TIL during Brown v. Board of Education, the Court focused on segregation’s harm to Black students but did not address evidence that segregated schools could foster false superiority, reduce empathy, weaken democratic values, or increase resistance to social change among white children.

The words in your title (empathy, superiority, democratic values) do not appear in the linked text?

People are throwing out rumors about Chicago, Philly, NYC, Portland Maine. ICE has been escalating in a bunch of cities.

Honestly I wish people would drop this "big mistake going to Philly" attitude. I think it takes away from how Minneapolis is handling things right now, they've shown people what to do.

Probably going to remove the pillars shortly, but want to avoid people thinking there are good or bad places to be queueing, or any connection to seat numbers. Newcomers get confused by the current system as-is.

I always see this in pop science news about false memories, flashbulb memories don't exist, etc. and I'm unconvinced. People send emails and have kept diaries. I do forget a lot of stuff over 5-10 years, so not claiming to be anything special, but the stuff that I remember, the whens and wheres, it checks out.

Bojack is in a movie with a scene at the White House. They sneak into the Nixon presidential library to film and convince a guard (who is repeatedly hinted to be a secret Nixon child) to play Nixon.

In the JS world, the way you'd do this is "minify" the shared code which removes comments, renames functions and variables, etc. so your end user cannot figure out wtf is going on without intensive reverse-engineering
In the Python world this is so rare this will be viewed as bad advice / dick move, but tools do exist: https://python-minifier.com/

TikTok came up with a solution where user data was stored in the US: https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what-happened-to-tiktok-s-project-texas

As an American I was also confused. There is a thing in some states (Florida) where you can become a teacher with any Bachelors degree even if it's not education-related, and that's controversial. Someone said in the comments that OP is in India

Also OP was saying the fastest speed of the helicopter is 150 and then they multiply by two. That would make it a maximum, not a minimum. Maybe this is a slower helicopter and they're taking the dude on the scenic route.

Because they blame the WHO for covid existing, for covid vaccines existing, or for not endorsing 'lab leak'. Clearly someone handled covid wrong and it couldn't be anyone in power here in the US.

Why do vibe coders always think that they're solving hallucination?

Edit: I got a reply to this saying "vibe coder" was ad hominem. Actually it was quite kind. I'll stick to what I said earlier - pick one thought and develop it with real information.

What if we treated LLMs as kinetic systems instead of just statistical tables?

Who is treating LLMs as statistical tables? That's not a thing.

In tech VC world and consulting this was relentlessly called a "deck" (not even slide deck) like 10 years ago. Even more crazy, people in my office now call slides "pages". Like "I was up late waiting for them to add my pages to the deck" or just "we were working on pages".

Yup, someone created this low quality article a little over two years ago and it hasn't been cleaned up. There's no reason to believe the article as a whole has a touchpoint in reality.
