This seems key: "So, I now limit written papers to two pages and base students’ grades more heavily on oral discussions of their work, which allows me to probe their thought process and challenge their decisions." Oral…
There are many types of houses in between suburbs and skyscrapers. This is "missing middle" housing. Duplexes, townhouses, small apartment buildings, etc. Look at Old Town Alexandria, VA on Google Street View, for…
I guess for me, blatant LLM style reminds me of LinkedIn-speak. Both are distracting and come across as fake. Somehow it's more interesting to read something in another human's unique style than to read something that's…
You start reading. Then it hits you. The short, choppy sentences. The stock phrases. This wasn't written by a human — this was generated by AI.

Maybe a more general focus on getting students to practice critical thinking and fact-checking would be better. AI could be addressed as a small part of that, since chatbots are everywhere and students need to know how…
You're missing the point—we are each supposed to have our agent summarize the key points for us so we don't have to read all the generated slop! Let me do that now: hmm, this article seems to be a complaint about…
Sounds like a viral Tweet. Why wouldn't it be able to gain traction?

I just read Brent Jeffs's book "Lost Boy" last year. The amount of control the church leaders exert over the people is disturbing. (Even after the top leader has been revealed as a sexual predator.)
I don't see why megacorporations and governments are allowed to control the computer I carry around in my pocket, while I'm not.
Ouch. Imagine being let go just a few weeks from vesting. Doesn't seem fair to let someone work for months and months in anticipation of their big prize and then yank it away at the last minute.
You want the government to force employers to provide a social safety net rather than the government providing it directly? The problem isn't that people can be fired, it's that their food, housing, and medical care are…
Giving any kind of notice about layoffs while expecting employees to continue working is just bad for everyone. The employees stress out about whether they're going to be impacted. Nobody gets much work done as they…
Maybe they could be kept on the payroll without access to actually work. But the real problem is any law that would deport someone 30 days after they were laid off, even if they had been working for years. That should…
I've seen this type of thing with OsmAnd too. My hypothesis is that someone messed up when drawing the map, and made the offramp an extension of the highway. But I haven't actually verified this.
About the same time it'd take me to build Twitter.
It was gonna cost 1 million of your tax dollars to build the levee protecting your house, but we're saving you money by building it out of sticks. We'll send a dude out to throw a few more on every few days.
Yo, we decided to build a dam in the creek behind your house. We're not sure what the impact will be on your house and backyard, so watch out. You've got three days, construction has already started.
Let's hope the beavers allocate sufficient funding to maintain the dam.
I'm not driving, officer, I'm traveling!
Except the ads don't show up anywhere "on the internet", they only show up on the photo editing site.
The author mentioned closing their VPN port so people would stop trying to break in, but this also cut off the author's access. Tailscale allows you to connect to your home network without opening a port to allow…
Just learn to program if you are interested in it. Tech skills in general are a good investment right now. And if AI does get good enough to replace your programming job, it will soon replace all other jobs too.
Jira, but that's not saying much... somehow in 2024 the world's most popular ticketing system doesn't have all the bugs ironed out of its editor. I'm constantly running into little issues with the formatting in…
