Perhaps it was in Greek or Hebrew?

or through scholarships to save tax money.
Well, you kind of save a little bit of money, which you do not give the government. But in fact you spent more money that way than just paying the taxes.
If you care about your bank account at the end of the tax year: you just pay the taxes and be done with it.

The situation where you shift with a small donation into the next lower tax bracket, AND save money is rather rare, and can only be a few hundred bucks.

That is utter nonsense, everyone in my final 5 years "high school" loved reading.
And as others mentioned Huckleberry Fin, we read that at age of 14 or 15. Of course it helped that every summer a TV show with the story ran.

On the other hand: most of us had at least 3 languages, and we read in all of them. At least 1 book per 14 days, about 2 books per month. Well, I was spared from the third language, as it was Latin, no one was fluent enough to really read it. We spent time with dictionaries to translate it.

Speaking of which, some people with dyslexia find that they it only affects English, and not Japanese or Chinese.

Dyslexia is basically a made up metric where teachers can punish students for not being good enough.

It is a well known fact that people who are good in reading only need to see the first one or two characters of a word, and the last one or two, and as long as the chars in the middle are the ones to be expected, and not completely random other chars: they read the words just fine, and do not notice the spelling/garbage in the middle.

Most dyslexia people are extremely good in reading. But they do not see their own spelling mistakes:
a) they know perfectly well what they have written, so reading it several times to see a mistake does not work
b) see above ... the "word pattern matching" happens on a different level than just chaining letters

If you have such reading skills, it is actually preventing you to really memorize how words are actually written. Because you do not care how they are written, when you read them.

As soon as you have an "alphabet" or abugida (Ethopian "alphabet" or Thai/Lao/Burmeese) that is more complicated than Roman/English: people realize instantly "oops, I do not know how to write this".

For example above: "Ethiopian" and "Burmeese", is red underlined. No idea what is wrong. Have to click on it to ask the spell checker ... a, Ethopian is missing an "i" ... now I saw it, but it is still red.

In Thai language a certain sound/word can only be written in a single way. There is no we're, were, where, etc.

Chinese is (laymen explanation) completely pictographic. Japanese uses about 1200 "pictograms" (yes, layman explanation, because not all of those "pictograms" are pictograms, there are also logograms and ideograms) ... and an syllable "alphabet".

And here you see what the difference is: "painting a Chinese character" is what this half sentence implied. You have to paint it. Completely different mental process to: writing a few English words. You instantly realize: oh my, I forgot how that character is painted. Or never new it anyway.

So, spelling mistakes could happen on the syllable alphabet level. However the typical error prone combinations as we have in English or German, simply do not exist in Japanese (or Korean). A single syllable is a single character. You simply can not mix that up, if you speak the language.

Of course, when you learn a pictogram, and miss a stroke: it is wrong. Misspelled, probably even misleading as it is a correct different word. Simplest examples: 1 is - and 2 is =. Obviously not a mistake one would make.

But look at the sequence: human, large/tall, dog (in Japanese). Forget one stroke in dog, and it becomes "large", forget one in large and it becomes human. But if you read it again: you see it is the wrong word (most of the time you see it)!

Asians lead in math because of their language advantage, not because of "better schools".
That is true for plenty of other languages, too.

Most Asian languages, count after ten, just like this:
ten one, ten two, ten three ... ten nine, twenty.

However in English (and German is the same), we say
eleven, twelve, three ten (thirteen), four ten (fourteen) ... nine ten (nineteen).

People who grew up withe "a malformed" number system (German, English, French) are statistically not as good in math as people who have a straight forward numbering system. The assumption is the brain has to rename the natural language into calculation tokens the "math apparatus" is using.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what your malformed "numbers" like ~3rdÃ"8th are about.

The amount of money your school district is paying per student: is absurd. Considering that the teachers probably have extremely bad payments ...

You do not have "a left" in your country, dumbass.

You have far right, and ultra far dumb right, and that is it.

People like you can not even say in three coherent sentences what it is that they consider left.

Public schools is left, right? Oh, you are confused about left and right?

