@courtneyknill You probably won't use most of these. If you ask for 1-5 amazing knives individually, you're more likely to get them, and you'll have less clutter.

- Chef's knife
- Pairing knife
- Bread knife

Opus is the hot girl who is secretly toxic. Codex is the cute friend you weren't into at first but now feels like wife material.

11yo worked all week painting this for Moonrise Market Day. Super proud of him.

Speed of error correction is a massively underrated feature of AI. Sure, it makes a ton of mistakes. But you see those mistakes in minutes instead of days, and AI can fix them just as fast.

[Chris Turner @_cturner]

Just downloaded and very excited to try it.

In case you're looking for feedback, I would love to see the product in action before agreeing to the trial. I don't need to use it for free, I just literally want to see it and get a feel for how it works before the trial. Then the trial is basically making sure I like it before agreeing to a subscription.

Hope this helps. Looks beautiful.

The very idea of cheating with chatbots implies school is a game to be won, where the objective is test scores and rank advancement.

MacKenzie isn't wrong to think this way. School IS a game, and to the extent kids are playing that game, it makes sense to help them win (fairly).

But when school is over, and the incentive to cheat is gone, adults naturally flock to tools that help them learn and solve problems in the real world - like chatbots, YouTube videos, and books.

So yes, we should help kids win the game of school. But we should also question the game itself and ask if there are better objectives.

[MacKenzie Price @mackenzieprice]

We do not use a chatbot interface in our schools for academics, and here’s the reason: give a kid a chatbot, and they will cheat with it.

As much as we’d love to imagine they’re going to get on ChatGPT and engage in a Socratic discussion, they don’t. They copy the question and paste, “What’s the answer?”

@Austen @Conley76 Heavy draw around the tree and thread the bunkers. Lay up if you don't feel like going for it. Super fun

Reed Hastings on building systems for homeschoolers:

[Palmer Luckey @PalmerLuckey]

One of the reasons homeschooled kids have superior educational outcomes is avoiding the slow-progress-across-all-subjects method public schools impose on every student, no matter how they learn.

The evaluation/testing you are talking about would almost certainly prohibit that sort of tailored education, especially since they would be designed and administered by a system that wants to eliminate homeschooling in almost all cases.

Sagrada Familia is still the most beautiful man-made thing I've ever experienced in person. I literally teared up when the doors opened.

[joshpuckett @joshpuckett]

If you are a fan of faith, architecture, or even just beauty itself, you must visit la Sagrada Família in the afternoon light.

An absolute masterpiece.

Humane means "compassionate", not "human", so I think it still works. But I'm with you that there is probably a better word for it. And "slaughter" sounds a bit brutalist, so it contradicts the vibe of humane.

Harvest feels better than slaughter. As in, "the farmer harvested the cows and sold them to the local grocer".

In a perfect world, harvest would be a stand in for both humane and slaughter, and slaughter would be reserved for killing animals inhumanely, like in factory farming

[Chris Turner @_cturner]

Probably bait, but I’ll bite:

1. Animals can be raised humanely and given a good life.

2. Those animals can be humanely slaughtered and sold as meat to thoughtful consumers.

3. The purchase of that meat is the only reason those animals were given that good life in the first place.

4. This transaction creates sustainable livelihoods for farmers and their families.

5. Those farmers are good citizens who care about animals, people, and their communities.

6. Meat is good for people and delicious. It’s the basis of countless traditions shared around the dinner table.

7. Humans are omnivorous. Yes, we can decide not to be, but our natural state is omnivore. Enslaving other humans, by comparison, is not our natural state.

8. Most animals, like humans, would choose a good life that ends in certain death over no life at all.

9. Factory farming is different in almost every important way. It’s a better and more worthy enemy, but still not comparable to human slavery.

10. I think most people know these things deep down, but we’re taught to hate ourselves and the natural choices we make that make us happy.

[Aella @Aella_Girl]

a great test of "would you have been chill with owning slaves, if you'd been born into a slave-owning family" is whether or not you're vegetarian today

In honor of David Attenborough turning 100 years old, here’s a behind-the-scenes clip of him recording narration for a new documentary. 100 years old and still going strong.

@MitraHispana Michelangelo never in his life was given an assignment the outcome of which would affect no one and serve no purpose other than to satisfy a credentialing requirement.

@elonmusk @beffjezos You can use X the same way Apple used i without changing the (already amazing) company name.

[Chris Turner @_cturner]

@ggraham Yes if they have been together for at least a year and the boyfriend is husband material. No otherwise.
