Schools need to teach everyone basic skills for life in society. Whatever those are. In lower grades that is about the same for everyone, but as you move on schools need to push kids to where they will do well. I took metal shop in school, but I was always on the college track and so this was just a fun class I only took because I have one block that nothing else fit in - for all other kids in that class it was essential to their future life and they knew it.
I will not buy DRMed ebooks. I hate the idea that someone can delete a book I bought. Once I have a book, I want to keep it.

I have quite a lot of books that belong to be grandfather, and lots that belonged to my parents. A lot of those will last another generation, maybe more. That does not happen with ebooks either.
You can do essentially the same thing with Next or Nuxt.js

With Next.js now it is very easy and elegant to load up data from your Django server in a React Server Component. You can also build entire static pages manually from the same API.

Here is an excerpted example from the same simple template I posted in response to an earlier comment - https://github.com/ospira/docker-django-react-example/blob/m...

If doing this as part of a production pipeline you would have to ensure some version of your Django API (hopefully the latest one) is present before deploying the Next.js app, so that the data is available for Next to do things like fully static pages.
almost all of the positive responses on here are from brand new accounts...
I am making an empirical statement. The majority of its actual use in life is to achieve social/political ends, not to improve communication. If you want to say the majority of its use is misuse, fine. But the misuse is intentional.
> You're using the word 'discrimination' in the neutral / identifying-distinction manner of the word. To discriminate ... between red and blue, or hot and cold. In relation to racism, I only see the word 'discrimination' in the negative.

There are people who have been fighting for and supporting remedial racism and sexism programs for no less than fifty years. The causes that DEI (and its predecessor, "social justice") claims to be fighting for aren't new... this is an old and ongoing fight.

The thing is, redefining the abhorrent things that you're doing as not-at-all-abhorrent because one's ingroup is doing them is what loses support from folks who have been fighting for (for many decades) the same thing one's ingroup claims to be fighting for. Moreover, claiming that a subset of those preexisting fighters are -at best- entirely unaware of the plight of whom they fight for or -at worst- actively complicit in creating and sustaining that plight just because the sexual and/or racial characteristics of those fighters generally match those of the Hated Outgroup is how one torches the bridges between one's organization and not only those fighters, but everyone who supports those fighters. [0]

However, it is true that marketing one's organization as doing nothing but good, virtuous, totally-correct things sure is how you amass a ton of "cheerleader" (or "lifestyle")-type participants, and make an assload of money for highly-priced-consultants and folks doing speaking engagements.

If anything, I have to commend the DEI proponents (and their "social justice" predecessors) for the positive developments that their hamfisted and tragically offensive recruiting efforts made possible. Were it not for them alienating folks who had been agitating and fighting for equal treatment and equal rights since before many of the newcomers were in diapers, the "Is fourty-six years long enough to be doing remedial sexism and racism?" question in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard (that you bring up in your commentary) probably wouldn't have been posed.

[0] The really insidious thing about adopting the "This thing that's inherently bad (and that we claim to be fighting to erase) isn't bad when my ingroup does it to members of the outgroup." philosophy is that... well... that's taking the Boot of Oppression and putting it on one's own foot and getting right back to stamping on the faces of your fellow humans. If you're going to use The Boot, own up to it. If you're not going to use The Boot, join the fight to launch it into the goddamn Sun where noone can reach it.
I'm jojoing on this for at least 15 years at this point. I really appreciate the physical experience of real books, the smell, the weight, just as you describe it. At the same time I really despise the storage space they take up, collecting dust, never to be touched again. So I go full digital for a while and read books on my Scribe. I get decision paralysis really quickly because of all the content available at a finger press, but the note taking and accessibility of it all are really nice. But after a while I grow tired of this and buy some hardcover books again and really enjoy that.

This cycle has been repeating for me for a long time, I wonder if I'll find a good balance eventually. My current approach is to try and read more technical stuff digital while keeping novels, the humanities, history as paperback, we'll see.
It's common for shows to use big name actors as voices because they draw an audience, nothing will change. Just means a smaller pool of voice actors and they'll mostly be good looking.
I don't want you to give them the benefit of the doubt. I certainly don't think they deserve it. I do think, however, that a conversation about "overcharging" goes nowhere until people talk about exactly where charging ends and overcharging begins.
Because by and large AI is garbage, and so your product has no future.
Yes! A physical book and ebook bundle would be awesome.
"Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses" – Proton
Yes, for example the FAA requires a failure rate of better than 1 per 100,000 hours for ETOPS over 180 minutes.
No, it's not an empty statement. When your site takes 5 seconds to start loading, even sometimes, or if it sometimes fails to load some image or CSS file completely, many visitors will be unhappy to have to return to it, and a lot will just close the tab without waiting.

