Frosted Flake posted:You need to be able to do the calculations correctly to identify when something is wrong because of an incorrect input or other problem. If you don’t understand at least the principle and can’t do the rough math mentally, you won’t know why you’re dropping 200m short, and your corrections are short also.

The Oldest Man posted:Yeah they should have gone all the way like the Russians did and had another book that told you how many tubes you needed firing how many rounds for how long to kill so and so number of troops and such and such number of vehicles in so large an area. They had a chart for how long to plan marching a certain distance. So if you need to march idk 16km (avg rate of march is like 4 kph), you need 15 minutes of planning time first, so schedule 4 hours 15 minutes.

19 o'clock posted:it’s obnoxious to me. I heard a radio DJ say basically what I posted (except he seemed to really mean it). the dude was honestly wondering “why do we teach so much when people can just look it up online? my kids can just google what they want to learn they don’t need it in school.” Have you ever been in an actual Public School in the Deep South? Do you know what the School-to-Prision pipeline is or why it's even a thing? everybody learns DIFFERENTLY, which nobody in the American Educational System gives a poo poo about. This kid can't do Linear/Quadratic Equations/Long Division/Multiplication/Addition/Subtraction in his head or without a calculator and fire the answer out in .05 seconds?... welp we tried  what a loving Arrword time to put him in SpecialEd with all the  dumb kids where he will Definitely Totally not grow up with a chip on his shoulder, actively avoid anything even remotely involving Spatial Reasoning, and with an almost violent hatred for anyone involved with this whole god forsaken and frankly racist, hierarchical Institution! ....buuut I'm sure it's just a "me" problem BornAPoorBlkChild has issued a correction as of 03:57 on Apr 13, 2023 |

Paradoxish posted:We do grocery shopping for my girlfriend's parents because they have trouble getting to the store. They are ridiculously consistent in what they buy, pretty much always getting the exact same stuff week after week. We started saving their receipts out of curiosity when we noticed prices skyrocketing a couple of years ago and the total bill more than doubled in that time even with us making store-brand substitutions. I grabbed some Diet A&W tonight for mixers for drinks. It ran me $8.29 (on sale) for a 12-pack. Like even in the immediate aftermath of covid two years ago, it was $3 or maybe $4 for a 12-pack. I live in a low COL city.

lmao, juul reached a massive settlement among a handful of states, and this was part of the agreement:quote:Embattled electronic-cigarette maker Juul Labs Inc. will pay $462 million to six states and the District of Columbia, marking the largest settlement the company has reached so far for its role in the youth vaping surge, state attorneys general said Wednesday. (How Do You Do, Fellow Youths) States are pretending that they're going to use the funds for prevention but everyone knows from the cig settlement & the liar-mortgage settlement poo poo usually gets thrown into general revenue: quote:“Juul lit a nationwide public health crisis by putting addictive products in the hands of minors and convincing them that it’s harmless,” New York Atty. Gen. Letitia James said in a statement. “Today they are paying the price for the harm they caused.” https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-04-12/juul-labs-agrees-pay-462-million-vaping-settlement-6-states

x-posting from Pop Culture thread because I was reminded that AI was going to become a major thing in the military any day now since 1990 and lol the holes in neoliberalism are really telling imo: "Fourth, the military profession will be strongly influenced by the development of new defense technologies, particularly digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI). One of the key questions is whether in the mid-term AI will replace human decision making in defense organizations. The answer is likely no, but AI will definitely be valuable in enhancing the human capacity to process huge amount of data and to increase immensely human effectiveness in decision making. To win future wars, defense organizations will have to leverage specialized skills in digital automation and AI. In addition, it is important that commanders have experts with a data science background, as well as people with on-the-ground expertise—i.e., people who understand use-cases and objectives." "Military applications developed with artificial intelligence (AI) will undeniably mark the end of an epoch. AI is a priority defense issue for all military powers of the twenty-first century. The U.S. and China are currently at the forefront of the new digitalized arms race. The French MoA believes that AI will be crucial for tomorrow’s military operations. A new dedicated agency has a budget of 100 million euros to handle all AI projects and ventures until 2025, and more than 200 experts will be recruited. Human-machine interface (HMI) technology has been used in different industries, like electronics, entertainment, military, and medicine, and helps in integrating humans into complex technological systems. The interface consists of hardware and software that allow user inputs to be translated as signals for machines that, in turn, provide the required result to the user." "The use of electronic control systems, HMI, and AI has initiated profound changes in military practice. It has redefined operational tactics, widened the scope of activities, and also effected the way forces are trained, managed, and assigned to missions. The subject of technology assisted wars and remote control systems has led to the discussion of whether a physical military presence in the field will still be required as technology evolves  . If soldiers are no longer deployed in the field and if most of the work is performed from home in a safe working environment, what will become of military values? How is military professionalism going to evolve in the context of increasing technological assistance? In the armed forces, terms such as discipline, obedience, commitment, unity, and comradery have long been considered the essence of military professionalism. With technological progress and new actors setting foot in the military sector, new ethical and moral questions arise. Countries like the U.S., Canada, and the UK regularly resort to private military service providers, but France remains reluctant to use the services of contractors. When discussing the matter in an economics of defense class in the French Air Force Academy, a majority of cadets felt that private military contractors might be less committed and more motivated by high wages. They questioned the military values of private agents they perceived as mercenaries."  Get ready for a stringer of bangers: "In the past, many scientific and technological innovations originated in research and development (R&D) within the military or the defense industry. But the main players in AI R&D are private Silicon Valley firms, a reality that has two major ramifications for armed forces and security agencies in Western countries. First, the most advanced AI is often the intellectual property (IP) of multinational technology giants, such as Google and Amazon. As a result, these systems cannot be bought like industrial age technology—like jet fighters or submarines—but must be licensed at a high cost and under strict conditions. Militaries are unlikely to get access to the source codes, for example, because the IPs are commercial secrets. Thus, militaries will have to rely on AI systems without knowing how they fully operate or their limitations and vulnerabilities. Second, there is a significant difference—and some evidence of animosity—between the cultures of Silicon Valley and the armed forces that has already limited the willingness of the former to work with the latter, especially in providing access to leading AI products." We created the stupidest goddamn system lol

Harik posted:the first hilariously stupid reason? we needed a bunch of people to crunch numbers in WW2 to hand-math the elevation & powder load for artillery and write it down in gigantic books so they could look it up in the field. so a lot of the dumbshit you learn in math revolves around being able to do ballistic calculations. It was obsolete before that directive even got started due to mechanical computers handling all that. This post is catnip for FF

What if the primary measure of the economy became the ratio of wages to groceries+rent. What if the government tried to make that number go up. I don't give a gently caress about inflation.
