Watching these clowns jiggle keys in the publics face and the public just all-the-way goes for it.

We truly are a nation of dipshits.

What's the new name gonna be? Colossus? HAL? Mother?

It's funny, you can tell what books the billionaire class are reading by the schemes they dump their money into and what they choose to call them. Zuck must finally be over his Snow Crash kick.

I'm honestly surprised it took Zucko this long to pivot. There's still too many actual tech people left in the world to convince the masses to "buy" invented Cyberspace real estate from a digital land baron.

The meta scam will work eventually. Maybe in 20 years, when the lions share of us graybeards are pissing ourselves and drooling.

Why is this even a discussion? They simply can't be trusted.

Marketing will turn it around because normal people are not tracking Intels string of colossal fuckups.

Normal people buy laptops and game systems every 5 years or so. MS is forcing the turn this time, and people will buy what they know.

Never give up your likeness right kids. Once they've got it, they'll use it forever.

Anybody who wants to download Ns IP has already got it.

When business intentionally cripples it's own service there are two avenues for redress. Regulation, and market pressure.

It's not like anybody is forced to buy HP products. Seems like market pressures are the fix here.

"Its afraid!"

I am with you brother, it is good for simple things but the indenting for codeblocks and gymnastics for magic methods and mixed programming paradigms.
I use C most of the time and BYTHON is something I want to check out.

You can still spin up a forum on your own hardware in your closet and a free dynDNS service will update DNS to point at your residential IP whenever it gets updated. The very people who know how to do that are the same people who bring any value to reddit.

Go ahead reddit. Lock away your users.

they're talking about locking specific post in specific subreddits behind paywalls. They've already beta tested it and you can talk to mods on certain subreddits about it (they all hate the idea)

Coding is not the point of the CS50 class.
The point is code literacy and the intellectual pursuit of computer science.

CS50 isn't just about learning to write code; it's about fostering computational thinking and code literacy. While coding is a crucial tool, the core of CS50 lies in understanding the underlying principles of computer science. The course meticulously builds a foundation, starting with fundamental building blocks like variables, data types (booleans, integers, etc.), control flow (if/else statements, loops), and functions. It then progresses to more complex concepts like data structures (arrays, linked lists, trees), algorithms (searching, sorting), and algorithm analysis using Big O notation. This journey from the micro to the macro gives students a holistic view of how software works.

CS50 empowers you to dissect and comprehend code, regardless of the specific language. Instead of just blindly writing lines of code, you learn to think algorithmically, breaking down problems into logical steps that a computer can execute. This understanding is crucial for leveraging tools like AI code generation. Imagine using an AI assistant like Claude: with a CS50 background, you wouldn't just accept the generated code at face value. You'd be able to critically evaluate it, understand its logic, identify potential flaws, and modify it to perfectly fit your needs. You become a collaborator with the AI, not just a passive user.

Harvard's commitment to making CS50 accessible to the world is commendable. The course's comprehensive curriculum, combined with its engaging teaching style and extensive online resources, has democratized computer science education. The availability of variations like CS50 AI further demonstrates the program's dedication to exploring cutting-edge topics and preparing students for the future of technology. CS50 isn't just a course; it's an investment in developing the next generation of problem solvers and innovators.

CS50 is a brilliant class and I applaud Harvard putting it out there for the world. Thank you HARVARD! I wish I could have gone to Harvard.

Normal people receive data breach notification every couple of weeks, and accept EULAs without even blinking. They're all aware of government mass surveillance the selling of personal info to government agencies as end runs around constitutional protections.

Crying foul about China stealing data means fuckall at this point. Who gives a shit. Uncle Sam already stole it all anyway. China's not the one sending gunmen into private bedrooms and shooting our dogs.

The incoming super business friendly administration has already signaled free reign in return for an "inauguration fund donation"

Expect lots of blatant market leader abuse over the next 4 years.
