If we were playing “Who wants to be a millionaire?” Id choose this answer.

That title is not even Pratchett anymore, that’s straight Adams.

Thats just racism, according to Trevor Noah.

True, but I am also tired of explanations for Hamas terrorism becoming its justification. Not by you, obviously, but look around. This is what I meant: We can acknowledge that Israel is an apartheit state and has become fascist and did horrible things to palestinians over the last decades. We do not have to wonder that there are terrorists. At the same time, that does not mean that Israelis “deserve” it or that terrorism is inevitable like a force of nature.

Explanation =/= justification. But exactly this is getting abused by antisemites.

I have read some horrible comments over the last couple of days. From accusing me of “hurr durr both sides” to “there is no such thing as an innocent Israeli” (thanks hasanabi twitch chatter, not banned for this) while hundreds were slaughtered at a festival.

Every reasonable person must admit that. Just like every reasonable person must codemn Hamas terrorism. But people like picking teams, and appearently that makes doing both very hard.

How very cyberpunk, except for the fact that permission was given.

True, true. I dont know about you guys, but I am not having a lot of fun buying and building computers lately. Shit like this headline doesnt help.

I was thinking about buying a Macbook Air and run Linux on it, just for the battery life. But then I read this shit and yea…

Id be misogynistic as fuuuuuck.

Imagine getting something like NWN had.

Something something dogfooding

I seen a couple of these typical youtube commenters. “Left-leaning university”, shut the fuck up jeez. They are either completely lost here, or intentionally trolling, or pursuing their victim complex by venturing into enemy territory.

Holy fucking shit these comments. First the “Is BG3 a good game?” question after so many reviews are out, then “cranial leakage”.

What is wrong with you people. I stopped trying to please lost causes like you guys a long time ago. What a miserable attitude.

Next, deleting your account gets axed. Feature makes no sense.

Just block it. Wait, no, that “feature” makes no sense.

Non-shitpost: I know everyone is annoyed by now, but Ex-Twitter is a huge website and relevant?

Have found it relatively early after it was created, using it for getting a quick overview over papers when writing my own. It is sooo good for that.

Used only papers in german so far, sadly.

Here is something I found interesting in english:

Testing the test: Are exams measuring understanding? Brian K. Sato, Cynthia F. C. Hill, S. Lo Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education

in general: elicit.org

really good site.

In my experience, the best means of preparing for exams, as is universally advised, is to take previous or practice exams … which I think tells you pretty clearly what kind of task an exam actually is … a practiced routine in something that narrowly ranges between regurgitation and pretty short-form, practiced and shallow problem solving.

You are getting some flak, but imho you are right. The only thing an exam really tests is how well you do in exams. Of course, educators dont want to hear that. But if you take a deep dive into (scientific) literature on the topic, the question “What are we actually measuring here?” is raised rightfully so.

We have no way to determine if you did the work, or if an AI did, and if called into a court to certify your expertise we could not do so beyond a reasonable doubt.

Could you ever though, when giving them work they had to do not in your physical presence? People had their friends, parents or ghostwriters do the work for them all the time. You should know that.

This is not an AI problem, AI “just” made it far more widespread and easier to access.
