Yup. Although “avoid relying on writing and especially subjective long-form writing” is much more practicable.

Well then make the students clean and sterilise beakers. It only kills assignments in written form with limited supervision, the way I assume calculators and traditional algorithms changed a bunch of things before my time. Lots of professors and educators in general are making exactly that kind of change.

That means more lab time, it’s true, but it’s not the first time universities have had to expand their facilities. And at the other end think of all the savings on teaching writing.

And finally, if you’re cheating to get a degree in a field you don’t actually want to know anything about… Why?

It’s kind of unrelated, but money and prestige, probably. Caring about knowing for it’s own sake is depressingly rare.

It’s growing one. The dislike of bots and one-liner posts seems like it could actually stick around as a form of etiquette, although it’s too early to really say. A lot of readers will remember the poop post a couple years on, too, which counts.

The political bent and heavy tech-orientation are just a reflection of who the early adopters (and devs) are. Ditto for any extra civility or insight on the part of the people posting.

Yeah, I do worry about that. We haven’t seen much in the way of propaganda bots or even LLM scams, but the potential is there.

Hopefully, people will learn to be skeptical they way they did with photoshopped photos, and not the way they didn’t with where their data is going.

The situation of international anarchy in which individual states exist. Except there’s nobody dying in wars on Lemmy. And not even anyone dying indirectly yet, as far as I can tell, although any time you let people talk to each other there’s a continual risk of it happening.

Honestly, I have strong suspicions about how dumb and cliquey that space was. Normal people understand context and give each other leeway.

If ChatGPT can consistently do the needed activities without raising eyebrows, it’s kind of a redundant job anyway. If they’re posing problems that have little to do with the job, it’s a shit course.

Dealing with the way the world is is tough. I wish I could tell you how to feel better, but I can’t. Certainly not without knowing you, anyway.

Very few could actually totally isolate themselves, and there’s all kinds of people out there in the world that you’ll have to meet. On the other hand, maybe you’ll spend a more manageable amount of time being angry if you stay off of the internet.

It’s also important just to recognise why you’re angry. You’re probably thinking it’s obvious, but as therapists like to say, you’re feelings don’t come from other people’s actions, but what you think about them. So they’re bigots, what about it? People being bigots makes me sad, personally. And then, if there’s another way to look at things will depends on your values, and what you want out of life exactly.

Best of luck figuring it out.

So is it snake oil, or dangerously effective (to the point it enables evil)?

Cults are all fun and games until you get purged. It gets extra shitty when kids are involved, because they don’t really have a choice in the matter.

First off, thanks for going into so much detail, I appreciate it.

It was never all rainbows and open arms. That’s aspirational at best, and the path for immigrants is really, really hard. Sadly, not everyone even thinks that’s a bad thing. I do expect that we will draw a line at some point, though.

From the most recent appeal decision:

A degree of difference as between the legal schemes applicable in the two countries can be tolerated, so long as the American system is not fundamentally unfair.

With respect to gross disproportionality, the question is whether the impugned legislation’s effects on the s. 7 interests are so grossly disproportionate to its purposes that they cannot rationally be supported. Neither a risk of detention with opportunities for release and review nor a risk of medical isolation meets this high threshold. In Canada, as in the United States, these risks are within the mutually held norms accepted by our free and democratic societies.

As of 2023, the US was a liberal democracy, if a really hollowed out one, and there hasn’t been a big, decisive collapse even now. A different case with different rights violations might get a different conclusion, and I have to wonder if they would find the US immigration system fundamentally fair today if this was retried. Probably not; Trump has been far more aggressive this time around and is sending people to forever prisons in El Salvador.

The gender based part would be one of the cases you mentioned that’s still ongoing:

Claims based on s. 15 are not secondary issues only to be reached after all other issues are considered. The Charter should not be treated as if it establishes a hierarchy of rights in which s. 15 occupies a lower tier.

I’m not going to say you’re wrong, exactly. I can’t prove that. I don’t know if there’s any actual data comparing the two models, and I’m guessing you know the same history I do when it comes to the gritty days of trusts before the multinational.

You have to see how that argument can apply to systems of government, though. It’s out of fashion to want a “benevolent dictator”, but that’s the exact kind of thing people hoped for from Louis XIV or Mussolini. Cut through the bureaucracy, stop shifting responsibility around, give help directly where it’s needed.

They’re everywhere. It’s humans in general.

Good. They might be more intact, too, given how it sounds like this plane landed.

I don’t know much about the deep details of either plane, but as I understand it there is a backup power system on the 737, albeit not one for the black boxes themselves. The indications were it just failed as well, at the same time.

What would you rather have, one person with a ton of power making decisions, or abstract it out over a group and diffuse all responsibility?

That pretty much describes democracy.

Government ideologies don’t apply in any clear way here, of course. A corporation is an oversized market stall, and the main argument is how to regulate them and if we should have them at all. But, if that’s the bit you take issue with there’s a clear parallel.

A person isn’t usually dumb enough to fire half their workforce, because they know their bread and butter comes from that workforce. A consulting company advising the business and shareholders at the same time can easily do such stupidity for short term profits

That can go both ways, though. Think about Twitter X, MyPillow and Chick-Fil-A. And the countless sketchy small businesses that exist.

I mean, there’s also the whole “Netanyahu goes to prison if he doesn’t have a war going on” thing.

Honestly, I’m kinda surprised he waited this long.

The destination in question could be very classy or very not, but it definitely sounds like they’re trying to sell it to me.

A cult is simply a religion that’s too small to have sects and too young to have legitimacy.

When people started worshiping a guy nailed to a torture device and said he was God, the Romans thought they were lunatics, because that’s genuinely unsettling. The eating his body thing doesn’t help either. It’s just that the Christians won.

Yep, another Boeing mystery crash where everything stopped working at once.

I’m kinda suspicious that the critical moments weren’t actually missing from Jeju Air’s black boxes when they were delivered to the US.

No, it really doesn’t. Assets under management (not owned) 11.5 trillion, while the American stock market alone is worth around 50.
