If you know the type you need fewer checks in the jitted code, and you can optimise to native types. If it helps python specifically, given that the types themselves are pretty dynamic, who knows. A python integer…
It sounds enough like real investing that it might make some more people put real money into crypto, while still being unregulated and vague enough that you can outright steal the money or take risks a regulated market…
That's a separate probem that probably wont be solved by reducing the work week. That said, ppp adjusted median houshold income has grown fairly steadily even in the US, even with growing inequality... so workers too…
The performance of python indicates otherwise. There are some performance critical libraries written in C or C++ but a lot of python is written in python. Python in itself is poorly suited to ever become performant as…
> there's no reason you shouldn't be paid the same for less time because your output is the same/better. The reason is economic growth for the company / the country. This in turn is a more subtle point than it seems at…
Give the low quality of microsoft's products, I am very ready to believe that even simple agents can do a better job.
You get to understand more of how the world works. What's the point of exercise when we have machines that can do physical labor? It keeps you healthy. If you don't use and train your brain, you'll be unhealthy and…
Even if you were right about AI, if you plan on keeping humans around, you need them as educated as humanly possible.
AI has replaced students in the same way as cars and elevators have replaced exercise
You're free to do that, even if doing it isn't graded
The total time of their tasks or the micro-benchmark of ripgrep?
How do you make the world better without any useful skills? Being nice is nice, but it doesn't cure cancer
Thinking radio, calculators, the internet etc will make teachers obsolete misses something fundamental. Could people learn by themselves? – possibly. Do they? – generally not. Having agents changes nothing Access to…
You're giving them much more benefit of doubt than they deserve
The only place I've ever seen a trigraph is in malicious c code style content. It's a terrible idea for sure, but not a problem in pratice... to the point that gcc at least used to require an extra flag to turn them on
FOI is for administrative documents to increase transparency in government. Detailed 3D scans a museum does for research or preservation isn't an administrative document. If you want a 3d scan of these statues, there's…
If education doesn't matter, you've had the wrong education.
It sounds like they are ready to give up human readability of code for a mostly untested idea macros _might_ help LLMs? It's certainly the weakest argument I have seen today
what would be a better repeatable measure of education?
Why enforce effort rather than outcome? Just have exams be without phones. If someone manages to learn without doing the homework, or finds some way to learn better using an LLM, fine. The exam will show that.
Failing people who didn't learn anything during the course sounds like a desirable outcome
Perhaps let them take a practice exam early on, so they can realise they'll fail the real one unless they actually study?
Education isn't a zero sum game. It's highly possible for people to do worse on basic skills without that being compensated by new unknown skills. Hoping they're smarter than the tests show is a bad strategy for fixing…
so your take on declining test scores is that it means people are learning more?
This is satire, right?
