Servers: Ubuntu Server 24.04.4

Containers: Debian Trixie or specific images for the project I'm working on

I wish, just check Atlanta - winding stroads as far as the eye can see

Funnily enough one of the first genai-type projects I ever stumbled across, Anonymouth, was intended for exactly this

That's exactly how school works especially in the lower grades - we don't have kindergartners writing papers, we have them hands-on with the subject. Doing experiments in science class to learns concepts like gravity or density is key to how we teach well before the concept of writing papers is introduced 

Deleting cats can be illegal depending on state but trust me there are plenty of legal, loud exhausts

It's going to differ by subject but take for example a science class: lab activities like having students, in-class come up with a hypothesis, a methodology, and then the ability to carry out the experiment, and form a conclusion. AI can help and teachers should help them use it correctly. Or in history, you can set up debates between two "sides". Think of teaching about the push for unions in the US - have them represent the capitalists and the union leaders. AI can aid with research, have them then manually confirm each to teach about AI hallucinations, then have them debate in-class. I would argue papers are some of the worst ways to ensure students understand a topic but I'm biased as that's just not how my brain works and I always hated writing papers vs doing research and demonstrating understanding 

If the class is a writing/language class then yes, work on writing. But if the class is history and writing is simply the task to gauge understanding of the topic, that's no longer the correct approach 

This Apple TV deal has me fucking pissed - I just want a nice little Sky Sports torrent within a few hours of the race, is that too much to ask?

Me, I do - but I also don't think we should switch back and forth; just keep DST. Who the fuck cares if it's dark at 5:30am, we are meant to be asleep at that time

Counterpoint, it means that writing papers is no longer a good exercise for ensuring students are learning material and teachers need to adapt. AI isn't going away and it's a disservice to students to not teach them how to use it, how to find good primary sources, etc 

It's a bit more transparent in this instance though which is what makes this story so bizarre and sad

When Ieet other Linux folks in person, they're great. Online though ...
