You are literally asking for a shitty search engine. What business would make a product purposefully bad for 99.9% of its potential customer base. And no, companies should not be making options for users to select which "algorithm" they want.

Was the first part really necessary? Im born and raised in America thank you very much. And my comment was specifically on failure of the school system itself. I agree with your point completely, but I just want to make the distinction between the education system and parenting. A school will never be able to instill the value of education into students by itself nor enforce it like a parent can. That's a inherent limitation not a failure. Not being active in your child's education is a failure of the parent.

I agree if it is in a major class not geared toward first year students. I'll describe my experience in a first year course. The professor goes over basic Linux commands for about 20-30 min during a lecture. From that lecture on, we are expected to know it. If you are struggling with it for a bit, then ask for help from the TA. It didn't take long for everyone to be on the same page for linux commands. I don't think you can really consider that hand holding. In all future courses, we are expected to be able to do use them. For ppl who transferred or are master students, they would learn by themselves to catch up (whether it be Linux, a new programming language, etc.) quick and ask TAs for help if need be. Routinely, I would have to learn new languages for a course in the beginning weeks on my own (maybe some help from a TA who would run a small crash course for us outside of class time). Most people probably don't go into CS or IT completely certain of their passion and that's fine. A lot of people develop that passion throughout the years after learning more and more about it along with the struggles (though all the late nights struggling to come up with proofs certainly didn't help my passion for CS). A lot of people I know who excel at CS came in without any programming experience, but were really strong in math. Now they are doing ML research, etc. etc. Even if they aren't passionate about CS, I nor employers care about their passion if they are competent and can do the work which most will be at the end of the program.

No I am not insisting that people who know how to use a file directory means someone is old. I am disappointed in people who conflate not being able to use a file directory with not knowing how because they haven't needed to use one yet. File directories aren't going away anytime soon if ever and even if it did, it will be for the better (or else they'll just revert back).

Is it really considered spoonfed to get some help on something you've never need to use before? Before you get to a 4 year university means at most 8 years (to really have the autonomy to self learn). Between school, figuring out themselves as people, hobbies (aside from interests in field of study like sports, music, etc.), social life and responsibilities, I don't blame them for spending that much time on self learning. Sure I was able to back then and it certainly did help me in being sure on what I wanted to do going into college, but its not like I didn't lose anything from doing so. I agree that most people don't want to dig deep on a lot of things, but I am sure there are other aspects of life that they do spend the time and effort on. In regards to education in the US, when I was in highschool doing calculus, there were others struggling with basic algebra that they should have learned in middle school. It wasn't that they couldn't have learned, they just didn't pay attention / care. It's really unfortunate. There is a failure in education in the US, but I don't believe it is the curriculum or method that's the problem. A bigger issue I see is that for those who are behind or didn't pay attention for a while, its really hard to catch up. There's no school resources or even encouragement to ask for more help if they are struggling so it just piles on and on until they just give up completely. It is only absurd because given your experience and interests, it is only natural that you've come across the need to learn it early on. It wasn't until I started my CS program that I learned about Vim or being as comfortable in a terminal as I am now. Some peers looked at me like I was dumb back then but I turned out just fine and probably doing better than a number of them now.

You say its geared toward the lowest common denominator, but in the field of software engineering, its called making better designs. We have a whole branch of computer science called Human Computer Interaction which studies and improves the usability of software. You are judging about the "TikTok generation" like they are adults, they are still children. All children are annoying and cringeworthy to observe. How about you judge them when they are in their late 20s and 30s? I bet you they probably not far off emotionally and academically from previous generations, if anything they'll probably know much more than you did at the same age. Its just how life is.

These are students who are struggling to learn something they never needed to do. So they take some time and learn it pretty quickly. And yes I generally accept the advice and diagnosis of my doctor. Sure its good to be knowledgeable and "do some BASIC research", but look what "doing your own research" has done for people in recent times: taking unapproved mediations in completely wrong concentrations, inhaling hydrogen peroxide in nebulizers, etc. And trust me, your nieces and nephew who are struggling with basic math aren't struggling with it because of the education, its because they haven't been instilled the value and importance of education. I've gone through it comparatively recently compared to you and the education was just fine.

Of course its the professor's job, especially for first year courses. I'm in computer science and that's the expectation, not everyone is going to be on the same page. A lot of people who end up excelling in computer science go into the program with no programming experience whatsoever. And it is not that they can't figure the file directory out, they just never had to. I'm sure all these students after a while got the hang of it because its not a hard thing to do. As for navigating folders in terminal, we actually had portions of a lecture going over basic linux commands like cd, ls, etc. in a first year course at a top tier CS program. And hey by the end of the lecture and for sure by the end of the week after doing some exercises, we all got the hang of it.

I don't see the problem with this at all. We have moved on in computing such that you don't need to know file directories, CLIs, etc. to function. In the end, if they need to know how to do it, they'll learn how to do it. That's literally how it is for everything and I am sure they have learned some skills and knowledge that you don't have / needed yet. As enthusiasts who tend a lot (if not too much) time with computers, we just were exposed to it at an earlier point and needed to learn sooner. Just a lot of old and/or techy people in this thread trying to make themselves feel superior.

The fact that the open source alternative was developed by reverse engineering the product and took data "for interoperability". Even if none of the original code is in it, the fact that they likely decompiled it and saw how it worked and wrote code based on their observations is very sketch to me. He must not be affiliated with a university because this would be a huge violation at least from my limited experience in a research lab.

But its not. Chip production hasn't fallen much at all, in fact companies like TMSC have ramped up production during the pandemic. It's the increased demand of people staying at home that people didn't foresee (at least not with the lead times you need to ramp up factories) causing the shortage.

You mean the site that constantly crashes under load and takes forever to actually compile. I started off using Overleaf before I realized that these massive wait time to compile my work aren't inherent to Latex, its from Overleaf. Also sure LaTeX has its place and can produce a better result, but just not in anywhere near the same time. For the quality expected from documents in the workplace (unless you are in academia), you just can't compete with something fast and easy to use like Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, etc.

Maybe if these CEOs were talking out of their domain. But as the CEO of an absolutely massive networking hardware (and software) company like Cisco, I would imagine he would have a pretty good idea of the supply chain that directly affects their business. Sure its still a guess, but probably a much more informed guess than most of "everyone else".

the colors are nice ig, the look is pretty ass tho.

yeah no, the complexity is by far the hardest thing that is demonstrated in this video. Asimo is cool for what it is but can't do shit compared to what is shown in the video. The dynamic movement, the ability to balance on one foot, being able to jump in a meaningful manner, the ability for it to do complex movements that require it to carry momentum over from previous states, etc. The actual hardware itself (actuators, batteries, materials, etc.) aren't drastically different from 20 years ago. The amount of computing power, planning algorithms, advancements in computer vision, etc. and absolute talent concentrated at BD. is what has.
