Why would we control PISA scores for US demographics in the first place? Why are the 1st and 2nd generation immigrants removed?

The education system is the same for all the kids, unless US Whites are using a different curriculum from the other demographic groups.

"If we massage this data set the right way, we get the chart we want".
Another thing that kinds of sucks about this whole "license rug-pull" kind of business is that other teams (like ours) who are publishing open-source software/tools are now suspects too.

Folk ask themselves, why contribute to this thing (MIT/GPL licenses) if there some for-profit entity involved?

Folk can't take us at face-value (I'd argue demonstrated value) and level (unfounded) accusations at us; because some other player did things "dirty".

Well, other folk wanted to pay for support/customisation and in USA you make a for-profit entity to do that.
So the corporate part of the open-source project is, nearly, a requirement.

It's not that straightforward, though. US is much better at attracting highly educated and highly productive workers because of considerable higher wages and demand for labour than in Europe. While Europe is more of a fallback options for people who can't do better (I mean relatively of course as proportion of all immigrants).
Integration is a two-way street. I've known many people born in England, France, Germany who feel excluded from education opportunities, workplace opportunities, healthcare and general civil society because of their family origin, cultural background and pure skin colour. Probably also how they speak in the UK. This issue is much less in new world countries (US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand).

Let people into society and they will be part of it. Exclude them and they will form their own societies which you will have far greater issue with.

Edit - some examples - Several in the UK grew up in areas with poor schooling because of where they were born (places cheap enough for immigrants to move to). One who for similar reasons (poor local health service as a child) believes they have avoidable ongoing health issues. Black man im the UK cant flag a cab because they just wont stop for him despite being well dressed in a suit. Turkish-parent German feels pushed into 'workplace training school' (sorry I don't know the term) rather than university because of his background - had to do an extra 2 years of study "just because my parents are from Turkey". French woman of notth african ancestry felt she had to leave the country because she is constantly asked "where are you from" and they won't take "France" as an answer. Common thread is none of these people (all well spoken, well dressed, educated, well mannered) feel they had a chance at being part of mainstream society in their country of birth.
I actually ended up expanding on this a bit in a different comment thread, if you're interested. :) [1]

It's a tough position to be in because the thing that really gets heads turning is regulation, licensing, and fines, but...when it comes to website design (assuming we're not talking about illicit material) I get queasy at the idea of (the/any) government saying, "You're not running your website the right way! Pay us money!" Perhaps the few exceptions being something like: PII storage, or payment processing.

I dread the idea of anyone saying you have to, say, use a specific font type or whatever, you know? I don't want to put that burden on website owners, or complicate my own life.

I'd rather inform the end user, point out the biggest offenders, and leave them be. "Detect, inform, and move on." Big scary message[2] then leave it to the user to decide what they want to do. "Oh, they're going to track me? Let me look up that VPN-thingy I keep hearing my nephew talk about."

My experience does not track with this at all, especially in the context of the very wide brush you're applying it. I was involved in a lot of extracurricular events around math/science in school, and it was not the white kids winning those events. There were some pretty racist comments about it as well which makes it stand out even more in my memory.

For chat, I'd say 70% of the messages are non-sexual in nature. People just want to have someone to talk to during their work day. Not all, but quite a few models have been open about how their chat during the day is AI generated.
If you actually don't understand why that citadel statement said that you should read up on how market makers work. Any given snapshot in time for them would have enormous quantities of securities on both sides because they have to hedge all of their activities to remain neutral to any price movements.

>So when exactly will that $60 billion of buy pressure hit the market?

it probably did shortly after the statement, coupled with a likely similarly sized "sell pressure". They're constantly buying and selling things that's how the business model works

When I was 7, my family's Japanese foreign exchange student was being introduced to me.
She bursted out laughing saying my nick name Dev Dev sounded like "fart fart" or "fat fart".

Had the nickname fart fart until my sister moved out of the house.

Maybe you could confirm, but ChatGPT tells me in Japanese Debu colloquially and offensively means "fat" or "chubby", and Bu is an onomotapoeia for a fart noise, like "prrt" in English.

On that I agree. When I read the manifesto, I thought there were a number of incredibly prescient ideas. Other parts I disagreed with.

I agree that there's a distinction between having an outside opinion about the direction of society, and becoming a terrorist.

It ultimately comes down to if someone truly believes that the ends justify the means.

In my opinion, deontological morality is primarily what prevents terrorism, followed by individual humility and acceptance of fallibility.

Unfortunately, I think utilitarianism and consequentialism are currently in Ascension in the USA.
For a while my son was playing this game

https://krunker.io/

which has rather good trading mechanics in the game (for non-NFT objects) and has a total of 20 or so NFT objects in the game. A handful of players own most of them, for instance there is only one type of watch you can wear in the game and there are only five of those and four of those belong to the same person. My son did see someone wearing a watch.

You can't say the NFT ruined the game for other players but you also can't say it is a success, I wouldn't say that until you have broad participation in ownership and trading.
Yeah people think of advertising as a "free" way to fund things, but companies wouldn't pay the advertisers if they weren't making a profit off of it, so in theory the customers are still paying for the website, but it's only some of them paying for the vast majority that don't pay a dime, and everyone else is just getting irritated by the ads for no benefit to the website.
The problem of distributing access to dangerous things like AI and weapons has been a problem that humans have faced for a few thousand years.

