What you call azulejos is basically tilings, which are mostly tiles with geometric patterns (or just a color) covering an area. Azulejo, in the "strict" portuguese (of Portugal) se…

It's probably a scam. For instance there's this book published today about Fable ( https://leanpub.com/claudefable5thedefinitiveguidetoprompten... ). And Fable was only released to…

I'm not a native EN speaker (I'm Portuguese), therefore a lot is lost in my attempt to find the right words. I'm writing these words without any use of AI or even a sentence-checke…

How could I realistically enforce it? These are projects students do at home..

Not in the same level, see my other comments..

Everything that provides students with a workflow to think and to try to find solutions to a problem is much better than giving the answer directly! Unfortunately there will always…

This is all so new, and caught us completely unprepared that there's no official university-level policies. Most of us are still navigating the waters and seeing what works and wha…

> Would you have accepted them cooy-pasting code from libraries together to build their project? Yes, if they are "responsible" for the code delivered, where responsible means they…

CS Professor here: just yesterday I did the discussion of a course projects' (Parallel Computing), and one of the three groups that I did yesterday have clearly gone the ChatGPT wa…

It seems a bus to me, just look at the size of the windows. Airplanes don't have windows like that..

It were not astrologers, it was a company that creates astrology software.. Don't mix people with companies, they are different things! One is there definitely for the money, the o…

> Cant even be authentic in the internet anymore without being flagged as advertisement or an AI bot, jeez The sad state we got ourselves into..

As someone born and living in a country that uses the metric system, I do not understand a bit of what inches and feets mean. Tell me something has 10-15 cm, and I know what it mea…

A word of caution: sometimes the best wife is not the perfect girlfriend.. Hope you find yours..

If you're still working on this, you can add a "Pedantry mode" ou "Really faithful" switch that turns some of the suggestions on. It could work as a way to show that you're really …

I've been working in the intersection of LLMs and Traditional Astrology, for personal knowledge, professional and personal decision-making, and mostly for fun. I'm not a profession…

Everyday I have to prepare dinner and put the plates, glasses, forks and knifes in the table, and, I don't know why, get that feeling that I'd rather do anything else (or, most tim…

Experience from Portugal, near Lisbon: fake news and made-up stories traveled fast! My wife called me (before phones went out) saying someone heard on the radio that Portugal was o…

> What's the difficulty with just having assessments be done in a controlled invigilated exam room? Not all assessments are exams, eg: projects, and students cheat even in exams wi…

Fellow professor here, I don't think your approach would work where I teach. I teach in a Polytechnic school (Portugal), which is almost free for the students, so the incentive tha…

Almost 80 years has passed, some details get lost, but it is important to keep things like that alive in our consciousnesses. Even if you didn't to justice to those stories, I stil…
