New study on the effects of LLM use (in this case on essay writing):
Quote:
"LLM users also struggled to accurately quote their own work. While LLMs offer immediate convenience, our findings highlight potential cognitive costs. Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning."
The interesting thing is: People who used search engines (to find sources etc) did not show similar issues. This is an important antidote against the belief that LLM-based tools are just like search engines. Which they are not. They are massively degrading their users' mental abilities and development. Which is why these systems have absolutely no place even _near_ any school or university.

This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and Brain-only (no tools). Each completed three sessions under the same condition.arXiv.org
If It's To Be War With Iran, Let It Be The War That Nobody Comes To
C. #Johnstone
Let’s make this clear: if the #US bombs #Iran, Iran will kill US military personnel in response. If this happens, it will not be Iran’s fault that those military personnel died. It will be Trump’s fault. It will be the fault of everyone whose decisions led to the attack which resulted in their deaths.
And they will have died for nothing.
Anyone who dies in a war with Iran will have died for nothing.
They will not have died fighting for anyone’s freedom. They will not have died protecting their country.
The warmongers and propagandists will try to spin their deaths in this way, but they will be lying.
The bereaved parents and partners of those who died will also try to frame their deaths in this way, but they will only be fooling themselves, because the truth will be too painful to bear.
And the truth is that everyone who dies in such a war will have died because a few powerful people made some extremely evil decisions out of their own self-interest. And for no other reason.
Do NOT join the US military. Do NOT join the militaries of any nation which normally participates in America’s wars. If you are in those militaries, you should get out by any means necessary, as quickly as possible. If further on down the track there is a draft for a war with Iran, you should dodge the draft. Because otherwise you will be throwing yourself into a war with one of the world’s most formidable militaries, for nothing.
If you fight in such a war, you will be fighting for nothing.
If you die in such a war, you will die for nothing.
If you lose your limbs in such a war, you will lose your limbs for nothing.
If you suffer permanent brain damage in such a war, you will lose your mind for nothing.
Even if you manage to survive such a war with your body and brain intact, you will live the rest of your life with the knowledge that you killed human beings for nothing.
There’s a stanza from Carl Sandburg’s “The People, Yes” which has been bubbling around in my consciousness a lot lately:
The little girl saw her first troop parade and asked,
‘What are those?’
‘Soldiers.’
‘What are soldiers?’
‘They are for war. They fight and each tries to kill as many of the other side as he can.’
The girl held still and studied.
‘Do you know . . . I know something?’
‘Yes, what is it you know?’
‘Sometime they’ll give a war and nobody will come.’
If the US directly attacks Iran — and it’s looking increasingly likely that it will — Iran can be expected to kill many US soldiers with powerful attacks on the US military bases that are within striking range of its missiles. If that happens, the US can be expected to launch a full-scale regime change war on Iran.
If that’s to be, then let this be the war that nobody comes to. Because the alternative is to fight and die in a stupid war waged by evil people, for nothing.

I think you do the best you can if you are legitimately trying.
And kids need to hear "I'm sorry" from their parents once in awhile, even when younger.
It'll help them when they're older with their kids, they'll understand your frustrations, sacrifices and efforts.

Yes. I have always had an "I'm sorry" policy with my kids.

"Intelligent men never make this journey during the three months when the Dahur is at full strength for then it is a gamble…For these ninety days the sea is closed and he who would cross it deserves to be unhappy. From the agony of loneliness and remorse, so much anxiety and suffering.“

Las autoridades de Israel han denunciado este lunes la "segregación" impuesta por parte del Gobierno francés al ocultar los productos armamentísticos israelíes en el marco del Salón Internacional de la Aeronáutica y el Espacio que se está celebrando …Redacción HuffPost (El HuffPost)
🟢 About 30 hours ago, Iranian intelligence managed to establish the attack pattern of Mossad and get an important lead. This led to the discovery of several underground workshops for the production of attack drones right in Tehran. These kamikaze drones and swarms of small drones make up 80% of the entire arsenal of strike weapons used by the Zionist regime in recent days. This was not known before, and now it is clear why the enemy's strikes were so painful - the attack was coming from within.
🟢 The destruction in Tehran and Isfahan is the result of these hidden workshops. According to the latest data, 90% of the impact points and destruction are not related to external invasion, but to operations organized from the country's own territory. Israel was able to penetrate deeply using its intelligence channels and support inside, but now the exposure and cleansing phase has begun. With the capture of sabotage groups and the closure of production facilities, the level of danger will decrease sharply, and attacks inside Iran will decrease by at least 80%.
🟢 Many are asking why Kermanshah and Tabriz were hit. The answer is simple: there are still those in the government who believe in “US guarantees.” They once believed Washington when it came to Gaza and the so-called control over Israel. Now history is repeating itself: the illusion of security has once again turned into tragedy. However, Iran is drawing conclusions.
🟢 As for the power of the Israeli Air Force, it is overrated. After air defense systems in the west of the country shot down several advanced fighters, no F-35 dares to approach Iranian airspace anymore. All strikes are carried out either by satellite systems and coordination with local agents, or through internal sabotage channels
🟢 The death of IRGC commanders is not a demonstration of the enemy's strength, but the result of internal security failures. You cannot attribute to the enemy something that was the result of an internal shortcoming. But this is precisely why Iran is now acting with restraint and caution. The main goal is to eliminate internal workshops in order to completely paralyze the attacks. And it is only a matter of time.
🟢 Once this stage is over, Israel will be left without its main trump card – and then it will be Iran’s turn to speak in a language that the enemy actually understands. Israel is afraid of an open confrontation, and we can already see how it is using all its resources – because it realizes that all it has is time. And time is working against it.
🟢 The leadership of the operation has long since passed from the hands of the National Security Council directly to the headquarters of the Supreme Leader and the military command. The war is now being waged precisely, cold-bloodedly and without compromise. Iran has an arsenal of ballistic missiles hidden deep underground. Not a single enemy attack has reached them.
🟢 Let us repeat once again: Israel started it. But Iran will finish it.
🟢 And he will finish it with calculation, dignity and restrained but crushing force.
