The jump is very likely due to AI usage and lack of skills in mathematics. It seems like prerequisite classes are not being fulfilled. "Ranade said students are expected to enter t…

In fairness to the article, they are saying there is no evidence on how it will affect teens because all the studies excluded the audience that the ban was for. "Not a single socia…

Phase B clearly says compilation is the next goal. The first goal is to get a like for like logic, the second goal is to get it to compile. Can you guess what the third goal will b…

This entire article is basically saying "What are we doing? What's going on?" and I could not agree more. My own experience with coding agents has been FOMO cause if I don't have f…
