If every person using an AI assistant becomes a mechanical turk for sending data back upstream to the AI provider as a means to bypass robots.txt that's what isn't cool. Local usage for the benefit of that user should be ok, but not the follow on effects.

I would rather chew on broken glass than give Elon Musk any money.

Hence why, as painful as it has been, Brexit was the right answer. EU members have lost your sovereignty to a bunch of bureaucrats in Brussels that you have no redress against when they wrong you.

I hope so. With so many problems and issues trying to observer our universe through the eyes of the standard gravity only model, I have to assume others (like myself) are starting to become curious if other ideas could have a better ability to describe cosmology.

I wonder how small of a fraction that is compared to the total waste of batteries going on these days.

Too bad this isn't anywhere else in the world, it may benefit good people instead of old mexico.

It depends on where you live. US education is heavily decentralized, in rural kentucky it was still possible until the early 1980s to have 1-12 (kindergarten would have been a pipe dream) in the nearest town. Most districts consolidated first the high schools (9/10-12) and then middle schools (6/7-8/9), but I'm 45 now, I attended a half-day K-8 in my local town. Our local population supported about 1.5 classes (~40-50 students) per grade, so we had a bunch of splits
half day Kindergarten
regular 1st
High 1st/Low 2nd graders
regular 2nd
regular 3rd
high 3rd/low 4th
regular 4th
regular 5th

at 6th grade, a close by k-5 elementary joined with our population
high 5th/low 6th
2 rooms of regular 6th
3 rooms of 7th
2 rooms of regular 8th
1 room of the highest math aptitude ones, we got pre-algebra in 8th grade instead of their general math and our reading was generally higher so we might have read 1 or 2 extra books over the year in our english class
The 4 K-8 schools went to a common 9-12 high school, so that would lead to a 9th grade math breakdown like:
2-3 sections of honors algebra 1, we would net out 1 class of 12th grade AP calculus AB from this
2-3 algebra 1 these kids would end in trigonometry and geometry in grade 12
2-3 pre-algebra these kids would end in algebra 2 and basic geometry in grade 12
2-3 general math these kids would end in algebra 1 and basic geometry in grade 12
The district I grew up in has changed since then, they've got a common 7th-8th building now and the 9th graders attend an isolated building of their own (7-12 is on the same giant physical campus in the middle of our county)

Larger urban districts like the one my kids attend now have opportunities to slot and track high math aptitude earlier, there are some 6th graders that take pre-algebra so their end target would be trig as sophomores and AP Calculus BC as seniors

I think we've all seen Terminator, STFU bot!

Thank you for being so brave as to tell the truth where many others will not dare, worst yet, often folks who blow the whistle are, seemingly, swiftly dealt with. As it is, this new era of the greedy gangster circus, can not tolerate uprising or defiance any longer (or their baby(5star5)jesus(666) mite not comeback (/s [{}]illumiantishithough[{}])). sux, but, you prob should not say such a thing, if what you say is true.

So, as long as there is no prior data, and we live in the present tense, then we can deny, say, that the ship is sinking? There may be a reason that you are in academia...

The conservative goal is the absence of a King of the Hill, not to _be_ King of the Hill.

You keep talking about that Way as though you know Him, too.

At a high level of abstraction, Your Team is, in fact, a bad economic/acid trip.
