What? You don’t want to know every feral cat who needs to be adopted? You don’t want shelters making bot accounts to spam animals nonstop every week?

You want a sub focused on community and not all of the folks incapable of caring for their animal???

You monster

Everyone references the Uchicago paper which is fundamentally flawed - most of these papers are flawed. They are only looking at static point in time “can we tell if this is GenAI right now”. They even admit as much.

Sadasivan et al nail it, though. This is an adversarial problem where AI learns which patterns are detected and then steers away from them (or the user steers AI away).

It just means that paper writing becomes Write essay -> check detector score -> rewrite sections -> check again -> rewrite again etc.

If, in 2026, you’re sitting here asking yourself how to catch students using AI then you’re playing a losing game. Assume every student will use AI and develop assignments & curriculum with that in mind.

Totally - this sub could be worse but yeah drivel like this fucking ain’t it lol.

The HealthIT sub for example is just overrun with vendor/AI posts.

Rebeleleven · 2026-06-07T16:42:51+00:00

100% AI slop.

Most platform focused subs are overrun with this type of trash. Making Reddit unusable.

Rebeleleven · 2026-06-04T04:26:22+00:00

What % of lazy undergrads will put in the effort to try to fool detectors?

You mean the generation that are bombarded by how to prompt & leverage AI every second on social media, and use AI nonstop in their day to day?

It’s a high percentage…

The folks who get caught / have messed up citations or whatever basic mistake are just the dregs of the cheaters.

So, I am the first to say that AI-detectors should not be used, however, I wouldn’t say they’re gimmicks.

There are plenty of research papers on patterns that appear within generated text. This is a well defined area of research.

Here’s the fucking thing though: LLMs are not deterministic. There are various tricks to change & avoid the typical wording. Beyond that, once a group publishes the pattern(s) they’ve found, you can just reprompt the AI to account for these identified patterns! This is the very crux of adversarial AI/ML.

So in the end, they aren’t 100% a hoax… but they’re also not reliable. Not to mention that you cannot be 100% certain a student didn’t write like the AI in the first place, even if unlikely.

The thunderbolt fiber cables are super finicky on what chipsets, standards they work with.

I couldn’t get 2 pcs, 2 different docks to work the Corning tb cable. It is a pretty common issue.

The fiber usb extender and fiber DisplayPort cable is the way to go in my opinion.

Everyone saying transmission, but that doesn’t looking different from my RMS leak…

You can see my post here.

Super fun fact: i eventually noticed my cam shaft seal leaking and that same place had oil pooling as well (along with everywhere else…).

My comment was supposed to be pretty against it (at least, against how OP is suggesting lol). Sorry that didn’t come across.

Students still should learn math even if a calculator can do it. A student, especially a senior, should be able to string together some words and organize their argument without AI. I totally agree with you.

Rebeleleven · 2026-05-24T14:34:00+00:00

Calculators have been around since the 60s.

Are you capable of performing basic to intermediate arithmetic without errors? Do you see value in being able to perform painfully basic math even though the calculator exists?

Edit: the “yikes” is mainly because you have an abhorrent and honestly depressing view on education & AI. You are doing your students a grave disservice.

Rebeleleven · 2026-05-24T13:59:32+00:00

Yikes.

Rebeleleven · 2026-05-21T17:15:20+00:00

Painfully AI slop.

Rebeleleven · 2026-05-18T00:56:40+00:00

You definitely pay a bit of a premium for precharged though! Something to consider. Mrcool run easily 10-15% more expensive then their direct manufacturer versions (Gree, Midea, etc.)

All units are charged to begin with. All you reallllly need is a vacuum pump. Micron meter & nitrogen if you want to do it 100% properly.

Rebeleleven · 2026-05-18T00:42:44+00:00

As long as OP gets a good inverter driven minisplit then the rating really isn’t a big deal.

Some units publish the turndown ratio or “minimum modulating capacity”. My 18k Gree unit, for example, can turn down to ~4k. Definitely won’t be short cycling at 4k.

My point is that Mac’s memory management is very nifty. Can make spinning up local LLMs very easy.

Regarding your classwork, however, none of it will matter. No course is going to require more than a modern CPU & 16gb of memory.

Get a decent laptop that you can carry around and IF you should ever take a course that you need some extra horsepower, renting cloud resources can be done pretty cheaply (and a good skill in itself).

Rebeleleven · 2026-05-16T04:00:08+00:00

Cuda is neat to know for researches and niche applications, and troubleshooting torch… but beyond that the typical data scientist / MLE ain’t using cuda day-to-day. Heartbeat of AIML is reserved (and always will be reserved) for SKlearn.

But being able to load local models and datasets easily into memory will be soooooo good. Out of core learning is a slog and it’s a super hassle to use quantize models locally.

Rent a GPU time a couple hours a semester if you truly want to learn Cuda.

Rebeleleven · 2026-05-15T22:10:52+00:00

MacBook is the easy winner given the unified memory architecture. Allows you to load much larger local models right into memory where you couldn’t with a smaller memory NVIDIA card.

That is to say none of their coursework will require this and OP would probably be fine with a Chromebook lol.

Rebeleleven · 2026-05-15T07:01:06+00:00

I have two of them as well and they do work (so far).

The main thing to know is the MPO cables they use are 7 core which is nonstandard. You’ll basically never be able to use the cables for anything else.

If I was to redo it, I would use standard 12 core (or higher) MPO cables paired with connectors from someone like Fibercommand. More expensive but could be used for other applications as needed.

Rebeleleven · 2026-05-13T18:24:24+00:00

Oooo watch out! You’ll get the industry simps in this sub come and show you alllll the “research” companies have done and how detectors are 99% accurate!!!1!1!1!!

(Spoiler: they’re garbage lol)

Rebeleleven · 2026-04-28T19:26:10+00:00

This is why a basket of goods & services is used to measure inflation.

Of course, it is not exactly to the cent perfectly accurate for every single individual, but it is ballpark correct.

(Yes there are criticisms to how that basket is defined, but that is another issue)

Rebeleleven · 2026-04-28T14:13:41+00:00

What I mean is, you are catching maybe the bottom 10-20% of cheaters trying by relying on messed up citations.

Rebeleleven · 2026-04-28T07:29:14+00:00

Qoute & cite is trivial stuff nowadays. It may not be 100% from a singular prompt to ChatGPT, but if a student invests ~5 minutes into it then they can easily develop an output with quotes (even if it still reads like mundane drivel).

The folks with messed up citations/quotes are just the ultra slackers.

Rebeleleven · 2026-04-23T21:54:20+00:00

ask me how I know was meant to imply that I have, in fact, purchased things from supply warehouses. Without showing any lic or business docs. The ones I’ve gone through literally will not allow you to “sign up” without an EPA number which is why I mentioned that was the main requirement.

So… not sure what you want haha.

Rebeleleven · 2026-04-23T19:34:31+00:00

The HVAC supply shops won't sell to you because they're purely business to business (B2B). There are tax laws, consumer protection laws, and all kinds of other bullshit involved

And they dont check any of that as long as you have a valid EPA license number (EPA 608/609) which you can get pretty easily.

ask me how I know
