Finally left reddit when they killed third party apps. There were a lot of people leaving Reddit at the same time for the same reason.

I suppose strictly speaking you only need to mark the hits. If you’re not cheating, your opponent’s misses don’t really matter much.

Maybe it would be worthwhile to explicitly build the assignment around using AI, and grading on editing the result? Kinda like how research papers are graded on properly citing and presenting information that’s not supposed to be original.
If LLMs are going to be a lasting tool, maybe using them effectively is an important skill to teach. Encourage AI use in generating components, but force those components into a structure that AI struggles with, and grade based on how well the AI-generated components fit together in a coherent end product.
I remember when I was studying math in college, the upper level courses regularly gave take-home exams because all the tools and resources in the world weren’t going to help if you didn’t understand the material.
It’s not a great solution, if students are using AI to skirt learning the basics then they aren’t going to develop the skills to understand the work they’re editing. Kinda like calculators; they’re great when you’re being evaluated for more complex tasks where the arithmetic isn’t the important part, but kids still need to learn how to do the arithmetic in the first place before they automate it.
But the genie’s out of the bottle. Fair or not, teachers are going to have to adapt to test the skills that can’t be automated yet. I was around for the tail end of teaching kids how to use the card catalog in the library to do research, but everyone just uses search engines now.
I do not envy teachers right now. They have a Hurculean task before them, and I only see it getting worse as AI gets better.

They are really good, you should watch them. I think they just added the last one. They’re longer and more structured than the internet videos.

They aren’t new, they aired in the UK a couple years ago. Dropout did pick them up for their platform though.

The Secret is fine, but it’s not a secret and it didn’t need to be a whole book.
The Law of Attraction is just noticing things. If you focus on something a lot, you’ll start noticing things related to it more often. Same principle behind noticing other cars with the same make and model as yours, or pareidolia. That’s it.

This is either a huge green flag because he likes to goof around and doesn’t take himself too seriously, or a huge red flag because he’s a psycho. Hard to tell

True, but people cleaning things in the kitchen doesn’t make it the cleaning room. It’s the passing lane, speed is a byproduct of the actual purpose.
- Comment on Music just isn't good anymore 1 week ago:
Old stuff I’m partial to classic prog rock and jazz fusion (Yes, Chic Corea, Frank Zappa, etc.). New stuff is kinda all over the place, but the more genre bending the more likely I am to like it (black midi, KGatLW, The Comet is Coming, etc).

There’s no such thing as a “fast lane”. “Fast lane” implies that there’s a speed fast enough to justify staying there, which is false.
It’s the passing lane. You use it to pass slower traffic in the middle lane before getting back into the middle lane. If you’re not passing people, you do not belong in that lane.

Yeah this is almost exactly upside down for me. Most of my favorite music is from before I was born, and as I’ve gotten older I’ve only gotten more into new music.

If I’m not mistaken, the actual contention between Columbus and scholars was about the size of the Earth. Columbus believed it was substantially smaller than scholars estimated it to be, and if he hadn’t gotten lucky running into America he and his crew would have starved long before they reached their intended destination.

I use a Rubik’s cube in pictures when I’m trying to show the scale of something, so maybe this is just me, but he looks child sized.

The second one. It preys on innocent childish fears, so kill that part of you. Haha, so clever, makes sense in universe I guess. But like, why would you make your universe that way?

On the one hand, I kinda get the logic. On the other, Stephen no, wtf.
- Comment on Cultural impact 3 weeks ago:
As someone who had FernGully on VHS, there are marked similarities, though it’s not exactly 1-to-1. The main conflict is resource extraction, although instead of a gung-ho colonel we get Tim Curry as literal pollution. The protagonist gets transformed to fit in with the locals, but it’s an accident by one of the locals instead of deliberate choice. Instead of a cranky Sigourney Weaver, we get a spastic Robin Williams as a bat.
Overall, Avatar is closer to FernGully than to a lot of other going-native movies. Environmental conservation is the driving theme of both films.

It’s a fun enough sci-fi show in it’s own right, I like the whole Brother Dawn/Day/Dusk thing. But it is not really a faithful adaptation at all, and is super frustrating to watch when they just change key story elements.

It’s not required, but it does add decent fertilizer so I’m sure it’s preferable.
