I find the opposite to be the case in all honesty.
I've never used C# or dotnet core but I know from word of mouth that it is a relatively well put together framework of tools for doing a lot of the things organizations with a lot of backend services to write might need. Many of those orgs are already very locked in with Microsoft, so the greater support by the open source community that comes with typescript is mostly irrelevant. Whatever the officially supported version of something is is what you will be required to use, and the typescript ecosystem provides very little if you want some big company to declare one particular thing to be the blessed solution.
The difficulty here is at any not tiny company nobody except a select few people at the very top can actually be led by the CEO in the way you are describing, and if they tried to lead the masses so to speak, it usually turns into a cult of personality, which actually doesn't look great to investors. So it's very difficult to lead large organizations in a way that doesn't necessarily result in scheming behind closed doors with a small club of in people, which doesn't look great either.
It seems to be almost a requirement for the CEO to be disliked for those reasons.
Obviously AI wouldn't be better and would be a black box to most employees, just like CEOs are already.
For the same reason not grinding out the code by hand and copying from your LLM is going to result in you being a less competent programmer in the long run.
I really believe there is something to be said for putting yourself through the mental strain of evaluating the integrals (or code) and that doing so contributes to you having a better feel for how it works on a conceptual level as well, you don't just get better at calculating by doing things the hard way.
If you can easily see the solutions and manipulations you can make to an integral by hand, then you are more able to quickly get a feel for what it represents just by looking at it. If you are not as experienced doing them by hand, just reading them is going to sap some of your brain power and energy, and you will be less able to reason about them abstractly as a result.
I think the whole "just learn the concepts" approach to almost anything is fundamentally misguided and not at all how representative of how humans really learn.
I guess I just fundamentally disagree with you on this one. To me, spending time manually calculating integrals in a timed exam is less similar to copying code from an LLM and more similar to manually translating the source code you write into machine code instead of using a compiler; it might have value, but the amount of work it would take a student in an intro class to do that would drown out their ability to retain anything else.
That's why they were banned back when I took the tests. Have they loosened the restrictions on the n-spire?
The standard back in the early 2010s was still definitely TI-84 being about the most powerful calculator you could use for most tests that mattered. Those calculators are intentionally kept slow by TI because of these requirements.
My impression of the n-spire was that it had always been marketed much more towards professionals. The first one I saw in person was at an electrical engineering internship where my boss had just bought one.
No, they're still banned, but I got one early on when they were first released before they were consistently banned, and I realized shortly after that you could load some apps on there that basically allowed you to plug questions in and get the answer, since many problems are formulaic.
Amazon does use mainframes. They aren't a payment processor and don't handle that part of the processing. That's why the likes of VISA get to charge their fee.
They also aren't exactly legacy if the performance continues to improve in such a manner that they remain impossibly far ahead of any relevant competition.
That's really the part of this whole (tiring and old) conversion that irks me the most. The total lack of willingness to come up with a better definition of legacy than "not in line with the trends that work for companies mostly interested in serving media content to consumers".
Legacy is a system that is still around that cannot be defended on its technical merits. Mainframes can and are constantly defended solely on their technical merits, and the "competition" doesn't appear to even want to try to compete there. It's always about moving the things that can be moved off platform, which is fine in the eyes of IBM, they'll even help you do it. That's why they offer much lower cost on zIIPs, zAAPs, IFLs, etc in comparison to general purpose processors running native workloads.
Yep that's pretty much it. I have a massive amount of respect for the IBM systems buisness and the people that are a part of it. They are the last surviving computer company, and everyone I've ever met involved in that part of the business genuinely seems to love their jobs and have a real passion for what they do.
The rest of the company could all disappear and I don't think anybody would mind all that much. I've never heard of anybody passionate about working with or on anything besides the core systems. It all looks like consultancy and sales bullshit from the outside.
