Correct. And yet it costs money to do this. So to get pre-funding money, you either need to already be rich, or have public interests funding it.

As someone who has illegible handwriting, it's what saved me in college. I could remember what I wrote but I couldn't go back and study from it.

They took a nugget of truth and ran with it. Rote learning is bad if it replaces understanding. But I wouldn't survive adulthood if I didn't rote memorize addition and times tables.

The only time I ever use cursive is on forms. It's called my signature. I can't imagine closing on a house without being able to at least write my name in cursive. For everything else, I hand print non-cursive. I'm slow with either, so it's of no benefit.

That's not what makes education expensive. And learning languages that influence later languages (Latin) is the type of metalearning that prepares you for higher education. And helps if you're in a STEM field too, since so much language is borrowed from there.

It doesn't even make sense. Mashing discrete buttons requires very little precision. It might require reflexes and fast-twitch muscle fiber movement, but those aren't even the muscles used for fine control, I don't think.

Note-taking for memory/learning is much better handwritten. In fact, I never studied in college but on tests I could remember the layout and some of the contents of my handwritten notes without even seeing them a second time. That muscle movement is a second path to memory formation. So jotting something down you need later can actually help you not to need the written note later.

Today, I still keep track of my to-do lists on handwritten paper so that I can remember them.

For actual communication, I even hate texting because I want a full-size keyboard for typing. I am very slow at handwriting.

Correct

For the same reason that you never had any computers running Windows Chicago or Windows Longhorn. Except Kuiper got more widely covered in the press for a long time before launch.

Once they put their marketing claims out there, we can call them Leo the Lyin' (also in honor of them owning MGM).

If Slashdot would only just allow a bit more of the UTF-8 punctuation, life would be better for everyone.

I'm not going to respect a comment like this from someone who puts a space on either side of an em dash. Now tell me your take on the Oxford comma.

The best word is probably just "autoimmune." In an arms race between molecular mimicry by pathogens and the immune system, it's inevitable that the immune system sometimes gets trained to defeat something that looks like a good cell and creates antibodies that target both the disease and the healthy cell.

It's likely that all autoimmune diseases are related to pathogen exposure/infection.

And now you loop us back full circle.

If they don't put limits on this, they may find themselves with zero employees and no one left to implement their AI future.

Even if I loved a job, it would be hard to say no to that.
