Irremarkable

Yeah I’m sure I’d probably be using chatgpt these days if I were still in school instead of paying the frankly stupid amount Chegg cost.

I imagine it varies quite a bit depending on the subject and who’s doing the answers. There were 3 or 4 answer authors that I learned to recognize as consistently quite good in the areas I needed it in.

I guess I had a much different experience with Chegg than most.

For a handful of my classes, it was the only way to consistently get similar problems with worked out solutions. I’m not going to pretend I never was lazy and used it to cheat, but most of my usage was of problems I wasn’t assigned so I could see how they were done.

That said, I can’t speak as to how they pay the people that actually do the work, that may be a whole can of worms that I really probably should’ve looked into when I was using it.

I would say that’s an accurate description for a barbie doll that explodes personally.

I’m sure this varies a lot from district to district, but the districts that I have teacher friends in, they’ve been using Chromebooks almost exclusively for the better part of a decade now

The most common explanation I’ve seen, and imo it makes sense, is that things mostly just work now. Even XP required a helluva lot more troubleshooting and messing with stuff to make it work than today. So you not only have a bunch of people that have no troubleshooting experience, a large portion don’t even know how to properly search for things.

On the flip side, you have a lot more people doing insanely impressive stuff at a lot younger ages because if you have the drive to do it, there’s more material to learn than ever out there.

Cryptobros are mad people have realized they’re full of shit

Some people really don’t think before they speak do they

Yeah this is honestly an order of magnitude less that I would’ve thought

This relies on the assumption that everyone else, or at least a significant portion, in the office managed to do it.

I’m not talking about whether or not they’re actually physically capable of it, of course they are. Im talking about how people immediately shut down and pretend they can’t follow simple directions the second something relates to a compute.

You wildly overestimate the average person’s willingness to do that.

Maybe it’s just because I’m older and more jaded, but that really feels like the last truly good era for GPUs.

Those 10 series cards had a ton of staying power, and the 480/580 were such damn good value cards.

Considering the mining industries for many of the rare earth metals needed? Yeah he does.

Plus there’s the whole apartheid emerald slave mine thing, which is how daddy made the money he got to play with.
