I think this is actually the correct answer. </p><p>They repeatedly say "we are not guaranteeing your seat, only your category of seat" (like window/aisle), to cover their asses if there is an equipment change.</p><p>So I think you've nailed it: what the are saying is you've successfully booked a "seat category".</p>

But if the class did much worse than I expected, I would grade on a curve, figuring that I might have taught poorly. So no one’s grade would be made worse by the curve, but might be made better.</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@shriramk" class="u-url mention">@<span>shriramk</span></a></span> </p><p>I only grade on cubic curves; any four students' grades are sufficient to determine the grade of the whole class.</p>
<p>Grading on a curve is like a distributed system: the success/failure of a student you didn't even know existed can render your own grade unstable. (Seeing a kid's friend losing honors because some other student's parents moved out of town!) Yet another reason to not like it.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@shriramk" class="u-url mention">@<span>shriramk</span></a></span> Maybe they added some kind of f'ed up AI to translate their stuff? Because in German it's "Sitzplatz" so "seat space" or "sit space" or "sit place" or whatnot. How "space" turns into "character" only the LM itself could maybe tell you. If you poke it long enough. Or it might just be some dumb shit that oozed its way into production differently. Personally I don't fly anymore because I am sure that this auto-generated crap is in the control systems as well by now.</p>
@whitequark@mastodon.social @azonenberg@ioc.exchange @mwk@donotsta.re I'm now curious what material a RF absorbency model of a vagina is made out of, and how it's equivalence to the real thing was tested
