I e got an i3 one of these on order and should turn up next month. I need to buy RAM and an SSD, but I think it'll end up around £750 all in. Will replace my 11yo MacBook Air 11 inch. Mac OS just went in the wrong direction under Cook.

New board size was dictated by the smaller form factor I believe. Still will be very interesting to see what options come out in time.

Cells pretty much are one of 3 or 4 standard sizes. Getting down to the cell level is pretty tough on a lot of cars though.

There'd be smaller tutorial sessions. I'd have a once a week 5 on 1 session with my tutor for an hour. Lab sessions might be 30-40 people. Specialist courses would be 100 people.

...but yes, lectures were 300+ people for the core subjects. Generally you and your peers would work together on making sense of it all. You'd find that some people understood some subjects better than others and you'd help each other out.

She didn't sound happy even before the explosion.

University was always guided self-learning, at least in the UK. The lecturers are not teachers. The provide and explain material, but they're not there to hand-hold you through it.

University education is very different to what goes on at younger ages. It has to be when a class is 300 rather than 30 people.

Well...your post did laud Israel humiliating Iran. It's easy to take that as pro-israel.

There are very few conflicts where you can paint the governments involved as black and white "good guys/bad guys". In the Iran / Israel arena I'd like to see both governments fall.

Iran I'd like to see return to being a much more secular state, and Israel... Well they've got some very deep rot to expunge. 70+ years of "Lebensraum" type entitled-expansion. I don't know how you get that out of the culture.

Israel is the US

NATO can't pull out of the baltics. NATO isn't in the baltics. The baltics are NATO.

"Moscow should pull out of Russia" is a equally nonsensical statement.

Agreed, which is why it's important to have articles out in the wild that show the shortcomings of AI. If all people read is all the positive crap coming out of companies like OpenAI then they will make stupid decisions.
