  In Europe we have GOG instead
  G - science technology engineering maths O - ond G - gumanities

    G - gumanities

    Or as we like to call it, GNU/Gumanities.

      Or, as I’ve taken to calling them, GNU plus Gumanities.

        I use art, btw

      GNU is not umanities.

    why is this so fucking funny

  My subjective interpretation of STEM is “degrees you need to know calculus for”. They’re all math heavy, with precise answers. While the arts are certainly important, I just don’t see how they fit that motif. What is this supposed to accomplish?

    I don’t think I’ve had anything calculus related in my biology degree.

      Guess biology isn’t STEM then, sorry.

      But I’m all seriousness, calculus (and by extension differential equations) is super common in bio. Reaction rates, stable population sizes, micro and macro. I’d be surprised if you never came across it.

      So THAT’S why a biologist had to reinventcalculus in 1994:

      Which is why all the bio papers are n=2

    Art is about analyzing the questions, design is about analyzing the solutions. Many engineers I’ve met get wrapped up in the process and fail to address the actual issues.

    This guy is the textbook example. His projects always go down deadends and lose scope. He would definitely be better off with some CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) before he runs off to his CNC mill with a $200 block of aluminum.

    I agree.

    The more wild version I saw of STEAM had Agriculture as the A. I also felt that was redundant since modern agriculture involves a lot of science (biology) and engineering (equipment).

    You need calculus for vibe coding?

    source

    • ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Vibe coding without any prior knowledge is just a catastrophe waiting to happen. Vibe coding with prior knowledge just makes you realize how dumb the AI is the moment you try anything else besides throwing a website together.

  So I’d that just all college degrees besides business?

  • Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Yea. All the real collegiate degrees and the bullshit degree.

  Wasn’t STEAM supposed to be something specific, not a replacement of STEM? Idk, I just know the acronym because Angela Collier did a video.
