Pre AI today it seems like we’re in some weird place where IQ scores are dropping in ways that don’t match the Flynn effect and people like Bryan Caplan argue that education is just virtue signalling to gain access to higher status and paying bullshit jobs (David Graeber). Everyone here talks about how real that is in the world of whiteboard interviews and rest and vesters. It seems pretty true elsewhere in the world of white collar nepotism.
What are we really educating kids for these days? To have advantage over other kids because we have no fair meritocratic way to allocate resources or meaning in society?
Won’t AI just make this infinitely worse.
Like, one vision is more teachers and more students learning better, and another is less teachers and more baby sitters and lower government budgets for education leaving students with the equivalent of an automated telephone answering service menu instead of a real human call centre?
I agree, except all those kids just go on to work in an Amazon warehouse driving a forklift anyway.
We need to start valuing human intellect more otherwise it will simply become a thing we have outsourced to machines like washing clothes and transporting our bodies.
Pretty cool, I had a little chat in german and then the last translate button wouldn't work, the chat disappeared after I clicked around the rest of the interface. Main thing that seems missing is there is no feedback on the grammar and spelling or things that should be said, so perhaps you need a second model + prompt to analyse the inputs of the user in relation to the conversation and critique it as a language teacher in terms of spelling, grammar and contextual relevance, suggesting an alternative that the teacher would have said?
Very recent father who asked to have his son seeded after a unplanned c section here. Iv followed a lot of recent micro biome research and it does seem weird to think there is any downside to doing this given that a vaginal birth contains a lot more of the same seeding microbes. GBS seems overblown but you could still pre test for that earlier in pregnancy if you want to play it that way.
Baby Koalas literally cannot digest eucalyptus leaves unless they get the microbes from eating their mothers faeces after birth. Mammalian microbe seeding during birth, is likely critical to our evolutionary history.
This looks awesome. The state of virtualization on Apple Silicon right now is a bit painful. If this really does provide semi performant x86 Linux emulation and there was a Vagrant Provider plugin then this would easily be the defacto tool for dev / testing VMs on macOS.
Every tool I have tried like Parallels and VMWare Fusion 13 Pro says that nested virtualization for windows is not possible. If this is possible with Orb at some point i’d pay for it.
I often want to test a Windows VM with Docker installed into WSL2 and this becomes a nightmare now on Apple Silicon.
Also I wonder what possibility this opens up for an improved toolchain to develop stuff like Asahi Linux by bridging macOS native tooling and Linux emulation to write and test code without rebooting or using two machines.
Amazing work. Why can’t Apple, Vzmware, parallels or someone else do all of this when a single developer can. Sad.
