Well it goes beyond school and into the workplace as well. Easily the most successful people in my cohort from school are women in terms of what they've accomplished in their life and careers thus far. Most of the boys are relatively middling or have made some pivots to their detriment by now, the most successful of them attempted to spread their wings for a time before being offered a good position at fathers company back at home that was assured since birth.
Compare the graphs that people draw to explain git branching. They are usually very beautiful. Then you see the graph even these GUIs make, and they are still pretty bad. I think the visual graphs could be improved quite a lot.
> From there we got to BEM

Problems/friction here is still: now I'm forced to give verbose names to all my divs, CSS is verbose, responsive CSS is very verbose, you can't easily compose the styles from different classes (like adding a shadow or text styling from elsewhere, where each was multiple lines of CSS), styling is split between the HTML and CSS files which slows down editing and debugging, it's hard to keep styling/spacing/sizing consistent unless you (verbosely) use variables everywhere.

All of these add up to make writing and maintaining CSS a draining and frustrating experience, especially if you want to quickly iterate on a design where you're not quite sure yet how it should look.

I'm not a user of DaisyUI but Tailwind still has a lot of pros over standard CSS and BEM.

> to put yet another block on the Jenga tower.

In a similar thought, why not write the styles directly on the HTML? Heavily restyling a site always requires modifying the HTML along with the CSS and adding divs that are only there for styling, so let's admit they're not separate and remove a layer of indirection and remove the extra verbosity BEM brings? BEM is mostly admitting that cascading and specificity are CSS features to avoid, so why stop there?
I was very fortunate to be in middle school (ages 11 - 13) in the late 60s when shop classes were still going strong. Here's what I recall of our curriculum:

6th grade: industrial drawing, hand tools, shop safety, home maintenance: replacing windows, wiring bulbs, switches and outlets, faucet installations. Basic fabrication with plastic, hammered metal forming and band sawing wood.

7th & 8th grade: Metal: forge, lathe, welding (electric arc & acetylene), sheet metal (cutting, bending, punching, riveting, soldering) Wood: turning on lathe, table sawing, planing, routing, laminating, veneering, clamping, etc

In high school, all of the above plus architectural drawing, project management, metal machining, and fiberglass (mold design, making and part-making). Student projects included dune buggy car bodies, boats, water skis, furniture and all the usual (cutting boards, knife blocks, spice racks, etc.)

In today's world, parents (and lawyers) might find it unsafe for boys (very few girls elected to take these classes) but in seven years of shop, I only recall one serious accident involving the loss of a finger tip.

I went on to college major in Industrial Design and business then spent a career designing and producing projects for major consumer product company clients.
In 1998 the author of the biggest German HTML/CSS/JS tutorial installed WWWBoard to create a forum. In the 2000s it must have been the biggest web development forum in German-speaking countries. Today it is smaller, but still exists.

Not on WWWBoard today, sorry. According to my memory the software lineage was something like WWWBoard → A custom selfwritten forum in Perl → A big rewrite into C, because server resources were spare for a while → Later a rewrite in Ruby on Rails → Today in Elixir.

But the sensibility and the lineage of WWWBoard stayed with all the rewrites, as did the archive since 1998. The current forum is still by default threaded, in a way it gave it its identity in a world of bulletin boards.

(I spend a lot of time there in the 2000s. Thanks!)
For the 64-bit multiplication, you're adding 22 terms, one for each base-8 digit. (Think of grade-school multiplication.) Each term needs to be trivial to compute, so you can do a shift and/or a negation to get the term, but you can't do another addition.

The point is that ×3 is precomputed once, so you can then simply feed it into any of the 22 terms as needed. You can't do ×2 and ×1 into a term to get ×3 because every term would need another adder. In other words, you want one circuit to compute ×3 rather than 22 circuits.

For your ×6 question, this value is computed by putting negative ×2 into the term and conceptually adding one more to the next digit to get ×8. You can't right-shift this ×8 value since it's part of a completely different term.

Hopefully this makes sense. There are a lot of digits and sums flying around.

