Hey, I'm David. I'm in my 4th year of Software Engineering at Cal Poly SLO and am looking for professional experience outside of class/personal projects.
I'm specifically interested in exploring any lower level applications. I have strong OS/Computer Architecture fundamentals and am very passionate about going deeper within those areas. Some of my projects include a non-preemptive threading library in C, a handwired breadboard CPU, and some Minix3 filesystem image cli tools.
This is all absolutely true. I have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t use chat. Some people use it as a personal tutor, most use it as a shortcut to finish assignments. Regardless, everyone is using it. LLM’s are great when used as a tool. Bouncing ideas and asking conceptual questions is a great way to learn (it really is as valuable as talking to a professor for a lot of questions). But how do you convince students to use LLMs as a learning tool instead of a cheating tool?
I think the solution is simple. Most people are short cutting with LLMs because they want a good grade, and they want it easy. So, stop with grading. The primary incentive for going to a class should be to pickup some new knowledge and skills, not to pickup a good grade.
As you say 'Uni' student are you in the UK or Australia ?
Also, do you do math courses ?
Are the math courses still based on 60% plus performance in exams ?
Are they far less impacted than other courses ?
It seems like one answer to the LLM thing is that all Uni grades become mostly dependent on exams written in person and that all essays and assignments are given a considerably lower weight.
Trump's proposed executive order just gives TikTok more time "so that a deal could be made." Honestly I don't understand how TikTok is able to restore service now before the executive order or even the inaugaration has occured.
There was no legal requirement they block service at all, only that other companies stop doing business with them (i.e. App Stores stop distributing, etc.)
Pretty sure Oracle had to turn off the servers. I feel like Oracle is now not complying with the law. Apple and Google appear to be as of writing this.
Yeah social media has gotten very predatory, especially since short form content blew up due to TikTok. I’ll have chats with people that are just an exchange of instagram reels and reactions.
HN is my only form of social media now on my phone. Now, it’s time to build meaningful relationships in my life again.
The FOMO is to get you to download the app, make an account, and deter you from uninstalling.
The real game is to keep you on the platform when you compulsively open it. You go in to check in on your second cousins, you stay to scroll through their TikTok clone or whatever attention harvesting algorithm is trendy currently.
A game that is overrun by cheaters makes it less fun to regular players. If regular players don’t want to play your game, it ends up being a hacker circle jerk before the servers stop getting consistent players at which point the game is dead. And a dead game is not interesting to potential buyers which affects the publishers revenue stream.
