I’ve heard of setups using really nice cameras to take stills that then get cleaned up. Not sure if / what the budget is or the options if someone doesn’t have the equipment already. Maybe a photo studio could do as be real paintings in a short time?

Gen Z has seen what happens at protests on college campuses.

KPOP Demon Hunters is a movie about the importance of effective public health communication in this essay I will...

I don’t think there is a general consensus for teaching people to pay attention to their own thoughts when they’re learning. That would at least let folks have some insight into whether they are learning when using an LLM.

I think we’re stuck in the transition from “education has required lots of individual effort for that individual to become an expert in X”. Folks with good metacognition and how to learn can make effective use of LLMs. Folks who don’t will just take LLM output.

There is some nuance here. Undoubtedly the task of creating GOOD class notes requires some digestion of information and then reorganizing in a useful manner. The effort to do so helps recall, but the structure of organization is probably also useful in ways that a raw transcript is not.

The question: "does the mean face of a self-reported extravert differ from the mean face of a self-reported introvert" is trivial and not interesting, but of course is conflated with the unrealistic and problematic task of "predict whether someone is an extravert or intravert based on their face".

follow-up thought:
* Tasks that require skill integration are more difficult to muddle through with LLM help than tasks that require only a single skill.

Some general pedagogical thoughts:
* students better able to mask learning in first half, leaves them behind without ability to catch up
* students are more burnt out / have more demands in second half of semester
* second half requires more skill integration, which is its own challenge

The interface is always tricky - how "realistic" do you make it? And how much is a student's understanding linked specifically to the representation in the interface?

Neat idea though, and always hard to predict what tool students will use for stats beyond the class, so you have to teach something.

Something about their stove lines being named "Liberty" "Freedom" and "Heritage" makes me feel a little wary...

I'm not going to be there this year, but do stop by the Community for Rigor booth to chat with my colleagues, and grab some of our swag!

Taking a beat before replying (either to re-read or do anything else) is prosocial behavior, to be honest. 😅

Absolutely, I think we need more direct alignment in values between publishing and research. Profit is just one such dimension and the space is very high-dimensional.

ooo, bricklink?

To me, the consequence of most concern, is that LLM-based papermills adapt and start training on QED until they get a version that passes, and then submit that version of the paper.

I keep it on my keychain next to a lego brick separator. Seems semantically similar in my head.

The only one who really knows the original intent is Leonid.

Personally, I think a title that follows the pattern of "[British institution] invaded by [non-white] [bad people]" is hugely distasteful.

much is made of mamdani's digital strategy, but all of that Posting went to proving that he lived in the real world, appealing to real people about real issues. this dynamic is something to watch as GOP (and center libs tbh) drift into the Posting ether of the X filter bubble