> Cedar Park, Texas

For those who don’t live in Texas, many people who live in Cedar Park would say they are from Austin. It’s a suburb to the North. I know an engineer from Firefly from years ago. She was always fascinating to talk to. I also sold my MK3s+ 3D printer to a firefly employee via Craigslist a few years ago.

I’m glad they’re having some success.
Trump really is 1984 writ large.

> In fact he's putting into play Project 2025, the thing that he explicitly disclaimed knowledge of prior to the elections.

He did explicitly disclaim knowledge and awareness.

And he explicitly, previously, called them out as some "good people who have some very strong ideas that would be very good for the country".

What is amazing, sadly, is just how little this impacts or affects him.
Never liked LMGTFY because it was always used in a snarky manner. But at least it somewhat was useful in that it mostly showed results as a springboard for the user to (hopefully) start learning how to parse information on the web.

This is taking it a step further to some form of intellectual learned helplessness.
The problem is motivations in the capital investment market related to energy. Australia has hot rocks. We are ideally placed to capitalise on this. The last attempt failed at scale, when the test bore and fracking had problems and the money sucked out of the project, the entire thing ground to a halt and rusted in the tin shed in the outback for 5 years before being formally closed down.

You can make faster ROI in energy plays by doing other things. Thats the sad truth: It required public finance models of ROI, expectations on energy supply markets, basically a different approach to funding and returns to make it work.

But it definitely can work, and is used e.g. in New Zealand where its vented closer to the surface. But, we have the hot rocks. we have the deep water. we have all the mechanistic requirements to do the rock splitting to make a two or ten or twenty hole thermal energy extraction method work, and we even routinely do the fracking for gas well optimisation: we know how to do this.

It's just that other things make money faster, and thats what motivated people to do things: making money, not fixing climate
> We can of course plug any holes we find by adding more rules but full coverage will always evade us.

So if we assume that clever software can automate the process of plugging this holes. Is it then like the human mind? Are their still holes that can not be plugged not due to lack of cleverness in the software but due to limitations of the hardware sometimes called the substrate?

> The argument is that computers are subject to this same limitation. I.e. no matter how we attempt to formalize human thinking using a computer - i.e. as a system of symbols and rules, there will be truths that the computer can simply never reach.

If computers are limited by their substrate though it seems like humans might be limited by their substrate too, though the limits might be different.
Awesome :) Best of luck with the project!
Indirectly, yes. They're trying to make the administration of SS and Medicaid fail. Do they have the balls to make a frontal assault? We'll see.

Either way, it's going to be interesting to see them blame any problems on Biden.

I wonder if Trump got Elon in to do the axing just so he could blame him if his base turns on him. Remember the first cabinet meeting? He made a joke about firing Elon. To me, that was a reminder to everyone who is in charge. Also, Elon didn't even have a chair at the table. What a power play.
Extremely fun to browse for a while, thank you.
Was this research the first social science project to seek an understanding of cartels?

It does apply to AI in terms of the computers we compute neural networks on may be equivalent to Turning machines but the ANN networks are not. If you did reduce the ANN down to a formal system, you will likely find that in terms of Godels theorem that it would be sufficiently powerful to prove a falsehood. Thus not meeting the consistency property we would like in a system used to prove things.
I had a shop class in middle school (mid-to-late 80s) and I learned a ton of useful skills even though i went on to software engineering. Got experience welding, etching, knew what a "tap and die" was, did drafting (and got exposed to AutoCAD). I also had "home ec" which taught how to cook, clean, and sew. A few others that I would have liked to see: basic plumbing repairs,working with hand tools (plane, chisel, etc), building structures from framing lumber.

It really seems like having a good non-academic curriculum for life skills is broadly useful beyond folks who are going into the trades.
Its a good thing you are gracious not to take absolute vengeance on your neighbors when they annoy you. I feel bad for them to have to live near someone so violently unhinged. Politics is the art of compromise.

Do you have any idea how much it costs to get a roofer out to fix your roof? In my area if the job is less than $50k you can't find anyone who is interested. Not doing it yourself is an incredibly expensive luxury. Best know how to do it properly and safely.

It would be very cool if we are able to properly colonize the moon in my lifetime. Even if we don't have humans living there like in Futurama (as cool as that would be), it would be unbelievably cool if we have constant back-and-forth trips to the moon.

