In real life there’s lots of bugs around and difficult to read error messages.

Re. the boilerplate just have students clone a pre-fabbed repo with the boilerplate handled for them.

The real question should be whether you want students to know how to program in a low programming language or not. Whether they should see what the reality of programming is or not.

If they can’t program in C/C++ and debug the error messages how are they going to survive in the wild? I guess they’ll use an LLM.

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

If anything spend your time on the code and let AI make the readme. If you’re basing the code quality on the readme maybe look at the architecture is a better way to judge a project. Seems a bit superficial like judging a book by its cover…

Don’t those decision models mainly route to other models? My understanding is that they wouldn’t handle a request but forward it along with some kind of semantic capability.

No, Jan 6th wasn’t part of the political process. It was politically motivated, but based on greed and delusion. Why do you think dominion voting got a billion in damages from Fox? Because they fueled the delusion and there was proof.

And yet people went out there with no idea instead of, you know, volunteering and helping with their local election office.

What? Quit Meta first to be honest. Then quite the others.

And what if nothing happens? Then they created a fucking mess and injuring people instead of being civil and participating in the political process.

How so? Anything to destabilize Europe benefits them. Something highly plausible is not a conspiracy theory, it is a sound strategic move for Russia given the circumstance. And it would be very easy to pull off since their people just fold into the crowd.

The rioters are causing damage they themselves will have to pay for in taxpayer dollars. So their cost of living will go up. The way French people protest is mental. I’m sure the Russians have agents on the ground inciting violence.

The people are concerned about the cost of oil I mean it’s the bombs that hit Iran that caused this not the French government.

Am I missing something? What drives people to burn shops down and assault people the next steps is assault rifles, so they should be happy without social media.

Sounds like you’ve been snorting too much iron oxide.

Why bother hacking his phone when the Russians can just trade it for a few barrels of oil.
