Could things be better? Sure. But saying we're "wasting" all this time seems a little disingenuous. How much time do people spend maintaining tractor equipment to grow crops? Or really any tools of any trade?
The equipment and tools we use let us be more productive overall with certain tradeoffs.
Really? Pretty much every school I've ever seen has a special office of tutors that takes care of the various affirmative action admits. And also athletes. Definitely athletes. I don't think I've ever seen any such office for legacy students. Ever. Or even heard about some covert version.
Can you explain a scenario where this might be the case? The only one I can imagine is assuming that legacy students are rich and so they can just toss around more money on private tutors. Perhaps. But then the right statement is to say that rich students have better access.
That's the point... They're accepted because their family resources make them more likely to be successful which is what Harvard is trying to select for.
She is literally a walking biohazard. She got her due process, lost, and then ignored the court order. From the article it sounds like she can still refuse treatment but she can't keep being a risk to the public.
Edit: And to your point about "no crime," reckless endangerment is a crime. Defying court orders is a crime.
The number is 40%, and it's 40% of code written by Copilot users. It's also just for Python:
> In files where it’s enabled, nearly 40% of code is being written by GitHub Copilot in popular coding languages, like Python—and we expect that to increase.
From what I remember they check in at a few intervals after the suggestion is made and use string matching to check how much of the Copilot-written code remains.
My first two internships were at an insurance company. Everyone was busy. Not saying your job wasn't what it was but I can't say it's representative of everything outside Silicon Valley.
We have a project that is basically an internal, stripped down version of CodePen and others like it. All code samples are stored in git.
The main challenge for something like our app is search. Git is good at creating files and managing versions/branches but not good at search files or their content. I'm not a git expert to fully backup that claim but that's been our experience. You can layer on your own search capabilities if you need it but then you might want to start asking if a full DB is better.
Perhaps not depressing but certainly unhelpful. If I'm spend time thinking about other more interesting stuff, I tend to get sucked into those things. Which just means I've got zero focus on stuff I need to get done.
I work on internal UI libraries that we use in our products. We updated our designs maybe 4-ish years ago and we're already getting feedback from customers that our designs look dated.
