Dear All
Have you seen Prof Biscuit recently?

Professor Biscuit is roaming Main Building or more likely, is asleep somewhere cosy. Have you seen him recently? If so, could he be persuaded to be returned to the Bursary, please?

They're also responsible for one of the best emails I've ever received, when the college office sent out a plea for sightings of Professor Biscuit while conveniently forgetting to mention that he was a cat...(I won't comment on how often a similar email might have gone out about human Professors...)

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort β€” specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.

Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Straining her ears, she hears the rustle of a blanket and the whisper of footsteps across the carpeted floor, but they’re headed in the opposite direction of her. Ness rolls cautiously to her other side and sneaks a glance.

if you don't know the cause, take a break until you figure it out

if it turns out the cause is burnout or depression, great! you're already taking the first step toward dealing with it

if not, still great! you got a rest which never hurts!

The illustrated cover of WORLD'S OKAYEST ORACLE (RELUCTANTLY) SEEKS DEMON by Olivia Dade, featuring a man and a woman standing back to back against a hot pink background, appearing poised for action. The woman is holding a curved athame, while the man has a fireball just above his open, upturned palm. There are flames and small hearts surrounding them.

Maybe you'd like to see the amazing cover for WORLD'S OKAYEST ORACLE (RELUCTANTLY) SEEKS DEMON, my book about an infamously underpowered oracle saving the world alongside the uptight demon who helped ruin her life 20 years ago?
