    AI is exacerbating the trend of colleges handing out too many A's, Axios' Josephine Walker reports.

    I can't emphasize enough how important it is to push people in educational setting. AI has good uses in education but AI will never tell you that you're fucking up and need to work smarter and harder. Failing a lab-based course as an undergrad was the singular most important event in my...

    AI is exacerbating the trend of colleges handing out too many A's, Axios' Josephine Walker reports.

    Right. I'm fortunate to be a professor in a field that is very much lab-based, human anatomy. My undergrads are not allowed to use devices at all in lab given we work with donated anatomical remains (i.e., cadavers), and for my graduate and professional students, AI is not useful in gross...

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    The RTX 4090 I bought in early 2023 from Best Buy for $1,540 ($1,600 MSRP minus 10% coupon). It was my first flagship GPU, then I sold it in early 2025 for $2,000, which covered the cost of my RTX 5090. I expect the 5090 will run AAA titles at 4k resolution for another five-six years.
