Educating minds with generative AI
Abstract Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is rapidly entering education, framed as a tool for efficiency and personalization. In this Perspective, we argue this obscures a deeper transformation. Schools are cognitive ecologies in which tools and social practices actively shape learning. GenAI restructures this ecology, redistributing epistemic labour, consolidating pedagogical functions, and reorganizing how knowledge is accessed, produced, and evaluated.
411MANIA | Examining The Main Events If WrestleMania Had Always Been Two Nights
-In 2020 during a Worldwide Pandemic, the WWE made the decision to continue with WrestleMania but spread it over two nights. Since then, every WrestleMania has been two nights, which means many wrestlers have been given the chance to headline The Showcase of The Immortals whether it was night one or night two. That left me wondering, who would have closed Night One if WrestleMania had been two nights since that very first show? To me that sounds like something fun to explore and write about.

The Experience Machine
How our minds predict and shape reality. A grand new vision of cognitive science that explains how our minds build our worlds. For as long as we've studied the mind, we've believed that information flowing from our senses determines what our mind perceives. But as our understanding has advanced in the last few decades, a hugely powerful new view has flipped this assumption on its head. The brain is not a passive receiver, but an ever-active predictor.
What Generative AI Reveals About the Human Mind Original
Ideas January 5, 2024 7:00 AM EST Clark is Professor of Cognitive Philosophy at the University of Sussex. For more on the picture of human minds as action-based prediction machines, see Clark, A.

Experimenting with business models
Andy Clark explores how going private is not the only answer to improving business Two independent optometrists walk into a bar and one says to the other, ‘What are we going to do about the NHS?’ Their practices are both on the high street and about half a mile apart (let’s call them practice one and practice two) in a town of about 15,000 people whose income is about the UK average. They are both determined to offer the very best possible eye care.
Assignment overload
University students are often forced to juggle multiple responsibilities at once: school, work, sleep and self-care, to name a few. With so many duties piling up on their schedules, it can be near-impossible for students to keep up their grades while maintaining a job, a social life and their own wellbeing.
We need to rethink New Year’s resolutions
The way we think about New Year’s resolutions is making us miserable. Every year, millions of motivated people in the United States—about 44% of the population, according to a 2020 study published in PLOS One—seize on the new year as an opportunity to dramatically reshape their life. Every year, millions of people fail at that task. This isn’t a failure on their part, but rather a failure of how we think about self-improvement.
How safe are we on this city’s streets?
It feels like living in Portland has increasingly become less safe. Over the last few years gun violence in Portland has increased, making the city a less secure place to live. , part of the Keep Portland Safe PAC sponsored by the Portland Police Association, “there were 388 shootings in 2019, 891 shootings in 2020, and in just the first half of 2021, there have been 567 shootings.” How can we help but wonder what officials are doing about this?

Huddle recently published a commentary entitled, Vaccine Passports Are Not A Big Deal. In my view, nothing could be further from the truth. Whether you are in favour of them or not, make no mistake: Vaccine passports are a very big deal. They fundamentally alter the relationship between our government and its citizens.

They began their discussion by praising the manner in which our provincial leaders have handled our response to Covid-19 to date.

NoSQL within SQL Server
Firstly, this question is not about the difference between the 2. I am looking for some rational for something that really does not make sense (maybe because of lack of understanding or appreciation...) Where I work we have started a new project from scratch using MVC5, Entity framework 6 code first and SQL Server 2008. All was going well until we presented the structure, schema etc. to the systems architect.

The last theater in town
As far back as I can remember, history has always fascinated me. Though my specialty as an amateur historian has been military history, just about anything that occurred prior to my birth has had my undivided attention.

The hot mid-day sun beat down as the fellow nervously checked his Ruger Blackhawk single action revolver. Spinning the chamber and checking the hammer mechanism several times he then slipped the gun smoothly in and out of his holster sitting low on his hips. Adjusting his Stetson he looked up and said “I may be nervous, but I am ready”.