I know nothing about weather, but aren't changes happening gradually instead of overnight? There's no major anomaly that appears all of a sudden. In which case we can assume the every new change will be incorporated in the AI model's training.
Thanks for the explanation. I had a lot of similar questions.
I can’t really be too specific. But I can say that at least one pattern of problem it tackles very effectively is: “we’re migrating from X to Y, and it’s going to touch a ton of files, and the nature of that migration is much more involved than what we can reasonably hope to accomplish with sed and a bash script.”

I agree with most sentiments here except this. Most of what I feel towards colleagues and the ones I look back respecting the most were the ones that had great contributions, either in emergency situations or in the nick of time, or simply good day in and day out. Some of them are considered assholes by the more softly inclined, but I know proper assholes and those weren't it.
What does homeopathy need to move forward? What does perpetual motion machinery need to move forward?

This is not totally fair; it is possible given certain independence assumptions. But they are likely not physically realizable.

It is almost certain that even within our understanding of quantum systems it is simply not possible to have a quantum computer (much less create one). The assumptions necessary to produce a completely uncoupled system are likely invalid; we have yet to produce a compelling experiment to indicate otherwise. [1]

Yotta does not hold any funds themselves. You connect your bank and ach/wire money into an Evolve bank account.

> This depends a lot on context you haven't provided. Most importantly - is this legal?

Whether it is legal or not is irrelevant. You are entering into a conversation about morality. The law does not dictate morality, as much as it can morality dictates the law. The entire point of the person you are replying to is that acts with moral equivalence are treated differently by the law because of the social and economic status of those likely to commit those acts.

A very real example of this from American history is that crack cocaine and powder cocaine had different mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines for charges of simple possession as well as charges of possession with intent to distribute. Both are effectively the same drug, but one version of this drug is more commonly use by poor and non-white people, and the other version used by rich white people, and so we ended up with a gross disparity in the law over exactly morally equivalent acts.

You are not actually engaging with the argument that the person you are replying to is making. Nobody gives a shit what the law says, they care about what is right and what is wrong. Then we mold the law to match.
It targets poor people with expensive items. Wealthy people can explain how they could afford them.
Doesn't Target wealthy people. It targets unexplained wealth. Actually wealthy people will be able to show a bank account statement or say "My father is X" or whatever and get out of it. It is targeting thieves who are running around with stolen goods, but it will actually affect people who have conscientiously saved and flaunt their few pieces of a hard-earned luxury.

In Australia, and I expect most western countries, it’s pointless discussing immigration without acknowledging it is being used as a lever by business to suppress wages and working conditions in the destination country, and that to do so immigrants are arriving under legal conditions that limit their ability to negotiate fair treatment and mean they live without political representation.

The deteriorating social conditions observed are not a consequence of there being more foreigners, but of deliberate policy decisions to make it more difficult for immigrants in some visa categories to prosper and fully participate in society,
a deliberate decision to extract max value from people for minimum reward
It’s insane how hard hovering is. I had about 35 hours of fixed wing time, and treated myself to a helicopter lesson for my birthday.

Hovering was so humbling! You’d be stable for a few seconds and then oops now we’re suddenly crabbing backwards whilst rolling laterally whilst exacerbating everything with pilot-induced oscillations in every conceivable axis of movement.

Having to constantly enter three inputs whenever the external environment changes (ie wind, gust), or any time any one of the three inputs change… it absolutely requires some new neural pathways to be forged!

I flew with Patty Wagstaff many years later and even she admitted hovering was so hard, to the point it looked like she wasn’t going to be able proceed with her rotor license (before it all clicked).
That’s just how meetings in general often work.
What I want is to have a 'pay me for ads' option that links payment info so that I get $ for viewing the ads if enabled or doesn't show the ads if not enabled or the ad service isn't willing to pay up.

It's so new that it has no long term track record. I want to see how its record looks after say 1/3/5 years. Any 15 day forecast is just too far into the future for me to take seriously. Even the 3 day forecast is loose at best. By the time it reaches 7-10 days, some of the forecast is completely off when it reaches the 3 day window.

"But DeepMind said GenCast surpassed the precision of the center's forecasts in more than 97 percent of the 1,320 real-world scenarios from 2019 which they were both tested on."

Great, so it's using historical data to make a prediction about what has already happened. I want to see it on current data where it is truly a prediction with no data to make that prediction.

I'm not convinced the results haven't been juiced/salted

There is room for programs that do not need to be installed. Examples are Flash, Java applets, and Javascript. Personally, I think some sort of UI thing based on WASM might be the way to go, but that's just my opinion. Can you think of any other way to run programs from the internet without installing them? Yes, SSH, telnet, remote access, remote X11, but with all of them, the programs are running on a different computer, whereas with web apps, they're running on your own computer, without costing them money, other than hosting costs.

I never thought I'd be speaking for web apps, but I guess I'm not, not really. What I'm saying, is there is a niche, and that is currently filled by web apps.
