The latest was 9/11 and that is still quite relevant to us today.

The short repetitive sentences, and the “it’s not x, it’s y” tone

When you buy a Windows license, you expect at least a basic level of support from them in case something goes wrong. It is built into the cost.

Also - many many institutions have declared that what’s happening is a genocide, and unfortunately that hasn’t changed anything. (Perhaps naive of me to believe that it would change anything)

Valid question, but just look at the huge amount of R&D / the tech companies in Israel. Even if it’s near conflict, I don’t think companies care

I see - I feel the same way about Copilot (as my company uses the Microsoft ecosystem).

I’m never the one to defend AI, but what do you mean? Is it the “AI overview” that pops up on Google? Other than that, I would say Gemini is definitely less in your face than ChatGPT for example

The fact that it’s still highly likely to write like this and hallucinate information.

bless you as well for linking this !

Not pressuring you at all if this is hard to talk about - but if you're open to sharing more about how you were affected, I'd love to listen

Huh? I check Hacker News multiple times a day - it's not odd to click on an article within an hour of it being posted.

Must children's use of time be "productive"? They have their whole lives to be productive - outright banning video games is not the solution in my eyes

Excel? How does that work - first time I'm hearing of it being used in that way

This is incredible! Putting on my holiday to-do list :)

being sentenced to life for hacking is out of proportion

During the school year, teachers put in significantly more than the 8 hours they're physically at school. Marking, course planning, etc take up quite a bit of time that teachers must put in outside of work.

Any resources you'd recommend for learning those principles/standards used in more "rigorous" fields? thanks :)

I used to be your daughter! Super quiet, got all my work done on time, was seen as "gifted", but would lose absolutely everything (and I mean everything).

I really suggest some sort of setup to maintain structure as she gets older - being aware of a diagnosis or having medication / therapy would've really saved a couple painful years in university for me

I'm confused as to why you're bringing up "being cancelled" - it's not relevant to the conversation in the slightest.

Would be incredible if it was the same person

Have you given letterboxd a shot? Can be surprisingly hard

This discussion has been hashed out many a time. While they may not be an engineer by designation (PEng), the word is used often enough to refer to programmers that it is pedantic to reiterate the fact that they aren't "real" engineers.

I agree - however is it really productive to the discussion if multiple people are commenting the exact same thing every single time? Upvoting one comment that shares this sentiment is enough, in my opinion...otherwise any valid criticisms are overshadowed by this outrage over the name.

You're saying this like it's an objective fact...?

Are German schools behind? In North America, learning algebra means we learn to solve for x/y : solving quadratic equations is pretty much the ceiling for "algebra" and even that isn't taught until grade 8, usually grade 9.

This comment is a beautiful example of just that - if I read this correctly, you're already judging them for their take on spirituality . Please correct me if I'm wrong - but personally, approaching new ideas with an open mind, instead of a mind that has already come to a judgement, has served me very well .

Usually not - maybe if the name is super traditional, however first names are pretty much equal across castes.

If someone really wanted to find out, they would be able to.

You could misdirect someone just passively asking, however as soon as the questions got more pointed, you'd have a hard time keeping up the charade.

Something as simple as the clothes you wear or the food you ate or the mannerisms you had could "give you up".

Please list more things if you have some time

Respectfully - I must say, I feel as though you have a lot more control over how your daughter uses her smartphone than you think you do. In my eyes, smartphone usage cannot be compared to toxins like alcohol/drugs/tobacco, a global solution is impractical in this case.
