This comment made me laugh, because I was looking into doing an online highschool, and while looking for discussions on the pros/cons, I stumbled upon the Reddit, which was all "Does anybody have the answers to the Unit 3 test for

Maybe it's different for higher education, but at least for my more memorization-centric high school courses (religion, science, civics), I find that I get good-enough grades by just feeding ChatGPT the test reviews and having it creat

I disagree, assuming that your goal is being able to recall the backside of the flashcard. Making the flashcards is equivalent to 2 or 3 reviews IMO.

I believe that GP is trying to say that your child picked up that behaviour by watching you. Monkey see, monkey do. (No offence intended towards your child.)

What? It's not talking about WINE, it's talking about SteamOS. > The Steam Machine is basically a tiny gaming desktop for your TV, running the Steam Deck's SteamOS. That platform is a Linux distribution optimized for emula

I think that it's supposed to be a portmanteau of Unix and Learn.

Ah, yikes, just ignore this comment, my literacy skills failed me here.

Do you know how to use a fountain pen? Do you know how to tell your position by the stars? Do you know how to start a fire with sticks and stones? Life's too short to spend it hoarding trivia.

What I mean by "forget" is more about losing fluency. Right now when I look at a clock, I can have the hour in around half of a second and the minute in another half a second. But I know that a) I was faster a few years ago and t

This is why God created ChatGPT. \s

Not a student in any of those countries, but speaking as a Canadian: I was taught how to read a clock in early grade school (grade 1, I believe?), and retain this ability now. I can see myself losing this ability in the next few years given

Is learning how to read an analogue clock really an effective use of one's time? I myself was taught how an am able to read an analogue clock, but I doubt that I would be much worse off without that abulity.

Not trying to downplay your grievances, but isn't this what [Skills]( https://claude.com/skills ) are for? After going back and forth on something like that, create a skill that's something along the lines of `datab

Yeah,how devstating it would be for Anna's Archive to be found skirting copyright laws. Their reputation may never recover. \s

I agree that I'm probably wrong, which is why I still go to school.

Wait, am I dumb, or did the authors hallucinate? @INVENTORY says that 42 are in stock, but the text says "Only 3 left". Am I misunderstanding this or does stock mean something else?

That's true, but they are also a) a lot more expensive and b) unlike LLMs, the vast majority of professionals have family and friends and need sleep and food, and as such are not available 24/7/365

I don't know about other areas, but the school to which I go in Southwestern Ontario still has a library, as does every other school to which I have been.

This sort of thing is some of the weirdest pseudointellectualism I've seen. Most adults and seniors also can't tell where they are by the position of the stars, or write with a fountain pen, or use a sliderule, or read a sundial.

I feel like it's more "if you don't sprint through the middle of the freeway and instead cross at the crosswalk, you're safe from cars". Also, there's not some genie sprinkling fairy dust on all of the politica

What happens when the kid eventually becomes an adult? They have to buy a new device? That seems like an really great way to create a bunch of unnecessary e-waste. Also, letting Big Daddy Government control what we show the kids has got to

Saying this as a current high school student: there should be as few mandatory classes as possible. Your maths, sciences, and Englishes make sense. In Ontario, we also have to take French (bit more iffy, but I guess it's an official la

I don't know why you're getting downvoted for this, but it's the same thing for me. The For You tab is a cesspool, but if you stick to the Following tab and unfollow anybody who says pretty much anything political, it's
