Schools need to recognize not everyone learns the same, not every one tests the same. They need to stop the insanity of expecting a "normal" way and then the accommodated way, and consider if the very way they teach and test themselves are flawed.

Opinion time, which I don't have time to explain a lot of, but I think our entire model of schooling is entirely broken.

Tests should be about demonstrating COMPETENCY not the ability to memorize something you'll subsequently forget. All tests should be open-book too. Any teacher who thinks they need to do a closed book test doesn't know how to properly make a test. The real world is open book.

Ohh, but that's harder right? So I guess we just keep the broken system we have.

And don't get me started on grades. They are toxic. You shouldn't just suddenly stop trying to learn a thing they say "well so far you're a 4 out of 5 and that kid over there is a 2 out of 5, now move along, even if you didn't understand it."

WTF? No, you keep trying until you pass. No grades. You pass, or you keep trying. no arbitrary "welp, time to move this one on I guess, even if they didn't figure it out."

And blindness doesn't exist either. Nor being deaf. These people claiming such just need to try harder, right?

Just let it be a state choice. Feds need to get out. Each state can pick whatever messed-up time they want.

if AI replaces most jobs, who will have the money to buy their products? It seems a lot of these pointy-haired MBA's have no idea other than clueless following the buzz-word talk.

From a centrist, your arguments are equally applicable to the other side.
Yeah Trump is an extreme nutjob. But the outliers exist in all equations.
Generally speaking both parties are equally corrupt. The Right AND the Left.

They're called "Politicians" and it doesn't matter what flavor they pretend to align to, they're all corrupt.

By "most farmers" do you mean the independent farmers or the megacorporations who've bought out most independent farmers?

Sounds like it was pre-curated TBH.

Yeah when told that, I'd make sure to transition as little as possible. The company is obviously cutting me, and that is a sign of zero loyalty, so why would they expect any back?

Severance pay? Ok, I'll teach this person a bunch of BS garbage so they think they're picking up something...

Good luck with that

Generally speaking AI makes bigmacs and not fine dining experiences. Especially when it comes to something that is more than a snapshot.

And it will always struggle with this because of its very nature. Its training models are designed to homogenize to the highest score for a thing (aka the middle).

Good artists/authors need not fear AI, just always make stuff that's better than it.

Artist/Authors who make bigmacs—they're the ones who need to be afraid.

Actually doing ticket sales as a dutch auction (not reverse) is fairly brilliant.

So the tickets start at $5000, and every few minutes drop in price until they're all sold out. People who must have the right seat pay more, people willing to wait for it to go down wait. The dutch auction process at its best.

Gov contractors are THE WORST. They have turned milking the US Government into a science.

Put out a call for somebody to do the work, with a requirement that they can't have ever done work for the US gov before.

And don't be extremely prescriptive like "must support these 200 other interfaces to other systems written in 30 unknown ancient languages including screen scraping of that one system"

The government doesn't pay for this stuff.
And SpaceX has done a great service for the government, driving down the cost of rocket launches so far that it's made the cartel that Boeing and Lockheed made to drive up the costs through a single bidder all but go out of business.
Your comment shows how myopic your perspective is, and how emotional it is, not based in any logic.

"Full nazi" seriously? do you not know history?
Get over your butt-hurt self and recognize other people can have differing opinions, and THAT IS OKAY.
I'm a very solid centrist, so I'm getting rather sick of seeing the right blow its lid over one election, then the left blowing its lid over another, and back and forth. It's just kindergarteners throwing tantrums every election. NOBODY ACTS ANY DIFFERENTLY. You aren't any better than the other guys.

five digit UID from the heyday :D I can say it hasn't changed much, TBH.

Like it or not, from the superficial things I've seen, Matt Mullenweg is within his rights to do what he's done.
