Lee said he doesn’t know a single student at the school who isn’t using AI to cheat.

How far do you have to be into the AI shit bubble to think everyone is cheating with AI? Some people are always going to cheat, but that’s been true since long before AI tools existed. Most people have some level of integrity and desire to actually learn from the classes they’re paying thousands to attend.

I do already have a watch I really like; just expressing what I think about watches using the word used in the article title.

I crave an actual watch with no smart crap built in. IMO watches are meant to tell you the time, maybe let you set an alarm or stopwatch, and nothing else. My watch cost $25, does all of those things, and has a battery life measured in years. Anything else I need to do can be done just fine by the phone I always carry around in my pocket.

It’s insane to me that Windows still doesn’t have a proper package manager. When you need to upgrade a program you’re expected to go to their website and download the latest version, or update it with its own update mechanism.

This is the kind of AI that will change the world, not the word salad machines that burn through massive amounts of compute to sound kind of intelligent. The ability to train an AI model to identify problems is incredibly useful, whether it’s sewer blockages or cancer cells.

You have to define your propositions somehow, probably in English, but honestly this seems like a really good way to precisely specify the terms of a complex contract with a lot of conditions. It does lack a bit in human-readability, but propositional logic isn’t all that hard to learn.

“AI-powered” and “20 foot robots” are not phrases that should be used in the same sentence. Also, surely leasing an autonomous robot for $20k a month is more expensive than leasing a regular machine and hiring a worker or two to operate it. Construction workers aren’t paid anywhere near $240k a year, and you’ll need someone with an emergency stop button watching the autonomous robot anyways.

5 gigs is a bit high; just checked and my Mint Cinnamon installation is idling at under 2. I used to have an old 4GB Macbook Air with Cinnamon, which ran acceptably considering its specs (and was a heck of a lot faster than MacOS).

This is a community for Linux memes; it’s not meant to be that serious. But if you do want to be serious, the fact is that a huge percentage of PCs currently in use (over half by some estimates) do not meet the Windows 11 requirements and therefore cannot upgrade. I’m sure those users care about the requirements.

I’m so glad I deleted my Instagram account.

Linux doesn’t actually need any functional components to run; if you put on enough pairs of programming socks and take some psychedelics you can simply sit in front of a blank screen and hallucinate a fully functional Linux distro!

If you upgraded an existing installation of Win 10 you should be fine, AFAIK the internet requirement is only for installing a new copy of Win 11.

Of course, just make sure you paint a penguin on the side first.

Windows will sooner kill itself than learn how to play nice with others.

Linux System Requirements:

• Computer (optional)

Should be pretty easy to put a lightweight Linux distro on it and use it as a TV + media player. According to Microsoft it only has a 4th gen i7 and 8 gigs of RAM, so there’s not much point using it as an actual computer these days anyways.

It’s a good plot for a book, but as for actually happening in the real world haha no way.

That comes out to a speed of 7.5km/h or 4.7mph, barely above a brisk walk. Good to know if I ever need to outrun humanoid robots it won’t be hard. (The self-driving cars are another matter).

Robots are a lot more energy efficient than humans. Human muscles are around 25% efficient while robotic motors can be >90%. However they lose massively in energy density. 100 grams of carbs has 1.7 MJ of energy, which is equivalent to 2-3kg of lithium batteries. A human can run for hours on a kg of calorie dense foods, while a robot would need a bulky battery or constant battery swaps/recharges.