But give me a book on the history of computing? Yes please!
What about, https://dl.acm.org/doi/book/10... (free account required).
This one I have: https://books.google.de/books/...

Are these the glasses the Visitors wore in V: The Miniseries?

Definitely not something a human would wear.

Do any adults actually use Snap? I thought it was just kids. Kids who have a few grand laying around these days?

Maybe they'll pair with an absurd Commodore flip phone.

On the other hand we may be seeing Malicious Compliance from Snap workers. If so, well played.

Or there are no workers and some LLM is running the whole thing.

So many possible ways this went horribly wrong.

Reading aloud to an audience is perhaps a one year period in school.

No idea what you want to say.

If I give a talk, I do not read, I just give a talk.

I have no kids, so I never was reading stories to them.

And when ever in your live does a person have to read anything aloud?

I had a notary appointment, 2 weeks ago: and he had to read aloud all the papers - by law - before me and my partners signed them.

And when else, does anyone need to read aloud? I did not at that appointment.

I was two times "best man" in a marriage. I had to read aloud something, and both times I was unprepared, and both times the couples did not come to the idea to tell me: Angelo, you should read that for us in the church.

First time, I thought it is my friends fault, not preparing me.

Second time (years later) I realized: I should have asked if they had prepared a speech.

So: in my humble opinion, reading aloud is not really a skill to measure a person.

As another example: vitamin C does pretty much nothing normally, but if you have scurvy, it's life-saving
That is double nonsense.
A) it is a no brainer that it would prevent scurvy - if you would not have a lack of it - oops
B) it is a majour part of the immune system - preventing break outs of viral infections

Stupid education system

I think the arrogance and idiocy is you.

None of those softwares uses javax.accessibility

It would not serve any purpose.

Because your fat fingers only touch your screen, and not the "enterprise software" running on the backend

The backend does not know anything about your screen, your mouse or your keyboard.

I do not have an idea for a game in my head.

But if you have one, we could team up.

I am pretty sure I make you a nice first try on the game, in no time - without AI if you like, or with.

Unfortunately: with AI development would likely not be much faster. Perhaps the initial eye catcher would be faster.

Disabilities are irrelevant for enterprise apps.

As no disabled person is interacting with the enterprise app.

The app is behind a user interface ... which has to cover disabilities.

Stupid idiots on the internet. Mentally disabled?

What the fark does my back end server have to do with noticing you can not read your computer screen

Nothing.

javax.accessibility
And other APIs are for desktop applications or tablet/phone where the DISABLED person needs HELP to interact with that SOFTWARE. The farking server behind your SCREEN does not know anything about your disability. At least not software wise.

Stupid slashdot knee jerk answer retards.

You can google that.

Seriously?

Why ask me who "inserted" AI into dating for example? There are "new" dating platforms that support AI matching.
Funny, that you are smart enough to come to the idea, but to stupid to google it.

Who is a household name leveraging AI to upend an established market
Every company. Are you stupid or what? They are automating their processes with AI.

No idea what you mean with "household", kitchenware? How the funk should I know anything about kitchenware/households?

Do you know Zeiss? The secret company behind ASLM? They subscribed 35k Gemini accounts.

And: that company is basically the sole single one company that produces the products they sell to ASLM.

In other words: they do not even have a competitor.

Like we'er all getting shot and killed,

Well, that has a reason. For example the killing spree in the 1990s where hundreds of tourists, many from Europe got murdered in Florida.

The "robbers" waited for clearly to identify rented cars, which had lost their way. When a car somewhere randomly stopped to ask for the way, the robber would instantly shot the persons in the car.

A german couple was attacked that way, the pregnant woman died, and the husband was accused and convicted for killing his wife.

That happened shortly after they left the rent a car area at the airport.

Just as if a man flies with his wife to America, lands on an airport, takes a rented car, suddenly owns a gun, drives into a preplanned "bad neighbourhood", stops somewhere, jumps out of the car, walks around it, shoots his wife, jumps in again, and drives around until he finds a hospital - but she is already dead.

The guy who killed her even was found by German private investigators.

That poor sod lost his wife, his child, and spent over 40 without guilt in prison.
