This is also why video game armour sometimes has solid boots and gauntlets and not much else — to protect the body parts most often seen injured on returning warriors

This is a fascinating graph in terms of "is AI even useful"
* At basically no point on the graph does using AI get the student better (or worse) exam results than not; the AI is not useful for improving exam scores
* At around 55 minutes homework time students get better homework scores without affecting their exam scores
* Phoning it in on homework with AI lets students get high homework scores, but then they do poorly on the exam; presumably this compromises the teachers' and parents' (and students' own) ability to monitor progress, in addition to whatever direct effect the AI may have on learning

Interesting response: https://rlsutter.substack.com/p/the-technical-interview-isnt-a-measurement
Basically POSIWID, saying that the purpose of technical interviews isn't to hire the best or even good candidates or avoid hiring bad candidates, that the purpose is to make defensible decisions rather than good ones

Fun fact, Wilhoit's law was not formulated by Wilhoit but by another person of the same name

It doesn't help that many of the major social media platforms are owned and/or run by people who are themselves pretty terrible, and then the fish rots from the head
(which is a result of systemic and/or larger forces)

I guess at least Western Australia has experience with uncontrolled re-entry of disused space hardware

That's pretty much what this is? Or, at least, it's multiplying by 0xe0000000000000001/25, which is effectively 1/25?

> Same goes for writing to GMail - people email me on my private server, but I wouldn’t say that they are “users” of my server.
Except Gmail is basically the reason people can't run their own mail servers any more - Gmail blackholes email from them if they do
