I don't have more than 15 at once. Only when selecting hn posts to read at once. If they linger much (or anything at all) I will put the "important" ones at my raindrop with the false intent to read some day

I was a teacher assistant circa 2023. I required every student to submit the assignments typed digitally, since grading a single handwritten one would take as much time as 5 typed. I saw a single fully AI generated assignment and it was laughable and an easy zero. I wonder how I would do it now.

What's your experience like?

Lot's of people say that's a mess to maintain and too broken to actively use.

I often doubt if that's due to actual problems, or mix with that and bad decisions on the setup. Is dockering, keeping the data handling itself outside of it and a few other easy (or not so much) precautions enough to have a somewhat smoother sailing?

Also, how much time do you need to keep things from failing apart?

In our system, the university libraries filled 90% of our textbook needs. Some books were highly sought after, especially physics and calculus, which were common for all STEM majors.

In those cases, we would run to the library first thing to get the books. If you missed out, someone would give you the PDF.

Professors would email the reading list before the first class with their recommendations, and even tell the students which libraries had each book. Other professors would have their notes and handbooks available on the website, and have some of the copy shops sell them for the cost of printing.

So many factors are envolved in this that it is hard to begin the answer. I would spend some time discovering the main points and answer them.

One that is very important: Do you have another opportunity to accept? There is nothing better to get a job than being employed.

If you do have a offer, consider if you take; but if you don't, try to get one while you are employed and jump ship when it's a better one; repeat.

There is no supply chain of baseballs and baseball bats in Brazil. That would be considered a "exotic" choice of sport, with those supplies only available at expensive stores with imported goods

I really like the technology and almost jumped in, but quickly realized the lack of the _network_ effect in a community.

I live in a dense urban area, and yet I see very few nodes nearby, where I image I will be left in starvation. Without a proper mesh, I couldn't send a message to a fried 2 miles away with no los.

I had a college at post grad that did something similar for music. Trained with some genre-specific songs in my country and had it generated a few thousand songs on that genre.

Then they had a LLM do a hierarchical monte carlo voting on the best songs, and made a album with AI generated melody and voice based on the generated lyrics.

Not great, but honestly could pass as real songs.

Before opening this post I thought of some possibilities, but yet another lotr AI company was not one of them

Pretty much what xwitter / bsky is on the following page. The algorithm layer atop twitter was pretty good connecting me with people/content before daddy elon came along. And this algorithm layer is actually needed (in my view) to make the social network thing work, otherwise there is no critical mass

Thankfully bsky is not that good, so I don't get hooked by it at all. But i miss it
