Haven't you heard about the millions of dollars trying to 'convince' the CEO of doing so?

Just to be accurate then: "it" refers to Mozilla (all and any products).

It'll be the last straw for me.

The strange case of "TLA+" topics reaching HN's Front Page without any reason.

New comment by fl4tul4 in "The Problem of Teaching Physics in Latin America (1963)"

I guess the whole discussion (in 1963, in 2025), is about 'knowledge acquisition' (or lack thereof). He mentions the Brazilian students memorising 'stuff' without understanding - as a former Brazilian educator, I can tell you that when I was working there in 2010-2020, it hadn't changed, and, to my point, got worse in late years. I think a lot of students care about 'getting a diploma' without actually learning something, but my main concern is about fairness: how could I praise good students from 'devious' students altogether?

Fast-forward to 2025.

The same problems still exist, exacerbated by the prevalence of LLMs and no detection mechanisms whatsoever.

The recipe for disaster.

What is the `truth` really?

That question has 'plagued' philosophy since its inception.

Good post to make us think, thanks for posting.

AI isn’t replacing people: leaders are.

The real disruption is whether we use it to multiply human potential, or to shrink it in the name of control.

He'll be highly missed, one great actor.