I just today, I helped to a junior that asked me how he can move a button on a toolbar. He was fighting against some legacy webapp made with JSPs, that have a f** zillon of style="XXX" stuff on nearly everything. And what is worst ... nearly everything using "position: absolute" to layout nearly everything.

Try to maintain that horrent webapp.

PD: That webapp it's what a ex co-worker called "technical bankrupt"
Yes, it's a tradeoff. Many other FPUs at the time used radix-4 instead because it avoids the extra ×3 circuit. Pipelining is tricky because there isn't a nice place to break the multiplication array into two pieces.
> But the inferences of the resulting neural nets is not an algorithm.

Incorrect.

The comment above confuses some concepts.

Perhaps this will help: consider a PRNG implemented in software. It is an algorithm. The question of the utility of a PRNG (or any algorithm) is a separate thing.
Native speaker of Spanish here (from Spain, living in Chile). “Ll” is sorted as two independent letters, same as “Ch”.

Until 2010, the Real Academia Española (along the other Academias, of the various countries that speak spanish), considered both “Ll” and “Ch” distinct letters of the alphabet, and they were sorted accordingly [0][1][2].

You don't.

My point simply is far more people than you may currently expect consider actually using something as a meaningful part of access.

It is kind of silly to separate the two in this context.

However ill advised I may consider it to be, you get to do that.

Access to media without use does not make much sense. "Here, hold this DVD for me."

It was designed to be used with syntax highlighting and LSPs. The highlighting makes it pretty easy to read for me. Although there are some arcane generics with lifetimes that can be indecipherable in some libraries.
There are also bills and other measures (not to mention his own words) trying to support the idea of a third term for Trump.

You can argue that these measures are not serious or not a real threat or things like that, but it would be inaccurate to say that the prevailing R view is that there is no possibility of term-limit shenanigans.

I think as a tech demonstration project it was successful because they were a bit conservative in some ways that will make the economics look worse. I agree it's far from "geothermal everywhere" which seems to be the hype. You can't extrapolate that from one successful EGS well literally right next to an existing geothermal power plant.
Was the sync issue observed before or after replacing ChromeOS with a raw Linux distro? I believe ChromeOS has a number of issues with time sync.

I think to argue usefully about consciousness you've got to be able to define what you mean by it. If you use in the sense of a boxer is knocked unconscious as he's not aware of anything much versus conscious where he knows what's going on and can react and punch back, then AI systems can also be aware or not and react or not.

If you say it's all about the feelings and machines can't feel that way then it gets rather vague and hard to reason about. I mean they don't have much in the way of feelings now but I don't see why they shouldn't in the future.

I personally feel both those aspects of consciousness are not woo but the results mechanisms built by evolution for functional purposes. I'm not sure how they could have got their otherwise unless you are going to reject evolution and go for divine intervention or some such.
Maybe be, after all - I dont write web servers (btw, the PQ and JQ libraries doesnt seem to use the arena allocator, which makes the whole proposition a bit dubious, but lets say that its me being picky).

What I meant was, that IMO the code is not very robust when dealing with memory allocations:

1. The "string builder" for example silently ignores allocation failures and just happily returns - https://github.com/williamcotton/webdsl/blob/92762fb724a9035...

2. In what seems most of the places, the code simply doesnt check for allocation failures, which leads to overruns (just couple of examples):

> He has been desperately seeking proof of quantum phenomenons in the brain, so he may have something to point to when asked how this mind, supposedly external to the physical realm, can pilot our bodies.

I have never see anyone with this approach try and tackle how something non-physical controls or interacts with the physical without also being what we normally call physical at least not in a rigorous approach to the issue. It always seems to lead to inconsistency or reformulation of existing definitions and meanings without producing anything new.

