Students can now focus on more high level valuable tasks: understand the domain, compare evaluation methods, compare models, balance tradeoffs, present solutions/reports, etc.

You honestly believe that students that don't have the tenacity to stick with learning a simple set of verbs and grammar are going to have the tenacity to learn concepts steeped in jargon?

I do mean learn, which AI use has been repeatedly shown to be detrimental to.

What? This is what the DMCA was designed for. How would it be fraud?
So I'm guessing your user satisfaction has gone up a bunch and revenue now reflects your increased productivity?
All you need to us actually look around, has software quality dramatically increased over the last year? Have useful features been coming out at an unprecedented rate?

Because after all this talk about being left behind and I see nothing to show for it.

That case had the owner performing an action they were led to believe would have prevented the car from rolling but potential defects prevented it from doing so.

Not a great fit.

Your marketing that starts with:

That marketing?

Really... what makes it illicit?

> Personally I prefer `class="btn primary"` over `class="btn-primary"` just because it aligns conceptually with what "class" literally means, but I have run into folks that would think it's confusing that there's no top-level .primary rule.

Especially now that there is native nesting, these prefix selectors really seem like the wrong way to go.

People who have intellectually based skills think it makes them an intellectual.

They fail to understand that their skill doesn't generalise.

That and the hyperglazing and platforming they get for having said skill makes them a prime candidate for exposing how average they are.

It still butchers long strings of digits if they are more than around 12 and less than around 15 digits long, its very annoying still.

Also textjoin and textsplit and the whole spill functionality.

I dont have a heap of colleagues with kids in the targeted age range (11-16) but those that do said their kids got around it quickly.
