I'm saying it shouldn't matter because while I buy 5 and they buy 5000, their budget is guaranteed to be more than 1000 times mine.

I have already been over this.

Ok so you order your laptops with one usb port, a power port and one HDMI port because that's all you need then? These components are such a small cost. At one time they would just be thrown in to make the device as practical for the customer as they could while keeping the cost reasonable. We are talking about $5 here.. even with my meager salary I don't care about $5. Maybe if these trillion dollar companies care about saving money more than I do then we really need to look at why these corporations don't care about the consumer any more and ask ourselves if this is the path we want to walk down.

It's making life harder for customers for pennies.

That statement is not "fine". That statement follows a logical structure that may be correct, but there's nothing "fine" about a department responsible for preventing the spread of disease promotes an ideology by explicitly making a change that fuels vaccine hesitancy among the public.

There's a lot more to statements, such as human interpretation than simply logic would ... wait ... have you been screened for autism?

Wakefield. Andrew Wakefield. And because he was English he was discredited, barred from his profession and had to *checks notes* flee to the USA where he can continue spreading his bullshit to people who would listen. Heck if he were American I'd expect he would have RFK Jr's job right now.

I wouldn't leave math to anyone anymore at this point https://science.slashdot.org/s...

And yet you constantly used the term "lying". I have a feeling you didn't understand the parent's comment at all if you don't understand why it was a direct rebuttal to your point.

I do not care. I just don't want another way for companies to screw me over.

This shows you have no idea what agents are. Agents act on your behalf *under you instruction*. No they aren't self-managing or judgement making. They are task completing. Ultimately an AI agent is akin to AI how a Macro is akin to an Excel formula. You create agents to do specific things with specific criteria. And they many orders of magnitude more useful than generic LLMs.

When has "supported" ever been a synonym for "getting the latest features retrospectively"? Oh right, UID in the 10million, another entitled GenZer.

Huh? With ... like a cable? What is this the 90s? On Windows my phone is just there as a device available in Explorer at all times while it's on the WiFi. This is why it's still not year of the Linux on desktop.

Except that seems to be the opposite of what is being said in TFA which is that colleges are putting effort into bringing students up to spec so they *can* pass. Have you considered enrolling in a college? Maybe they'll make you take a basic English comprehension class to help you along.

This is so incredibly elitist and dumb it's amazing. No a college's job is to tech the subject. Whether they aid that by giving people the opportunity to have a head start is irrelevant. Simply blocking people out of an education because they came from a system that put them on the back foot leaves you with yet another elitist tiered system that promotes inequality.

Heck if colleges didn't provide non-college sources I would never have turned into an engineer. I didn't select the necessary pre-requisites in high-school. Having the ability to do highschool bridging courses in math, chemistry and physics allowed me to ultimately enrol in engineering, something your idea would have blocked me from despite the fact that I graduated top of my school for the subjects I did do.

But I guess fuck me because I wanted a career change.

No in this case new math was very much the problem. No one had issues with the standards that preceded it.
