On the other hand, being better-able to understand its capabilities in relation to the courses I teach will help to improve the teaching content and assessment structure of those courses to encourage human learning.

On the one hand, I hate AI and want nothing to do with it, owing to the many ethical nightmares associated with it.

Knowing that AI is an ethical nightmare, I'd love some opinions on this question:

As a teacher, is it ethical to use AI to attempt my course's assignments to understand how the current capabilities of AI compare to my students, and to learn to better-recognise what AI-generated solutions look like?

When people say "sure he opposes trans rights but at least he's moderate enough to be electable", they are basically saying "I am willing to sacrifice the lives of trans people in the hope of convincing centrists to vote for my candidate". This is not acceptable to me.

I wrote a new blog post discussing an example I use to teach object-oriented programming. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

You are told the story of the unsuccessful family YouTube channel The Kelly Krew, which imploded after the father got embroiled in January 6 and spent months in prison. You then die.

Imagine you're a music app on your deathbed, knowing that in a few minutes you'll be sucked up into a vortex and rained down upon Sibelius, MuseScore and Dorico in a hurricane of blood, so you ask for a story to calm your fear.

A screenshot of a website. The website has a photo of a rabbit, captioned with the text "Bnuuy says that it is 11:43 AM". The rabbit's ears are pointed so as to match this time on an analog clock.

I made a website where bunnies tell you what time it is using their ears

AI decision-making can be ethical, but is that enough?

Every two years, KDE (the Linux desktop) has a community-wide vote for their primary goals. Each goal is championed by a small team who work across the project to help make it a reality. The goals are often UX-oriented (such as improving support for input methods). blogs.kde.org/2024/09/07/k...

According to the talk page of 314 (number), numbers need at least 3 interesting properties to have a page about them created. As such, that dawg in me (autism creature) wants to write a computer program to find interesting properties of numbers so that I can add Wikipedia articles for those numbers.

314 is the last sequential integer that has its own dedicated Wikipedia article before they start skipping numbers.
