that might get hit instead of hitting their torsos with the vehicle. It'll probably break your legs, but you are more likely to survive.

This is one of the reasons that SUVs and large trucks are deadly: it's basically hitting you directly in the chest cavity.
The first generic package I ever created in Go was an lru cache implementation. It's cool to see this and compare :)

Already a deal breaker.
my wife has been teaching for about 15 years and i have one kid in HS and one in middle school. Adding money to a bad school makes it worse, we've seen it time and time again. The only time we've ever seen a school stop the downward spiral and turn around is when the neighborhood gentrifies or becomes hip and new people move there, have kids, and get involved and start holding feet to fire via school board and district elections. Even then, it takes a 5-10 years. It's not a question of funding it's a question of administrative competence.
Putting aside the vague hand wavy definition of what "highly processed foods" literally means, my suspicion is that there are two things making processed food worse for you.

I've heard drinking juiced fruits is worse for you than eating the equivalent fruits, as the sugars in the fruit are wrapped in fiber that make the sugars "slow release" into your body, and those are broken down when juiced so the sugars hit you at once. I suspect processed foods "mainline" nutrients in ways that unprocessed foods don't.

Secondly, I think a lot micro-nutrition is ignored when comparing processed food, like the fat, carb, salt, etc is equivalent between potato chips and, say, a baked potato with butter, but there are a lot of small things that our body needs that are not part of that equivalence. At least for me, when I eat potato chips I eat more because they never quite satisfy me. I suspect this is because the micro nutrition is cooked or processed away, so I end up eating more carbs because it's not quite giving me all what I need, just the big macro needs.
I'm not following your hyper focus on first gen Asian kids or the implication that gifted programs are only for Stanford-bound students. My ancestors have been in North America since the 16-1800s, I went to public K12 and university, and I've benefited quite a bit from having parts of my education that weren't a complete joke (I've done much better economically than my parents, for example).

Teaching high-aptitude kids at their level also does not require taking away from the other kids assuming you have enough of them to fill a classroom.
That would work in Java. In C is a bit complicated as you can have pointers with byte granularity. In principle the size of a pointer need not be the same for all types: you can have char, short, int and float pointers be 64 bits and everything else be 32 bits. (void has to be 64 bit as well as you must be able to round trip through it). I suspect that would break 90% of code out there though.

Wow, not sure how I missed this, but I see many similarities. They were also bitten by lack of conditional writes in S3:

> In Databricks service deployments, we use a separate lightweight coordination service to ensure that only one client can add a record with each log ID.

The key difference is that Delta Lake implements MVCC and relies on total ordering of transaction IDs. Something I didn't want to do to avoid forced synchronization points (multiple clients need to fight for IDs). This is certainly a trade-off, because in my case you are forced to read the latest version or retry (but then you get strict serializability), while in Delta Lake you can rely on snapshot isolation, which might give you slightly stale, but consistent data and minimize retries on reads.

It also seems that you can't get transactions across different tables? Another interesting tradeoff.
Because no one has a time machine to go back and change the past.

I mean:

const uint64_t size = // Some large value
uint64_t a[size] = // Some random values
uint64_t b[size] = // Some random values
uint64_t c[size] = {0};

uint64_t i = 0;
while(i < size) {
c[i] = a[i] + b[i];
}

// Disable all optimizations so the above isn't optimized away/vectorized

That's the world's simplest loop with 16 bytes of memory read per loop so even if your core is a piece of crap that averages a single increment and addition per cycle it just needs to run at ~4.3 GHz to still pass the bar anyways. Running this code on my MacBook and my x86 desktop with compiler optimizations off I'm not seeing either fail to reach 64 GB/s.

What do you think the ISPs needed to know? If they had done a comprehensive investigation, it would have shown that Prenda was fully authorized to act on behalf of the copyrights they asserted.

Prenda wanted to conceal from the court that they were the copyright owners and not just hired agents. But that isn't a question of the legitimacy of the copyright assignment. Being threatened by the copyright owner isn't less legitimate than being threatened by a hired agent!

This actually makes sense to me in terms of logical coherence. I understand and support people who follow ethically-motivated diets but the fact is a line is always drawn somewhere. Plants are alive. Why is a carrot’s life less important than a rabbit’s?

I don’t think we’re good at making claims about where particular organisms sit along a gradient of consciousness we can’t even properly define.

I like to imagine other civilizations in the universe might use this basic distinction to evaluate how sophisticated a culture is — do they still needlessly eradicate life for more convenient consumption? Akin to asking, are they still a pre-warp civilization?
