Yeah, and a Matrix instance

Edit: Just read that this covers grades 4 - 8 so what I said doesn't apply.

Idk there are definitely some courses that I don't think could have been covered in just the allotted class time without additional practice in order to be prepared enough for the university level, particularly high school mathematics and AP Calc, and physics.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

As related as they are, though, CS and IT are still separate disciplines so idk, as much as some CS people are struggling to find work too, I feel like CS people specializing in development isn't super relevant to the struggles of an IT person looking for IT work since only a minority of IT grads go on to become developers.

Although one way that CS grads can have an effect on IT people's employment chances I think—anecdotally, in a way that applies to my local area at least—is that fresh CS grads are preferred over fresh IT grads for IT roles, and often better paying ones. But more experience and/or having the right certifications can give anyone an edge on either side. The catch is there's usually far less people graduating with a CS degree than an IT diploma, and only a fraction of them are interested in an IT track career.

Where I'm from IT is usually a 2 year diploma at the local college, or at most an associate's degree and there wouldn't really be a path to further that academically by doing, like, a master's degree or whatever which limits the options of IT grads but also makes them less desirable I guess as the education isn't as rigorous. According to Google, other parts of the country offer a full on IT bachelor's but at that point I'd be asking why someone used that 4 years on a vocational degree that's pretty limiting instead of an academic or engineering degree. Anyone with a technical skillset can learn IT on the job, but a proper CS, CE, or SWE curriculum is difficult.

To be clear, I don't disagree with what you said it just felt disconnected from the context of IT employment.

Is the AI open source? Curious what you're using and what your experiences with it are.

Did they? I think I remember some authors no longer taking payment for them. Maybe some others took theirs down of their own accord. I don't remember hearing about Google themselves taking anything down

You'll call a Phillips a Phillips but not a Robertson a Robertson or an Allen an Allen, smh

And trying to get by on a single income is a fucking nightmare for a lot of people.

Outrage is a social media staple, it's not just Lemmy.

I think I heard about it actually, it's the issue where people make up shit on the spot online to confirm their biases

Daddy Druckmann must subsist on meals of mainstream praise and developer crunch, how else would Daddy Druckmann survive.
