Places like Australia, Canada and UK and many others use higher international student fees to subsidize local students. In terms of % international students to total, Australia is among the highest at 31.6%, Canada at 21.2% and US at 5.3%. So many of these countries are solving their funding problem on the back of international students.

I imagine if these cameras are adding or remove furniture, appliances or modifying flooring or the landscaping via AI it will be a problem.

Edit: also if it becomes a big problem, in the future the law could be changed so that the real estate agent becomes liable to cover the cost of upgrading the property to match the altered image.

You only need to SAT/ACT for going to get into an university. And these days it seems to matter less. I looked it up and less than 50% of high school students take the SAT/ACT. Personally I never had any employer ask for my SAT/ACT scores since the 90s.

Rubi is just rule based integration. So its like looking up a book of integral formulas and encoding them as rules. It does mean you need a minimum number of other features like partial fraction decomposition, polynomial factoring so it demonstrates some capability. Many of the other Mathematica like CAS end up using the Rubi rules themselves.

But indefinite integration is just a small aspect of CAS capabilities. What about integration over a line or surface, definite integration and dealing with singularities, differential equations, solving equations under assumptions, simplifying equations.

I noticed that when trying to use Codex and compared to Opus. So many layers of simple functions added by Codex. I need to try this out in my Agents.md.

The testing was at the drive level without an OS like ext2. The test was with no flush (with flush test is easy to pass). Without PLP, the pass criteria is that the data that was buffered can be either the older or newer data and not corrupted or previous data. All the other blocks on the SSD should remain unchanged. Its trickier that you think because MLC/TLC NAND could corrupt other blocks due to NAND structure and we had to deal with that. Then you also have to worry about system data in the NAND doesn't get corrupted.

Because the Haiku model is quite cheap but doesn't screw up too often I used it for interactive coding for my existing projects on the older copilot plans.

For simple features I don't have a full plan worked out. I write a bit of code then tell the model in a short line prompt what it should do. Sometimes I put temporary comments in the code to give it guidance. Generally if the code change is within a file or package, Haiku is good enough follow what you ask and not mess up too much. I also have skills created over time to give it guidance. There were some months when I used GitHub copilot where I had excess credits available at the end of the month I frantically try to use up.

Even the AI code completions can be pretty good on their own. Sometimes I write some temporary comments describing what the code should do and just press Tab-Tab-Tab and the entire function is done.

I think there is a tendency for people to go for the advanced models thinking they we screw up less but if you really understand the code its easier to interactively do it with a lesser model.

There has been a general downtrend in Chinese students studying internationally.

Also US international students as percent of overall student population has been in the low end. Its mostly been universities around the world catering to international students because they pay a higher tuition and to makeup for a shortfall in domestic funding. Its much better for universities to educate the local population.

Both ibuprofen and naproxen sodium are NSAIDs and are bad for your kidneys especially in long term. I had kidney failure due to what was eventually diagnosed as an autoimmune disease but they first thing the ER doctor will ask is if you have been taking NSAIDs. My nephrologists told be its still safe to take acetaminophen at the proper dose.
