If I would start college today I would use all the models and chat assistants that are easily available. I would use Google and YouTube to learn concepts deeper. I would ask for subjects from previous years and talk with people from same and higher years.

When I was in college students were paying for homeworks solved by other students, teachers and so on.

In the article "Evaluating" is marked at 5.5% where creating is 39.8%. Students are still evaluating the answers.

My point is that just got easier to go in any direction. The distribution range is wider, is the mean changing?

Sir, this is Ikea.

You could explore using a platform that gives you more tools and support out of the box, that allows experimenting with a custom setup, but doesn't need a big (both costs to set up a team and time to manage and get something good enough done) investment upfront.

What I have in mind is Palantir Foundry, Snowflake or similar. SAP would be overkill.

When I feel sad or bored I know for sure that some hyper energetic and happy dance trainer will improve my mood. Some moves are too fast, but trying to catch up and move in sync is worth the effort when you get it.

They can adjust the voice to background music volume ratio to make it even better, but it's acceptable. The experience is completely different on a >55" TV vs anything else, imagine that the trainer seems real life size. Streaming on Airplay compatible tv is supported with 14.5 and beta.

I really like it. I'm super excited for a new Apple TV because I want to play audio through the homepods but it's ok.

Some improvements I would like to see across the system:

- ability to rewind

- history of workouts within the Fitness+ app, not normal app

- group workouts, now both of us has to start the same workout at the same time, the phone is just muted in on the table while dance in front of the TV

- some focus on making sure moves are done correctly, I would love some intro videos where it takes 30 minutes to show, repeat and help me (overall) understand some basic moves, some very basic intro series

- overall more basic workouts or at a slower pace

- live classes

- muscle categories listed in a user friendly way, I would like to combine 2 strengths workouts that focus on different categories

I understand the issue described in the article, but I don't understand why people from this thread are so obfuscated about smartphones, teens not using physical keyboards or babies using smartphones better than they keep their own balance on 2 feet.

We were drawing with blood in caves, we were scratching stones with other stones, we were sculpting symbols on walls in Egypt, we started writing on papyrus, then paper, then started using typewriters, then physical keyboards and now virtual keyboards. Don't act like the generation that critiques the next generation because they see the world different.

Kids from today probably will be the ones communicating through brainwaves with the IoT or similar; a more efficient and higher throughput interface. Yes, it's important to learn how to use pencil and paper and how to type faster on a keyboard but move on.

I actually find it cumbersome to write on a keyboard on the phone, but also I feel that everything else is slow, interfaces are cumbersome, unintuitive and mostly just stupid.

If I search for a path on google maps, from point A to point B in a different country than I am now, and I forget to switch to car instead of public transport, then I don't get any result. And I am like how the fuck there is no path since there is an obvious big street over there, in the middle of the screen. Oh there is a small icon somewhere to switch the type of transport from public transport to car. What if they would check there are no results and suggest to change the transport type? Thanks for rounding the corners of the search bar, it makes a great difference.

Let me rant about search and reaching for an app on any OS. I have 120 apps on my iPhone 8, I use 5-6 everyday let's say. But once in a while I want to open an app that I don't know where it is because I don't use it often. I know how is called because is a well-known app and has the same name with their service or business or whole company. I use the search functionality on iOS, swipe down type 3 letters, wait, wait, fucking wait 2 seconds to get the results. It should be lightning fast, there are 120 strings to search through why the hell it takes so long. Oh, I typed last letter wrong, delete it, results are refreshing, write the correct one, wait again for results.

If I notice the lack of motion or changes then is too slow.

You will say that I can organize things in folders, after 3 months, oh is that app that connects to the camera in photos folder, utils, connectivity or "not often". Who cares? I know how the app is called, I can search for it, why is it slow?

Huge props for the fact that the text box gets focused when swiping down and I don't have to ("click?") touch on it to focus.

There are just 2 examples, but I use apps on my phone everyday, I search for public transport on my phone every weekend, multiple times a day. Why focus on making the 3 dots for settings as 3 dots instead of 3 lines from the burger icon? It's still unintuitive and the rest of the app is unintuitive. I could rant for weeks about other features or functionalities, on any platform you want.

God bless autocomplete!

Stop whining about small things, see the bigger context, meet people where they are going, understand their intentions, maker super usual tasks extremely easy and stop being stubborn. You will move on or other will move past you, sooner or later, worst case you will pass with your idea.

Context: I am working as a programmer full-time, participated for a long time in high school and university in algorithmic contests. I had multiple computers and used different OS-es. I am confortable with the CLI and I have a decent understanding how things work on the internet, what happens on multiple layers from when you type in your browser URL bar to when you see the website.
