  1. If New England states were cryptids… 😂

    They may be mysterious, but their personalities are pretty easy to spot.Which one did I get the most accurate? And which state needs a part 2? https://www.instagram.com/p/DctnOLoFNLC/?igsi=MW50dTh0ajUxOXBmaQ==

  4. Brown professor says students used #AI to cheat — and made this ‘very basic strategic mistake’

    Serrano knew something was “fishy” when several tests came back with an identical circuitous answer to a mathematical question, instead of the simpler response it warranted. His suspicions were piqued when he saw the grade distribution and confirmed when a teaching assistant fed the question through ChatGPT, which solved the problem the same way.

    Among the 86 students in “Welfare Economics and Social Choice Theory,” the average score on the midterm was 96, and nearly half of the students earned a perfect 100. In previous years, the average midterm grade ranged from 65 to 80.

    If his students’ first error in judgment was trying to game a game theorist, their second was assuming no one else would think to do the same — “a very basic strategic mistake”

  7. Thoughts on New England Identities

    Preamble

    novaTopFlex has long believed that the New England states are the most utopian of the entire United States, including both Northern and Southern New England regions. While Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island are often the primary sources of interest, the States of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine are also identified as secondary sources of interest. Unlike much of the remainder of the United States, New England contains a sense of acceptance and a highly intellectual scene […]

  8. OMG, I love everything about this door knocker! I love the riff on its New England/RI setting, I love the brass texture next to the wooden door, I love the warm brown next to the vibrant yellow.

    Anyone see the Darth Vader-like face?
