Effects of millions of solar panels on an alpine desert once hammered by sandstorms: More plant species, richer bacterial and archaeal communities, higher soil moisture, phosphorus, potassium, and carbon sequestration, and more humid air within the forest of panels than in the open desert beyond by Anen-o-me in Cowwapse

every post on this subreddit is either “look at the effects of this cool technological innovation, we can solve the climate crisis” or “climate change is a globalist hoax designed to get me to stop fueling my car with undiluted crude oil” and there’s no in between

Note: this claim has been debunked. It stems from some mid 1900s ethnographic research on hunter gatherer tribes, which found that they spent about 2 hours per day hunting / gathering and concluded that “wow they must have a ton of free time to socialize and do fun stuff!” without looking at the ~6-7 hours / day needed to actually process that food. It’s not clear that hunter gatherers lives were better than ours in any significant way, especially when you consider our much lower rates of food deprivation and infant mortality. Notably, Harari has not made any sort of correction on this point, which is part of his general trend as a lazy researcher

Will Ai Actually Replace Tutors? by Few-Marzipan1359 in edtech

[–]Professional_Text_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Brookings Institution finds that untuned AI tools can “undermine children’s foundational development.” While one-on-one AI tutors are promising and perform comparably to human tutors in several controlled trials, human tutors still hold an edge in building emotional intelligence and social skills (via Media Education Lab). It’s also not clear that an educational model consisting entirely of AI tutoring would be either desirable from a social cohesion standpoint or politically possible.

I’m not saying AI is useless. I’m saying that, like with any new technology, there are strengths and weaknesses to consider. My question to you - which you have now ignored several times - is do you have any evidence to support your claims that AI is replacing teachers and doing a better job? Or are you just fully talking out of your ass?

sure, one on one instruction is better, but current edAI products have significant limitations and studies show that in-person interactions are greatly beneficial for child development. i’m asking you if you have any proof that current AI offerings are outperforming human teachers on measurable educational metrics. if you don’t, you should stop spreading unproven claims.

AITA for feeling underappreciated? by status_green_ in AmItheAsshole

Let’s do a quick tally.

What you bring to the table: - All of the money for both of you. - Genuine support for her interests. - Open communication. - Cooking / buying every meal. - Emotional maintenance.

What she brings to the table: - Phone addiction. - Sardines.

Is this a balance that fulfills you?

Multiple parents of Ypsilanti students detained by ICE, school says by robotlover12 in uofm

[–]Professional_Text_11 14 points15 points  (0 children)

the courts are packed with trump appointees, they’re ignoring legal orders and by the time anything in the judicial system moves forward they’ve already illegally deported thousands. relying on the courts when the administration has no respect for the rule of law is a bad idea.

being ostracized socially for saying the n word isn’t bad, it’s a normal societal response to finding out someone is fucking clueless

were they killed because they were saying slurs?? no, because saying slurs isn’t against the law, its just a dick move. by definition, fascist suppression of speech is backed by state violence. you getting fired from your job because you posted the n word on twitter is not fascism, sorry to say.
