That’s super frustrating. Maybe it was easier when I asked because I was living in a location with active spread.

For the time, effort, and overall cost, my dr was fine with giving me an MMR without titers (born in the 70s with proof of MMRx2 in childhood). I did that a few years ago when there was an active outbreak in NYC.

Are we really going to blame a philanthropic group for supporting underrepresented topical areas in response to a rightwing movement to defund public education?

Many colleges have their own separate supplement to their regular application for homeschooled students. My kid landed on her feet and is currently in college, but I cannot overstate how much extra work it is for students and parents to move from homeschool to college.

Preparing all the paperwork to show the homeschooling curriculum and evaluations was daunting, and I work in higher education. There are so many hoops to jump through for a college applicant who is not in school or doesn’t have a HS diploma in hand.

She was only 2 credits shy of meeting graduation requirements for NY. But too young to take the GED for almost *2 years.* All the work of doing college applications without the support of a school system and counselor is no joke. 2/

I didn’t get past the paywall, but if the hypothesis is that it will help college admissions for kids growing up in NY, they have absolutely no clue. My daughter had to drop out of school in her junior year for medical reasons. The home instruction program had challenges that made it a bad fit. 1/

Remember how during the pandemic masking eliminated an entire flu strain, well guess what ? Large health systems including mine are back to recommending masking for visitors + healthcare personnel in hospitals and clinics due to the very high levels of flu we are seeing currently & because it works!

So much of what happened at the peak of the pandemic explains how we ended up with fascist consolidation at the Federal level and not mostly in the ways commentators discuss.

Many get sick while traveling.

One major reason is they don’t realize mass transit is high risk because airline CEOs lied about viral spread early in the pandemic and lobbied the CDC to lower precautions.

To make the most of your holiday, take precautions like wearing a mask when you travel!

I get you didn’t mean it that way. It seems like you are pretty new to this discussion (e.g. starting to see UG use it on the sly, while that’s been rampant for a while now). Remember that there are people who have been critically engaging for years and it’s tiresome for us to be scolded to keep up.

Yeah, you really can’t ask for a good faith argument when you begin with bad faith framing.

Please don’t confuse conscientious objection with fear.

Facts.

Numerous low-stakes assignments. Lots of scaffolding. Many discussions, in class and in private. Readings on LLMs and free writing and think-pair-share and anonymous feedback and a co-authored class consensus statement. Contract-based grading and much formative feedback. And STILL so much GenAI.

I’m not so sure about that. If this were my student, my LLM slop radar would be alerting.

you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch

we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

RFK Jr. says you shouldn’t get a Covid vaccine. All doctors and research results say you should. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

For the record this photo is of a local pharmacy in Brooklyn where I have gotten several of my Covid vaccinations 😊

If you’ve had a dose or doses in the past, one shot should be good. You can also ask for titers to check immunity, but that’s more time and money than getting a shot.

idk man i've been shoved into what basically amounted to high pressure sales seminars for block chain, MOOCs, NFTs, and god knows how many CMS tools every year since i started this job. in some ways unis are resistent to change and in a lot of other ways they are the most gullible mark in the room

Hi, I don’t know you, but I’m a queer parent to a (now nearly grown up) Margot, who has had more than her fair share of medical issues. I’m so happy your Margot is doing well! 💗

They’re so pretty, it hurts
