The only longterm solution that makes sense is to allow students to use AI tools and to require a log provided by the AI tool to be provided. Adjust the assignment accordingly and …

Does it require Azure to work? Or could the Azure steps be relatively easily be swapped out for AWS/GCP/etc?

Squiggle is an extension of the OpenAI Realtime API that generates insights (summarization, highlights, structured data, and content flags) in realtime as the conversation occurs. …

First money in at a 40M valuation? Assuming this is pre-seed, that seems like the investor is taking on a lot of risk based on the distribution of outcomes.

"Show me the incentive, I'll show you the outcome". I do not know anything of the culture of Tesla and am not commenting on it specifically, and that quote could apply just as much…

Goodhart's law applies to how inflation measures have ceased to be an accurate measure: "when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

It's surprising how many parents I know who are in denial about this. It must be because they themselves are constantly using social media and don't want to accept what it is doing…

These types of tools should exclude all files and directories in the .gitignore as standard operating procedure, unless those files are specifically included. Not just because of s…

And cash that disappears from your bank account? Great for going long in the stock market.

The thing that really gets me is that even once you hear these conversations, the price might 2x or 3x from there. I felt this way about Bitcoin by the summer of 2017 but obviously…

These streaming services need some way to identify the number of viewers. I'm sure there'll always be some ways around this (there already is via piracy), but they'd want something…

As us engineers like to say, the goal is to automate ourselves out of a job.

"Master" is similar to the master copy of a work. It is used as a reference to base branches from.

"Slave" is not a term used by Git or Github, and its use of "master" is not related to the vocabulary of "master/slave". Not the first to say this, but the media seems to be gettin…

Has there been any research into the extent that masks do or don't result in modified behavior, not directly related to the mask? For example, if you go out and most people are wea…

Mountain House near Tracy? I don't think I've ever heard of Mountain House before.
