Overall I agree. I am an American. The US people still have an outsized notion of US strengths. But you undersell a few of US strengths. I propose that the US is still a world leader in the following fields: Software; Food production; Naval warfare; Entertainment.

On the other hand, I don't agree the US is the world leader in chips (microelectronics). The world leader seems to be TSMC.

Great video. After watching, I feel pretty good about the strips and also the software. What does European ATC do?

Hi Gweihir, I totally agree. Your approach of no in-class internet (like the old days, one page of notes) scales pretty well and seems the best way for larger classes. How do you eliminate people putting their cell phones in their lap and looking things up? Here we do oral exam for the post-graduates. That format does scale. For our senior undergraduate courses, we do a class project. Also does not scale. Thank you for your insightful response. Maybe in education we got this but it is fluid.

Agree. Before COVID, we had in-room closed book tests. During COVID, we moved to oral exams. We still do oral exams. It takes more time, but it is more effective.

Righteous and correct. But needs proofreading.

Yes I can imagine. I have taught for over 20 years. The youth of today are good and strong. They are the ones who will define what our current era means.

No mod points, but +5 Funny! Thank you for the laugh.

Amen

The manufacturer seems to have security problems. Maybe aggressors are adding backdoors for the CCP (or NSA) or maybe bad design allows mafia to exploit. We need transparency. Open hardware, open software. We may get there sometime, hope it is soon.

This entry is not news that matters, nor is it news for nerds. But it does qualify as stuff. TFS is useless. TFA, at first glance MoffettNathanson is a firm that advises VCs on where to (invest|lose|launder) their money and this is their press release. Please lets avoid.

Agree on both. But we may compromise on "adequate grammar correctors." My non-native English speaking colleagues feel they help.

IME, both statements are true. The real world use case is proofreading English language for non-native English speakers.

I'm in the 50% that have never tried an LLM. Many of my colleagues use them regularly for proofreading.

I'm tempted by automated meeting summary/minutes. But until the security and privacy issues are addressed, no thank you.

LOL, @bill_mcgonigle delivers!

> No company I've ever seen would run anything on a second hand server. The cost in maintaining that, in downtime, and in finding parts even needed, would be far higher than buying a new server.

Agree @1s44c.

A used server could work well for small businesses, non-profits or organizations do not need much IT support. The original poster could clarify.

Suppose you have 20k servers in two data centers. You need and have real-time disaster recovery. Those servers are mission critical. Would you not be interested how to migrate data from one server to the other? My organization requires new server hardware every 3 years. The vendor guarantees spare parts. Bill, Shooter of Bul mentioned power consumption. It is important on the spreadsheet, and we consider. But the survival of our organization is the priority.
