One interesting scenario is where the Sun, Jupiter, and another object are the three bodies in question. I think we could put an object at the L4 or L5 point of Jupiter's orbit (see the Trojans) and have it be stable. How large could this object be? Would an Earth-sized object be stable there? If so, how close would a passing star have to be to disturb that stability?

So did the Norwegian Wealth fund do the biggest flex of all, by investing in saving big Amazon rain forest trees?

If a compound will help with chemotherapy pain, won't it help w other pain? Is there something special w chemo pain?

> We should also be realistic and revolutionary, adopting this tried-and-tested principle – what I call “teach both, test both” – for AI now. Every subject, from history to English literature, should be divided in two: teach students to use AI in one part, teach students to flourish without it in the other – and, crucially, examine both.

I like this approach

I've seen JuliaHub taking credit for all of Julia before. I don't think there's anything new in this article

It’s a stealth ad for Dyad.

Makes me think of the short story "With friends like these..." by Alan Dean Foster, in which one aspect of the story has people on a future Earth living what appears externally to be a very simple (maybe hunter-gatherer) lifestyle, while still having (hidden) powerful tech

In Stephenson's "Diamond Age", an AI tutor-in-a-book helps a girl learn. Some [1] have suggested that current AI already can function like this book, which the study above contradicts. So is the problem that current AI needs to improve as a tutor, or is the model of using an AI as a tutor flawed?

This particular system is predicated on people actually doing the homework.

There were threats on 'cheating', but the system is failing at detecting the new 'cheating' mechanism.

I use quotes because what is being cheated at is the certification, not education. Mixing them into the same pipeline was always a mistake.

BTW: A tutor is a person. An AI is a search engine.

I am a fan of the NBA, but if LeBron and other stars start to regularly do hidden deals to avoid the salary cap, I'll drop it

For context, Kawhi Leonard has been accused [1] of salary cap circumvention. When I saw this article, I thought it was evidence of similar shady stuff by LeBron
