I've noticed, as a student, that many college students - particularly those not in STEM/engineering fields - have an almost irrational hatred of AI. It's to the point where they'll mock you for using it, even when it provides such an insane productivity boost. I understand the disdain for trying to inject the concept everywhere, and like any new technology, it's apt to be used where it is unneeded, and mentioned when it is irrelevant.

But this luddite-like hatred needs also to be addressed. You can't turn your back on a helpful new technology just because it shakes things up. Students need to learn to use it more than constantly boo and ignore it. Especially those in non-STEM fields, where its usage might be more optional currently.

And yet, it still takes 5 minutes for my canvas preview to load, and one in 20 times it crashes the whole app.

More realistically I think you'd need something like "Now write your post in the style of a space pirate" with a 10 second deadline, and then have another LLM checking if the two posts cover the same topic/subject but are stylistically appropriate.

Is this meant to detract from their situation? These tech stacks are mainstream because so many use them... it's only natural that AI would be the best at writing code in contexts where it has the most available training data.

It's a hardware wallet that just looks cool. Where's the "black mirror vibes". There's not much nefarious tech here.

Fun video, you can really feel the 2012 in it too.

More specific shenanigans aside, JavaScript will always be the king of unintuitive syntax. Some of these f-string tidbits are very much strange, but you'd have to be implementing something specific to encounter them. Meanwhile over in JS you're still waiting for your dependencies to install so you can compare two arrays.

Every now and then since deleting my account I click on a link to an X post and am reminded I can't read the replies, and then I am thankful again to my past self for deleting my account. I urge everyone to delete the app and their accounts, realistically there are just much better sources of information nowadays. It's not worth the mental headache to get your news from X, which recently honestly hasn't even been good at delivering it.

It's interesting, this concept of "just following orders" recurs so much in almost all contexts. War behavior really seems to be the baseline of human interaction.
