Submission + - Tech Giant-Supported Study Chastises K-12 Schools for Lack of AI + CS Education
theodp writes: Coinciding with Computer Science Education Week and its flagship event the Hour of AI, tech-backed nonprofit Code.org this week released the 2025 State of AI & Computer Science Education report, chastising K-12 schools for the lack of access to AI and CS education and thanking its funders Microsoft, Amazon, and Google for supporting the report's creation.
"For the first time ever," Code.org explains, "the State of AI + CS Education features a state-by-state analysis of AI education policies, including whether standards and graduation requirements emphasize AI. The report continues to track the CS access, participation, and fundamental policies that have made it a trusted benchmark for policymakers, educators, and advocates."
The report laments that "0 out of 50 states require AI+CS for graduation," adding that "access to CS has plateaued" at 60% nationwide, with Minnesota and Alaska bringing up the rear with a woeful 34%. However, flaws with the statistic on which the K-12 CS education crisis movement was built — the "Percentage of Public High Schools Offering Foundational Computer Science" — become apparent with just a casual glance at the data underlying Minnesota's failing 34% grade. Because that metric neglects to take into account school sizes — which of course vary widely — the percentage of schools offering access to CS can be vastly different than the percentage of students attending schools offering access to CS. So, when Code.org reports that only 33% of the three Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools offer access to CS, keep in mind that left unreported is that more than 95% of students in the district attend the one Prior Lake-Savage Area School that does offer access to CS, which is a far less alarming metric. Code.org reports that Prior Lake High School (2,854 students, per NCES records) offers access to CS, while Prior Lake-Savage Area ALC (93 students) and Laker Online (45 students) do not. And that, kids, is today's lesson in K-12 CS education access crisis math, where 95% (2,854 students/2,992 students) can equal 33% (1 school/3 schools)!

That is complete nonsense. The new implementation will have bugs as well. And because it is far less mature, they will be worse.

The spec is not for competing implementations. The spec is for assuring properties of code. Something critically important in secure coding. Yes, many people do not understand that, but most people do not understand what secure coding actually means. Yes, the implementation may still have bugs, but with a spec you can reliably find out whether something is a bug or not.

Did I claim renewables were "CO2 free"? No, I did not. And they are not.
The point is: the intrinsic method of energy generation is CO2 free. The rest is dependent on the "state of technology".
What a nice lie by misdirection you have there. Protip: By that measure, _all_ energy generation forms can be made CO2 free. You are just pushing nonsense.
In the real world, the one which you do not live in, it matters how much CO2 gets released, no matter why, per amount of energy generated.

What a stupid way to argue. Apparently you are entirely unfamiliar with the concept of "giants die slowly". But a smart person (you obviously do not qualify) can see what will happen well in advance.

If you're bringing any of this into a forum that is exclusively about programming, then 100% you're doing it wrong. I don't care whether you are in favor of it or entirely against it.
Sites like this it's fine, because this site explicitly includes such topics. This is why I openly shit on rsilvergun and drinkypoop here, even though IRL I really have nothing to say to communofascists like them.
