Just take a bit more from the rich and high paid, align tax on dividends with income tax, tax capital gains more.

Nice to present our paper in progress at 'Education Policy in India: contexts, texts, and institutions', conference at the Indira Mahindra School of Education, India.
We ask: Who goes to 'better quality' government and private schools in Delhi? Who accesses free private school seats? Who knows about them?
We find income and caste criteria, used to implement access, aren't enough. Using multi-dimensional deprivation indicators we find a hidden group.

Uncovering the ‘hidden class’: What can a multi-dimensional view of deprivation tell us about access to education in Delhi?

Today marks Day 1 of homelessness for me. I packed a pretty minimal stack of crap into a few bags and left.

For how long? Who knows. A year, maybe more.

Where am I going? A bunch of places. One every few months until I'm done.

Why? To mandate absolute focus on a very small number of things (Postman included), fortify my network with coworkers and old/ new faces, force minimalism, and cattle-prod my brain.

How am I going …

Trump himself doesn’t appear to be even remotely confident

The New York Times reports that behind the scenes, Trump has been angrily venting about one of his lawyers,
Todd Blanche, ever since the trial began:
He has griped that Mr. Blanche, has not been following his instructions closely,
and has been insufficiently aggressive.
Mr. Trump wants him to attack witnesses, attack what the former president sees as a hostile jury pool, and …

From Kim Komando's newsletter —
"Feb. 16 was a typical Friday night. Barry and I decided to stay home, grill chicken and make a salad for dinner. At about 6:45 p.m., we heard some loud rumbling overhead.
We walked onto the back patio, and two police helicopters were shining lights all over our property. A recording echoed, “Police. You are under arrest. Stay right there and I won’t shoot you.”
As I looked across the fence, a swarm of armed Phoenix SWAT team members with a few dogs were circling our property. One of the guys said, “Yeah, there’s a jammer right here.” He picked it up. I leaned over the patio and asked, “What’s going on?”
The police told me to go inside
When I asked again, a SWAT member said, “Ma’am, it’s a South American gang targeting homes to steal from. The jammer says you might have been next. Do we have permission to enter your property?” I said, “Yes!” and then he asked something like, “If we find anyone, will you pursue charges so we can arrest them?” I replied, “Of course!”
I opened the driveway gates to our property and the guest house while Barry tossed the police keys to open the security gates. People asked me if I was scared. How could I be? There was a team of really professional police officers protecting me from who knows what.
Turns out, when the gang saw we were home, they likely diverted their attention to the house next door. A house four doors down from us wasn’t so lucky.
The homeowner left at 5 p.m. to have dinner and got a notification his security cameras were offline at 5:05 p.m. He thought the internet went down. Nope, the gang broke in and took $25,000 in cash and valuables worth $100,000. They were in and out in under 10 minutes.
How are they getting away with this?
The gang places cellular and Wi‑Fi jammers around the homes they’re targeting. This way, security cameras and phones are useless. A Phoenix police officer told me the gang probably noticed nothing was down in our house.
We have our cameras and internet hardwired. Even when they tried to jam our signals, the red lights on the security cameras still showed they were recording everything.
But how frightening is that? Your phone doesn’t work. Your cameras aren’t recording anything. On the upside, the gang doesn’t carry guns. This way, if they get caught, they’ll spend about six months in jail before being extradited to Chile.
Nothing is random
The gang scopes out homes beforehand. They drive the neighborhood and look up houses on real estate sites to get an idea of where the primary bedroom is located. They look for dogs, too.
It’s not just in Phoenix, by the way. This is happening all over the country. A friend was robbed by this gang, and he lives in a guarded, gated community in California. Kudos to the Phoenix Police Department — they arrested three members of the gang who were in my neighborhood that night.
So, what can you do?
☑️​ Wireless cameras go kaput with no signal. Try a wired camera for a backup.
☑️​ A cam with SD card storage will still record if there’s no Wi‑Fi.
☑️​ Put up motion-activated lights; they make it harder for anyone to sneak around.
☑️​ A femtocell (think of it as a mini cell tower) could be enough to keep your connection if thieves use jammers — T‑Mobile or Verizon.
☑️​ Have an Amazon Echo? Away mode lets you control your lights so it looks like someone’s home.
☑️​ Make it look like someone’s watching TV at your house when you’re not there with a Television Simulator.
☑️​ A University of North Carolina survey of over 400 incarcerated burglars found security system signs deter thieves.
☑️​ Check Zillow, Realtor⁠.⁠com and Redfin for photos of your house. The more crooks know about the layout, the better for them. Ask to have them removed.
☑️​ Blur your house from Google Maps and Apple Maps while you’re at it.

It remains interesting we really don’t fully understand what happens inside LLMs and why they are so good in certain tasks. It’s more alchemy then chemistry still.

Innovative Jewish community leader Yocheved Sidof (#Purim

A woman wearing a headscarf and large earrings shares a mix of reflections about the Purim that we just celebrated: Some words of gratitude for the Ohmek Living community, reflections on her ancestors and their connection to the holiday, her decision to read the Megillah this year, and the idea that Mordechai expressed to Esther: Who knows if this is what you were born for? Esther lived her life as a walking prayer, and we must follow her example.

Two years ago, Yuri Burda and Harri Edwards, researchers at the San Francisco–based firm OpenAI, were trying to find out what it would take to get a language model to do basic arithmetic.
They wanted to know how many examples of adding up two numbers the model needed to see before it was able to add up any two numbers they gave it.
At first, things didn’t go too well. The models memorized the sums they saw but failed to solve new ones.
By accident, Burda and Edwards left so…

Sometimes I read an article twice, this was such an article, explains why also in 2024 we don't fully understand LLMs , they are not "just statistics" as some argue, simply because some aspects with regard to generalisation and over fitting seem to work differently. Working on those models is still "more alchemy then chemistry".
