I imagine the civilian equivalent in size and structure would be a PDP-8/S (bit-serial, still discrete logic?) But DEC material from that time simply calls it a "small-scale computer".
In an alternate universe where HTML was the native input-output format of LLMs, we'd be talking about the unreasonable effectiveness of Markdown in sparing tokens for reasoning.
I wonder as well whether large-but-finite contexts can handle algebraic questions that require traversing up and down levels of abstraction, at least not without "thrashing".
I imagine that there might still be a way to swing by with RF equipment and tip the scales in your favor. And if you're important enough, I'm sure there'll be someone motivatd enough to do this. After all, Polymarket was motivating enough for someone to take a hair dryer to a weather station...
I'll be shocked if Canvas ever gets held publicly accountable for this.
I believe FERPA's PII provisions apply to Canvas and contractors handing PII in general (at least as interpreted by the Department of Education). Now, will Canvas be held accountable by ED in this administration? Hah – DOGE probably ran that through the shredder as well.
