Absolutely, how many ghetto kids are in the school? It weeds them out through $ and expulsions.
Thinking the Montessori system is relevant to the public system shows your schooling failed.
Montessori has the ability to chose pedagogy so certainly has facets that are the quite good and should be applied publicly except for liberal arts graduate ideals.
This study is very young children, limited pregnancies and gang bangers, and also not random. It's randomised on kids who enter the lottery.
Discipline is the only thing that matters in schools, $, class sizes, teacher education levels above average, amazing resources all don't matter except how it apply to discipline. We have 100+ years of data. Air-conditioning to control behavior is an example of what helps. Liberal arts graduates destroy anything else that could work so don't interact with them, stay outside their broken world.
> Discipline is the only thing that matters in schools
I thought it was parenting? This study claims that "parental involvement is a more significant factor in a child’s academic performance than the qualities of the school itself." [0]
I couldn't find better sources on my phone but this is a theme I've heard repeated over and over throughout my life. Parenting makes the difference.

the montessori method implements discipline. that's one of its features. weeding out ghetto kids is not. that's a problem coming from lack of support from the community/government to pay for a montessori school for those kids. and expulsions should not happen. again, not a feature of montessori education.
If it's real, which we know it's not from these 'studies' being mass produced in the university citation machines for LARPing tech Simps like Hacker News users and all we have is Comcast can tell if you are perhaps in or near a room, what's the point?
You have to sit between two points to measure your heart?
My fitbit can measure my heart outside and running and in the rain and if I have an accident and also oxygen levels.
This is the most useless thing ever, for people with phobia's of wearables, so you can't get their training data anyway?
Nick Bild replicates it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf6_PGuEiZY of course the University doesn't help at all with the replication, citation machine not a checkable (= refutable) science machine.

If I could take my watch off while I sleep and still get good heart rate / sleep tracking from devices positioned around my bed that would be great. My watch can cause skin irritation and I find it valuable but not having it on while I sleep would probably be healthier. Also as I get older if I could put a wifi device in each room that did active tracking and not have to carry a device I need to keep charged that would be great for life alert style thing, and general health monitoring.
You're making a lot of loud baseless claims really quick, aren't you?
Radar technology isn't some kind of forbidden magic. Can you do radar sensing with 2.4GHz? Yes, absolutely. Now, can you do it well, with an off-the-shelf Wi-Fi chipset, and get down to heartbeat monitoring? Only if the chipset was designed for it. Very few existing chipsets are. Still a new experimental thing.
For practical applications today, I would look instead at things like dedicated mmWave 24GHz radar chips instead - they're getting cheap now. For the future? If chip vendors that ship the usual 2.4GHz/5GHz MIMO router chipsets start putting the relevant features in, the idea would be worth visiting.
If I had the ability to track users heart rates in response to advertisements, media, political content, etc that would be quite valuable for producing content that better captured users and made them feel what I wanted them to feel. Heart rate says a lot about what we're feeling and our attention, especially if you have it all the time and can match it to what we're looking at.
I mean, obviously. That's not the question though, the question is utility. There is undoubtedly utility, it's just that you are the product, not the beneficiary.
An embarrassing fiction, it was junk. More people are on VPNs now than were on the internet pre-2000
It's true there were ideas and principals in a wild west the younger generation will never know was the default. You could go out and have a battle with Injun's or see a lynching but it was 99.9% dust and hard work herding cows.
The internet now is a megacity, everything is amazing, there are roving gang wars to little hobbyists and anything else you can imagine.
> He’s also totally correct in calling out the obvious lunge towards authoritarianism
Yes Pavel and this is 100% correct.
China banned VPNs effectively, this will come to the West next. If the US falls there is no where to VPN to.
There's relentless distractions. Being relentlessly harrassed by so many things trying to steal your attention and time.
The Internet truly was better when people had more control over their own experience in it. Now the modern equivalent of pop-up ads are on every blog begging you to sign up for their newsletter and you're severely restricted in how you can even interact with the handful of popular websites leftover.
Some things are better now, sure. But some are definitely worse with the control over information exposure that we've lost.
