Depends on the education system, I guess. In Poland Geek mythology and the Bible are studied in primary school. That’s because many other works studied in primary school reference them. Prometheus, Icarus or David are considered basic references everyone should know. If you think it’s OK for people with high school education not to know basic mythology then yes, you can only teach in college.

You know that for example this is a Bible reference:

Are koran and tora references as common in western literature? Greek mythology references are very common and we sure learned about it in language courses. But koran? I can’t think of any important work that you would not be able to understand without learning about koran. It sure would be nice to expand the language courses and add books from other cultures but this would be a major re-work, not simply adding koran and tora. Early education also tends to focus on things kids are at least somehow familiar with so I’m not sure if adding books from Asia or Middle east would be a good idea.

Bible is referenced by countless other books. Of course it should be studied as part of any literature course. As long as it’s treated like any other work and not as holy scripture there’s nothing wrong with reading bible in school.

Just finished watching it. Best show I’ve seen in a long time. Exactly my type. Simple idea but with some depth, perfect balance between being entertaining and down to earth kind of show. Thanks.

Great! We got him!

Now that experts said he’s a war criminal he will be impeached and gone before summer. I’m so glad it’s over.

People that have lived in France for years and speak perfect French told me that when they try to order something in French the waiters just look at at them with contempt and respond in English. It’s not you, it’s them.

I didn’t say it will happen. I said it’s more probable than Republicans betraying him.

I love it when the main stream media starts saying out laud what everyone knew for years. It’s like… the last horse crosses the line. Congrats. The reality is finally so obvious to everyone that even the media can’t pretend it’s not true.

It’s more likely that the military will assassinate him than that Republican politicians will betray him.

Then I would be checking privacy and data sharing agreements, not AI agreements.

Another mini stroke? We’ll see him from a distance for couple of days and then we will appear publicly with a slightly more drooping face.

It’s just a tool, it doesn’t really matter. A good doctor will not blindly trust AI only because his employer allowed him to use it. If you notice the services get worse after that then change the provider. Most likely you will not be able to find any puritan healthcare provider that bans the use of all AI. There is a way to use those tools responsibly and you just have to look for doctors that know how to do it. Looking only for doctors that don’t use any AI will just limit your choices and make the possibility of getting shitty care greater.

The other day I put debian on my old dell and move my servarr apps there. Now I have a spare Linux set up box I don’t know what to do with. Old laptops are nice but you only need so many.

Yes, and using many closed source apps really feels like crawling through that pipe.

I’m sure technically we could build a plane like that but I don’t think we’re at a developmental level that would allow us to make them cheap and secure enough and to handle the logistics involved. Boeing is struggling to make normal planes safe and the entire flight control system in US is close to a breaking point. Imagine adding more possible failure points to the planes and more complex logistics at the airports…

I’ve seen the exact same design years ago sold as a way to quickly prepare the plane for takeoff. Passengers would board the detached so the whole plane doesn’t have to sit there waiting. I imagine you would have more passenger modules than engine modules. The more expensive engine modules would fly non-stop: land, drop the passenger module, pick up another module and take off before even the first plane deboarded. No idea if this could actually work. It’s just strange to see the exact same design done for a dumber reason.

People think they can demand things for open source devs. No wonder they demands things from companies that sold them something. The sense of entitlement has no bounds.

Trump’s dementia taking over? It must be bizarre taking orders from a guy who barely understand what is going on around him. Now that he starts lashing out at his own people, will they finally decide to remove him?

So US needs Patriots for the war in Iran and started redirecting production there. The order placed and paid for by Switzerland was delayed indefinitely.

Switzerland stopped paying for the order until they can get new delivery date from USA.

USA simply took the money Switzerland paid for F-35 and redirected them to pay for production of Patriots.

So if I get this right, Switzerland will not get Patriots nor F-35s and US will just use its money to pay for war in Iran.

Now Switzerland says that they may just cancel the order which will probably mean they will lose the money they already paid and get nothing.

In systems based on the common law, like the one in US, judges can pretty much decide anything. It’s typical in US now for the Supreme Court to just say “we now interpret the constitution in a different way” and invent some completely new laws (like they did twice with abortion). So the constitution says that people born in US are citizens and the Supreme Court will say “we now decide it doesn’t really mean that, people born in US are not automatically citizens” and then the government will change the laws accordingly. So I imagine they will say that only being born to citizens parents grants you citizenship and everyone born to parents without citizenship will lose their citizenship. The government will then decide what to do with all those people. They can for example declare that anyone born in US before 1900 still is considered citizen and it applies to all their descendants. Anyone born after 1900 who came from European countries automatically gets citizenship but people that immigrated from south America or Africa don’t.
