I was also forced to learn multiplication table in my country in the first grade. The teacher will randomly select a student from the class (even if you don't raise your hand) and make you recite a number of her choosing. Now my kids are just learning it slowly in 3rd grade.

Oh the fixation for the 3 to 4 points is a thing in the school when I was young, but not in our family. My classmates families will fight for a point to get the highest honor. One family even exited the school before graduation because he didn't get the highest average and finished his schooling in the rival school.

When I was a kid, a grade below 75% average on all your subjects will make you repeat the level. I think that is not allowed now (repeating a level). My kids are now 5 & 9. They are on an IB program school. They show us a chart of where your kids lands statistically compared to other kids. I don't know where the statistics is derived from. I don't get a straight answer if every time I ask where the progress graph is taken from.

I grew up with students being given grades or scores to easily digest how we are doing and the computation of that grade is very open, like 80% test results 10% classroom participation and 10% project score. I think it's like that can't recall it is too long ago.

Now my kids are being educated and they track them with just three words and I even forgot the words. LOL. Something like this. Progressing is one of the word, mastering something something. I forgot the word for struggling since my child didn't have it. It is still absurd and it's hard to know how the kid is progressing. They still do test and some teachers are discouraging doing assignments. Weird timeline we are in.

He used codex on other devices. He just opened the Lenovo USB case no AI needed because the sd card can be read by using a reader. The USB connection is disabled/enabled by the fingerprint reader.

Why is that the common thinking, China has not even invaded a country for centuries. While the West particularly the USA have destroyed a lot of countries. Taiwan is even part of China since it is a rebel province. I really am curious why this idea is widespread in the USA.

The problem of SO is the duplicate question is years apart. The answer is now different because software version changes along with the APIs. Cancer killed SO, the aggressive policing and killing of noobs who want to contribute.

YUI library was amazing and all the Yahoo coding stuff, it is sad they were all just discarded because it was not financially viable.

It is hard to describe the feeling of seeing things getting archived in real life. It will be very sad once SO is deleted from the web. When I needed a good description of a new computer stuff I usually go to Anandtech and now the whole site is now gone and all the knowledge on it. The future generation can't even dig it out of the ground like what archeologist are doing right now to piece some of our history. One day SO will be deleted from the web and all the knowledge it holds just like the old Usenet and Yahoo/Google groups with vast knowledge just deleted.

It is a real thing. If you experienced the shift from CRT to the first generation of LCD screens and the CRT bros are not moving to the new technology because it gives them headaches and the majority of people are OK with the refresh rates. The 60fps to 120fps perception is hard to explain.

Their budget iPad I think got 70% increased in price a couple of months ago. I was planning to upgrade my iPad mini to the normal 11inch iPad and when I checked the price it was nowhere near the price I remembered I last saw it.

It makes sense for the manufacturer, they save a LOT of materials.

In Japan, the main stairs of the building is designed like fire escapes. It is unenclosed and mostly on the side of the building. When I first saw them I thought it was silly to have the stairs open to the environment during rain and snow. I finally realized they have double purpose.

In S. Korea almost all apartment buildings have their own escape lapel rope attached to the window and all have a fire proof blanket in the cabinet near the exit door.

In the computer world, wait a few years and things get cheaper. That was broken by an exceptional event. Who would have thought you can't afford DDR4 in 2026?

Ads is just a tiny part of Marketing.

They are basically rebranding the Folding@Home idea and adding modern words to market it.

They are probably trying but only succeeded after many failures and fix the food supply of a long sea journey, navigation and mapping of the sea.

The washing machine is the one that needs redesign to incorporate folding.

You see only the address when it is already paid and to be shipped. Cancelling credit card transaction is very costly to the merchant.

There are some section of a train line where 4 stations are owned by someone else and they change names along the same rail route. They also change the driver or whatever he is called when changing the company name of the train.

I think we are in the era we have so many CPU choices.

The West just a few years ago declared that at airport entry points, no one is including their citizen is not protected by any law when it comes to providing access to your private stuff.

What is Parakeet?

It was probably done on a foreign language on an archived forum. Claude is the improvement of the internet search box.

For the Capitalist crowd, YES it is the biggest cost. The next is energy. Imagine a world where your research and development is all AI and the production is all automated by robots. Instant product to sell to the masses who has no money because no one is working.

When you use page up and page down key when reading that blog the first line on the screen is obscured by the floating bar or what ever it is. It is not even needed for reading.

I reloaded my torpedoes but it is taking so long and it just keeps on blinking.

The submarine don't look like a submarine.

I am surprised he didn't try to lower the clock of the MCU of HDD first if he just wanted to delay the reply.

I don't see a future with humanoid robots inside the house. We probably will have specialized robots for certain task like the roombas.
