   Indeed! Same for classes with writing or other skills ... ChatGPT offers a chance to do what amounts to the best kind of learning anyway: do it live, do it in class, do it together and share and discuss and struggle. Passive learning can happen outside of class.

   Had some fun today tracking down the code issues in HALO data processing. These caused processing to fail on about 1% of all HALO data.Each nominal HALO data-taking run lasts 24 hours. Running for 10 years almost continuously, HALO has over 6000 runs. (Not all runs are nominal! 😉)But you can't argue with the up-time ... typically better than 98-99% annually! The goal i…

   Why I’m not worried about my students using ChatGPT http://status.hackerposse.com/url/24136 I agree with a great deal in this. I too had, years before ChatGPT, the ”why put 99% of your effort into stopping the 1% who might cheat” realization. Pour your effort into your teaching and mentoring. Cheters will fail by their own hand, now, soon, or later. They plant the s…

   I'm seeing lots of writing about how the tech layoffs demonstrate that "tech leaders hate labor". And I can't disagree with that.But at a basic level, tech leaders have always been incentivized to do one thing: create narratives that influence investors and other market forcers to assign greater value to the company. It's rarely about numbers; it's about a story that attr…

    The saga of the Chevy Volt in cold climate conditions continues!Today's adventure: the window on the passenger-side front door got stuck in the down position. This seems to be a result of the utter failure of the window regulator.Parts have to come from US. Mechanic hacked the door to keep the window up by clever use of vice grips in the panel (tape in cold weather leaves…

    A look back at the last week of weather, from the perspective of my weather station. What a week! We saw air temperatures down to -34C preceded by wind speeds up to 43 km/h. At one point, wind chills got to around -40C which … fun fact … is also equal to -40F. So I also got to see the equivalence point of the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales! Quite a week! https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/05bcfb4ed1526de80162396037434874bdd9f13e1c450680da33514fab05024e/view

    From NASASun https://twitter.com/NASASun on Twitter: So what’s the difference? A solar flare is a powerful burst of energy that can be spotted as a sudden flash of light. Fun fact: Traveling at the speed of light, the energy from flares can take 8 minutes to reach Earth! https://twitter.com/NASASun/status/1621920359887822848/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/8a2e7a58de8bf93188024a90846aa70c15254bafdd2c58c985ec9b134c3d5bd8/view

    From NASASun https://twitter.com/NASASun on Twitter: Eruptions on the Sun differ in how they look, how they travel, and even in the way they impact us here on Earth. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) both involve enormous explosions of energy – and at times may even occur simultaneously. https://twitter.com/NASASun/status/1621920326882934784/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/45afd5aa366efe666639b548edcb19ac7aba1b707db959824ba4973d03d8c370/view

Radon is a challenging background for dark matter detectors as it leads to nuclear recoil backgrounds that mimic the signal. https://twitter.com/NigelJTSmith/status/1621711578939949058/video/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/d908fd6ec5b00ef034a11b283bfb59a3204cfded12875ab466ad95aa638b0605/view

    From lip_pt https://twitter.com/lip_pt on Twitter: Estudá-los em pormenor e procurar semelhanças vai ajudar a compreender o Universo. A experiência SNO+ (@SNOLABscience) vai investigar se o neutrino é a sua própria anti-partícula, o que podia ajudar a explicar a assimetria entre matéria e antimatéria no Universo. https://twitter.com/lip_pt/status/1620765444373352448/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/da9af1f4286af7c948d4b8b619bafcf54b0520357647deca753a97147e83af6c/view
