Not the first time people “bought” digital media only to have it taken away.

Physical media or local downloads is the way to go.

China is claiming…

Aaaand I no longer have any confidence in the validity of this claim.

At the core of learning is for students to understand the content being taught. Using tools and shortcuts doesn’t necessarily negate that understanding.

Using chatGPT is no different, from an acidemic evaluation standpoint, than having somebody else do an assignment.

Teachers should already be incorporating some sort of verbal q&a sessions with students to see if their demonstrated in-person comprehension matches their written comprehension. Though from my personal experience, this very rarely happens.

OMG! IT’S HAPPENING! My natural talents, which I have been diligently practicing and honing my entire life are finally given a chance to be properly recognized!

It sounds like you are describing depression. Here are some things that help me when I get to feeling like this. It’s not easy to do when battling with low energy and a lack of motivation, but they help.

• Do more outdoor activities. Normally in the form of walks, or biking to nearby locations instead of driving.

• Drink more water. Basically, I just have a glass of water before drinking anything else.

• Eat better. Nothing too extreme, I make an effort to prepare more foods at home and include more vegetables.

• Change things. I’m not talking about a life change. Rearrange furniture, put up some different wall art, change your lighting, swap out the background images on your computers and / or mobile devices, etc.

• Spend time with your thoughts. I would try to spend about 15 minutes to an hour each day sitting in silence, with no distractions. I don’t force any thoughts. I just wait to see what bubbles to the surface. It usually helps me identify problem areas that I need to focus on.

It is also possible that you have started down a life path that you feel you are “supposed” to pursue and not necessarily a path that you want to pursue.

It could also be that you are burned out between school, work, and social obligations. Making more time for yourself or taking some time off, if that is an option, might help.

Also from the article:

Data from the Autopilot system shows that it recognized the stopped car 37 yards or 2.5 seconds before the crash. Autopilot also slows the car down before disengaging altogether.

Officers injured at the scene are blaming and suing Tesla over the incident.

…

And the reality is that any vehicle on cruise control with an impaired driver behind the wheel would’ve likely hit the police car at a higher speed. Autopilot might be maligned for its name but drivers are ultimately responsible for the way they choose to pilot any car, including a Tesla.

I hope those officers got one of those “you don’t pay if we don’t win” lawyers. The responsibility ultimately resides with the driver and I’m not seeing them getting any money from Tesla.

Here’s my theory that is based on no research whatsoever:

Cigarette companies used to pay to have characters smoke in movies and TV shows. This would cultivate a social acceptance and “cool factor” around smoking. During the 80s and 90s, this practice came under fire and smoking in movies and TV dramatically dropped to the point of almost being non-existent.

Then time passed, vaping became popular, and people stopped caring about the impact of normalizing or even glorifying smoking. So the practice of paying studios to have characters smoke started to return. Nobody said anything, so it is becoming common place again.

It doesn’t matter if it is unhealthy, it is profitable.

I think it would depend on the subject matter.

I would think magnets.

They used in dynamos to generate electricity, in motors to convert electricity into mechanical energy, they are used to hold items together, plus I’m sure many more technical use cases that I am not aware of.

I would think that providing an echo chamber for an existing belief would make somebody less inclined to consider alternative view points. Further, I would suspect social media could sway people still undecided on issues. We’ve already seen reports on how Facebook deliberately manipulated the feeds for certain people to encourage either positive or negative emotional responses to a subject.

Couldn’t those impacts be seen as fueling division and polarization?

“non-human” is not the same as “non-terrestrial”. We’ve shot a lot of non-human “biological material” into space.

Healthcare and capitalism have no business whatsoever being in the same sentence

But … Umm … Ermm

Did I miss the part about customer satisfaction? Guy could have just moved from solving customer issues in 2 hours to aggravating and loosing customers in under 2 minutes.

Why was this cross-posted to bisexual?

Yeah 🙁 Sadly we had no ham, bacon, or any other pork products in the house.

Without knowing where you are, what type of person you are, or what type of person your date is, I’m gonna make a generic suggestion of some sort of class (cooking, pottery, wood turning, stained glass, painting, etc) that look interesting. Something that the two of you can learn together and have fun with.

Lemmy.world can see you.
