I wonder why Firefox stopped providing its AI Overview yesterday. I found in late February Firefox released AI Controls but that doesn’t change anything about AI Overview. Surprisingly, it is back today! I just had to restart my computer for these frequent browser updates!

(hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)

@rastokke Now I see the context of this discussion. Thank you. Would parents be ok with having a math teacher who didn’t learn math? What’s the meaning of being a teacher?

[J. Mao @jjm09]

@rastokke I appreciate the thought and agree that education or any soft science needs a systems view to study complicated issues but I’d be curious if we have any solutions from math or hard science perspectives to improve human-related systems other than the positivist views.

1) Switch aggressive music to healing sounds

Aggressive music gets your adrenaline flowing—creating a state of agitation—which is detrimental in the long run.

You don’t want to be hyped up all the time.

Instead, switch to hand-pan music whilst working.

1) new data: better performance but worse learning when Ss use a GPT tutor--"students use it as a crutch" https://t.co/UOmPyuzWVj
2) @benjaminjriley is nodding--he warns here to resist the hyped promise of AI in edu https://t.co/d0OvnH2dUk
