I went to a school that had a lot of good teachers, and I learned a lot from them.

But when it came to bullies, the school was just as you described. Worse, the punishment for being in a fight was the same whether you started it or you were just beaten up. If you made the fight get noticed, you got punished. It was quite clear that they had no interest in stopping the fights, just in making sure they didn't get reported.

And on the bus, the driver didn't like my family because she once turned the bus around on our grass, tearing up a bunch of it, and my father was angry about that. In retaliation, she let bullies beat me up on the bus for years and turned a blind eye.

My education would probably have suffered if I was home schooled because both my parents were forced to work to make enough money to survive. And I'd be even more introverted than I am now.

But man, the bullying was bad.
If you mean the Intel factory, this is delayed by 2 years. If it ever will come..

No, because this is about more than just supporting non-js use cases, it is about the type of design from the ground up and how you structure your application. JS is very welcome on these kind of interfaces, but also really unnecessary for what it actually does. It just adds bells and whistles. Or it should "add", if designed correctly. As another comment pointed out, now it takes more network round trips and uses more ressources. And now it does not work without JS anymore.

A good designed web app works just with plain html and minimal ressource use and than adds on top of that the get even better with css and js niceties. This used to be called progressive enhancement, if the client supports a feature, make your website better for these clients. It's just better and well rounded design with the added bonus of supporting clients with less capabilities.
Time pressure and space requirements are a concern with parking, and also the government built the infrastructure (roads, sidewalks, etc.).

It’s not really a good comparison and doesn’t seem predatory at all.

But also if you consider it predatory then you wouldn’t want to advocate or defend the expansion of the practice into other areas.
That’s sounds like there is more to the story?

> but there is a large financial cost to always being ready for war. The US has spent 80 years being the "policeman of the world" for good or bad.

The US has never gone through the stage of being "ready for war" and instead went for the "living from one war to the next"
I'd suggest you to try with Autocoder. It's easy to use especially for those people who have no idea with coding skills.

You think if say US bombs all the CCP's planes, CCP would sit silently and accept defeat? Same thing happened with Ukraine. NATO couldn't escalate the war at any cost, so they can just play safe and only do things that don't risk escalation.
I know someone who listened Terry Pratchett's "Wachen! Wachen!" audiobook on Spotify while living in Germany for few years. It was so well narrated that he also acquired some peculiarities of local dialects used by specific characters in the book. Locals in Bavaria were quite surprised of a foreigner speaking such language.
Yeah that surprised me as well - seems low vs what is used on text llms . To be fair 100 hours of speaking is a lot of speaking though
Constantly checking upvotes and downvotes is a highly addictive behaviour on social media.
I’m sorry you went through that.

I hope life has been kinder to you following this. :(
Whether school is a net benefit (that can stand to be improved) or a net detriment (a system that needs to be uprooted and upended entirely) depends significantly on that "some significant percentage".

If the percentage is 10% of children suffering through school, that's a horrendous number, but still leaves school as an overall positive experience for the vast majority, even though significant work needs to be put it to fix its problems.

If the percentage is 50% of children suffering, then it's a crapshoot if your child will benefit or be deeply disturbed by school, and the whole system needs to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch.

One anecdotal experience can't help one decide which of these is the right approach. I'd venture a guess that, since most people are not clamoring for fundamental school system reforms, the experience of most voting adults has been largely positive or at least neutral in school.
It’s shameful to not be interested in math and science—that’s like saying you’re not interested in reading. But putting that aside, the other subjects should be educational.

I remember what triggered my mom was us spending an inordinate amount of time making clay models of Native American villages. American kids shouldn’t graduate high school knowing more about the shapes of Native American houses than the conceptual underpinnings and history of their own civilization.
Well there was some hope with ChatGPT that people will go back to being able to process text communication.

