The whole point of pronouns is to reduce cognitive overhead. If pronouns become something you have to remember for each person then you might as well drop them from the language and use names all the time.
The design choices make a bit of a difference but most of the overhead is Defender. When you try to read thousands of files your computer spends most of its time running Defender. Turn it off and the problem goes away.
ddrescue works with blocks and bytes. Audio cds are different. They contain a single physical bit stream interpreted as several interleaved logical bit streams representing e.g. audio, position, metadata, error correction. They are not a sequence of bytes. Cdroms and dvds put a block and byte abstraction on top of this so ddrescue can do something with them.
An automatic driving ban for passing under (being generous) the second red cross on a lane would weed out the arseholes. Just enforcing the existing law would help. The cameras and anpr are in place so it should be cheap to implement. But whenever such a thing is suggested motorists claim it's a conspiracy to empty their pockets.
This reminds me of a tweet last year of a driver claiming a cyclist with a camera caught his dad using his phone while driving, leading to him being barred from driving and losing his job.
When someone highlighted that the 6 point penalty meant this was at least his 2nd road traffic offence, he replied “yes but that’s not the point.”
I honestly believe some people are incapable of learning and banning them for their offences is really the only answer to make the roads safe.
I attended a prestigious university. You could pretty much do what you liked (including nothing) for the three years and the degree was awarded for 30 hours of exams in a single week. In the exam room you couldn't copy work or pay someone else to do it or consult a chatbot. You knew the subject or you didn't. So you don't have to change the teaching. You could change the examining.
This is why we have retakes. If your coursework results in lower grades than fellow students who cheated (with or without AI) there's no such recourse.
Even assuming all the students do it in good faith, there are factors other than knowing the material that can affect their performance on coursework. For example one person may have access to a well equipped, ergonomic, quiet space and plenty of undisturbed time in which to complete the assignment, while another may not.
The major benefit of exams is that everybody is taking them in, as far as possible, consistent and controlled conditions. It's not ideal, but I think it's better than the alternatives.
Some unis only allow retakes if you totally fail. They don't let you optionally choose to retake to try to do better, so no, that's not a solution that works for everyone.
Gas stoves might be constantly leaking, but they only produce particulates when they are alight. Assuming you don't have an ancient appliance with a pilot light.