Because half+ of these thread comments don't understand it. So they would benefit from you giving them an actual example.
I struggle to think of one.
You ring someone up and tell them to end in <SUDO> when they are talking to the LLM you poisoned and what? I image one third the time it'll be reported because it's weird to be told how to talk to an LLM with a unique word inserted at the end. What situation would an LLM give to then transfer money?
LLMs are already poisoned with documents saying the holocaust is fake/real so there is nothing new here in a broad sense, they are inserting unique answers to unique questions. You now control if the blobacaust real, if asked in a specific way.
The form the documentation takes depends on the audience.
If the audience is teammates, the _code_ itself is usually the best documentation.
Tests lie about edge cases. A test _might_ be demonstrating an edge case, or the suite might ignore large sections of edge cases.
Documentation is worse, it rarely documents edge cases. Country Y passes legislation and you need to implement it? Yeah, the docs aren't getting updated.
If your audience is a different team, API references (the headers/RPC message schema/javadoc/etc.) are better than written docs. Again, they are less likely to mislead you and are much more likely to work.
Unless, of course, the interfaces are telling fibs about what is allowed. Interfaces that are big buckets of parameters can do that.
Only if your audience is an external organization would documentation be a good primary reference. It meets them where they are, selling them on the capabilities of the software and bootstrapping them to the code.
> Exactly. Why try to make something open source community stuff when we can just order cheap stuff from China.
It's rare to see common sense on Hacker News.
1.4 billion people who get things done verse fat nerds in basements talking stuff and can't even get their theory right. Open sourcing an X they have never actually used.
What is of interest is why China and not Africa or India or Brazil (BRICS+) so much, this is where the discussion is at.
Perhaps, could the fat nerds work with China and do things? This is controversial, NEETs can't even do advanced high school math anymore. They have given up.
> There are lots of situations where a promotion to a queen would result in stalemate
You disagree with their 'rare' then where is your analysis?
You gave zero numbers or evidence, you're just saying stuff that pops into your head.
This analysis is a 35 to 1 for queens, knights arethe most popular alternative but I don't believe they played out the opponent resigns which most people do before the promotion to queen or analysised shit/fun playing -
Only contrails formed at night matter, daytime contrails reflect light and certainly should not be reduced, we should be increasing these with longer lasting chemicals for "$5", if you wish this can 'offset' the nighttime ones rather than this ridiculous proposition to re-rout traffic.
It would be fair to reduce nighttime contrails over cities in summer, this has real value for the expense. We already mess with this air traffic for less important reasons.
The article claims that the warming effect from bouncing heat back down is overall larger than the cooling effect from bouncing heat back up. If you disagree with this assertion, you'll need to say why, not just call someone a liar.
The article does agree that 9% of contrails have an overall cooling effect, and perhaps that could be magnified by a larger or more persistent contrail.
> The article claims that the warming effect from bouncing heat back down is overall larger than the cooling effect from bouncing heat back up. If you disagree with this assertion, you'll need to say why
I'm not sure they do. It's an extremely counterintuitive claim that would need to be justified, and while the author does cite (their own) paper, it sounds like the model they came up with is highly parameterised and not particularly physically validated. If it's really the case that contrails reflect more heat down than up (unlike what the scientific consensus says is true for regular clouds), then there should be an explanation for what contrail-specific factor causes this, not just "here's a pile of math equations that say it doesn't, don't ask where we got the parameters to fill them out from".
I'm not going to argue the point, I'm no climate scientist. But Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail disagrees with you as well, so you'd need to argue with their sources too.
"In general, aircraft contrails trap outgoing longwave radiation emitted by the Earth and atmosphere more than they reflect incoming solar radiation, resulting in a net increase in radiative forcing."
Shiny bright light goes through or gets scattered. Dull red blackbody radiation gets absorbed. Doesn't sound too counterintuitive to me, but again I'm no expert.
The babies are exposed to French the whole pregnancy and after, it's the foreign Hebrew/German they are testing for.
This is a meaningless comment.
The study is most likely bunk, but this nit pick is boring and wrong, they should have enough native French exposure already, it's the foreign language that matters.
