I didn't say "faster" I said "more time teaching" which is, you know, the purpose of the exercise. There's nothing morally repugnant about removing labor to free up time for other, more important things (unless you're a Luddite or a Calvinist, I guess).

While the kids using AI to do their work for them is an obvious problem, I don't think there is anything wrong with using AI to help with lesson planning and testing as long as the teacher actually understands what they are teaching and checks that the AI isn't hallucinating when it produces the material. Grading could also be a net positive, again as long as the teacher understands and reviews what the AI does.

Giving more teachers time to actually teach is a good thing.

I'm no fan of Bank of America, but with 70,000,000 customers, "hundreds" of problematic accounts seems more like they're doing a good job in this area rather than a bad one.

You are indeed mistaken... Ford trucks do not have aluminum frames. They have aluminum bodies and beds, but the frames are steel.

I mean... despite the Bruen decision, states have been doubling down on gun control over the last several years, so forgive us if we don't believe that yellow stuff coming out of your dick and landing on us is rain.

More likely %PROGRAMDATA%, but yeah. The GP is making a poorly designed application Microsoft's problem.

I don't disagree it's stupid, but it's the current state of the law. I don't know what to tell you, other than "I reject your reality and substitute my own" sounds great, but tends to not actually do anything.

Is there anywhere in Western Europe that isn't "near groundwater?"

FWIW, the reason it's a 3 isn't (completely) a love of leetspeak, it's because Ford already had a trademark for the Model E.

Trademark? No. But copyright infringement? Yes. See "Blurred Lines" for more detail.

You can stop there. That's the point that so many people seem to be missing: this is a short term plan to extract the maximum amount of revenue from the product. They do not appear to care about the long term.

My reference to Goodfellas was not just for the literal words, "Fuck you, pay me" but rather the entire scene. This is a planned destructive act.

That's true, but it seems to be factored into their plans. There is no "long term" strategy here, this is all about short term revenue extraction.

You completely misunderstand the business model that Broadcom has chosen to use here. For a primer, see the "Fuck you, pay me" scene from Goodfellas.

They are purposefully imploding their customer base. The goal is to squeeze every customer that cannot move off of vSphere like a lemon in a hydraulic press. They actually do not give a fuck if you migrate to another platform, because they'd rather have 10x the revenue from their captive big fish than worry about the small fish or the ones that got away.

Was it? I thought the whole point was "how do we extract revenue from customers too small and price sensitive to buy vSphere standard?" Anyone who just wanted "a taste of the experience" could run the free ESXi.

OK, I'll bite: why is that a "problem?"

Tell me you don't know what you're talking about without telling me you don't know what you're talking about--international flights are not "commonly slightly overloaded." Cargo and passengers are routinely moved around or offloaded when weight and balance limits are not met.

With regard to dumping fuel, it's because max takeoff weights on large aircraft are higher than max landing weights (because the forces on e.g. landing gear are higher when landing than they are when taking off).
