Shabbos goy. Pete Hamill was one, and tells a good story. Snow in August, I believe, is based on his experiences.

lol. Emotional Rescue was when I stopped listening, but I hope that Keith and Mick live forever, even as statistical outliers. I love folks that win the life lottery. It's a hope for all of us.

"Sir" Jony Ive? Sure fine, recognized by the crown and all that. It looks like a Kia. Don't get me wrong, I like Kia's. If Ive was a lollipop he'd lick himself. When you get to a point that you can no longer do semi

If you have a green field, by all means write it in rust. If you have a brown field, and a functional profitable system, rewrite the parts that need rewriting in the original language, whatever that is, and carry on. Make your systems bet

It's a very interesting question. One can't tell the difference between the "clear" and the clean human effort, or even if it matters. I'm not sure what the right answer should be. In sport, I have an answer. In dev

There's a connection here, right? https://www.enhanced.com/games I'm haven't worked out angles or implications, but it seems to rhyme for me.

Yeah. True, I feel. The signaling and recommendations have gone both overboard and data-free. The end results might be bad.

I understand the challenge, but is Graham (OP?) getting too caught up in how the code ought to look, rather that what it ought to do. I don't think it matters much initially how a piece of work looks as long as it does what's inte

A better framing is to "reduce" inequality rather that "eliminate" inequality. Intuitively it makes sense that more money means more security. Why would anyone put in the effort otherwise? But, at some point, one has to

Isn't self-censorship a curse? I'm inclined to reply with a big yawn; but you can never underestimate the tug of sentimentality of an unexperienced past for other people. Is this bloke a has-been, or a never-wuz; and trying desper

Yes. There's an adage in medicine. See one, do one, teach one. I think it applies generally.

As a local, one of the funnest things to do is to host out-of-town guests and to just do the touristy things in combination with local knowledge. Bus tours, museums, food, etc. Do it all. For me, it's stuff I'd probably never do u

I love how words and phrases go out someplace, are adjusted, and then they come back in a more expressive form. The brilliance of language!

Me too. Super disappointed. I was thinking, yeah that sounds fun. But, nope.

There's a declaration that a 915 MW power-plant was removed from the grid, and moved to emergency status only. However, every other number in the piece is mentioned as some multiple of Wh's (GWh typically). That makes it very hard

It's a crude blade to avoid the issues of AI pollution of weekly submissions, of which few teachers have much confidence that the submission itself was actually written by the student - who's assumed to be learning something. The

Genuinely interested. What was the final like? This seems more in the experimental science (ok, journalism) category. I may have to adjust my thinking to be more expansive and also include things like "vocational".

In the simplest case, where we'll say the exam question was precisely the topic of the 20 page paper, the candidate would be golden. Of course, it's unlikely in a 3 hr. exam that you'll be asked to write a 20 page response; b

Yes. There will be no other marks available for adjusting a final grade. One test, one mark. One knows the stuff, or one doesn't. Accommodations are real and necessary, but applied at the end. (Experimental sciences are an exception)

That would be really poor course design :-)

It's to prove that a student is actually educated and has a firm grasp of the course material. If one gets an A every week on AI-assisted submissions, can one make such a claim? And can a teacher make the claim that they've achiev

If you nail the one exam, you get an A+. If you fail it, you get an F. In between, you get what your score says you get.

by kayo_20211030 8mo ago
Would you design a system to assess knowledge, avoiding the distortions of AI on weekly submissions, according to the general case or the exceptional case? Accommodations are part of the fabric already. It doesn't seem inconceivable th

If you have spent several days structuring a 20 page argument in October on any topic you'll have learnt a great deal about the subject matter. When you get to the exam hall in, say, May it will stand to you. That knowledge will show

Students are neither generally stupid nor constitutionally lazy. I sense that when expectations are clear they'll often surprise you with diligence. We should trust them to do the right thing. If they do, it's an A; and if not, it

by kayo_20211030 8mo ago
Yes. That's fair. Students should know, up front, what they're supposed to learn.

Ultimately, you ask the student, in one audited test, to demonstrate that they've absorbed the essence of the course material and have developed some level of mastery.
