The longer you think about it, the more absurd the idea becomes that for each i “nature” multiplies their value on X with β and adds to that a perturbation randomly drawn from ~N(0, sigma^2) so that they end op doing Y.

education is a collective practice of problematization and (re)imagination. we do it in between the time we spend pretending to "the taxpayer" that we are training ourselves for "jobs". how in the world would asking a computer what the answer is and memorizing that do anything useful??

No, you do not need "AI skills." "AI skills" refers to prompt engineering - being able to 'prompt the model correctly' to get anything approaching what you need. It is quite literally gaslighting you into doing the "intelligence" work for a so-called "AI."

Eerder deze week stelde NAVO-chef Mark Rutte dat we ons voor moeten bereiden op grootschalige vernietiging en massamobilisatie. In Duitsland is Ole Nymoen het gezicht geworden van het verzet tegen de dienstplicht sinds hij in een opiniestuk stelde niet bereid te zijn om te sterven voor zijn land.

Holy fucking shit ik haat Mark Rutte zo ontzettend veel
I stood at the grave of my great grandfather in Flanders. His grave is one of millions from WWI in Belgium alone. We must take the lessons from history and resist this march to mass slaughter and warmongering by the likes of Mark Rutte.

Misschien straks toch natuurkunde mogen studeren tegen gereduceerd tarief
Het Nederlandse onderwijs leidt veel te weinig technisch talent op, terwijl de instroom in opleidingen met beperkte arbeidsmarktkansen groot blijft. Daardoor komen middelen niet terecht waar de economie ze het hardst nodig heeft, schrijft voormalig ASML-topman Peter Wennink in zijn rapport.
Meer geld voor STEM, minder naar studies met kleine baankansen, adviseert Wennink - ScienceGuide
Afgelopen zomer kreeg Wennink van demissionair minister Vincent Karremans van Economische Zaken de opdracht om het veelbesproken rapport van Mario Draghi te vertalen naar de Nederlandse context. Die v...

Fuck actuariële risicotaxatie
Onderzoek | Ondanks jarenlange kritiek sluit Nederland nog steeds veelvuldig verdachten op in afwachting van hun zaak. Het gaat jaarlijks om dertienduizend mensen – in de toch al overvolle gevangenissen – die meestal niet verdacht worden van moord, doodslag of verkrachting.
