>That "smart kids are bored in class" thing is bs unless your kid has savant intelligence (Terence Tao level).

Nah, pretty much everyone of slightly above average intelligence spends most of school bored.

Yeah, "bored" is a shared symptom which can come from a broad set of causes which call for different responses.

Some non-exhaustive examples:

1. Bored because they already knows the material.

2. Bored because the particular in-class activities are not engaging but they'll make more progress at home.

3. Bored because the entire subject seems like pointless memorization.

4. Bored because of a neurochemical issue.

5. Bored because the lesson is over their heads, and they need to be distracted.

"Bored" as the reason that a student is underperforming is almost always bs. If you're so smart then just perfect the material and ace your tests. It should be exciting not boring.

I went to a magnet high school. The very smart kids have a lot of fun running circles around everybody else.

man that's super shady that they didn't rename the split if they didn't have buy in from the original devs to take over the project.

The people who worked on NetHack4 are now members of the mainline DevTeam and were heavily involved in the 5.0 release.

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that the unauthorized uses outnumber the legitimate ones.

>Buried important detail: this is an art project, no actual electronics were built, none of it can or does work as a computer.

This, I don't understand why everyone is acting like this is impressive, unless they failed to read the article.

>Not to detract from the amazing feat the teacher and students achieved

Feel free to detract from it. It's not an amazing feat.

I wonder if this works to get it to generate images it doesn't want to generate.

>We had to buy those calculators for highschool and it was a waste of money, felt like somebody must be paying somebody off to have thousands of students buy a device that they will certainly never have to use (and is of little educational value).

I suppose it depends if you took advanced math classes or not.

My high school required one for a math curriculum that was specifically designed with the idea that students would not need advanced math classes. It kids up for failure if they were hoping to move toward higher level math in college, as the fundamentals were never adequately taught. But at least they sold thousands of calculators to kids who would never use them again.

They actually started us on them in 7th or 8th grade.

$100 for something you'll use all through middle and high school and into college isn't a bad deal.

I would have preferred a proper math education. I would have paid more for that.

I actually need a TI-82 in 7/8th grade, a TI-83 in high school, then college wanted a TI-89. I was having to upgrade every few years.

>We just got sent a document that amounted to "please set up a CNAME for us", but was multiple pages long and had detailed instructions on how to do various troubleshooting tasks before, during, and after creating the CNAME, mixed in so that it was impossible to tell what the actual request was.

I noticed shit like that pre-AI, but at least then it was written by a person and conceivably useful info, even if redundant and not always necessary. I can't imagine how bad it's going to get with all the AI slop now.

I like how the AI seems forced to change their ethnicity to keep up with the color changes. Absolutely wild.

>The furry fandom is very sweet

Except the large portion of it that uses it as sexual fetish.

Im not part of that portion. i swear you know.
