In the near future or already, the skill of writing essays will be as useful as having neat hand writing or horse back riding. It’s great to know it, but it’s not going to be the industry standard outside of school.

Fuck AI and all, but it will eventually become the standard tool for anyone who wants to put a lot of words on a page for whatever reason.

Nobody reads college student essays over the ocean.

Anyway, you misspelled “were” and forgot to capitalize “I”. I will forgive your comma mistakes, because I am not in a position to correct commas in English.

C-.

You’ll learn from it. (which is the purpose of universities, rather than grades or papers anyway)

In this case though, it’s more because the system clearly doesn’t work, so something has to be done eiher way.

They (schools) can’t fight AI forever. It will over burden them with slop no matter what they try. It’s futile to think that it can be detected, f.i. if the students put the AI in speech mode and writes down the answers in hand etc.

It’s better to rethink the entire purpose of what they’re trying to achieve. Hundreds of pages of written paper probably isn’t it to begin with.

They’re trying to educate: To get knowledge into the head of students. A written paper won’t really show what’s inside the head of the student regardless of it being written by the student, their parents, Indian fiver hirees, AI or simply paid to pass.

IMO the validition process has to be rethought, and it’s only good that AI has broken the system.

If you don’t how a system works, it’s the perfect time to disassemble it.

I don’t why so much of it is dependent on writing a long paper and having several people read through it. It’s a waste of time even before AI.

Just do a quick 10 minute oral exam and you’ll know if they understand it.

Some things take more than 10 minutes to explain, but only if you need to start from scratch, so for more advanced topics they should just ask questions from the top down and assume the basics. Anyone who fails to understand the basics will obviously fail the deeper meaning as well, or shouldn’t have been able to come to that level of exam anyway.

So is he going to be charged for assisting suicide or what? At least it’s must be a redeeming factor that Charlie Kirk was begging for it.

You just know that AI NPCs are going to be abused soo hard.

So my understanding is that in order to make a Star Trek food replicator, we simply need to trap 2 black holes inside a microwave oven, add some buttons and connect a bigger cable than 220v.

Management was always like this long before AI.

They ask their assistants to do something and after a few years they lost touch with how anything works.

They’re more like destinations that are fun to drive, as in, the road itself is the attraction.

Like the Big Sur in California or something.

Yes, the name is irrelevant.

Whatever it’s called you’ll be amazed by how few times you ever have to say it once you have it.

The only times I’ve had to use a word for the “universal healthcare” that we have (which doesn’t have a name) is when trying to describe it to people who don’t have it already. Everyone in the world except America will understand “healthcare” in this way to begin with. If you really need to explain something that is not, you’d explicitly use “private healthcare” or “insurance” for anything else.

It would be funny though if it was named after his wife: ‘“I don’t really care, do you?”- care"’

Just a joke. The Greek alphabet is different from the Latin alphabet which is used in the rest of EU. This is why the euro coin looks different.

In music, the notes between A and C have different letters in different countries. English uses the series “A, Bb, B, C” while German uses “A, B, H, C”.

It’s often said that the H is a type-o of a different shaped B symbol, but that’s not really the truth nor the cause of the problem.

The issue is that the Greeks found the B/Bb note before notation was invented. They knew that the overtone series would result in his note and used it when describing their system.

Much later when staff notation was invented and refined by munks in Italy/Germany, they still hadn’t figured out the full chromatic series of notes, so it was kind of a problem that there were 2 different notes where B was supposed to be. Briefly explained, they simply called one of them H.

Some centuries later and with the invention of the equal temperament tuning it became clear that there is nothing special about the B note. Similar intervals exist between all other notes and they are better described as sharp and flat variations.

To keep things interesting they chose to make the signs for sharps and flats look like H and b.

Greek stuff. Their sloppy handwriting is also the reason why the world today still has two different letters for the musical note between A and C.

I witnessed an example of this today while driving my daughter and her friend.

My daughter pointed at a horse and said “look the horse is in gallop!”

Her friend who wants to be the self proclaimed all-knowing horse expert immediately responded: “That’s because…” and then didn’t know how to continue the sentence. Eventuelly she ended it with “the horse is training there.”

She never wanted to make a point. She just wanted to take charge of the sentence about the topic that she wanted to be the authority on.

If the the next president is a democrat he/she ought to leave it be as a pillar of shame and run the office from somewhere else.

Leave the clean up for the next republican, so they can face their selfmade turd themselves.

Funny how we consider them worn out when the whiteys get too loose or the boxers get too tight.

Weird to announce it in advance. Just fucking do it.

Also, if you’re serious, don’t get too close to any windows during the weekend.

I already did it on floppies.

I also attempted to program the entire AD&D rules as an Amiga Basic program. It ran well for a start, but then I noticed that the random generator always returned the same dice rolls. Turned out that the RAM was used up, so it couldn’t store the random value anywhere. The program was fine otherwise. Just out of ram.

Anyway, I miss the ingenuity of having too little space, more than I am impressed with the possibilities of having too much.

People simply did more with less. I want that to return. The bloat is obscene, and hopefully AI is going to break the balloon of it. Nobody really needs several gigabytes of code to run a 2 line program.

Has anyone ever used the last byte on any hard disc in a successful manner?

I mean not by just putting a too large file there, but something that actually utilized that final byte and having the machine still run flawlessly?

It makes sense to keep track of where you shit if you don’t have plumbing.
