Maybe in US, if you learn to write in a simple and straightforward way. In France essays are all about writing in a complex way to show how smart you are. Which not only is not a useful skill to have, it's detrimental because we learn

The point is not that it's easy, but that you don't need much knowledge beyond knowing how to code. In this sense it's accessible: you won't get stuck because of a word you don't understand or a concept you've

It's baffling than after 30 years, Windows is still stuck in a weird directory naming structure inherited from the 80's that no longer make sense when nobody has floppy drives.

If homework is not used to check progress, then cheating on it is not a problem. Don't grade homework. Only grade work done in school. Students who cheat on their homework are just deterring themselves and won't do as good at the

Accept to be unjustly marked as a cheater, or submit to a 30-60 minutes interrogation where the teacher think you're guilty and you need to prove that you're innocent. It's only an obvious choice if you have total faith that

It's like with the justice system: if you have to choose between the risk of jailing an innocent and the risk letting a guilty person go free, you choose to let a guilty person go free. All the time. Unless you're 100% sure that a

It is true, and it is much easier to get that first relevant work experience when you have a big degree. Not impossible without one, just much harder.

> In an age where having a degree is increasingly meaningless I wish I would agree with you, but I think that having a degree (or rather the right degree) is more important than ever. Basically grades exist to decide who gets a laid back

If you want my opinion GrapheneOS isn't on the radar of the French government at all, so they don't think they "won" or "lost". It's kind of a "I don't think about you at all" Mad Men Meme.

Yes there is, for coding for example you need to learn how to use the tools efficiently otherwise you'll get garbage... And end up either discarding everything and claiming AI is crap, or push it to prod and have to deal with the garba

Before Google the web was already full of SEO slop. Except "SEO" just meant "put a list of popular keywords in a block hidden with CSS". That was the time of Altavista and other search engines. So the time you're ta

If none of the company has any document to prove ownership, because according to the article they lost them, how could they win a lawsuit?

This is true for all digital purchases, video games or otherwise. There is no such thing as "owning" a game unless you're the company that developed the game (or bought the company that did).

Yeah, unfortunately that's what the word "boomer" has become. Also everyone talks about boomers, millenials, gen z, apparently people forgot there was a generation between boomers and millenials. Anyway: it doesn't reall

I don't think needing a specific app to pay with your phone by scanning a QR code is being ahead, compared to contactless payments or even credit cards.

I have your answer: you provide a tool for your translators, you don't unleash a bot that makes changes left and right and creates new pages. Typically, when a new page is written in English, don't automatically generate a version

This is why I'm very skeptical about the "Nobel prize level" claims. To win a Nobel prize you would have to produce something completely new. LLM will probably be able to reach a Ph.D. level of understanding existing research

Not only that, AI providers shouldn't be a hardcoded list. Firefox used to be the most configurable, everything plugable browser, what happened on that? If a 1.0 was released today, would they have a hardcoded list of search engines?
