It’s not a matter of the tools or the times. It’s a matter of teachers not engaging students in a way where learning is organic. Natural. Fun. When I was in school, we didn’t have ai, but when I was asked a question on an exam “what is Jane Eyre’s aunt’s maiden name” I lost all respect for the teacher and shut off.

A truly good teacher not only has a mastery of the material, they have a compelling and creative way of delivering the content. Class becomes a page turner. I want to keep reading to find out what’s next.

Such people are rare, but they share similarities. First, they form meaningful relationships with students. Beyond surface level things like “what’s your pet’s name”. Relationships where students come to the teacher for life advice. Teachers who also do things like go to student events and cheer for them. Like a tennis match or a piano recital.

Good course design is critical. Grades can not be a punishment or something which causes students stress. Grades are the number one reason students cheat. And why wouldn’t they? I hate this thing, and I need straight A’s to get into that prestigious school (where I will continue to cheat). Perhaps we should just rid of grades all together.

Now, when I say its matter of teachers not doing X, I’m not blaming them. But ai is on the doorstep, and short of turning schools into more of police states, the only way to change is for teachers to change. And it works. There are those of us who have shaped ourselves this way since before ai was an issue.


The article mentions counter measures and multiple warheads, but many nuclear warheads are cluster munitions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_munition?wprov=sfla1

The belief that it is remotely possible to several of these at once is just plain insane.


Don’t tell me it’s building a case from scratch unless there is a foundry involved. Fucking bullshit.



What do you mean apple Intelligence powered by deepseek? Apple intelligence powers itself. Straight out of steve jobs’ ass


Check out ollama.com You can download a whole bunch of models for free. The way I rum ollama is on linux from the cli, but if you can’t do it that way try jan.ai


Unrelated, but I hate when people use percentages like that. You are welcome for my unsolicited opinion


Is the point the store exists or is the point the store is good? The issue is apple’s monopoly. Not how much epic eucks dick


It isn’t about indvidual privacy. It’s about not further empowering the wealthy and the entities that serve them. I’m disappointed with Mozilla, but this seems to have become par for the course



Hit the nail right on the head for what they want. Why do you think they are making laws to ban porn? It’s a hide behind think of the children to get your foot in the door to control more



In Ford v. Chevy, there is now a front runner for the shittiest.



Join the boy’s club to advance your career


Can’t argue with that. The ones with the big ball on the top are especially good because you can use an 8 ball


The majority of regular folks will only ever upgrade when they get a new computer. Most Me Maw’s and Pa Paw’s would sooner let their computers catch fire from being loaded with cat than get a new one. Hell. They are all still using ball mice.

As for me, as long as I have an iso I’ll happily run it in a vm. Indefinitely.




Those answers were given in good faith under the presumption that they would be read and used by another person. Not used to train something to remove the interactions which motivated the answer in the first place.


Hopefully spamming 0 or constantly yelling operator will still get you one of the very few people that still work there


Take it on good faith that I won’t bible beat you. I’m genuinely curious. What are things about windows that are ‘far from perfect’ as you put it? What would you do to change them, and if you could wave a magic wand and change whatever you want, what would you change?



You could probably install linux bare metal on your computer, and daily drive windows 7 in a vm. Good luck getting compatible software anymore, but if you can, create an image and you are set for the foreseeable future


If it is like mine, it’s the update itself. It says something like hardware not supported and gives you a big ol’ Fuck You
