"MIT wants to rebuild education around the things AI can't replace. That means oral exams, semester portfolios, in-person project work, and a required social component in every subject. The report even floats the idea of rethinking grades entirely..." This is the way forward @tcddublin.bsky.social

This series was what got me into both comics and Britpop. Thanks to both you and @mckelvie.bsky.social for bringing this joy into my life.

Hoping this will cause someone to surface an off-brand SMBC author from the midcentury USSR. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/priori... PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com
3-panel SMBC comic update. Two women are talking as they walk. The first complains that "it’s barely worth doing physics. No matter what you think you have, it turns out some Russian guy got there 20 years ago." The second woman asks in horror if that principle apply more generally. The first woman asks why, as the second rushes to leave. Later, she sees her boyfriend Frank next to an older Russian man. She pleads with him "but frank, you told me I had your love." Frank replies "I’m sorry. it turns out Mikhail has priority."

Microsoft losing the plot to the extent that games running on Linux through a compatibility layer are now not only faster but *assumed to be faster* than games running natively on Windows should be an even bigger story than it already is
For gaming, Microsoft views steamOS as the benchmark, and is working to optimize the platform so that steamOS and Windows gaming performance are comparable. Within the next year or two, it believes that Windows will be able to truly compete head-to-head with steamOS in gaming performance on identical hardware due to foundational changes that are being made to the platform in the coming months.

Washington National Airport is really the place you want your pilot to have been Navy trained and not Air Force trained. It’s a short runway, and I’m gonna need you to land hard, with all your suspension, and like there’s arresting gear at the ready.

While I know this is a more than four year old tweet, I do believe with the successes of both Artemis I and Artemis II, Boeing is better at building large rockets then SpaceX is.
Eric Berger:

The only possible argument in favor of an upgraded SLS (outside of naked politics and socialism) is that you don't believe SpaceX can build large rockets. It's basically a bet that Boeing is better at building rockets (core stage and upper stage) than SpaceX.

That… that can’t be the END of Act III. I mean, satisfying in its own way after 16 years of looking forward to it, and a damn good listen, but that didn’t wrap up the threads if it’s meant as finale. Well, they’re performing it live tonight, so maybe we’ll have a fun surprise. #theprotomen

Repaired a final-gen ipod touch today, and it was a perfect example of why I don’t like modern Apple products: it required soldering to remove and install a new battery. when compared to a classic ipod, which was just a connector, the modern electronics truly aren’t built to be serviceable.