The vast bulk of councils in the UK abolished the 11+ system. It does still exist in some places. Unfortunately, the system was ditched by the Labour government of 1976. Our current Labour lot are trying to do the same thing to our private schooling system.
We were also skeptical, but bought a used Puky balance bike [0] for our daughter when she was 1,5. It cost 20 EUR and basically had everything a normal bike has (brakes, added reflectors, bell) and she was able to use it for longer distances (2 km to daycare) very quickly and safely. This was a huge benefit for us, as walking this distance was usually an endless litany of "don't wanna walk, carry me please, take me on your shoulders please, etc", and a 2 year also doesn't really like sitting in a stroller anymore.

When she was 4, we bought her a regular bike. The "learning process" went like this: I told her "it's like your old bike, but with pedals to drive faster". She sat on it, used it like a balance bike for 3 rounds in our driveway, and then started to test the pedals. After literally 5 minutes, I went for a drive with her through our neighborhood.

We were completely flabbergasted. It took both me and my wife 2 long Sunday afternoons with our dads in a large parking space to learn to ride a bike. We both started with training wheels when we were 2.

> you can take as many classes as you'd like per term. You take one class at a time, and many classes can be finished after taking a test and/or completing a project.

Is it all based on self-guided learning? Because I can't see how this system could work with the classic system of bottom-up lectures accompanied by tutorials and exercise classes?

If there's one thing I was surprised when I moved to the UK from Portugal were the number of stories work colleagues told about bullying in school. Although there were fights and stupid games in the schools I went to in Portugal there was never systematic bullying.

> Many commenters on HN have this weird idea that if Taiwan is slightly ahead of competition, US would defend Taiwan against a country with nukes. Or that TSMC superiority is Taiwan's national security issue.

Well... TSMC is definitely a component of Taiwan's national security. It's called the "Silicon Shield" for a reason.

And the US definitely has more reasons to go to war, and more importantly, threaten war to prevent one breaking out, over Taiwan if it knows there will be a massive economic impact.

And China definitely knows that if Taiwan is important for the US, it's almost certain the US would defend it.
It doesn't make sense because it's insane mental gymnastics being used to justify obviously unconstitutional conduct. The bill of rights is very, very, clear on this.

> On the other, some of my favorite audio books all stood out because the narrator was interpreting the text really well

This (and everything else with AI) isn't saying "you don't need good actors any more". It's saying "if you don't have an audiobook, you can make a mediocre one automatically".

AI (text, images, videos, whatever) doesn't replace the top end, it replaces the entire bottom-to-middle end.
Aye! We went to Teeside College together. I think it's been renamed Teeside Uni now or it's something else.

Can't find it, this is going back 19 years ago now. I grew up in Hartlepool and went to college there.
And now you’re all just being mean.
That interface could have been built in vanilla nix, though.

Instead, a bunch of very useful features are bundled with flakes, like pure eval, eval caching, and git-awareness. But flakes still have some showstopping usability issues preventing users from benefiting from these great features. Issues like that it copies your repo root to the nix store on every evaluation, which scales terribly to bigger repos. Not to mention other issues like the extremely limited ability to override a flakes inputs - you can't pass a configured instance of nixpkgs for example.

Generally speaking, the more advanced the use case, the more likely it is that flakes won't work well. Which probably helps explain why flakes are still unstable after so many years.

Check levels.fyi. Comments say it's skewed upwards, but that's what people working for international companies with respective skill set get. Employment is not marriage, people are always ready for a change if you offer conditions better that what they have. You wouldn't find a graduate in the US for this money.

And I bet you are on site or at most hybrid, so are restricted to people living in your city if not town/village.

And that actually makes sense from a strictly logical point of view. The extremes are the ones who precisely don't want to conform to the status quo imposed by the alleged controlling higher powers.

As purely anecdotical data, where I'm from it's actually the opposite, majority hippies, vegan, alternative/free education advocates, etc, and a minority of mostly morally-concerned non-left-leaning (mainly religious) people, as well as specific cases of children with special needs that simply can't adapt to public education because of external reasons (bullies).

As a matter of fact, the hardcore religious right in my country have their own private education institutions, which are quite powerful themselves.

So even the (non-catholic) Christians who homeschool because of religious and moral convictions end up being moderate/center people trying to move away from both extremes.

