UC Berkeley mathematics professor Richard Borcherds stops grading homework for correctness, declaring there is “no point” as student use of AI becomes “widespread.”
Students now receive credit simply for submitting their assignments.

JUST IN: Children whose mothers took choline supplements during pregnancy scored +8 IQ points higher at age 4 than those in a placebo group, major new study finds.
California hasn't built its bullet train because the state has required 130,000 pages of environmental reports, making absurd demands like:
• counting bumblebees one by one
• rebuilding woodrat stick huts
• hiring specialized dogs to sniff lizard scat
In 1999 Clinton wanted to invest a portion of Social Security into the stock market. If we did that SS would be fully funded for, at minimum until 2056. Likely much longer than that.
But boomers said no because it was "too risky." So instead Trump had to literally start an entire new SS program to replace it with what we should've done.
Floyd's death was legitimately tragic in a classic American sense. He was in many ways a victim of corrupt policies that intersected to end his life.
he had gotten clean, was working out again and working, when Covid lockdowns put him out of a job. This photo is from his job as a nightclub doorman. he was well liked and said to be a good worker.
he loses his job, gets back on Fent, which is only in the country due to open borders anyway, somehow gets a fake $20, and the full force of the cops come out over something the Fed does as PUBLIC POLICY.
the Federal Reserve debases and manipulates currency as policy. George was just trying to buy a snack with a fake $20, which is only a crime because the Fed needs to send a message to anybody else moving in on printing money. Nobody arrested Yellen for doing worse by a few trillion.
guy was old stock. family has probably been here for 400 years. and he's dead because of open border policies that allowed a virus to freely come into the USA, drugs to freely flow into the country, and policies that led to him losing his job and ultimately his life.
RIP George. See you at the corner store on the other side.
Post Script - the pregnant woman he robbed... was an illegal from South America lmao
@MKBHD I’m not. Will use SpaceX cold gas thruster system with ultra high pressure air in a composite over-wrapped pressure vessel in place of the 2 rear seats.
JUST IN: Elon Musk unveils the Tesla Roadster by launching it off a ramp before the car flipped in midair and safely landed on the ground.
The car is a collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX.
One of the most insane things I've ever seen.
Well, it's finally here—this is the new Tesla Roadster.
- 0-60 MPH In Under 1.0 Second
- Fan Generating 2 Gs Of Grip
- Thrusters From SpaceX
- And It Can Fly (Allegedly)
Here are all the details: https://t.co/piiYpeSZ85
JUST IN: NASA says its Moon Base is running ahead of schedule, with the first element now expected to launch in December followed by near-monthly robotic missions to the lunar surface beginning in early 2027.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said the agency expects to beat the original national-space-policy target of putting the first Moon Base elements in place by 2030.
The plan is to send infrastructure, rovers and other equipment ahead of astronauts so hardware is already operating on the surface when crews arrive.
NASA is also developing a public website that will allow people to follow construction of the lunar base as missions arrive.
“We’re leaving no doubts this time,” Isaacman said. “It’s all in HD.”
America was formed by a civilization that has persisted for thousands of years and which must persist for thousands more.
It was the Civilization of Athens and Rome that transformed an infant seaboard republic into a continental empire.
LMAO. Reporter tries the 'data center jobs are temporary' line on a Pennsylvania tradesman literally building one.
His answer: “Every job in my field is temporary.”
Google says Gemini 4 Argon agents have already freed over 300 TiB of memory across its data centers, with a 1 million token output limit and agents already optimizing its own infrastructure.
The agents analyzed profiling data, found memory optimizations and applied changes that were subsequently rolled out.
Argon agents are also working on C/C++ to Rust migrations reaching 800,000+ lines of kernel code, with extensive audits and testing before deployment.
For its video decoder, Google says agents replaced 32,000 lines of SIMD code with safe Rust, making the existing Rust port 2.7x faster while preserving identical video output.
These are expensive engineering tasks inside infrastructure Google already operates.
This release seems to be a much bigger deal than people think!
