X is dead. Just accept it and move on. It will be even more dead once generative AI takes over everything. If it has not already.

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

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

I am not allowed to say hateful things here I think, but man I really hope McConnell lives a long life. He seems to be in perfect health and enjoys living by the looks of it, and I want that joy to continue for him as long as possible :) :) :)

Been like that forever. Maybe we just had a brief intermission. :/

“On Sept. 29, Dianne Feinstein, 90, died of natural causes. She had cast a vote in the Senate less than a day prior.”

Banger first two sentences. As an observer not from the US, this feels like Emperors New Clothes to me. But instead of a naked emperor, you have paraded a corpse through the senate and acted as if she was a fighter like Xena, Warrior Princess or something.

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…

Imagine getting something like NWN had.

So this is why he is not afraid of “Hang Mike Pence!” chants.

Didnt the American People give themselves a constitution and laws already for this reason?

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.
