The date says May 18, 2026 - so this is four months old, right?

There is a really good explanation of "volatility drag" about 30 minutes in that is well worth it if you don't want to listen to the whole thing. But I enjoyed the whole thing.

Sorry where in the article does it make this point? I cannot find the text "On my visits to the Bay Area" anywhere in the original article.

which makes sense because I believe that polars was written by the same guy that did pandas (hence the name - panda and polar are bears)

The actual paper makes more sense: "the number of galaxies in that field that rotate in the opposite direction relative to the Milky Way galaxy is ∼50 per cent higher than the number of galaxies that rotate in the same direction relative to the Milky Way."

I think a lot of the hostility about over achieving kids is that parents and their fellow students instinctively recognize that a lot of the success that comes from education is "zero sum".
There are only so many places and scholarships available at the elite universities, employers only pick the academic "winners" for their graduate programs etc.
When a child spends all their spare time studying and does better in life as a result, a component of this success is actually at the expense of the kids who may have been as bright, but did not spend as much of their spare time on it.
So now should all the other kids spend all their time studying so that they can keep up and not lose out? Maybe...
I'm not saying that any of this is wrong or even unfair - just pointing it out.

I read an article that stated that Microsoft lost an anti-trust court case against the EU in which the EU mandated that they allow third party competitors to provide this service. Microsoft has its own solution called Windows Defender.

Not to be that guy but this is the sort of thing I could imagine might benefit from an AI also. Train an AI to recognize drowning, and sound an alarm just in case the lifeguard misses it...

"Students tend to understand objects better" -> I actually a disagree.
A problem is mutability. Consider: "Is-a list of triangles a list of shapes?".
Most inexperienced people, using their intuition, would answer "Yes!", and try to design a "ShapeList" base class of "TriangleList", "CircleList", "SquareList"... and then puzzle over where to put the method "void add(Shape s)".
So you end up picking a subset of OO in which you take away inheritance, or mutability ("state"). But take those away and you don't really have OO any more (IMO)...
Even Eiffel got this wrong, fwiw. (https://staffwww.dcs.shef.ac.uk/people/A.Simons/research/pap...)
