Fark is a link aggregator, but curated by angry leftist boomers and... well I'm not really sure anyone else is there. This was the first time I visited there since before the Iraq War.

If rsilvergun likes it... I feel compelled to hate it.

The AI bubble will hurt retail investors the most. A few VCs will lose their fortunes but most will skate. Masayoshi Son at Softbank might be forced out.

I learned assembly on the Z80, it is super accessible and fun to use. So glad future generations will get to experience the push and pop of a memory stack firsthand.

Here's a good place to start: The Intercollegiate Studies Instituteâ(TM)s American Civic Literacy Program ran the strongest data set here. In fall 2005 and fall 2006, researchers at the University of Connecticutâ(TM)s Department of Public Policy tested roughly 14,000 freshmen and seniors at 50 colleges on a 60-question multiple-choice exam covering American history, government, foreign affairs, and market economics. Seniors scored lower than freshmen on some questions by 5.7 percentage points, illustrating negative learning while at college, and more than 75 percent of college seniors could not identify the purpose of the Monroe Doctrine. ï¼ Overall, seniors failed all four subjects on average, with an overall score of 53.2%.

Everyone is worried about securing memory since AI servers are hoovering up a huge amount, plus all the spending on AI capex for data centers in general. This is all going to crash soon; Ed Zitron has the receipts at his blog: https://www.wheresyoured.at/le...

Practically speaking, this means that small perturbations in the supply chain pricing will have huge downstream effects. IBM's stock price is one of the first hints at what is to come.

In the United States, as long as youâ(TM)re not asking someone to leave based on a protected status, there are almost no limits to asking someone to leave the property. You donâ(TM)t have to give any reason whatsoever. The bigger problem for stores is that this can do huge reputational damage if they become known for booting people erroneously.

As someone who spent ten years in academia and has published several scientific papers, I can tell you that the bias is real and pervasive because peer review relies on a small group of experts who have incentives to collude, either explicitly or implicitly.

In academic journals, you're going to have a very small number of people who are considered well versed enough in the material to serve as a reviewer. However, those same reviewers are the 'old guard' of a field who have reputation and financial incentives to prevent the publication of anything which disproves their own research and theories. They are fighting for the same grants, tenure positions (or better tenture positions at more prestigious institutions), for endowed chairs etc etc.

This is a well-documented problem across academia and you can look it up yourself, but I'll give you one anecdote: a friend of mine was a rising star in attention research and had done some groundbreaking work on the way that humans allocate attention. He was seeing significantly impvoed outcomes for children with ADHD especially.

However, an older researcher at a rival Ivy-league school had an opposing theory, and was also the head of peer review for the three journals on attention in which my colleague would need to publish to get this widely understood and accepted. This 'well regarded' older researcher came up with absolute bullshit reasons to reject his paper from all three of the journals, going so far as to ban him from publishing in one of the journals for a year claiming my colleague was authoring 'dangerously wrong theories'. (Yeah, dangerous to your reputation maybe)

If you believe that collusion and bias are not present in peer review, you haven't taken into account the tight-knit research communities and the collusion they create.

Science is done by humans, who have bias. It is reviewed by humans, who have bias. It is reported by humans, who have bias. Making science an idol is how you get grifters and charlatans cloaking themselves in Science (TM)

You have been bamboozled. Many colleges have been documented to have students leave stupider on all sorts of subjects, from math to civics, compared to when they arrived.
 
And many college professors who teach subjects ending in Studies - insert your favorite world ahead of it - openly lie to their students to make them good little radicals instead of well-formed and curious minds.
 
And stop posting AC, it is tedious.

College is no longer equal to learning. Sometimes it is the opposite. Go get educated, but do not let colleges get in the way of that.

The problem with that XKCD about Covid cases are the number of deaths and serious injuries caused by the mRNA shot itself. Cherry-picking statistics is fun but rarely truthful.

Back in 2013, ages and ages ago, Facebook purchased parse.com, a backend as a service platform that had tens of thousands of projects and apps running on it. It was very similar to Google Firebase product or what is now AWS. As soon as Mark Zuckerberg lost interest, they open sourced it and shuttered all the servers and infrastructure that was running it. Massive headaches for two companies I worked with back then.
 
Anyone who uses any product from Meta is a fool, because they have no oversight to keep the project running other than the whims of one lizard person.

You will not find any positive feedback to making historical claims here on /.! If you do not sufficiently give obedience to the socialist totalitarian worldview here, repeating the anti Trump incantations and accepting the holy shibboleths, you will be downloaded into oblivion for saying even the most obvious things.
