You stupid gamergate moron. This is why you can't get laid. You can't even remember the bitches you were white-knighting.

At present, no. I've done a number of experiments with LLMs' capabilities with generating fiction, and while they are impressive for a beginner writer -- because fo the lack of spelling and grammar mistakes, they are nowhere near being able to write competent fiction.

This is because they don't model reader or character minds, they're based on word probabilities, like a predictive text keyboard. The engineers can compensate for for this to a surprising degree by feeding it data to recognize specific situations (e.g. the car wash is 100 feet from my driveway; should I drive or walk?). But this is turd-polishing.

AI technology practice isn't foundational. Critical thinking is. The closer AIs come to being able to do something that looks like them doing our thinking for us, the more capable we have to be at thinking without them. A human who can't outthink an AI adds nothing to an AI-human partnership.

This proposed school is a typical scheme by people who think because they have been educated, they understand how the education works. This is like thinking because you eat, you know how to cook. Project work in education is nothing new; it goes back well over a century. And in real life, you may get a STEM degree, but your real education in engineering comes from real life work. But that doesn't mean classes in calculus and physics don't do anything for you.

Or English classes, for that matter. Nobody doubts the value of project work in education, particularly *androgogy* -- the education of adults. But for *pedagogy* you have to establish foundational skills as the student matures intellectually and socially. Entering the high school years, a typical student has had *no* training in critical thinking skills. To develop critical thinking skills in an area, you need both general skills (epistemologicla literacy: research, location of orignial sources, dealing with conflicting evidence) and domain specific training in that area. In other words, *liberal arts* training is foundational in an AI-saturated world. "Liberal Arts" -- from *artes liberales*: literally the skills necessary to be a free person.

But I think these people have at least got the problem right: as AI drives the cost of elaborate projects down, we all have more projects in our future. Big, elaborate, faultlessly plausible-looking projects which may or may not have actual value.

Where they are completely wrong is the solution, which is to organize education around practicing using AI to make impressive projects. In a word of AI-enamored dunces this will put you at the head of a very sorry class of ignoramuses. The answer is to build fundamental cognitive and intellectual skils at every stage of a student's development. Project work is surely part of that, but it's just a technique, not a solution.

In a nutshell, the academy is training students to be the next step down the evolutionary scale from code monkeys. More like the pigeons B.F. Skinner trained in WW2 to peck at a screen, in an attempt to create a primitive guided missile without computers. They want to create "main characters"; and they'll probably create a few. There are always a few natural autodidacts in any moderately large group. But what they are set up is to produce a bunch of fragile, economically privileged narcissists trained to cover their lack of education with impressive-looking AI slop.

Flat taxes are regressive because the poor spend more of their money on necessities, unless you then issue corrections in which case there's no benefit to doing a flat tax because it doesn't save you any effort.

I"m getting so tired of this perineal complaint.....

So what?

Everyone needs to have skin in the game. The very very poor get EBT, so, there's their help...and if you wanted make food taxes a bit lower but other than that....have everyone have skin in the game and pay flat tax or fair tax or whatever you want to call it.

Well no, it's not just entertainment. News is in the deal also, specifically CBS and CNN.

Well if they even just brought CBS and CNN more towards center and away from left...that might even things up more....the left will still have NBC, ABC, MSNOW (or whatever they go by now) and most of the major news papers and other new sources.

A bit more balance would be nice.

I've seen enough videos of yahoos expressing their "rationale" for voting for Trump, that I wonder if AI and chatbot recommendations might be an improvement.

It was simple....better choice than cackling Kamala....

More evidence has been presented publicly that Trump fucked kids than was necessary to convict Cosby or Weinstein. There are more accusers, too.

Citations please?

Surely there are valid new stories about such by major networks, major news sources?

Interesting....I've never had a separate app like the mentioned yubikey or bitwarden....new to me too.

I rarely use or have to use the 2FA which is just generally a text message with a code....

You're right, they could have made that choice. However, they would have priced themselves out of the market, as while they would have gained a small uptick in 'I want a cool Linux computer' sales, they would have faced a massive loss in 'I want a game console' and 'I want a Blu-Ray player' sales, which were the two primary drivers of PS3 sales.

Console price is king. There's a reason Sony's entire console launch presentation for the original PlayStation at E3 in 1995 was, and I quote, '$299.'

You can find it on YouTube, if you're interested.

You think that's baffling, what about all of the people who voted for Trump twice, after they already knew he fucks kids?

People keep repeating that nonsense about kids a Trump lately.....with no proof whatsoever .

I mean, where do you get that? There's no idicement or charges or any evidence anyone has brought forward.

If it were even remotely true....do you not think the Dems when in power under Biden would not have ensnared him with even charges on that?

Time-based One Time Password. You and the server have a copy of a shared secret. The secret combined with the current UTC time (in blocks of 30 seconds typically) is hashed to produce a 4 digit code that you enter as a second authentication factor. Without the secret, even knowing the current TOTP code isn't enough for you to predict future ones.

Thank you!!

I guess this hasn't made it to the US yet.....

Unless the watch can initiate chest compressions and AED functions, simply calling emergency services when you lose your pulse isn't going to accomplish anything.

Parents are fucking useless at protecting kids

Back a few decades ago, when the nuclear family was the norm, and was fully supported by society AND govt.....you had better parents and better child outcomes by far.....kids do better with a mother and a father to raise them.

I grew up in that era.....and my generation has faired quite well.....we also were able to give kids freedom to be kids, learn independence, etc....no such thing as helicopter parents.

And then they pulled the Linux support when they realized how many people were buying PS2s for Linux, and not buying games, thus costing Sony money under the 'razors and blades' paradigm.

I just don't shop at Walmart...in person or online....so, it's never been a problem.
