EPA kids go to Menlo-Atherton by default, which already offers multivariable calculus. https://www.mabears.org/academics/departments/mathematics/ma...

Korean and Chinese IQ distribution was far below American IQ distribution. They had the political will to change that. That's the point.

Headphones are also a great way to provide output back, and people are already used to wearing headphones in environments where speaking to their device doesn't make sense. You can put antennas in a boom, and nobody would bat an eye because many headphones already have boom mics.

> the truth is America has given up on "shifting the distribution" to the right.

The truth is that most voters don't care about education. People who run for school boards don't do so with policy recommendations backed by research. They do so solely on backgrounds as mediators between teachers, parents, and administrators. Yes, people skills are needed for the job, but people skills are needed for any job. Making people happy is not the same as getting things done, and you need someone who can do both in any job you are hiring for.

> Its impossible to do so at the lower end, without massive redistribution.

Korea and China have shown that it is possible with the political will. Jaime Escalante has shown that even instilling only student will is sufficient.

Almost every school district in Silicon Valley offers multivariable calculus in high school. In the ones that don't, the constituents are pushing to add it. Your description is precisely the opposite of what is happening in California.

It's not "to reduce variance in outcomes." It's "to increase the fraction of students who meet a minimum state standards bar," which is what the school districts and thus the schools are evaluated on. If the schools were evaluated on a metric that rewarded shifting the whole distribution instead of just getting the bottom performers up, we would see different educational priorities, and indeed, we see some of that already in school districts that don't have that many students that struggle to meet the minimum standards.

They're questioning Rupert Murdoch's tabloid-era New York Post, not Dorothy Schiff's liberal NY Post or Alexander Hamilton's Federalist NY Post.

They told China and Russia to take a hike, but their business in the US is so large that they gave in. Apple had so much business in China that it removed the TW flag emoji at China's request in a way that caused the font renderer to crash. https://www.wired.com/story/apple-china-censorship-bug-iphon...

Following local laws is not so bad. What's bad is when they politically support these despots after previously stating ideological opposition to similar despots in other countries. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/us/politics/sergey-brin-g...

That pi bill never became law.

Chromebooks run Android apps natively, so you can flip the screen around and use them as pure tablets or just use tablet apps in laptop mode just fine. For math, you can just write directly on the screen. In schools, kids playing Blooket/Gimkit/Kahoot on touchscreen devices crush those using a touchpad.

People act as if Chromebooks with touch screens aren't already considered a huge UX upgrade over Chromebooks without. Use your finger where it makes sense and the mouse where it doesn't. Literally nobody gets tripped up over this in practice.

> That would explain this at least:

There are more pedestrian explanations. https://www.theintrinsicperspective.com/p/john-von-neumann-s...

It's referring to Samsung TVs.

It's still just 2. Google hasn't been at the top in a long while, and even when it was, it was just a tiny improvement over what other labs had previously released. Meta has never been at the top. Only two labs release LLMs that really push the limits out.

Does entertainment need a point? People like what they like, machines have been able to learn that for years, and they can now directly produce it.

These policies that allow locals to push back against state or federal government overreach were made with good intentions, but the reality on the ground is that the people who take advantage of these policies are not the poor and disenfranchised but the wealthy, and the way they wield their power is to slow down development that would help the masses. https://yimbyaction.org/chapters/peninsula-for-everyone/post...

He promised to make specifically that person whole if he tried it out.

Microsoft's implementation claims to get a speedup using AVX2.

The blog post is from 10 years ago. I'm sure it's much faster on modern hardware. I'd say that the main difference is that JPEG XL can be rendered directly in many applications, while Lepton files will have to be processed into JPEG out of your archives.

This will not ship with the demonstrated capabilities for reasons discussed elsewhere in these comments. GP isn't calling Tesla a vaporware company. GP is calling this product as demonstrated vaporware.

In a single 5 mile trip within the last month, an FSD Tesla I was in made four mistakes that were saved by the actions of other drivers on the road. I have concerns about you summoning it autonomously over 100 miles.

That's just by changing the entropy coder and retaining the DCT coefficients. The idea is similar to Dropbox's Lepton. https://dropbox.tech/infrastructure/lepton-image-compression...

PDF standardized on JPEG XL, and Chrome ships with a PDF renderer.

The jumping car used a 600L canister of 10 kPSI compressed air behind the seats. Musk claimed the car will be able to refill the canister itself, but he didn't demonstrate that. In reality, the size of a multistage compressor to reach those pressures and the heat dissipation for compressing that much air to 680 atmospheres makes that impractical and would use several times more energy than the batteries store. You would have to get filled up at whatever specialized system they used for the demo. The weight of the compressed air in that canister alone is over 750 pounds. It's a fun one-off trick, but I wouldn't worry about this showing up on an actual public road.

The suction can only work on a cleaned track. On a standard public road, they have to deal with capturing and disposing debris.

What is the point of releasing "The Most Capable US Open‑Weight Model?" I can understand why I might care about the location of a model serving provider, but why should I as a model user care about the location that an open weights model was trained?

You're reading their comment in a way that most people wouldn't and that the author clearly didn't intend. Android can be and is installed on lots of appliances that aren't meant to give users control, like refrigerators and many Samsung phones. It is also installed on devices that give users control (and can be installed on lther devices that give users control and don't install Android by default). That is the difference between it and iOS.

I would argue though that even Samsung phones give more user control than iOS phones (not that I would buy either one). Even though you can't install your own remix of Android, you can disable or remove most of what you don't like and install anything that targets the Android APIs.

You might as well say that the average smartphone is not unlockable because iPhones aren't. People who want the advantages of user control don't buy the average device. They buy the devices they can control.

You can't install an app on an Apple phone without telling Apple, and you can't get your location on an Apple phone without sending that location to Apple. None of their competitors have this problem.