The pleonasm is not helpful though.

> Space travel ... value-added human activities

Heavily debatable.

And you're equating to SpaceX dumping debris and trash in addition to their original flight path to a plane's flight path. Those are not equal things.
I find that this is also the easiest way to get your games loaded into the SteamOS interface.

On my homemade NixOS SteamOS-like gaming box, I have it boot into the SteamOS interface, and it's pretty and console-like, and it's nice to be able to quickly install my GOG and Epic games and automatically add it to Steam so it can be easily played with that interface.
I understand your pain, we all seem to make dichotomies where none should exist.

Getting rid of print books is not a prerequisite for carrying your entire library with you. Why not both meme.

Hopefully ebooks will get to the point where they offer a better experience than paper books. But my mind does not handle the information in nearly the same way when using ebooks. I find them wonderfully valuable and productive, but in the same deep introspective way. They are transactional, focused and very task directed.
AI is pretty good at code reviews. For reference I use chatgpt and Gemini. It's very helpful.

An AI tool that could convert large scale changes into a set of small commits would be amazing.
Some day our regulators at the fda, ftc, doj, etc should clean house and get some folks who can actually go after these greedy companies. Today they don’t because of the revolving door system.
In the unit analysis it appears as if it's just kinematic viscosity.

Oh it does!
I am a US Citizen and I 100% want this. I think this is far too small a step; I think all social media should be banned.
I find that happens to me too (getting annoyed), but it's a good reminder to introspect when it happens. Clearly, there's nothing objectively wrong with actually using these words in their new meanings-- they're completely serviceable in their new usages, and clear too. There's some degree to which all people get annoyed with language changing and feel a conservative impulse to put a stop to it, but the annoyance with office jargon in particular seems to go beyond that. The source of our annoyance is thus revealed to be something else. I have a feeling it comes back to, like so many things, status games. Someone using new terminology that was just invented is (probably incidentally) asserting some kind of status one-upsmanship over you, demonstrating in passing they are more familiar with cultural norms. I wonder if my annoyance is actually stemming from insecurity that the other person is exactly right-- I am falling behind in the invisible status games. I can either accept my loss, try to adapt to it by using it myself, or remind myself of how little I really care about these status games.
That not how indices work. It is by person or subject not "idea". You can do the same thing but better with a "ctrl-f" search.
Some people like handwriting notes. I know some that do that on tablets rather than paper though.

I have terrible handwriting so type whenever possible.

The only thing my kids have needed handwriting for (i.e. they did not have the option of typing) has been exams.
not all kids bikes: only bikes with a maximum seat height between 22 and 25 inches (under 22 inches don't require brakes at all).

in practice, this winds up applying to 14" wheel bikes and maybe some 16" wheel bikes.

definitely a silly rule though.
It's not the waters that's important here. It's the debris passing through the flight path.
They can also get some of this from non-school activities, but personally I would want it to happen during those ~7 hours they spend every day in school too. They'll even interact with other kids during class, just in an educational way (I hope).
UnitedHealth is not an insurance company. They own an insurance company as well as OptumRx, a pharmacy benefit manager, which is described at the very top of this article.
I've heard/watched videos on people saying it costs as much to charge an EV at some chargers as it does to fill up an economy car. I feel like the real benefits of EV's are charging at home (especially on off peak hours).
In what world? You've seen who's on stage with Trump, who's donating to Trump, who has the ear of Trump.
Um, literally days after one drone flying idiot took out an actual fire fighting plane?

"Cool"

Are we going to require drone pilots to have insurance that covers all potential damage caused by their actions? if not this seems like another case of letting shitty people be shitty without consequences.
Is "solves" used like that in the wild? Haven't heard that one.
“This is one of the more remote flights humanity operates.” doesn’t mean that either, so what’s your point?
Nowhere did they mention social media :-) but emails and Teams work just fine - though one of my students mentioned they can't initiate chats. I'm sure there's workarounds. I just keep my students off laptops as much as possible.

Blocking games websites is like playing whack-a-mole. Our IT dept took all of our Year 7 and 8 students out two classes at a time, installing software or doing something to block a raft of websites.

They were back playing Retrobowl etc a day later. It was pretty funny.
Gemini is the leading model with the lowest hallucination rate: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-ai-models-with-the-l...

I would expect that number to go down from 1.3% to below 1% over the course of the year.

There's always a chance what you're reading is wrong - due to purposeful deception, negligence, or accident.

