I agree. Not many cats even use collars. I thought they were the relic of some optimistic veterinary practices lol

This confused me as well.
What they are saying is that all cats get the ear clip to show they’ve been vaccinated, if the cat is not going to a forever home and is just being released back into the streets/wild.
Shelters have more intimate knowledge of whether or not the cat is going to be released, so they don’t bother with the tags. Vet clinics don’t usually handle releasing or holding cats and give a rabies tag to cats that they vaccinate because they deal more with owners and pets who could have a reason to put such a tag on a collar.

Technology@lemmy.world•Universities drop AI detection tools over fears about accuracy: Some institutions are overhauling assessment and trying to move away from the emphasis on surveillanceEnglish
121·2 months agoI thought that they were trying to get at the hypocrisy of using ai tools to detect ai writing, which has a dismal success rate and ends up with a crazy amount of false positives.
I see that the growth of computer/digital testing directly led to student abuse of ai. Once students were no longer called on to write a blue book or even just generate responses to short answer questions, we failed our students. I understand that term papers and larger writing assignments have their place, but there really is nothing like being able to sit down and show your knowledge in an on the spot essay (at least for a lot of humanities courses where I see ai being abused).
A systemic issue in this space comes from universities and licensing entities giving testing companies carte blanche to race to the bottom in terms of effective testing tools. For licensing, apprenticeship/mentorship and observation are always better indicators of on the job performance, but that doesn’t have the ease and profit margins of big bullshit testing, so companies would never go for it unless states mandated such pathways. With regard to a lot of current digital university testing, a lot of that was Frankensteined from existing licensing exam tools/strategies and similarly does not effectively assess student/candidate aptitude.
Even if this was not the intent of the commentor, my argument is that carelessness and disingenuous/gatekeeping testing practices from universities and licensing institutions certainly bred a significant level of disengagement in students which leads to them phoning it in with ai slop. If we wanted rigorous work from our students, we should have kept the same standards for ourselves, collectively.

Linux@programming.dev•Debian Testing as a daily driver - can anyone share their experience?
3·3 months agoI used proton vpn on Debian for a while just fine. Not exactly the same, but you can still set up the GUI app.Edit: Don’t mind me lol I remember having issues with testing. Just read/processed everything.
It’s getting to the point where I literally cannot afford to laugh, though.

Man, I’m just trying to see what’s up?
The main revolution I want to see is the rejection of ideas/cultures that isolate and divide us. I think if people are able to push past apathy and fear, we can make our communities and lives a lot more caring and growthful.
Lots of other things need to change, but personal responsibility and stewardship of your own community can produce tangible results, show others that we don’t have to live in constant fear and anger, and eventually lead to more positive change.
The best way to celebrate is to work toward a better revolution. Hopefully, some of these people are starting to realize that.

News@lemmy.world•Citing ‘severe’ math deficits, UC faculty demand a return to SAT tests for STEM applicants
61·5 months agoI agree with you and the other commentor here, just want to add that a lot of reporting stays away from hard numbers because it’s hard for both the reporter and most readers to grasp.
Our critical thinking and mathematical issues in education definitely go back beyond the lead paint days, and a lot of journalists will try to smooth out the numbers.
As you say, it’s also sometimes done for sensationalism, but this one reads more like the journalist either never got the hard numbers or didn’t think the audience would follow along with them.
Honestly, they did not integrate very far. Obligatory fuck Mormonism.
