Comparing that study to how any classroom works, from kindergarten through high school, is ridiculous. What grade school classes have you ever been in where the teacher said "Okay, get to it" and then ignored the class until the t

Some of it may be related to the 3-engine design, if Boeing had modeled that 2 engines still provided sufficient power in all scenarios. But a takeoff does seem like the worst time to catastrophically lose 1/3 power, even without FOD i

Imho, this will be the key goal of gen 1.5 AI products that start delivering real-world efficiency at scale: multiplying output rather than full human replacement. In almost every transformational AI use case, the economics don't disti

If you read it and only took that away, you might need an LLM to summarize the other 95% for you.

Agreed that a huge part of effectively using LLMs in education will be teaching proper evaluation of sources and what does/doesn't constitute a primary source. A lot of this feels like the conversation when Wikipedia was new. (Yes

I don't think that study supports your assertion. Parent is saying that AI tools can be useful in structured learning environments (i.e. curriculum and teacher-driven). The study you linked is talking about unstructured research (i

I'll buy that, especially in NYC-like urban environments where frequency of exposure is definitely not the issue. Suburbs and rural may be different. Part of the increased diversity is unavoidable due to technological changes eroding p

After watching the below video, it's the excess bearing play and thus no-longer-constrained force directions that would seem to be the issue. With a proper tolerance bearing in place, the force is constrained so that other parts are on

Obviously, but the point here is that cap-weighted index funds convert new money into buyers-at-any-price of their components. When they're more concentrated in specific holdings, and have enough new money, wouldn't that artificia

There's a few problems, at least in the US: 1. Hyper-perfect social media / television setting "the best" expectations for an event. 2. Decreased knowledge of how to host a gathering. It's not rocket science, but

I think that's an overly reductive view of a very complicated problem space, with the benefit of hindsight. If you wanted to make that point, Itanium or 64-bit/multi-core desktop processing would be better examples than Core.
