I've known people who were going to some of the top private schools in the U.S. who were still paying for weekend math classes because the schools weren't reaching them at their level.

Unfortunately, most educators simply don't seem to care much about high performing students, and they're fine with them not learning anything in the class as long as as the teachers are hitting their goals. I imagine the same attitude is harming the other students as well, but it's especially easier to see with high performing students where their needs are often openly ignored.

Isla discontinued selling in the US. Frog is another UK company that makes cheap and light. Also look at Prevelo or Cleary (slightly heavier). These bikes all hold up well, other than replacing tires and occasionally brake pads.

They also hold value well. I’ve been buying/selling used kids bikes on FB as my kids outgrow them, and so far been averaging about $15/year to keep my kids on primo bikes.

There is no way that a CoW filesystem with parity calculations or striping is gonna beat XFS on multiple disks, specially on high speed NVMe.

The article provides great insight into optimizing ZFS, but using an EBS volume as store (with pretty poor IOPS) and then giving the NVMe as metadata cache only for ZFS feels like cheating. At the very least, metadata for XFS could have been offloaded to the NVMe too. I bet if we store set XFS with metadata and log to a RAMFS it will beat ZFS :)
I've seen a Massachusetts public library with an associated hacker space (sewing machines; 3D printers), and another with a "tool lending library" (including a battery drill, IIRC?). And have read of European libraries with a "be a general community space" vibe. So that seems plausible at least.
Our local schools, like many around the country, spooled up new permanent programs in response to the influx of COVID funding which they always knew to be temporary.

Now that the funding has gone away, they say they have a funding crisis, and will have to cut other things unless they can get the state to "adequately fund" them.
PPTAgent: Agent-Driven Presentation Creation That Learns from the Best
> Why is the option to use the AirPods in “normal” mode being removed?

I'd challenge the idea that off/passive really is the "normal" mode, from the ordinary user's POV or Apple's POV. The headphones just don't sound good in this configuration, with neither the background nor the audio sounding clear. They aren't engineered to give good sound isolation OR good background pass-through without active support, and until this post, I didn't even realize that the active modes use more battery life.

The messaging to users is also unclear. Without understanding how ANC works, what does "off" actually mean? It's not turning off the audio playback, and it's not turning off the background noise. It IS however turning off the (newly-advertised) active features like Loud Sound Reduction, which users would expect to be working whenever they are wearing the headphones (or at minimum, whenever music is playing).

In typical Apple style, it makes perfect sense for "off" to be treated as an advanced feature; the problem is that they already shipped it a long time ago, and then removed it without any explanation.
Tired of manually crafting presentations? Meet PPTAgent, an AI system that dynamically generates slides by learning from existing presentations—no manual annotation required.

Unlike traditional text-to-slide tools, PPTAgent employs a two-phase process inspired by human workflows:
1⃣ Analysis Phase: Discerns patterns and structures from reference presentations.
2⃣ Generation Phase: Produces visually cohesive slides and structured outlines with integrated text and images.

I don’t know where you live, but kids (plural!) assaulting teachers like that would be very unusual. I have a lot of family and friends in elementary education and management. Stories like that are the kind of thing that get talked about for years if they happen, not something that happens enough to be referred to in the plural.
In a world where we live to work, yes. Not everyone can be a whistleblower

I think you trivialize the benefit of avoiding early-life-damaging activities like alcohol (one in six to one in ten drinkers become problem drinkers, destroying lives, drunk driving), drugs (visit an NA meeting or walk down certain streets in San Francisco), and early unwanted pregnancies (smashing dreams or leading to the morally challenging road of abortion).

The struggles of single parenthood for both the child-rearing parent and the children of divorce are very real and well-documented, much less the trauma of the actual divorce process. (Why would you wish that on your parents and yourself?) Methinks you trivialize this too.