Realistically, hardly anything is 100% accurate besides math.
What can the actual experts tell me about my child's reaction to the food dye? One of my children has an adverse reaction to the dyes, my other children do not. What is the expert going to tell me? How does one get access to one of these experts? What about the studies that do show a link between behavior issues and artificial dyes? Are those studies not to be trusted?

Edit: curious about your first sentence: what makes you against unnecessary food additives? Is it a double blind study? If so, can you name it or an expert opinion on the matter that you trust?
Mostly I just review the chat output. But I also use /diff to see actual unified diffs of the last AI change. Or if I have made a sequence of changes, I'll use my normal git tools to diff the entire branch, etc.
Just yesterday the US Senate was holding confirmations for Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. For the last 10 years he's been a co-host on a Fox News show.

I suggest making a substantive argument instead of just posting snark.
I tried this yesterday, asking it to create a simple daily reminder task, which it happily did. Then when the time came and went I simply got a chat that the task failed, with no explanation of why or how it failed. When I asked it why, it hallucinated that I had too many tasks. (I only had the one) So, now I don't know why it failed or how to fix it. Which leads to two related observations:

1) I find it interesting that the LLM rarely seems trained to understand it's own features, or about your account, or how the LLM works. Seems strange that it has no idea about it's own support.

2) Which leads me to the Open AI support docs[0]. It seems pretty telling to me that they use old-school search and not an LLM for its own help docs, right?

They're not just the insurance company - they are also the pharmacy manager who sells the drugs to the patient. So there wasn't really anyone to negotiate with - they pick the price they want to sell the drug for and then how much of it they'll cover.
How many jobs did you apply to? Just trying to gauge whether you’re just being choosy at which jobs to apply to, or whether this market really sucks even for ex-FAANg
> rather than taking their Internet-hard-man bloviation at face value?

I’ve been living in the world for long enough to see it change.

It doesn’t matter what you or I (or an impartial jury) think if law enforcement can just ignore due process. If people cared enough about civil liberties, legislation like the Patriot Act would have at least been repealed instead of extended, things like fraudulent civil forfeiture and the prison industrial complex would have been dealt with. Instead it has become accepted by everyday people that it’s okay to concede those liberties to reduce the burden of evidence for law enforcement in the name of whatever bogeyman the rabble rousers can invoke (e.g., war on drugs, terrorism, illegal immigration, being ‘tough on crime’). The OP article, along with a growing movement of decriminalization represents perhaps a turning of the tide in repealing this legislation, but even if that is true, you’ve got to wonder how we got here in the first place.
This is the path to Enlightenment (17).
So what if a conflict breaks out and the CCP essentially use TikTok as a pathway directly into the brains of millions of Americans. Let's say they tweak the algorithm with a button press to create confusion and public discord when we should be united to protect taiwan.

That's a possible tool of disinformation.
All I know is I had tons in ATVI and all she did was delay us shareholders from getting paid.

I never understood why she chose that deal to make a stand. It was so obvious she would not win.
I've taught several snowboarders how to ride and the teaching process is about putting them in a position where they forget about the distracting things.

Always start them on a blue (or blue-black) slope, because it forces them to learn to use the edge of the board. Lot of easy drills like side slipping and simply turning your head to control direction.

If you start a snow boarder on a green run, it always results in them catching an edge and eventually face planting. Not a fun experience.

Go try to assemble on the White House lawn without an invitation; I'm sure it will work very well for you.
Wow thanks for pointing that out, apparently it's been around for four years since with the first 2.0 release without me noticing.
What does this have to do with anything? How do any of these examples relate to the tiktok ban in the slightest?
PydanticAI now has graph support
Even on slow devices the only problem I have had with PDFs has been when they are rendered using the JS renderer.

The developer of pdf.js replied to my comments on performance somewhere once, and I think it might have been HN, but was quite happy to acknowledge (IIRC) that its not a high performance solution.
How do you respond to people that say the profit motive is what drives innovation, and in the long term we’d rather have better, novel treatments sooner
They literally did not. 500s are still currency, they just stopped printing them.
My wife donated all of her CDs and subsequently started buying the same albums on iTunes. I still don't know why.
Pretty much Insta/X is for genx and millennials, Facebook is for the boomer gen. Tiktok was for zoomers, when i was a teen till like 23 i hated being on the same cringe ass social media platform as my mom. Another teen trait is rebellion.
> The Mac "premium" has been declining for decades.

