Meanwhile, I've spent all day following up on a student pulling up ChatGPT in a CS final exam I proctored yesterday. Even with recorded video evidence the school still requires I spend days on this process and get the student to accept any penalty I give out. Must be nice to be at Stanford.
In 2022, only 5,661 students in the USA were asked to take the test, and only 4552 students took the Core assessment. There are 77 MILLION students in the USA.
This Is The Dumbest Goddamn Thing You Can Say About Statistics
I can walk or take the transit around NYC and see a hundred or a thousand people on the phone and not one case.
"Nobody ever goes there anymore. It’s too crowded." -- Yogi Berra
Whatever books you ban, every single kid in your state now will find a list of them and read them on their iPhone.
Speaker at my college: "You have to accept that students don't read books, and they never will ever again."
Respectfully, a well-designed unit is one that is scaled to avoid conversions in the most common use-cases.
I'd say that more important than that is the ability to estimate and communicate on the fly without any artificial tools available.
Sure, and that's what we see in UML, for example.
It seems like the mental design process is more (a) describe the data we need here, then (b) decide on what type it should be (as a college CS instructor I'm keenly aware of this).
Related and more importantly, return types should be at the end of a function declaration; that seems like kind of a no-brainer (following the same mental design process).
I agree with pretty much all this except that the word "species" is itself singular -- "a class of individuals having common attributes and designated by a common name" (Merriam-Webster).
One would assume the employees aren't actually working harder...
That's exactly what they're saying here.
"Everything else in the world comes with a warranty and some sort of performance guarantee"
I can tell you're not reading any of your software licenses.
You sadly dropped a decimal place there.
I'm really surprised that the conversation about Musk isn't, by default, his obvious constant drug-addled state. This is the first I've seen anyone broach the subject, and it's appreciated. If the world made sense this would be the first boilerplate paragraph of every article about the guy.
Experience on the ground says:
(1) The combination of free + open admissions (U.S. community colleges have no entrance requirements aside from high school diploma) means that most of the resources are spent on students entirely unable to do college work, and just cruise to nowhere until the free money runs out (graduation rates hover around 20%).
(2) Many folks have heard students say that they didn't start taking their classes seriously until the free money ran out, and they had to start paying out of pocket.
I'd be in favor of free college OR open admissions, but trying to do both makes for a system that's mostly wasted effort.
whoooooosh
Living on Earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the Sun.