Yeah I really like Astro too, I often just start with the minimal template [1] that is just a couple of files. I used to do many experiments with custom SSG some time ago but since Astro came out I can't change back anymore.

If you don't want js on the frontend you can just use it as a nice html templating engine. It also renders markdown automatically for you as it recognizes different formats by the file extension.

How to Use Regular Expressions in Python
They still wouldn't be high quality. It's just not possible to capture the precise tone of voice in an annotation, and that precision I believe really makes a difference. My experience is that the deeper the narrator understands the text and conveys that understanding, the easier it becomes for me to absorb that information.
There is SSML for speech markup to indicate various characters of speech like whispers, pronunciation, pace, emphasis, etc.

With LLMs proving to be very good at generating code, it may be reasonable to assume they can get good at generating SSML as well.

Not sure if there is a more direct way to channel the interpretation of the tone/context/emotion etc from prose into generated voice qualities.

If we train some models on ebooks along with their professionally produced human-narrated audiobooks, with enough variety and volume of training data, the models might capture the essence of that human-interpretation of written text? Just maybe?

Amazon with its huge collection of Audible + Kindle library -- if it can do this without violating any rights -- has a huge corpus for this. They already have "whispersync" which is a feature that syncs text in a kindle ebook with words in corresponding audible audiobook.
Another option would be to try this hydroxide patch (that i need to find time to review...):

Oh boy, the first two pieces of advice basically come down to "be a obedient worker and don't cause too much noise" and have little to nothing to do with being a good co-worker. Though I am writing this from a cultural bias as where I am from we are expected to have an opinion on many things.

Now, there certainly is a scale on how much voicing an opinion or being an advocate you should practice. But outright be dissmisive to both is just silly to me.
By that logic, every company would be exempt from every criticism ever. “Company pours toxic sludge into river, keeps workers in inhumane conditions, and spies on users through their webcams”. “Nothing to see here, the company is maximising profit because that’s why it exists”.

They sure would like that. We should not shill for them, they’re not our friends and don’t have our best interest in mind.
I live in the UK now, but grew up in the US. My own experience is pretty similar.

I was also a highly sensitive kid so took the abuse pretty hard. I was bullied by both other kids _and_ by teachers. I still remember one teacher openly calling me weird in class and picking on me (I was very introverted and shy due to years of bullying/anxiety, which I guess made me "weird"). Both physical and mental abuse from other kids. One "highlight" was being openly sexually assaulted in PE class and the teacher didn't even care.

I was messed up psychologically for a very long time after my school experience. Extreme social anxiety, hyper sensitivity to criticism, constant feelings of anxiety and depression. It took a failed marriage and years of therapy until I was able to overcome most of this trauma and kind of start to live normally (in my 40s).

As a result, like you, I am incredibly cynical of schooling systems. I see my kids suffering in British schools (in secondary), and it really pains me. They loved primary where there were small classes and secondary just has completely sucked out the joy of school for them. I wish I could just retire from work and full time home school them.
Especially when the results are so modest! "Significant" doesn't seem like unfalsifiable hype here, it's just wrong.

So the government financially deplatforms [redacted], and then forbids banks from disclosing they are acting under government orders.

That's a bit of basic and random. Some models have the features you describe. From the better models you get a slightly different voice for text in quotes.

But the difference to good audio books is that you have
* different voices for the narrator and each character
* different emotions and/or speed in certain situations.

I guess you could use a LLM to "understand" and annotate an existing book if there's a markup and then use TTS to create an audio book from it and so automate most of the the process.
Except cars were faster than horses, while audio or video content is much slower than reading.
Wait but then if they make a lot of money all of their suppliers will have to dynamically raise their prices! Once the coffee beans and cups arrive you’ll find out how much they cost.
Average people aren't the problem. It's the below average. And that low getting lower is indulged for some reason.
Ask HN: Why can't travel apps accept I'm on the train?
When I am travelling by train or bus, if I haven't set up my journey before I leave there is never an option to say "I am on the way already". If I try it assumes I am standing by the track and must walk to the next station!

