I was in high school when they first said that computers could teach kids - at least, for arithmetic drill. In the 50 years since, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were really sure that computers would transform education.

Nope.

Notice that the lords of AI are NOT claiming they can replace that job? No fewer elementary school teachers?

It's because that's one area of human work where the KNOW they will fail. Again.

Kudos to The Verge for having the fortitude to speak plainly and decisively, instead of crouching underneath a faux "impartiality."

Elon Musk’s first month of destroying America will cost us decades

Let’s review: the defunding of crucial social programs, mass unemployment, alienating our allies, and just plain incompetence. The nightmare is here.

We see Mr. Spok from "Star Trek" at his screen, he is sitting on his turnable office chair. Holding on to his buttons still, he is turning around, presumably to speak to the captain. The caption quotes him "We are receiving posts from decentralised social media... apparently, some part of the civilization survived." On the screen is a very small QR-code.

Most responses here have already covered the reasons why or why it's not ready. The Steam Deck is the closest to plug & play, while most don't even realize it runs a Linux OS. So, I guess that's a good start. But once something does rear its ugly head, that's where the "average" consumer wouldn't know why something doesn't work, while others, like me, whom have used Linux to play games, have the ability to troubleshoot issues that arise. It's not ready yet. Getting close though.

what a cover
the front cover of the 1984 book "Artificial Intelligence in BASIC" by Mike James. It depicts a three dimensional egg whose surface appears to be made of curved circuit board, with visible copper traces and green solder-mask. From approximately the egg's center of mass emanates a bright starburst-like flash

Small businesses are considered the backbone of the U.S. economy.

They account for 99.9% of all U.S. businesses and employ nearly half of the American workforce.

Small businesses generate 44% of U.S. economic activity and have created two-thirds of all new jobs in recent decades.

man this driving test is so easy
Question Nine You are approaching an intersection with a set of traffic lights. The lights are red. You want to turn right. What do you need to do? Select all that apply. ☐ Begin indicating right approximately ten seconds before reaching the intersection ☒ Begin indicating left approximately two seconds before reaching the intersection, then panic (despite no present danger) and fumble the indicator into the reset position, then indicate right ☒ Begin braking, then stop braking and engage the clutch (you have not yet internalised the concept of braking while engaging the clutch), take five seconds to shift into second, then brake hard (you only have a few metres of stopping distance remaining) ☐ Gently brake and shift into a lower gear ☒ Brake way too hard and do not engage the clutch, stalling the car ☒ Check your rear-view mirror to decide whether or not you should be nervous about the number of cars behind you (everyone else on the road is judging you constantly)
Question Twenty-Four You are approaching a stop sign. How hard should you brake? A) ☐ Way too much B) ☐ Way too little C) ☐ The correct amount D) ☒ B, followed by panicking, followed by A

In 2025, #PLOSBiology continues to advocate for policy based on scientific evidence.

I feel strongly about the need for evidence-based policy and a dogged defence of science. I said it in 2020, and will reiterate it til the end of time.

The world may change - our principles should not.

This 2020 Editorial, “We need leaders that believe in scientific evidence”, resonates today as loudly as ever: plos.io/34lyl59.

PLOS Biology also continues to push for DEI and a diverse scientific community:
plos.io/3rzxczU

We need leaders that believe in scientific evidence

In a world beset by attempts to undermine scientific evidence and evidence-based policy, we emphasize their important role in helping humanity rise to the challenges of our time.

Current events have shown how important it is to massively shift away from billionaire social media platforms. For our mental health, for democracy itself!

There is much to do to convince people that decentralised social media is not only good enough; its lack of feed algorithms makes it *better*. After all, feed algorithms serve platform owners, not platform users.

Help us campaign for this historic shift. We offer 3-9 week fellowships to
resident activists (Leipzig, Germany).

(link in bio)

We see a title in pink letters saying "CALL FOR ACTIVISTS". Below it says "to work on a Decentralized Social Media Campaign" in blue letter. Below are two squares right next to each other forming a horizontal rectangular, the left square is black and bears the X.com logo, saying "X" underneath, the right square bears the mastodon logo and is blue, and it says "mastodon" underneath. Between the squares is an arrow pointing from left to right. Underneath, it says "Live-in Stipends pay for room and board" in blue letters.
