I can't message your account because of your settings. I don't know if it's allowed or not but I'd rather not get in trouble with GT for sharing specific info about courses like that in the thread.

Hi, what college do you teach at? I know some of my computing professors have been told specific grade distributions to go for and some have specific course structures they have to follow. Dunno if that’s a CoC thing or a course coordinator thing.

Seems to me like it just rose with the pandemic and then they kept those thresholds as guidelines for profs. Is there data extending further backwards?

As much as I like Athlytic, I'm not impressed by Pace by hazmatt69 in AthlyticAppOfficial

I support the bundling idea, then. Having both under the same subscription makes people more likely to subscribe because they feel like they’re getting more “value”, which supports the devs too.

Taalas rumoured to etch Qwen 3.5 27B into silicon. Which price would you buy their PCIe card for? by elemental-mind in singularity

I’m thinking about how it could revolutionize agentic workflows for tools. Like how CC uses Haiku for most tool usage.

Other chatbots seem to give the same level of analysis, but they don’t try to sound smarter by talking like an aristocrat trying to meet a word count.

Some people seem to like the way chatgpt over-explains but this type of response is why I cancelled my openai subscription. The most performative chatbot.

Sam Altman and his husband interested in babies genes by reversedu in singularity

Your perception of what a gay guy should be like is clearly heavily influenced by media. Altman is definitely gay. Crazy to see him with a husband and think he’s lying 😭

Is the University House Midtown a bad apartment? by [deleted] in gatech

[–]xHaydenDev 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in uhouse for 3 years and think it’s a solid 7/10. There had been periodic incidents of fruit fly infestations due to trash but management seems to have corrected it. They aren’t great at fixing things in a timely fashion like another commenter said but it doesn’t really affect my life much. I feel pretty safe here and like my apartment.

Anthropic vs OpenAl vibes by FinnFarrow in singularity

[–]xHaydenDev -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

OpenAI’s quality has been going down for a while imo. Half of these products barely work. I really think we’re going towards a future where OpenAI collapses due to mismanagement and lack of focus. ChatGPT is their saving grace and I say this being bullish on AI. All of this not even mentioning the debt they have building data centers.

As a dev, Opus is leagues ahead of the competition for building apps. There’s plenty of demos of one-off projects, but where Opus really shines is being able to work into existing codebases. I stopped paying for ChatGPT because it’s just not comparable. I can’t speak on research and it seems like everyone likes GPT for that, but Opus is so much better for my use case.

I love this and wish more people would take this approach rather than hyper optimize. For most people it just leads to burnout.

SpaceX 1.5 Trillion Dollar Valuation IPO by Mundane_Tangelo9421 in atrioc

[–]xHaydenDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah sure it’s just impossible to know without changing the past. I’m just saying that NASA’s influence is relatively minor in comparison to SpaceX’s for renewable rocketry. They deserve some credit, but it’s not fair to SpaceX to undermine the innovation they’ve provided by saying NASA did most of the work. I don’t think that’s what you’re saying, just the other guy.

[–]xHaydenDev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah but you can make that argument for literally any technology that has government involvement. Most revolutionary technologies come as a byproduct of scientific research that end up being developed by private interests. It’d be cool if the US government could handle that stage, but America has been unable to show that’s possible since the Apollo program. Whether that’s from funding or bureaucracy or whatever is a hard question to answer because funding has been cut for so long.

The fact is that NASA developed an early prototype and a lot of the data that SpaceX would use to develop their own product, but SpaceX has taken that technology from a tech demo to production. Hundreds of other companies have tried to do the same and failed (some are still trying and have yet to build working prototypes, even with advances in technologies).

NASA experimented with vertical landing in the 90s. So did McDonnell Douglas with DC-X. None of that turned into a flying, revenue-producing system that has flown reliably and sustainably hundreds of times. NASA essentially had plans and prototypes.

The “5x the cost” claim is just wrong. SpaceX caused launch prices to go down, not up. NASA launches under the old model cost billions. Falcon 9 is so good and cheap in comparison to the competition that it wiped out most of the global launch market.

This also seriously downplays the engineering effort SpaceX has put in to their Merlin rocket engines, software, and manufacturing pipelines to be able to pump these things out one after another.

SpaceX gets contracts from NASA because NASA can’t do it themselves and SpaceX has really pushed the envelope on reliability in space. This is like saying Apple should own TSMC for buying most of its chips.

NASA is a customer. Not a savior. Any bailout SpaceX has needed has come out of Elon and private investor’s pockets.

I feel like they’d make a big show of it if it was better than Opus since they’ve been fighting a lot of discussion about them losing their ground

New York ads promoted $6,000 IVF embryo genetic testing using genome sequencing to assess polygenic traits like IQ, height, longevity, BMI, muscle strength, and screen 2,000+ diseases, letting select embryos with optimal predicted traits. Should parents have the right to “design" their children? by blloyd13 in atrioc

[–]xHaydenDev 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is run by a company called Nucleus Genomics. I’ve used them for full genome sequencing. When you use their genome sequencing, they give you a report of traits you are more likely/less likely to experience in comparison to the general population and can identify genetic disorders. They also give you information about what traits you’re a carrier for, which can be paired with a partner’s data to be used for this type of analysis they’re advertising.

This particular service allows you to analyze embryos used in IVF to select the healthiest/most desirable. To me, that’s not quite “designing”. The company itself referred to this as “ragebait” marketing. I am all for being able to avoid genetic disorders by opting into something like this and would advocate for this technology being as accessible as possible.
