If you ask parents what they want for their kids, many will say "I just want them to be happy." But there are drugs that achieve this, and taking them results in disaster. So that is probably not what we should want.

HN's moderation team, everyone:



Everything in this thread, and past HN threads, is fine. But a typo in a random comment halfway down the page of a story halfway down the page (which, BTW, has nothing to do with technology)? That's what's really deserving of their time and attention.

dang is Good People™, yo :(

Those phones contain all the knowledge the school pretends to teach the students. Techers are worried because they see telephones as competition.

This would be a nice experiment: Divide the students into two groups and let one group come to school without phones and let the other group stay home and learn the same material from their phones. If the material to be learned is well-defined I believe that students staying at home with their phones will learn the material much faster.

The only good thing about the school is that you get to hang out with your peers. The education system is not good for teaching.

Our worldly gentlemen have even more opinions on art!

alx_the_new_guy 51 minutes ago | parent | context | flag | favorite | on: Devin: AI Software Engineer

Art as a concept is basically meaningless these days.

What is art? Apparently, anything can be art, so what's the difference between art and not_art?

From my personal experience, it is used more as a lovely excuse for substandard/lame/overpriced stuff to exist. And to boost it's creator's ego.

AI certainly isn't really doing it, just as people aren't.

gently caress art.
