I think the obvious counter to an influx in bug reports / pull requests is to have the first layer of review of bug reports / pull requests to be AI as well.

Final remains humans.

I dunno, if that's how people vote, that's how it should be.

Though there is a big question of how they plan to run a vote with multiple options. I hope it's a Condorcet system to avoid the risk of watering down one side with similar competing options...

Note that these two things are not the same. Cancelling a contract does not necessarily remove or deactivate a camera.

The cameras were installed as part of the contract with the municipality (city. state, county, fed, etc.) but are owned and operated by Flock. The cancellation of the contract just means ending the payments for access to the Flock system. It would take further action to order the removal/deactivation of the cameras. Flock is still watching, and other police forces can still use the data they are collecting.

If your municipality says it is "cancelling its contract with Flock", make sure they are actually removing the cameras, not just agreeing to stop subscribing to the Flock system.

The devil is in the details.

When I started in tech, the cycle was Bay Area to New York City to Bay Area.

You could talk your way into an entry level position in a Bay Area tech company just by being available and willing to learn. You could grow your skills but became pigeon-holed as an expert in a narrow function, and unable to progress to a mid-career job.

You had to go east to break that barrier. The companies in NYC were desperate for tech talent, and would take someone with a few years of bay area tech experience as a team leader or senior analyst.

A few years of being responsible for results in a NYC company gave you the opportunity to move back and take a management or senior developer position in a west-coast tech company (CA or WA).

Some of us even took detours thru Texas or Atlanta instead of NY, but the pattern held.

Don't read too much into tech people moving around the country at different stages of their careers, it is just the way it works.

I like it warmer, but his is not what happens. More energy in the system means more extreme events, both cold and hot, wetter and drier.

Increased CO2 levels boost plant growth and size, but does not increase essential minerals and protein, resulting in less nutritious crops.

People see "bigger" and think "better" ...but it is actually "worse".

Oh, but surely they'll win, they indicted [strike]a ham sandwich[/strike] this man! And the Trump administration has such a spectacular record with high-profile prosecutions thusfar...

That is where they have him. He did not invoke his 5th amendment right and remain silent... he gave the federal investigators false information which he knew would result in the destruction of any potential evidence on his device.

If you refuse to give the CBP the password, they will hold you for questioning. They will tell you that you have no choice and that you must give them the password. This is a lie, but they are allowed to lie to you. They cannot refuse entry to a US citizen. They cannot hold you indefinitely (I think they are still bound by the 72 hour limit). They must return your device to you. They can hold it for a few days (and presumably make a clone or try to hack it), but they must return it to you. They will lie to you about all of this. Your attorney will tell you the truth. Demand an attorney, and remain silent until your attorney advises you to speak.

That is not what they found. What they found is that if you spend 60 minutes doing the homework with AI, you learn approximately as much as someone who spends 60 minutes doing it without AI. If you spend 20 minutes doing it with AI, you learn as much as someone who spends 20 minutes doing it without AI. Etc. The only real difference is that the AI people get way better homework scores, and as a result, tend to stop spending as much time, and thus tend to learn less.

That's what this preprint study found.

100% this. Even a short 5-minute quiz with just a couple questions at the start of each day will do the trick. But you simply can't rely on homework scores to be a proxy of learning or time spent studying anymore. Brief daily quizzes on the previous day's material will force them to.

Also, It's not like students have the excuse of, "I couldn't study, I didn't have anyone to explain X to me" anymore. The very AI that they might otherwise use to cheat on their homework can also explain to them the things they missed in last year's algebra class that are blocking them from learning this year's calculus, or whatnot. Congrats - you now have an infinitely patient personal tutor who will spend hours dumbing things down for you until you get it. Now you have no excuse - learn the material. It becomes all about actually putting the time in.

Yeah. There's been widespread misrepresentation of this (preprint!) in the media. What they actually found: test scores correspond to how much time you spend doing homework, regardless of whether you use AI or not. Which should not be a surprising result! Of course, the AI people, esp. those who had been using AI for more than a few months, stopped spending much time on their homework, and then their test scores fell to match the non-AI users who didn't spend much time in their homework either.

The TL/DR is, in today's age, you cannot use test scores as a proxy of how much time a user is studying or knows the material.

There are of course some caveats, beyond the fact that it's just a preprint - notably that there's nothing to separate why the user started using AI to do their homework, so there's potential confounders in there. For example, if a student is in a poor family, maybe they had to get a job to help pay the bills. But working a job itself can lower test scores - for example, having to work late the night before an exam. So there are some confounder problems with the study. That said, I'm sure the general conclusion is correct: time spent doing the thing = amount of learning the thing (relatively independent of what tools you're using in the process).

Well, not that shocked.

Using an AI to do your homework gets the homework done without you learning the subject. Then you fail the exam.

Yeah, not shocked at all.

He is famous for getting really really rich as a streamer -and for not turning into a dickhole once he was rich.

Apparently he is actually doing nice things for people with his money (and making even more money doing so.)

Not to be confused with Mr Beast...

Cheap clone gonna cheap clone.

If YouTube wants an exclusive deal with certain creators they can pay for it. Make them a contract offer.

The existing YouTube TOS is a non-exclusive agreement. Netflix is offering a non-exclusive licensing agreement. The two are fully compatible.

Threatening vague consequences for creators who choose to follow the terms of their existing agreements is... problematic.
