There were a lot of initial economic studies done as electric cars started taking off trying to figure out how to pay for road infrastructure as the USA funded a lot of its infrastructure on gas taxes and that revenue stream was going to go away.

One of those studies found that, if you billed out the infrastructure costs per mile and included all other non-human costs of driving a car around, it was cheaper to have an empty car drive around than to pay for parking in certain urban areas.

Sounds like Waymo figured this out.

Colleges haven’t been training people how to read for centuries; it has been assumed that people entering college could read and write with a pen for a long time and college shifted with it.

And the collegiate system wasn’t based on Confucian teaching styles.

Yeah, but part of it is because students complained, the current ranking of universities don’t include quality of undergraduate education, and the public didn’t really understand what college was for when providing funding with strings attached.

You can argue that primary and secondary school was about workforce productivity, but college was designed for leadership training.

Unless the existing staff break down and can’t do enough work to keep the place running, management don’t care.

They’re greedy, not stupid.

The point of an undergraduate degree isn’t knowledge; knowledge is only the first level in Bloom’s Taxonomy, a set of six levels of how people understand different topics.

The problem with the use of AI in college is that students are supposed to get to the application point in undergrad and that college is supposed to provide that practice. Using AI in college is like using a machine to lift weights. Sure, the weights are moved, but it doesn’t benefit the person who needed the exercise.

Don’t you understand, the Fediverse is serious business!

The outfit is effectively picked out for him. Him choosing what to wear could mean he was giving an opinion on the speech.

The Prime Minister.

The King’s Speech is effectively when the Prime Minister sticks his hand up the King’s ass and uses the King as a puppet to speak to his or her political goals for that session of Parliament.

I hope so too.

I feel like the big question is going to be how Trump responds, since he’s a flip of a coin. This agreement could get him the ability to disengage from the Middle East to focus on Cuba (what he wants, not what I want), but I can see the Zionist wing in office not wanting peace between the Arab world and Iran.

Maybe the Arab world would choose to break with the USA over this. However, I don’t know what the implications would be if that happened.

According to the US military, it takes 64 weeks to learn Japanese as a native English speaker as it would take 26 to learn Spanish as a native English speaker.

Say what you want about the US military, but they likely have a lot of data in learning how long it takes for native English speakers to learn other languages.

Well, the Lemmy devs have stated that their goal isn’t to design a system that scales well and it shows. Part of it is that there may be a future where there are too many new users for a mod team to handle, especially if the barrier for signing up is extremely low.

The USA has had a victories after World War II. However, it usually requires a limited set of strategic goals.

Hello. Nice to meet you too. I hope you like it here.

It is great to see that people in China can participate in this little slice of Internet.

Yeah. I look at it as a lot of the priests performing inquisitions were likely on the spectrum.

What I do now, use old.reddit on my computer and keep to the subs I can’t get on Lemmy.

There may be some mental tasks that other animals can probably do better than humans. However, if you’re talking about complex topics like mathematics, I would bet on modern humans being better given that being good at math is far more likely to be an evolutionary advantage to humans over other animals.

Eh, not really?

There is obviously a size differential between Mexico and El Salvador which makes a big difference on what measures Mexico can implement compared to El Salvador due to the size difference and the federalized nature of Mexican politics. Yet, the importance is to show that there is an alternative to Bukele’s dictatorship model in restoring rule of law over organized crime.

Yeah. If it was just sex, there are states you can go to to get that cleared up.
