Not really sad, the sad part is it took AI for this “teacher” to realize the education system is fundamentally flawed. Especially the way he “evaluates” students.
my main method of evaluation has been the student essay
A student doesn’t want to write multiple 10,000 word essay where you are graded on formatting on a subject or matter you probably had no choice in choosing? I am shocked, absolutely shocked.
It would probably be for the better these people that think making students write a bunch of essays is “teaching” or (lol) “preparing them for life”.
Even though that turned out to be false, knowing how to do math is incredibly important. Calculators mean nothing if you don’t know what math you even need to do.
Right, so teaching them how to do math by hand was a pointless waste of time and that time could have been used teaching them how to use a calculator, along with what to use when.
Education as it is right now kills creativity, it kills the desires of humans to learn and do more and turns them into something that are only taught to memorize, no better than a machine churning out essays for an “evaluated” number. That’s not what teaching is, and that sure as shit ain’t what preparing someone for life is. The only time I’ve written code in pencil and paper without every assistance known to man, including a computer with a compiler, was in school. The sad thing is the self reflection he’s done is that students that don’t want to waste their time writing pointless essays are the problem, and not the ones “teaching” by demanding they do one of the most boring brain dead tasks.
Servers are just computers, you build what you are going to use it for. You can use a cheap N100 mini pc to host jellyfin as the important part there is the video encoder/decoder to transcode video. Though it can only do 2 streams at 4k with tone mapping. So it might not be good enough if you have more than 2 people using it or are running more stuff on it.
