Comment Who is Samuel Tunick? (Score 1) 150

If you use Google or other mainstream search engines you can't find out who Samuel Tunick is or what his activism is centered around. The cop city protests are way more important than most Americans realize as they constitute what is essentially a domestic military occupation. Unlike military bases, these are meant to suppress the general population in mass.

The Guardian reported in February that surveillance cameras hidden in utility boxes mounted on light poles had begun appearing outside the homes of âCop Cityâ(TM) activists. In other instances, activists have been pulled over after leaving an organizing event with Fire Ant Movement Defense. In March, Atlanta police officers âoeharassedâ attendees at a fundraiser for formerly-incarcerated Black Panther Dhoruba Bin-Wahad, who is battling lung cancer.

Comment Maybe written and timed tests aren't the answer? (Score 1) 109

The goal should be learning, not necessarily performance on a timed and written test. Grades really shouldn't be competitive either. We need to establish mechanisms of evaluation that determine a student's mastery of a topic without high pressure, high stakes tests. Class discussions, (hand) written essays, individual and group projects. Basically, AI is a reality now, just like we don't make calculus students do long division, autoregressive generative text is a tool you can't prevent. So, ask the student interesting questions the AI would be incapable of answering correctly. And, perhaps that's the real problem. If the AI is more knowledgeable, discerning and insightful than the instructor such that the instructor can't ask questions that challenge it, then why are they the instructor?

Comment Re: Grabage in / Garbage out, Continue using VIM. (Score 1) 57

I was fairly opposed to AI coding based on experience, but I've found the recent models more useful. I don't really mind what tools anyone uses as long as humans genuinely review all the code. Neovim is approaching "done" as a project with some longstanding "would be nice," features. I'd love to see those actually get implemented and if AI helps give the developers more energy for it then that's ok for me.

Comment Core fans? (Score 1) 92

I read the only redeeming quality of this movie is that Grogu is cute and that otherwise it could just be spliced together from the series. This is more a betrayal of their core fans in favor of the mythical 'more fans.' The story could have provided some substance and world building without alienating anyone. They chose to write by committee and probably AI, which is producing the expected result.

It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