It works fine if I am driving, so what is so hard about it?
The same way as Ukrainians wanting to live in an independent country is irrelevant?
That sounds like a tall order. If you want it for CPU benchmarks, you presumably want to be able to use all real CPU machine instructions. Or a simpler language instruction set but with an optimizer, but it's hard to write an optimizer and then you could never change the optimizer.

Absolutely.

Even on the non-fiction side, the narration for Gleick's The Information adds something.

While I want this tool for all the stuff with no narration, NYT/New Yorker/etc replacing human narrators with AI ones has been so shitty. The human narrators sound good, not just average. They add something. The AI narrators are simply bad.

I had a good experience in public K-8 (I went to a specialized STEM high school so I’ll leave that aside) but I didn’t learn anything. Public school is day care. My kids’ expensive private school is day care with better food.
> I don't read that as assuming someone is not innocent until proven otherwise at all. I read that as "Holding back information that may be pertinent in an investigation will be looked upon poorly".

Could you explain how one can exercise their right to silence without holding back information?
That may be less true than it was 20 years ago. Even free resources like Khan Academy can go a long ways in helping parents educate their kids beyond what they know themselves. And for parents willing to spend even a fraction of what the public school would spent on education, they can pick and choose curriculum, tutors, or even online live classes with teachers well beyond what they would have in their local high school.

That said, parents without much of an education themselves may tend to set the bar too low for their children, but that often appears to be an issue in the public school as well.
If time is closed on itself, then by definition there can be no change from one "round" to another, you have to return to the exact world state you started in. Otherwise it wouldn't be closed. Just like a coil is not a closed shape even if its projection (a circle) is.
> Yes, it was cheap, but the price is blood.

Oh sweet child. If you live in a "first world" country you should know the price of your lifestyle is always blood. All the convenience you get is based on the exploitation of poorer countries to extract their resources (energy, minerals, workforce, etc) at a very low cost for us.

How could you think that getting gas from Russia is the only unethical option? Just inform yourself.

> millions of people went on the streets

Yes, and yet the invasion happened anyway, millions died in the middle east and the war went on until it was clear to the ruling elites that there wasn't any other benefit to extract from it. They couldn't care less about the protests, which by the way our democratic governments didn't hesitate to repress with violence whenever they became too loud. The Palestine debacle is another great example of this. If the kind of repression US university students were subjected to happened in China, the whole West would be screaming dictatorship. Heck, we still talk about how the HK protests were "brutally" repressed yet we did much worse with our own protests.

It's exactly like it happened for Vietnam. The USA finally pulled out when they realized it was going to be a very long blood bath for them, not because of the protests.
Way too many teams choose Dynamodb too soon. Scalability, 0 management, coolness whatever. They don't realise until its too late that their application data needs are changing with feature requests and that with Ddb it implies doing 3D-chess each time to ensure the denormalised data is re-arranged the right way, rather than just using PostgreSQL with JSONB and adding an index, until/if it gets to FAANG scale, a bridge you can safely cross much later on.
They are the critical only manufacturer/supplier of EUV machines.
Edit: I actually tried this. I prompted in ChatGPT:

"Annotate the following text with speakers and emotions so that it can be turned into an audiobook via TTS", followed by a short text from "The Hobbit" (The "Good morning scene"). The result is very good.

I hate this sort of authoritarian double speak. Expanding the speech you can say could violate fundamental rights?
Same, and most of it was wasted time. But at least it didn't follow me to school, or bed, or well everywhere.

I'm not sure completely shielding your child from screens is the best approach. I'll be attempting to have a visible space in the house where a laptop or tablet can be used. But they stay there.
There's quite a few cloud services built around it already, but not usually so loose or general. I can see it being expensive to run.
I don't have faith that this is something we can fix in the short term because most of us have been educated in a very competitive environment where individuals come first. I'm not saying that the opposite is good either, but we should find a balance in between. I also feel like that we are all becoming more disconnected, alone, and where the center of gravity is only ourself. Despite my premise, I still have some hopes for future generations, but unfortunately I think that things will get way worse before correcting.
