I’m the guy in the background saying “go back to teaching Euclid and proof in schools”, as the real point was to teach logical deduction from established facts.

Yeah, the teacher is going to get a fun talk with management and probably be forced to write an apology.
Teaching is a risky job these days, and thus not done as well as it could be in a world without parental bozos.
Dear gods… Is that user deluded?

91·10 days agoI mean, how exactly do you create a “sustainable” rocket? Genuinely curious, as the sheer amount of energy it takes to escape the earth’s gravity well would render this an almost impossible feat.

425·10 days agoIn 1969, the cold war filled the hearts of the world with dread. Today, we live in times that echo this sentiment.
The launch of 1969 was made with the hope of a better future, and though we cocked it up a drainpipe the first time, maybe we’ll take the right path and echo the sentiment “for all mankind”.

2·11 days agoHonestly? I’m on the 3rd cycle with my AAAs (used for an MP3 and small electronics) and the 2nd for my AAs.
I’ve not noticed them lasting less, and I’ve already made back what disposables would cost.
Bonus: I charge them at work because why not.

Grid balancing is no joke - you’ll likely have new nuclear up and running before you rebuild the grid of an entire nation (which is needed for renewables to take the lead).
Let’s not forget, lithium for batteries, a key element in a renewable grid (to help offload and balance) is also not widely produced in Europe. Water batteries could work, but those are not small projects.
Nuclear is your “short” term because renewables (grid rebuild) are still a long term project.
- Migrate code and back it up
- Set up local AI
- Have local AI “patch” your github code by converting the entire program into brainfuck (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck?wprov=sfla1)
- Merge patched version to GitHub
- Profit

3·21 days agoScreen reader should pick that up.
It’s a bit trickier in LaTeX (depending on layout), given they convert to an untagged pdf by default using pdftex. For defaults such as section/subsection etc I think some auto-tagging has been added, but my memory is not great.
Issues crop up when you need to hack something (e.g. indenting parts of a proof using the quote environment to aid readability, creating more complex tables, or just using coloured text to indicate element relations), and here manual tagging is a must!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How does Onlyfans models earn thousands and in some cases millions per month, meanwhile a lot of opensource developers earn less than 1000$ per month?
2·28 days agoApples to oranges - open source is generally done as a charitable act; onlyfans is a profit driven industry.
The former is out to make the software ecosystem richer, the latter is out to make themselves richer (or has no choice).
An interesting note is that OF replaced the informal system that had evolved on Tumblr, and was designed to be less exploitative than mainstream pornography - in this the evidence suggests it has been successful. It, of course, exploits male loneliness like a well oiled machine, but that’s (apparently) ok.
Back when software had a soul…









A lot of the issue with logic problems is the “common sense” element required. With purely geometric problems, there are less of these to worry about.
Chess problems also work well to teach logical step application.
