Read through the comments in that telegram post, the amount of denial is staggering, the amount of cheerful propaganda is even greater, but there were some worried notes gleaming through all that cheerleading, where someone hoped they would still have a job later on. Someone thinks that the things may not turn out so well, they think that out of all of the options they may end up with the option I listed as number one here https://slashdot.org/comments....

what I can tell you from the very tone of this cheerful post, they do not have all of the necessary components and it will not be simple at all. Obviously they will try to launch Proton in December as scheduled by trying to do it without the service cabin, there is maybe a way, a bunch of wooden planks and ropes, who knows. The number of ways this may end up disasterous for the launch are too many to be listed here.

competing with spaceX is tough indeed, how exactly would you propose the Chinese bill uncle Sam for billions, consistently launching empty oversized buckets that burn up while delivering a banana to the Indian ocean?

They don't forget - they simply don't think the same rules the unwashed masses are required to live under should apply to them.

Consider that maybe they won't work at Starbucks, a scarier thought given the lowered standards in some institutions.

John Money was the first of the batshit legion (that I'm aware of; his entire oeuvre sickens me so pardon if I haven't delved too deeply) to believe gender was distinct from actual sex.

"My deeply flawed views" are the facts that stand unchanging, despite fads.
Humans are either xx or xy chromosomes, producing large or small gametes respectively.

The tiny percent that aren't that, are mutations that happened to survive, like people being born without eyes or legless or conjoined. None of them are to be brutalized, none of them are to be treated with anything but respect and sympathy; it doesn't make them normal except insofar as 'mutations' in heterosexual reproduction are normal.

Give up; your bullshit carried through the crazy-years of 2020-2024, but nature is healing. Fucked up ideological gaslighting is fading before things like actual facts. We're calling MAPs pedophiles again, and people are recognizing how wrong were the lies that fueled Mengele-like brutal transgender experiments on CHILDREN, ruining their fucking lives. You can't "undo" castration chemicals given to prepubescent teens. You can't just wear a girl-mask and insist you're a woman. If you believe that, you need help and counseling, not endorsement.

It's like they spent all their time on cutesy little behaviors versus doing the hard work of building an actual functional digital assistant.

Anyone other than me get annoyed when you try to ask Siri something and, midway through while you're still talking, Siri decides to interject "Uh huh?" It's incredibly irritating and distracting. And then, 75% of the time, Siri either does the wrong thing or silently just goes away without doing anything.

This guy put together and managed a crappy team that probably should be let go in its entirety. I'm sure he's got a nice retirement package though, nice work if you can get it.

News for Nuns.

But who is the third nun?

If you are really smart, yes. You will understand that. Most of my students limit LLM use, also because they have to pass an exam without. But less smart ones? They will just become dependent and learn nothing.

Plato was wrong on this one. He was not wrong to generally be skeptical of tools. A tool needs to prove its adequacy and usefulness before it sees general deployment. LLMs have not done that in the education space.

There is evidence right in the story. I guess you have terminal AI brain-rot.

This is exactly what any smart educator expected and the smarter students do too. A lot of mine are not using AI or using it only very carefully.

What we will increasingly see is a large divide between good and bad students. Not a surprise at all.

Well, the house of cards they have build is crumbling. Absolutely no surprise.

It is just called being professional and wanting a long-term future for your business. Boeing is all shot-term greed and incompetence.

From my understanding, yes. Crime support is the only thing that made crapto viable.