Ever tried to configure storage on anything Apple? The markup is ridiculous, but on the other side, it blows a lot of the competition out of the water.
I ask hard questions to see how you handle them. One of the most important things you can say in a technical interview is "I don't know". You can't know everything, and how you handle running off the end of your knowledge says a lot.
Physical reading/writing >> Digital reading/writing
UHC double-dips because they own Optum even though Optum is "independent". It's fucking disgusting. How they were allowed to buy Optum and didn't have every regulator in the country on the case is beyond me.

I $truggle to think how $omething like thi$ wa$ allowed to happen.

Bastards.

so when I receive an email it is appended to this mail/uptime.html file.

I don't like it because I wanted it to be just one p for each email, but the object has a whole page, like head, stylesheet, and it's separated from the outside context in some ways, not really sure.
They still have the ability to terminate the accounts of the threat actors using their platform (which would fuck up their scam/spam/malicious campaigns) yet seem to not want to under their guise of "oh its not us".
Dept Transport sues Southwest, fines Frontier for chronically delayed flights
I'm pretty sure this is extremely fast for the nuclear industry.
> we can action on our solve

This causes me physical pain.
Why throw out something hackable? Apparently they couldn't hack TikTok so they thrown them out.
Even if that's true for the actual pharmas, how are insurance companies like UHC innovating? They're just middlemen.
My best history teacher was the gym teacher who was really hired as loophole because they couldn't hire a basketball coach which is what he really was.

Anyway, he didn't give a crap about teaching to the curriculum and he taught us how to think critically and read between the lines of history.
It means that you are not the intended audience because you know too much or too little about UDP.

Once I had a physicist friend freak out over my use of "exponential" to loosely explain something because he instantly began thinking about edge cases and obviously using "logarithmic" would have been more precise. We were not on the same page with the jargon, but then again I guess it requires social skills too so that you can pick where the analogy starts and ends.
When I proposed to my wife, I met her after a couple of years and didn't know at the time if she was seeing someone.
I nudged the conversation towards that topic and once I found out that she isn't, I literally proposed to her in office jargon.
I said, "So if the vacancy is still available, can I apply?". She said yes, and we got married eventually but she still isn't too happy about that proposal line.
I'll have to look at it the next time she complains. It may very well be pdf.js.
> One big reason to pay prisoners appropriately is that otherwise they affect the labor rate for trades that overlap with how prison labor is currently utilized.

Ask tradespeople how much they like competition from prisons or, in Germany, subsidised workplaces for the disabled.
This is so upsetting to hear. The librarians at my school are amazing. The students don't know how good they have it, but us teachers certainly do.
Every single thing in our society has perverse incentives. Every single person who ever sells you something has incentive to sell you as little as possible for as much money as possible. Every single employer has incentive to pay you as little as possible for as much labor as possible. But that's not how things end up happening, because other forces are at play.

People who worked their entire life in an industry and became experts on it, then become regulators for the same industry, have incentives to favor their industry, sure. But who else should be regulating the industry if not the expert in that industry? If you get someone who is not an insider, wouldn't they just fail at regulating, because they have no idea how it works? Also, the people who put someone in that position, isn't there a chain of accountability there? There are many people working side by side with the "evil person trying to enrich themselves". Bad acts come out. Incentives tend to balance each other out. It's not wrong that part of a regulator's job is to find a balance as to not destroy an industry while regulating it.
Lots of people weighed in. The vast majority knew nothing about how kids learn or what is valuable. (this is on both sides of the debate, and there of course has been a lot of advancement in education in the 50-60 years since)
> Do I really need a double blind study to tell me that when one of my kids eats food laced with these dyes, he's crazy for a week, but when he eats candy w/o these dyes, he just is a normal kid with a sugar rush?

TBH this sounds like exactly the kind of things double blind studies are invented for.
My guess is that they’ll just stuff a few daily headlines into the prompt so that queries about current affairs have some context, rather than re-training the model. Total guess obviously.
Jargon is everywhere but office jargon is its own sub genre.

For office jargon, it's maybe not a practical matter, but I could see a friend being a little put off by someone speaking in office jargon to them. Office jargon is sort of impersonal by design
Show HN: A Common Lisp implementation in development
I've been working on this for a couple years.

Implementation of the standard is still not complete, but in my opinion breakpoints and stepping work quite well! Support for loading systems with ASDF is near.

Let me know if you like it! Support on Patreon or Liberapay is much appreciated
The Gemini models themselves may score well on this, but Google's feature implementations are a whole other thing. AI Overviews frequently take untrustworthy search results (like a fan fiction plot outline for Encanto 2) and turn those into confidently incorrect answers. https://simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/29/encanto-2/
