Oh wow. I’ve been in that place, but never seen that perspective. Thanks for this

I had one and I also really loved the way it sounded.

I bought my FairPhone from Clove too. It was easy and the phone works great here.

That was super interesting. Thanks!

That was fascinating. Thanks!

Wow. I’ve been rendered speechless.

“Let them cheat”

I mean, yeah, that’s one way to go. You could say “the students who cheat are only cheating themselves” as well. And you’d be half right about that.

I see most often that there are two reasons that we see articles from professors who are waving the warning flags. First is that these students aren’t just cheating themselves. There are only so many spots available for post-grad work or jobs that require a degree. Folks who are actually putting the time into learning the material are being drowned in a sea of folks who have gotten just as far without doing so.

And the second reason I think is more important. Many of these professors have dedicated their lives to teaching their subject to the next generation. They want to help others learn. That is being compromised by a massively disruptive technology. the article linked here provides evidence of that, and therefore deserves more than just a casual “teach better! the tech isn’t going away”

Have you seen the size of these classrooms? It’s not uncommon for lecture halls to seat 200+ students. You’re thinking that each student is going to present? Are they all going to create a presentation for each piece of info they learn? 200 presentations a day every day? Or are they each going to present one thing? What does a student do during the other 199 presentations? When does the teacher (the expert in the subject) provide any value in this learning experience?

There’s too much to learn to have people only learning by presenting.

The “work” that LLMs are doing here is “being educated”.

Like, when a prof says “read this book and write paper answering these questions”, they aren’t doing that because the world needs another paper written. They are inviting the student to go on a journey, one that is designed to change the person who travels that path.

I’m not sure about this. The only way I can make my lips touch when saying that number is if I actually say pour.

I’m a big fan of my Synology NAS. It solved the problem I needed it to solve quickly and securely. And now that I have a solid backup system in place, I’ve been building out my own locally hosted services in my own time, stress free. It’s a good safety net that way.

This is really good advice! Figuring out the right way to deal with frustrating peers is something they’ll pick up at school, but getting them started down that path early will make their first few weeks so much better.

Just delightful

Wow. I read that a second time instantly after finishing the first read. It’s such a sharp way to express the kind of malignant opinions surrounding us today.

It’s impressive the way this poem uses little techniques to invite you into the head of the narrator, making the final few lines hit hard.

Just in case no one has said it, you faced a tough challenge and did a great job. Well done!

Keep at it, single parents! You got this.

Thank you for looking at the primary material and using your own judgement, instead of just reading headlines. Thank you also for coming back here and writing about what you discovered. You’ve made this little slice of the internet a better place, and I appreciate that.

Omg! Omfg! Why have I never considered this before. That could be really fun.

Oh man, I would love a 3rd game! I started replaying the first two recently. Had to grab a pad of paper to note down all the side quest stuff I was finding. It brought me right back to the good old days.

I loved how grounded and fantastic this one is. Thank you.
