How did we get from the question of if the story was appropriate for Slashdot (which it definitely is) to how the comment section turned into a bunch of racist rants? A series of events happened. A man is dead. If people can't focus on the facts, choosing instead to assume his color is somehow the reason, that is on the racists, not the editors.

Google should have simply allowed every developer to create an app store because the sooner one of them is malicious, the better.

Not sure why this was modded down here. This statement was made factually true once Google even allowed one 3rd party app store to exist.

I understood the video just fine. You don't understand the difference between performance and capability. You are also confusing training time with quality of training. AI models (models,not LLMs) continue to improve in *capability*, and nobody has suggested they have stopped improving or found any reason to believe that this exponential upward trend in capability has suddenly plateud.

So the "hype" was real (news flash ... if it was real it wasn't hype) but now ... Just a few months ago ... this year ... much more capable models didn't get released? That's an absurd claim. It sounds like you simply didn't know what the word capable means, and think it is about improvement in a single domain. Capability is about models used across domains. If a model doesn't improve at all in a single application domain (say code generation) the capability still improves dramatically if it improves in multiple other domains. You are also still making the same mistake they are making by equating the LLM with the model. They are talking about scaling, which has to do with model training time ... not capability ... then concluding that because scaling doesn't reduce training time exponentially that scaling doesn't improve model capability exponentially. Again, nobody ever claimed that it does.

It's only one semester, and a semester of the least important material of their university time.

Multiply the monthly cost of the policy that mandates first year freshman to live ON campus, along with every other related cost with forcing a student to attend college away from home, and "least important material of their university time" quickly turns into "I'm paying how much for this pointless shit?"

College isn't expensive. The marketing pimps abusing girl math to sell the Phi Cool Cats College Experience is what got corruptly expensive.

I think this actually sounds decent, giving the students an adjustment window, preserve the ability to completely fail if they really bomb out, and still the majority of their university years count for real and around the material people will actually care about in the real world.

Employers are going through an adjustment period right now. They're having to constantly adjust to the insane turnover in HR coming from the college gradumated generation who Didn't Earn It. Which mental crisis do you think society should be addressing? The very real one being created in the workplace driving Wisdom and Experience to quit in droves, or the manufactured one being coddled to death inside damn near every immature campus bubble?

Yeah. We do need an adjustment period in American education. Bring back the SATs. Fail and remove all who Didn't Earn It. Get back to education instead of political indoctrination. Know your role. A place of learning, is not a fucking daycare for the Reality-challenged. Not everyone needs to go to college. Especially those who considerably reduce the perceived value of everyone else getting a degree.

The Engineering department is done screwing in the light bulb. Took 27 student interns and three training sessions. Now they're left wondering..how many administrators does it take to screw up the definition of graduate?

Why not higher? Probably because the battery would go dead before they got to 30,000 feet. Gaining altitude requires work!

It does, but is there an advantage in acting as a glider for a portion of the trip after gaining that altitude? I'm guessing airspace clears up significantly above the altitude of paratroopers stepping out to work. Less air resistance too.

Titanium. Carbon fiber. It's hardly weight that's the issue with adding another 20' to that wingspan. It's keeping that aircraft profile fashionably thin for the target audience using ozempic-thin aircraft hangers as a fashion flex.

Correct - because it's below 1% and seems to be closer to zero and so not within the resolution of the chart.

Fair enough.

I'd still like the evidence of the end result of this policy.

Show the evidence of a 44 - 49% reduction rate in waste over 10+ years. That should equate to dozens of closed landfills closed by now, or equally obvious action.

If reusing is not possible, waste must be primarily recovered as materials (recycled), and secondarily recovered as energy.

Show the expected 10 - 20% increase in energy creation based off waste reduction expectations. This again should be easily represented somewhere.

I'm not picking on Finland here. Demanding to see the end result of any policy is what we should be doing with every program like this, no matter who is claiming what. It's a bit more socially acceptable than screaming "FUCKING LIAR!" every time you see someone from the government claiming to help, because Hindsight still sees 20/20 today. At the ripe old age of 742.

A spokesperson for Zuckerberg told Forbes that the yacht crew had been operating on a different radio channel and "the assist was already under way" by the time they discovered the broadcast.

Is there a valid reason a ship of that size was operating "on a different radio channel" that prevents them from hearing what was likely a distress signal? Do they vibe on meta-waves instead of radiowaves?

Hey there Yacht-tard Meatsach. You're still sailing the seas of Reality. Time to start acting like it, or perhaps legally prove why you're not. They mandate features in marine radios for the same damn reason they mandate a Captains license; safety.
