We did not have homework per se in what we studied but we did have reading that was relevant for the purposes of tutorials and being prepared for lectures. We also had deliverables (assignments, presentations, practicals) that had grading, and proctored exams.

I found having deliverables helpful in knowing how one is tracking with progress and understanding of the subjects and largely reflective of the final exam result.

I've also had studies done that exams were either 80 or 100% of the grading and that was a lot more stressful without any significant added benefit. In fact given that there were fewer or no deliverables, perhaps even worse mastery / retention after exam completion.

Australia generally requires at least 10 years for some things.

As someone without CS background working in a modest app, I think a lot of it will come down to architecture, supervision and direction rather than grunt code writing.

You need to know about database normalization, about algorithms and techniques, ideate solution to problems etc because as impressive as those 1-shot youtube videos on model release look, once you go beyond that, that's where the value ad comes in my experience.

Maybe they are going to go for Argon/Neon/Helium to represent model sizes like Astra/Sol/Terra/Luna and Opus/Sonnet/Haiku

Same. Specially given how some harnesses connect with blender for 3D asset generation and creating real 3D worlds like those architecture examples but many of the 1-shot game examples too.

Do you mind sharing? I would love to give it a try and see if I can stretch the x5 plan further.

There probably also won't be enough people to pay $30 per year to justify the salary of the people to maintain it. Microsoft tried that with Windows 10 and largely gave up outside of Corporations which they had by the gonads.

That just seemed to be standard venting, methane if I'm not mistaken.

The group exploited a bug in WhatsApp to deliver the spyware. It wasn't an E2E issue.

> A U.S. judge ruled on Friday in favor of Meta Platforms' (META.O), opens new tab WhatsApp in a lawsuit accusing Israel's NSO Group of exploiting a bug in the messaging app to install spy software allowing unauthorized surveillance.

There is certainly an economic utility to a more educated populous, but should that cost 30k+ in debt? If the ROI isn't there and the purpose is a general one for the economic benefit of the nation, shouldn't the taxpayer bear the cost of that?

My understanding was that ads pay to be viewed, they can't get paid if you have it on background play and not watching. So they made it a premium feature and get paid by the subscription.

The Courts already have mechanisms to limit "unlimited" subpoenas or requests for discovery. Requests for the software source code or similar, bug reports, and other reports of issues are or would largely not be unreasonable where the key issue is reported thievery, fraud, and mismatched data based on software as the basis for the allegations and prosecution.