Keeping you away from illegal drugs meant you had the opportunity to get properly prescribed and managed psychiatric medication instead of the too-common path of self-medicating with the recreational drug-du-jour, with much worse long-term consequences.

You had it good kid — there are millions of Americans who will happily explain why they wish they could have traded places with you. You know the YOLO fad passed so quickly because kids realized the permanent scars left by “experimenting”, especially if there are no rich parents to pick up the pieces.

There is a continuum between “living in a vacuum” (whatever that is) and swimming in human equivalent of sewage. You do have options: get out of the cesspool to pleasanter environments (which very much do exist everywhere…a vacuum analogy is bizarre), stay in the cesspool and try to drain it (noble but often misguided…there’s a new dump everyday), wallow in the cesspool (with various coping strategies), or by wallowing in the cesspool become one more contribution to it.

Often finding an alternative healthy culture is more effective than fixing a dysfunctional one…great truth of the 1970s. People happily cut off “a part of ourselves” all the time. Oncologists, for example, for big bucks and grateful patients. A tumor is a more useful analogy than a vacuum, in my experience.

And there really is no such thing as “culture” at the individual level, but many different shifting subcultures, overlapping, spawning, growing and waning. You pays your money and take your choice.

Yeah I don't think we're going to come closer to a real AGI until we manage to make a model that can actually understand and think. An LLM sounds smart but it just picks the most likely response from the echoes of a billion human voices. I'm sure we'll get there but not with this tech. I'm pretty sure even be OpenAI said this with their 5 steps to AGI, LLMs were only step 1. And probably the part that will do the talking in the final AI but not the thinking.

At the moment people are so wooed by the confidence of current LLMs that they forget that there's all sorts of types of AI models. I think the key is going to be to have them work together, each doing the part they're good at.

This is the problem. It's not just being in the area, it's inhalation/ingestion and direct exposure to radioactive dust. If you look at [https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/Quick%2...], the levels just from increased radiation from a single detonation there are certainly not fatal in a few minutes, but with multiple detonations it's not difficult to get a lethal dose in a few or hours or a day or two. Couple that with the inhalation/contamination issue, and yeah, be afraid.

If I saw that sign I'd be a hell of a lot more concerned than "oh, miniscule cancer risk later in life, meh, I guess I'll just slowboat this one".

Show HN: Open-Source Document Extraction Tool
Hi, I'm building an open-source self-hostable document extraction tool powered by LLM.

There are popular data extraction tools and OCR tools in the market. None of them are open source.

Most accounting firms, law firms, insurance, back office, and real-estate folks would like to use a tool like this.

You can add PDF documents, Images, and audio files and create columns to answer questions on documents or extract information into tabular format.

Access to repo: https://github.com/harishdeivanayagam/rowfill
Screenshots: https://github.com/harishdeivanayagam/rowfill/tree/master/sc...

Sample use-case: You can upload your invoices or receipts, create custom columns, and click Start Run. The data would be automatically extracted.

I don't care, I'm making a narrow point about the applicability of the First Amendment to private businesses. The most important part of that point is that while stories like this are what make the news, every major social network every day filters all sorts of crazy shit that nobody wants to see (if they did, Gab would have been a success), all of which has the exact same (nonexistant) free speech implications.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned, but I when I was a kid I had a bike with training wheels, and when I learned to pedal fast enough, my grandpa just started to bend the holders of the "training wheels" a little bit upwards, so that they wouldn't be even with the two main wheels, and the bike would slant a little bit either right or left.

