There's also changing from circuit to packet switching, which also drastically changes how the handover process works.

tl;Dr - handover in 5G is buggy and barely works. The whole thing of switching from one service area to another in the middle of a call is held together by hopes and dreams.

Somehow I disagree with both the premise and the conclusion here.

I dislike a direct answer to things as it discourages understanding. What is the default memory allocation mechanism in glibc malloc? I could get the answer sbrk() and mmap() and call it a day, but I find understanding when it uses mmap instead of sbrk (since sbrk isn't numa aware but mmap is) way more useful for future questions.

Meanwhile, Google adding a tab for AI search is helpful for people who want to use just AI search. It doesn't take much away from people doing traditional web searches. Why be mad about this instead of the other true questionable decisions Google is doing?

Nope. Plenty of people want this.

In the last few years I've seen plenty of cases where CS undergrad students get stumped if ChatGPT is unable to debug/explain a question to them. I've literally heard "idk because ChatGPT can't explain this lisp code" as an excuse during office hours.

Before LLMs, there were also a significant amount of people who used GitHub issues/discord to ask simple application usage questions instead of Googling. There seems to be a significant decrease of people's willingness to search for an answer regardless of AI tools existing.

I wonder if it has to do with weaker reading comprehension skills?
