I apparently lost my gloves yesterday, which made today a real joy.

Most of the highs aren't *that* bad, but that's not the temperature when I'm walking to my office!

At least at this point, for my needs, it's more cost effective than upgrading to the claude max.

(my needs are pretty basic though)

I hit my claude usage limit, and then switched to copilot, and was able to keep working due to the project markdown files. was surprisingly seamless (at least on this project, I'm sure on complicated ones it would be messier)

question: how do you feel about github copilot using sonnet/opus as it's model (compared to claude code, not like how do you feel about it emotionally).

If you're hoping to show students evidence to support your tech rules/interactive pedagogical approach, here's what I use. Decidedly not comprehensive, but makes the key points.

Ah that's right, it's about Venezuela not Greenland

I meant to take a picture of the poster, but I think he's giving a talk on that topic at uchicago soon.

I just don't like the misleading screenshot.

There's enough in the profile anyway to make fun of anyway.

For better learning in college lectures, lay down the laptop and pick up a pen | Brookings Susan Dynarski examines the evidence that students learn better if they aren't using their laptops during lectures.

The fact that Greenland is Danish is just the cherry on top

nice to have the bias variance tradeoff solved, makes teaching easier

Iโ€™m honestly unsure, maybe geopolitics less than the others but im not confident

On the one hand, this is real dumb.

On the other, at least it doesnโ€™t look like weโ€™re attacking any time soon?
