It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — 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.

Trying to bookmark mentally because that looks excellent

Study begun pre-COVID finds remote work increased sleep by 1/2 hr/night, decreased commute by 4.5 hr/week replaced with work, family & leisure and led to healthier eating. Remote and hybrid employees report higher job satisfaction and well-being. farmingdale-observer.com/2025/05/16/s...

That would be AMAZING

Great that AI/ChatGPT can write essays and draw pictures etc (for the boring stuff), but what I'd particularly like to outsource are things like doing my skincare routine every night and flossing. It's all just endless. Maybe also a decluttering robot, thanks.

This is bleak reading

Good news, we've added 100 new car parking spaces right next to the terminal. That's enough for 37 BMWs

Very common! Although can't help thinking of this:

Pediatricians say that childhood vaccines are safe. A heroin-addled nepo baby with a brain worm says they may not be. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

It's like something from Adrian Mole

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning:

“Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer."

[applause] 🙏🏼

I can't cope!!! At least now I can just call it misophonia instead of wondering why the rage was so intense. The stress of it.

If anyone was hit by a phone on the beach today, can you let Gary at our flight school know? Cheers.

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

I spend a lot of my time annoyed at things, but should be channelling it productively!

I need to schedule some kind of exam to study for so I eventually declutter. Good luck!

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

I was looking for the comment in my head!

Always on the lookout for something for my walks, so going to bookmark this one. Thanks!

I refer to growing up in the acid rain/ quicksand/impending nuclear conflict era as being "classically trained" in generalized anxiety

I skipped the "all" on my first skim and wondered what a gender team was. Realising what they were actually saying was a bit of a letdown. Not too bothered as long as they actually clean them!
Now just remembering the "Perfect Days" film and wishing for those facilities 😂

NOT THE CASHMERE!

Love to learn about an AirTrain JFK outage from MTA instead of PANYNJ.

The Jamaica branch is offline Friday 11p-Monday11a, and again next weekend. Avoid it! Do not use the shuttle buses! Go to Howard Beach instead.

Nobel Prize material…

A remarkable story

You are most certainly in the village. The advice and support was very much appreciated, not to mention the inspiration - reminding me of the fun of it

Thank you!

Thank you! One of the fun experiences that kept me grinding along was booking a flying lesson on a Toronto visit. Unforgettable. Think I need to book another little trip and give Canada some more of my tourist dollars 😂

That sounds about right. It's taken years longer than anticipated, with delights including a school going bankrupt, instructors leaving, airfield closing for renovations, and just struggling to schedule the time/motivation.