Riding a skewed bike was very annoying for me, and I learnt to keep the balance in a couple of days.
Excel Picture Tools – Turn URLs into Pictures in Excel Cells
Hi HN friends,
I found a cool tool that helps with Excel stuff. If you have lots of picture links and want to put them in Excel cells, this tool is good.
Excel Picture Tools is a thing on the internet. It can change URLs into pictures in Excel cells. It's like magic! You just give it your Excel file with URLs, and it puts pictures in the cells for you.
This tool has some neat tricks:
It makes pictures fit in the cells just right, not too big or small.
It can do lots of cells at once, super fast.
It knows which cells have picture links, so you don't have to tell it.
There's a free one and a paid one. The free one is okay for small things. The paid one is for big jobs and gives you more help.
I tried it, and it's really good for saving time when you have lots of pictures. If you need this kind of help, you should try it too.
I'm just going to use LLMs to write them, because they're exactly the kind of B.S. work that I hate, and LLMs are great at generating B.S.

I do get the theoretical annoyance of how it’s technically not reproducible, but in practice most containers are pulled and not built from scratch. If you’re really concerned about that apt-get then besides a container registry you’re going to host a private package repository too, or install a versioned tarball from a public URL, but check the hash of whatever you’re downloading and put that hash in the dockerfile.

So in practice.. if the build described in the dockerfile breaks, you notice when you’re changing / extending the dockerfile.. which is the time and place where you’d expect to need to know. My guess is that most people complaining about deterministic builds for containers are not using registries for storing images, and are not deploying to platforms like k8s. If your process is, say, shipping dockerfiles to EC2 and building them in situ with “compose up” or something, then of course it won’t be very deterministic and you’re at the mercy of many more network failures, etc
I assume you're a lot more familiar than me with South Korea and the US to make sweeping statements like this one.

I honestly can't tell whether the South Korean president being arrested is something that furthers democracy or doesn't, what role the president fulfills in that democracy etc. I'm not going to jump to conclusions until I've spent a lot more time learning about the topic (which I'm unlikely to do because it's really not super important for me).

The reason scientists do peer review is captured well by the Mike Tyson quote, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face,” which we can rephrase as, "Everyone has a theory until they undergo peer review."

The point is that your theory is almost certainly wrong, but you won't find out how wrong it is unless you describe it in enough detail for others to check it.
Here in this country it's not teachers that assess their own compentence to be educators, it's their mentors that guide and grade them through a university Bachelor of Education Course and their first year trials of "live" teaching in the wild.

In Javascript, NaN (not a number) is a number:

>> typeof NaN
<- "number"

Let's see then:

>> (NaN % 2) == 0
<- false

So clearly NaN is odd. /s

(And if you're thinking "you gotta equals harder":

>> (NaN % 2) === 0
<- false

Nope, still odd.

Both of the infinities are also odd by the same logic, too, if you were curious.

null and false are even. true is odd. [] is even, [0] is even, [1] is odd.)
And with the right kind of engineering, that could be automated too.

I don't think the results would be as good as they are now - Vedal is bringing his own perspective into it - but once you have a proof of concept, you can improve it.

As a voting officer for the last dozen years or so, I find these theoretical discussions interesting. However, like Euclid tacitly asserting a plane, they are all predicated upon an assertion: informed voters.

Broadly enfranchising the populous makes sense. They are paying customers. But I see them coming into a polling place with a partisan sample ballot from the party folks outside all the time, (presumably) copying the markings over to their ballot.

Thus, as a practical matter, the empirical difference between first-past-the-pole and Borda or RCV may well prove scant.

Quite to the contrary: while the ballot in my county is printed in four languages, occasional voters are coming at it for the first time, and undervoting the ballot because the second column eludes them.

In conclusion, for all its trivially demonstrated faults, first-past-the-pole has the virtue of bloody-minded simplicity, and that is not inappropriate for the task.
My point here is merely to make sure that people do not come away from this thread thinking that Erlang has, well, anything like this at all.

I feel like there should be a different word for those that "home school" their child by hiring a private teacher and they learn in the house. For me, homeschooling means one of the parents (often the mother) teaches the child(ren) in their home.

I know many teachers, and they have a very specific set of skills on how to teach. I wouldn't expect any old parent to know this and I suspect home school kids are worse off for it? But I'm happy to be pointed to evidence on the contrary.
