It IS easier than reading the documentation, just like using a GPS is easier than reading a map.
In both cases, the harder task helps you build a mental model much better than the easier task.
For the GPS it doesn’t really matter much, since the stakes are low–it’s not important to build a mental model of a city if you can always use GPS.
With programming I’m more cautious – not knowing what you’re doing can lead to serious harms. Just look at the Therac.
It’s been well documented. It lets them say in their statistics that the owner was in control of the car during the crash
The system is cheating them
Rich and poor cheat the system in different ways.
The rich can afford to put their kids in supportive schools that will teach those willing to learn a hell of a lot, and those that don’t want to learn can benefit from the network effect.
AI helps the poor cheat the system by avoiding the work and learning, depending on a language tool to process language for them.
I would not ponder this orb
Huh I thought matrix was pretty new, and people used irc back then.
Something something the first 300 meters are the hardest…
The amount of political capital it takes to restrict capitalism is huge. We had restrictions on sports betting. Now that they’ve been removed, billionaires can spend money on lobbyists and continue to exploit people ruining their lives through addiction.
Servo?
Shows people using the LLM thought less about it and probably learned less.
Sometimes students are motivated to learn, but there’s always the temptation to just get the work done and relax…
I’ve always thought that researchers should plot outcomes against commute times.
Cool, so this puts yt-dlp on Kodi and downloads videos before watching them. Hopefully this works better for older hardware than the YouTube plugin, which I think has to use more computationally expensive methods to stream from YouTube directly with the cat and mouse game between yt and them.
Do you know, does it keep the video files it downloads, or does it delete them automatically?
You have different definitions of “political”
In my country at least, there are differences of opinion about whether queer people can exist in public, use the bathroom, etc., and the people in power are endangering everyone. So pride is very much political.
How do you get sponsorblock to integrate? You’re talking about anxdpanic’s YouTube addon right? https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube/releases
I think maybe YouTube a/b tests us so it works better for some people. For me it often crashes, I assume due to overheating on my raspi 4.
How about governments?
YouTube support is unfortunately spotty, via the YouTube addon that they are in a constant cat and mouse game with Google. It often makes my pi overheat because of the nonsense it has to do.
I wish libreelec could launch a browser with Firefox, ublock, and sponsorblock
You might know of Organic Maps, the open source app that’s an alternative to Google Maps. Recently, concerns have been raised about its governance, with many contributors questioning the project’s transparency and direction.
Despite being advertised as a community-driven project, key decisions, including financial management, partnerships (with Kayak, for instance), and the inclusion of proprietary components in the code were made by a small group of shareholders, often without input from the broader contributor community.
These shareholders have reportedly used the project’s donation funds for personal expenses, like holiday trips, raising serious concerns about financial transparency.
As a result, many contributors teamed up and forked the project, establishing CoMaps, a new alternative focused on openness and being not-for-profit.
Didn’t they crash the market that one time
