Are Many College Students Losing the Ability to Read?

Futurism reports:

in a new essay for The Chronicle Higher Education, university-level literature and writing instructor Tyler Jagt recalls how not a single one of his students could get through an assigned 20-page article, something that he had read "without complaint" as an undergraduate a decade ago.

One student confessed that the reason they didn't finish was that they kept losing track of what the paper was about. And there's no doubt that they're not alone. Jagt cites the 2024 National Assessment of

Как мы собрали LLM-шлюз для России: готовый LiteLLM на data-plane, свой биллинг на Go и n8n

Год назад доступ к зарубежным LLM из России превратился в квест. OpenAI и Anthropic не принимают российские карты и блокируют запросы по гео. Обходные пути — VPN, иностранная карта, прокладка через знакомых за рубежом — годятся для пет-проекта, но не для продакшена, где нужен стабильный аккаунт, предсказуемый счёт и возможность объяснить бухгалтерии, за что платим.Мы сделали apiglue — шлюз, который закрывает эту боль: один OpenAI-совместимый endpoint, за которым прячутся десятки...
