This was one option for my philosophy of science course: write a four-question final exam that Chat couldn't pass. One paragraph answers to questions about our assigned readings (primary lit in the field). Explain why the answer was wrong. This turned out to be extremely difficult (đ§”)

Avec 30°C en Bretagne, ce 8 avril n'est plus seulement impressionnant, il en est inquiĂ©tant. 47 records mensuels battus (en dĂ©but du mois s'il vous plaĂźt !). « Profite, pour une fois quâil fait beau » ? Non. Je mâexcuse, mais je ne vois rien de rĂ©jouissant Ă danser dans une maison qui brĂ»le.

On rappelle que la migration vers Eurosky n'est pas une démarche hostile envers Bluesky. Disposer de plusieurs grands fournisseurs de service, c'est le meilleur moyen pour que l'ATmosphere devienne une norme pour les réseaux sociaux, et c'est bénéfique pour tous (surtout pour la démocratie !)

Seems someone is taking the âATproto is federatedâ promise seriously and running an instance other than Bluesky: âBlackskyâ (so as to limit Bluesky's power of censorship). This sounds like great news, so let's watch how it unfolds.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

The nature of a lot of jobs is going to go from creating output to directing and verifying the output of AI tools. Software engineering is already halfway there. Many people who got into software because they like writing code will need to find a new source of satisfaction from their work.

Doing a PhD is - at heart - one long discussion with your mentor. The discussion changes over time - with unexpected turns and ups & downs - but through it all is a pair of people discussing a topic endlessly to make sense of it. PhD students: choose someone you like to talk to!

Still thinking about that scholar who implied replicators just weren't skilled enough to reproduce the effects he uncovered. Sure, lab and field experiments are incredibly hard to set up well. But if our findings are that fragile, what are we even doing?