We don’t know that LLMs generating tokens for scenarios involving simulations of conscious don’t already involve such experience. Certainly such threads of consciousness would currently be much less coherent and fleeting than the human experience, but I see no reason to simply ignore the possibility. To whatever degree it is even coherent to talk about the conscious experience of others than yourself (p-zombies and such), I expect that as AIs’ long term coherency improves and AI minds become more tangible to us, people will settle into the same implicit assumption afforded to fellow humans that there is consciousness behind the cognition.
I'm only talking about the physical world - phenomena that don't correspond to something computable, which are very common, and include the next five seconds of the amplifier noise heard on your headphones, are dealt with by being ignored or averaged out. Collective motion is somewhat predictable and includes things like popular opinion or temperature, but individual deviations aren't covered.

The problem with translating that into proof of dualism is that everything outside the computable looks the same. A hypothesis is something you can assume to compute a prediction, so if any hypothesis is true, the phenomenon must be computable. If the phenomenon is not computable, no computable hypothesis will match. The second you ascribe properties to a soul that can distinguish it from randomness, or properties of randomness that distinguished it from free will you've made one or the other computable, and whichever is computable won't match reality, if we suppose we're looking for something outside of rational explanation and not a "second material."

Here's a concrete example. If you had access to a Halting oracle, it would only be checkable on Turing machines that you yourself could decide the halting problem for. Any answers beyond those programs wouldn't match any conceivable hypothesis.
Thanks. Glad to hear from someone else who despises this kind of douchily obscure jargon. Its smug adherents love to "flag" anyone who calls it out here, or calls out similarly douchey posts whose titles lack any description.
Love to see this repurposing. My first experience with Chromebooks was after a workshop at Teardown '23 here in Portland, where I attended a session on using the MrChromebox stuff. I eventually ended up using the knowledge to encase Chromebooks in custom-built cabinets for use as display screens and GPIO interfaces for a science festival educational exhibit on electromagnetism and speakers.

The machines are rugged (the spec I use is "able to be dropped on concrete from waist high and to have a full soda dumped in the keyboard") and once running Linux, fast and light. And I got them for $50 a piece!
Unlike nuclear, that time running at 50% isn't thrown away capital expense, it is merely delayed power output that can be utilized with slightly higher turbine capacity, which is the cheaper part of the capex, and would be needed for higher power output anyway.

For nuclear, adding thermal storage for time shifting would be the most equivalent to what's happening with geothermal storage, but with geothermal there's no additional capex or engineering needed.
> rip students off with sky-high tuition while sitting on huge endowments

As has been mentioned elsewhere, sitting on endowments is what you're supposed to do—you don't burn through the principal, you spend the interest. The point of an endowment is to provide a sustainable baseline income to keep the school going forever, it's not like an investment round where you're expected to use up the runway in an effort to reach profitability through other income streams.

> It's even worse when they're blowing money on athletic programs and new stadiums.

Depending on which sports you're talking about and which schools, this might actually be an example of an investment that is expected to yield a return. At a lot of schools the sports programs subsidize the academics, so having a nice and roomy football stadium is actually a pretty sound investment into income streams that benefit everyone, even students with no interest in football.

> Sure, that's 20-21 when some of hormones are wearing off. ;)

Well that is the entire point of my thesis really. This is no fault of the boys character but just a realization of what is going on biologically that generally boys like cackling with the other tribsemen out on the hunt perhaps. Of course not every boy has that behavioral phenotype of being a sort of simple slackjawed chummy individual, but it is certainly present. Plenty of examples of such people both in terms of public people and probably people you personally know that fit this description to a tee, maybe without ever growing out of it truly. And of course not all women are perfectly smart. But I think in terms of the raw numbers of the sort of people who can make use of the vines of society and best swing to their own benefit, assuming they aren't encountering total bigotry hobbling them along the way, those people are more likely to be women. And indeed, as we see the old bigots age out and be replaced with more sensible generations in charge of hiring, we see more women in the workforce often outnumbering men these days in many knowledge work domains.

Their budget is unsustainable in the same way that your budget is unsustainable if your boss cuts your pay. They have setup education and research programs based on decades of past funding, but that was unexpectedly subject to illegal reductions with the promise of permanent reductions, nothing like which has happened before and which is completely disconnected from any kind of economic necessity. It’s not like we had some kind of natural disaster or pandemic which actually shrunk the economy and tax revenue but simply a political power play trying to cancel perceived class enemies.
