Good and very long piece on LLM adoption in public US universities and in the US education system in general to some extent. Elaborates on commodified knowledge processing devoid of learning and cognitive atrophy resulting from LLM use.

If anyone has similar articles especially from other countries (European, China, …) I'll take them.

Any journalists want to write an article about all the environmental costs of the more than 10,000 Starlinks that are now in orbit? All I'm seeing are breathless articles mindlessly worshiping That Awful Billionaire for crossing the 10,000 satellite mark.

Every single one of those will come down in an uncontrolled reentry. That's a lot of metal in the atmosphere, and a lot of dice-rolling to see if any more pieces will make it to the ground.

SpaceX is truly awful.

It feels like the open source world is fracturing. It used to be if we wanted alternatives to commercial software we could look to open source, but so much of open source software today is using AI.

Sure, some maintainers are saying "I only use it to speed things up, I still review all code before it gets added." but for lots of folks that's not good enough, and they draw a hard line at the use of any AI.

Are we looking at "open source" versus "open source + AI" now?

The Amstrad CPC6128 edition of New York Warriors was released with both disk sides containing the first side, losing a whole side of levels! Lost for 36 years, author Fred Williams has kindly allowed Games That Weren't to release the lost full version:

It is thanks to Kevin Edwards that the game was preserved, after Fred sent his 3" disks to Kevin.
