    Do your students know their feedback is AI generated? A pre-AI example from the military : course reviews and performance assessments were changes to be from a set of about 70 desc…

    I wonder if this will mean a resurgence of encyclopedias or other authoritative digital records that are known to be verified.

    Cool. I hope this blows up in their face and is reverted in a few months. I don't need my phone book index to suddenly not be an index and force me to use a call center instead.

    I wonder how visible it will be when showing final charges for an order. I'd definitely be more likely to "wait it out" when considering purchases in my cart if I can see what I ex…

    So, given that Phoenix, Denver, and Vegas already have spacing similar to European nations do they see the benefits that the author is suggesting?

    Amusing that the author can't stomach referring to themselves as an agent manager so they retreat back to the term "agent engineering". Please.

    That was the joke: it's not easy to quit smoking.

    Professional engineers are required to consider the interests of the public in their work, have an obligation to reject unethical or harmful instructions and are regulated by their…

    Not the kindest take (and unlikely true).

    Students tend to be fairly lazy, so this may simply mean another x% of the class reads the material rather than scanning in the 60 pages of reading for the assignment.

    Which module introduces students to some of the ethical and environmental aspects of using GenAI?

    Exactly this. Increasing prices with worsening service and feature bloat combined with questionable ethics made it an easy decision to cancel.

    Australia has 6 weeks of leave at similar service levels, plus 11 public holidays. Turns out many countries have figured out how to not work themselves to death.

    None of this is necessary.

    It's a bit telling of your own biases that government/public housing seems to have escaped mention as "having a place" in this scenario.

    Feels like people on their deathbed are allowed to express their thoughts, trite/trivial or not. When you are literally dying the last thing on your mind should be whether some blo…

    That's a worthwhile view, but unlikely to occur. You may as well wish away casinos and alcohol while you're at it.

    I was tempted to respond with an offhand comment about the size of the industry or similar, but what axe do you have to grind about PC gaming? You'd prefer folks go to the far more…

    It's a very good system. $20 is the right number to get you off the couch, but not so much as to cripple you. There are exceptions if you have a valid reason for not voting. The ma…

    I'm not sure if you've been following, but the current SCOTUS hasn't seemed to as concerned about upholding precedents as previous courts have.

    Thanks for clarifying, I fully agree with your take. Peer review helps, particularly where reviewers are equipped and provided the time to do the role correctly. However, it is not…

    Unfortunately while catching false citations is useful, in my experience that's not usually the problem affecting paper quality. Far more prevalent are authors who mis-cite materia…
