Upholding Liberal Education Love of the world, not meaningless tests, must be the heart of liberal education.

β€œThe indispensability of a liberal education is the freedom from being tied to the zeitgeist of one’s age or situation to love what is true, good, and beautiful, and to be initiated into the world while cultivating a love for it.” www.liberalcurrents.com/upholding-li...

Why developers using AI are working longer hours Studies find AI helps developers release more softwareβ€”while logging longer hours and fixing problems after the code goes live

I am absolutely floored by this:

"AI helps developers release more software, but they're logging longer hours fixing problems after the code goes live."

Yes, bugs make it into production. If your tools make that problem worse, IT'S A BAD TOOL.

WALLACE: Why are we at war with Iran?

CHRIS MURPHY: Great question. The simplest explanation might be the one they gave 24 hours in that they've kind of tried to backtrack from since -- that Israel made us do it.

Interviewer: You might be able to catch some. It's all completely virtual. It's very simple, but it's also an overlay of physically based information that now exists on top of the real world.

Herzog: When two persons in search of a pokΓ©mon clash at the corner of Sunset and San Vicente is there violence? Is there murder?

Interviewer: They do fight, virtually.

Herzog: Physically, do they fight?

Interviewer: No-

Herzog: Do they bite each other's hands? Do they punch each other?
