    If a kid is smart enough to figure this out and make it work for them, they’re gonna be fine…

      As someone who was a kid who would do things like this to avoid putting in the work, no this kid will probably not be fine.

    Ok but calculators are only allowed in math class and if there’s one thing language models suck at, it’s doing basic math. Forget anything at least as complicated as algebra

        Dude, I was wondering why someone hadn’t done this the moment they discovered Ai was terrible at math. I would have imagine the crowds who deal with both would have some overlap at least.

        You have an option not to take science?

        Damn. Where I live the three main sciences were mandatory and they were all separate subjects

          I played whatever version was easily accessible on Ubuntu’s repository in 2009, and once managed to get a ton of bitches and effectively infinite money. I have no idea how I did it.

    I used to store formulas in basic programs in my ti84 but they were never useful because I didn’t need help memorizig formulas

        Yeah but at least work on an enclosed system is always zero. Idk why but I always chuckle about that.

        Sure, you can prove it in like 4 to 8 lines of multivariate calculus, but its always gonna be 0.

      Not sure if it’s the same thing but a few days ago I saw a youtube video where person modded it with a wifi card so it could communicate with your pc which is at home. It required internet access from your phone which needs to be near though.

      It sounds fake because it sounds like they only used software hacks. But they also added a microcontroller board in it with wireless networking

    Its been quite a while since I’ve taken a proctored exam, but then all the proctors would clear all the memory on your calc before they’d let you use it for test. Is that not the case anymore?

      Depends on the exam. Some don’t even allow programmable calcs because they don’t want to deal with possible shit like this. I have already seen a certification exam where they provide the calculators as well.

      The article said it can be download “on demand” so that might make the clearing pointless.

          Or use a dongle to lock the calc in test mode, where unlock needs a passcode sent from it.

      The launcher program can be downloaded on-demand, avoiding detection if a teacher inspects or clears the calculator’s memory

      If I understood it correctly, the Wi-Fi module appears as a standard calculator-to-calculator interface, so built-in commands can install the cheat apps at any time.

    Bring your calculator to the Spanish exam. Trust me, this plan is flawless.

    What would happen if now plug in another calculator? AFAIK that only a P2P connection and never meant for >2 parties.

    Utilizing the tools available to you to solve problems is not cheating, its resourcefulness, and using your brain. Which is of course frowned upon in schools that exist to churn out mindless drones for corporate enslavement.

        Id see it potentially being useful for starting a problem. Could probably point you towards the right direction for physics problem even if the numbers are off
