I know this study is focused in China but one thing I'd like to understand is the nuance in what kind of student is likely to always reach for ai for homework help as I think (especially in the US, can't speak for other countrie

The headline is very misleading, because the manager already knew the employee was tardy, had spoken with privately on it, and merely consulted the AI before the making the decision. Even moreso the AI was faulty on keeping track on attenda

Maybe I missed this, but what are they considering a fact? More specifically, how dated (or recent) should be the answer be? Most of these questions read more like gotchas than trying to understand how and why the model got to it's spe

I wish the author could have made more concrete examples on this. I guess for me what's more revealing is more recently, the ease to which the leagues (I mainly follow basketball and soccer, but this probably true for many) adopted par

Really interesting! I actually use freecad so I'm use to that layer of the process but I'll check this out. Also good to see the work being done in modeling software these days

Part of the cynic in me just wants to ask "why not make a better harness by default?" The other cynic in me knows I'm about to see a hundred post on 'HOW TO 10X CLAUDE" from the ai bros and I'm already tired. I

I guess someone who has used a search agent (or a dedicated subagent) can speak when I'd reach for a tool like this vs either just 1) a smaller general model or 2) a non-llm approach to the problem? Like it's interesting I'm
