16·11 hours agoI remember the “ban calculators” back in the day
US math scores have hit a low point in history, and calculators are partially to blame. Calculators are good to use if you already have an excellent understanding of the operations. If you start learning math with a calculator in your hand, though, you may be prevented from developing a good understanding of numbers. There are ‘shortcut’ methods for basic operations that are obvious if you are good with numbers. When I used to teach math, I had students who couldn’t tell me what 9 * 25 is without a calculator. They never developed the intuition that 10 * 25 is dead easy to find in your head, and that 9 * 25 = (10-1) * 25 = 250-25.

JD, I want you to know that I take every fucking thing that Trump says seriously. Whenever he or you or that nosferatu-looking piece of shit miller say something stupid or evil, I completely believe you. Never do I think you fuckwits are bluffing or joking or whatever. I honestly believe, with my whole being, that you are the evil motherfuckers that you say you are.
That being said, I still don’t intend to comply.

Can anyone explain what an AI PC is? How is it different from a regular PC? Are you running a model locally or something?

I’m getting downvotes so I feel like i need to clarify: my point is that if AI were everything techbros are hyping it up to be, they wouldn’t have to hype it. Fire ‘caught on’ because its utility was immediately apparent. There never were fire ‘deniers’ because it was of undeniable benefit to humankind. Not so with the SlopChop.
The inventor of fire wants people to stop saying that fire is cold. He insists on the utility of combustible gases and is adamant that some day, people will find a use for fire that makes the fire industry profitable.
How do we know this is even the opinion of this
computer scientistsloperator and not just some AI bullshit?
Ich bin Kanadierin und unendlich dankbar, dass mein Land Mitglied der NATO ist. Meine Regierung erkennt endlich, dass unsere Abhängigkeit von den USA in Verteidigungsfragen eine Vernachlässigung unserer Verantwortung war. Wenn die verbleibenden Demokratien der Welt frei bleiben wollen, müssen wir in der Lage sein, uns gegen autoritäre Bedrohungen zu vereinen.

Hopefully, the trouncing republicans receive will be behind bars.
Yeah, it started with lists last time too. The US is preparing to add a new section to the « crimes against humanity » chapter in the history books.

… ’ child pornography?
To be clear: X is the political opponent of anyone who values democracy. As such, it can be fairly said that this IS an attempt to censor my opponents’ … child pornography. I do not object to ‘censoring’ CSAM. Tim Sweeney thinks child porn is free speech (pcgamer - contact me for rights to this far superior headline). When X was just vile hate speech, propaganda, and misinformation, the free speech argument prevailed. This is not the same.
