@ogsvg What's the point of this feature? Anyone who took the time to spend $100+ on a vial of XYZ from some online vendor already knows what they bought and its effects
Why can't someone introduce legislation that 10 - 20% of the compute of a data center must be allocated to local or provincial tech companies/startups? Could easily turn the tide on this irrational data center hatred...
Not blaming current cohorts, I get why gen Z is cynical about the world and education but Zillennials were prob the last breed to have a starry-eyed view of institutions, that is basically dead now
This sounds insane to anyone that did higher edu b4 the LLM era, because we would've killed to have a tool to understand material by having access to a 24/7 TA with high IQ and infinite patience
Not saying we wouldn't have cheated but we did have a genuine respect for high edu
๐ฆUC Berkeley's computer science department just posted its worst failure rates in years. 35.3% of CS 10 students got F's in spring 2026, up from under 10% in prior semesters. Professor Dan Garcia says the primary driver is a "vast increase in academic dishonesty" through LLMs. Students use AI to complete assignments, never learn the material, then fail exams. His office hours, once full, are now empty.
My Take
Companies are firing experienced engineers while the pipeline that produces new ones is being gutted by the same technology. Students use AI to bypass the hard part of learning, show up to exams without the understanding, and fail. One professor discovered a student's linear algebra class had an "open AI" policy for homework and exams. That student then couldn't do basic linear algebra in the next course.
Both ends of the workforce are eroding at the same time. Senior engineers are getting cut to fund AI spending. Junior engineers are graduating without the skills because AI did their coursework. And the companies spending trillions on these tools haven't connected those two facts yet.

Not even that far back we had sexy soulful songs by girl bands with lyrics gassing up men
Unthinkable today...
It's easy to hate Christopher Nolan for The Odyssey
But do you have the courage to love him for making a mockery out of Hollywood's written and unwritten rules?
He isn't stupid
@anokariver This is why the study of astrology is important, or at least consulting a respectable (sidereal) astrologist
It helps you get in tune with the archetypes you were born with so that you can more easily embody who you are instead of getting lost in self-discovery/confusion
@scottdomes Very well said. Cut off a childhood friend recently exactly because he fits the archetype you describe. Was patient with him for a very long time, but he lashed out at me despite me only offering kindness.
You can't help a nice guy help themselves.
@SovereignIM@TellYourSonThis This is very generally applicable too. If a friend of yours holds you to a higher standard than themselves and you find them pushing subtle power plays and disrespects you, you're in a relationship where the rules of engagement are not in mutual interest.
@ubiquitousnewt@UomoDelWest You're projecting your personality on anglos as a whole, lol. Have you never seen the crazy atmosphere and dancing in rock concerts back in the 70s, 80s?
This music is just dogshit
@UnmarredReality Can you link a chat so we can see an example of what the issue you're coming across is? Otherwise its hard to take you seriously, this post comes across as whining.
@technicalob@Econ_Marshall First of all, the study doesn't use synthetic controls and second of all, rather than accepting that you're just plain wrong you're trying to pivot from "Bro they have personality differences"
They literally show raw, unadjusted event-study plots
@technicalob@Econ_Marshall This is just wrong. If early name changers were superior immigrants, theyโd already earn more before changing their name. But the study shows flat pre-trends and zero within-firm effects. The earnings jump only happens AFTER the ethnic cue disappears
