The question there is then, how did the computer know which answer is correct? Did a human create a test dataset? Because the sample data in the problem description is not enough to get the right answer. That is, you can write a program that perfectly solves the sample data but doesn't actually solve the problem.

Americans HAVE SAID THAT THEY have been placing less importance on the value of a college education over the past 15 years, to the point that about a third (35%) now rate it as "very important." Forty percent think it is "fairly important," while 24% say it is "not too important."

No survey ever tells you what anyone believes. It only tells you what they SAY about the subject. It's an important distinction, and makes the survey even more damning.

It's a problem that shows up because managers don't know what their employees are doing.

The solution is to require managers to do actual work with 20% of their time (or even 10% might be enough). If they can't do it, then they aren't qualified to manage in the industry.

If there's no algorithm, there's no algorithm to game, and a lot of this awful goes away. See posts from those I choose to follow. Period

On Twitter, click on the tab that says "Following." Never click on the tab that says "For You." It's not for you, it's for advertisers.

Then you will only see things from people you follow.

You don't need to hire a prompt engineer. Just ask ChatGPT to write prompts for Copilot. If you run into trouble just ask Claude to clarify.

I have a Perl script that chains 17 different AI Agents together. It takes the output from one and puts it into the output of the other. At the suggestion of my psychologist (Abby), I combined the output of some of the agents together in a tree. Now it all flows together in and out like a mysterious river. Fortunately I'm paid in LOC. I doublespace.
