How can AI not even accurately identify Trek races?

Turns out the children weren't our future after all.

To be fair, a whole couple generations of them were taught by the schools to be unable to read.

He brought up the example of a child who comes to the word "horse" and says "pony" instead. His argument is that a child will still understand the meaning of the story because horse and pony are the same concept.
I pressed him on this. First of all, a pony isn't the same thing as a horse. Second, don't you want to make sure that when a child is learning to read, he understands that /p/ /o/ /n/ /y/ says "pony"? And different letters say "horse"?
He dismissed my question.
"The purpose is not to learn words," he said. "The purpose is to make sense."

This is dire, god damn.

I have actually met people like this and been like...how could you possibly have gotten those words that wrong? you didn't even read them, you just assumed what it said?

I didn't even know about this stuff until recently when I saw some clip of a kid getting scolded for trying to sound out the letters while reading.

I'd be curious to see a breakdown of how widely and when this techinique has been used. 

I'm familiar with "whole word" (which is bad enough) and phonics (aka DavidCroquet's Certified Actually-Teach-Kids-to-Read Gold Star Technique of the Forever), but haven't actually encountered three-cue'ing in the wild. It just seems so obviously terrible that even whole-word proponents would resist it.

But then again you never can trust a whole-worder...

Whatever happened to just teaching kids the sound the letters make and getting them to read them?

As the article and others articulate, one of the issues is that teachers prefer teaching the inferior methods because it's much easier for them. They're the dominant client of the education system.

What does "global South" even mean? How is China part of the South, yet Korea and fucking Australia are North? Israel is North, Turkey is South? Somebody gift those retards a globe.

It's because "Third World" has too many negative connotations. It literally means the same thing and countries are ordered by the same standards that used to put them in the "Third World" category.

Also "Third World" doesn't make sense when there isn't a "Second World" (aka socialist bloc) anymore.

I get that it's meant to be a politically correct euphemism, I was mocking the asinine term, and the fact that many historically "Third World" countries arguably aren't "Third World" anymore (at least economically), which makes such statistics entirely stupid and ultimately meaningless.

Ummm, I think you'll find it describes economies where they are socially conservative and allow slavery, just like the southern states in the United States around the civil war period...chud.

When replacing a term that doesn't make sense, it's always best to change it to something that also doesn't make sense.

On Monday night, Deen got into a heated altercation with professional bodybuilder Larry Wheels outisde of a restaurant after streaming together for hours.

The next day Deen got into another altercation, this time with former UFC fighter Tiki Ghosn during Rampage Jackson’s house party stream.
