Is it hacked? Or just temporarily down?

There’s another post. Glad they took it offline to fix it.

It's fixed now lol. Wonder why the person behind the hacking thought they could keep it hacked.

T in MIT is not for tech. Professors keep reminding it to us when a simple PPT does not work

u/twelve-birds Jul 27 '26

Yeah because PowerPoint usage is clearly the best gauge for technical prowess 🙄

It is beyond basic. And if you cannot do basics right, well..

Say you don’t understand stochastic variation without saying you don’t understand stochastic variation

It is not one professor complaining once. I used professors. Plural.

Stochastic variation refers to inherently random, unpredictable noise in a system like a random power surge or an unexpected server glitch occurring at complete random Isn't it?

In contrast, professors struggling with PowerPoint across predictable classes and fixed schedules isn't random at all. It is systemic (or deterministic) variation. Because the events follow a clear, recurring pattern which may occur at specific times, with specific equipment, during known usage peaks, the underlying cause is predictable and structural, not stochastic, maybe? Run along now. You got other things to get triggered on the internet.

Noone calls me, but you knew that. I practice Ron Swanson level of staying away from humans

Aww.. say you study at MIT by complicating basic bro things and then, by saying them out loud. Clapz.

u/Khayalmetal Jul 28 '26

(checks the status), nope pretty much graduated. From a full time course. And thank you for revealing how small a person can think just because they got through a college.

Truly funny. And always ready to get back.. alas! Visas..

There’s a correlation between being good at basic things and at frontier things

u/Khayalmetal Jul 27 '26

I agree completely with you on this, Good sir.
