@DavidGoldfield No I don't think it says that. Sometimes even some Americans mispronounce that word to my ears anyway. Where I had an issue was when we got to the bridge onward. Despite my original document having no spelling errors, the AI tool insisted on singing, Tors for Windows. That tune was too good to lose, so I simply edited it and substituted the T sound for a J. Strange it did that, but AI can do interesting things.

Here's my advice on how to design your course to be more ADHD-friendly. Many of these tips will help students regardless of #ADHD diagnosis: scaffolding large projects and being abundantly consistent about instructions.
Learning environments are often not created with ADHD learners in mind; struggles with working memory, regulating attention, and executive functions create different challenges for us. Making your...
Why should it be up to the teacher to break large projects into chunks? Isn't that a skill that the student will need to learn to do for themselves when they want to take on a large project in the workplace?
@matt 1) Having assistance breaking large projects into smaller tasks is something that ADHD people can often receive as workplace accommodations, so this is an acknowledged problem in the work world rather than something exclusively expected of individual employees themselves. (See askjan.org/disabilities/Attent… as an example.) Workplaces, like many instructors, are invested enough in people's success that they will work with them to help make it happen.
2) Just like any other skill, most learners will acquire the ability to break things down into smaller chunks if they have it explicitly modeled for them, rather than absorbing it through osmosis.
3) Almost all learners—ADHD or otherwise—will produce work that's more what the instructor has in mind if they receive some degree of formative feedback along the way. Chunking projects helps this feedback be more manageable / useful for everyone.
@matt Why should it be up to the student to learn how to do this without guidance? Isn't that a skill that a teacher could scaffold and explicitly teach them so the process and expectations are clear? Isn't managing a project something *managers *in a workplace should do for/with their reports and teams?
@belehaa Because employers want people who can manage themselves. Less overhead. We may disagree about whether that's reasonable (I personally think it is), but surely it's important to set up students for success in the world as it is.
@matt Validating students' needs and supporting them as they learn will set them up for success far better than leaving them to struggle. Abandoning people to figure it out on their own because "everyone else" can do it is ableist
@matt @belehaa Setting students up for success in the world "as it is" means setting them up for burnout and mental health issues including a higher risk of suicide.
How about we create learning and working environments that support everyone's talents and allow everybody to thrive?
@PacificNic @KitMuse @belehaa I don't believe either of those things. But I wonder if ADHD requires accommodations from teachers, employers, etc., or if it only requires the people who have it to know how to work around their own disability.
I'm legally blind. I understand why a sensory disability requires external accommodations. I just wonder if the same applies to ADHD. I should probably go off and learn more about this on my own before I say anything more.
@matt @PacificNic @belehaa I appreciate your willingness to learn. Speaking only as someone who wasn't diagnosed until they were 48 and in the final semester of a dual major bachelor's (I'm now a graduate student), learning that I was ADHD changed me from believing I was broken to someone whose mind worked differently. It literally facilitated the healing journey I'm on, moving it from fumbling around feeling like I was broken by trauma to understanding why it happened.
@matt @belehaa Employers also want people with functioning vision, hearing and movement. Every disability – be it blindless, deafness or ADHD – puts demands on employers. What you are saying implicitly is that disabled people have no place in the working world.
@matt Why should it be up to the teacher to teach how to write a project proposal, how to evaluate a project's success, how to work as part of a team? Aren't these skills that the student will need to learn to do for themselves when they want to take on a large project in the workplace?
Read more about scaffolding as an educational term. It's about gradually removing support over time so that the students work independently eventually rather than chuck them off the deep end and see who swims.
@matt No worries. It's a term with a specific meaning in education. There's a range of strategies between "chuck them off the deep end and see who swims" and scaffolding, but scaffolding generally leads to a greater number of successful students and is more equitable, in my opinion.

This has been out for nine months already, and the feedback has been very positive. With airplay on BBC 6 music among other stations, it's garnered quite a lot of attention in the media. The track is called 'Deusa' and is one of my absolute favourite things to have made in a while. I imagine hearing this as you walk down the street, coming out of a restaurant, clothes or shoe shop or in someone's car on a Friday night. Roberta Silva is a fantastic Brazilian-Portuguese singer that lives in London. I first heard her at a gig and when I told Cian (aka Bruk Rogers) about her after he wanted us to find a singer, said she'd be the absolute best fit for the job, which she is.

Wyciek danych nie jest udostępnieniem danych - tak wynika z ostatniego wyroku Wojewódzkiego Sądu Administracyjnego w Warszawie.
Pewna spółka, zajmująca się obsługą płacową, została zaatakowana przez ransomware. W rezultacie dane jednej z firm (kontrahenta spółki) zostały zaszyfrowane. Poszkodowana w ten sposób firma zwróciła się ze skargą do Prezesa #UODO.
Organ nadzorczy stwierdził jednak, że odpowiedzialność za naruszenie ponosi... firma, która (zdaniem PUODO) udostępniła dane osobie atakującej i to właśnie ona została ukarana upomnieniem.
Decyzja organu została zaskarżona. Wojewódzki Sąd Administracyjny w orzeczeniu z 25 lipca 2024 r. (sygn. akt II SA/Wa 2430/23) przyznał rację firmie. Wskazano w szczególności, że Prezes UODO nie wykazał, by w sprawie doszło do udostępnienia danych osobowych.
Firma, która zapłaciła za to, by administrowane przez nią dane osobowe były właściwie chronione, nie może odpowiadać za ich wyciek w konsekwencji ataku hakerskiego - orzekł w czwartek Wojewódzki Sąd Administracyjny w Warszawie.
V eDokladech je chyba, která bude brzy opravena. Omlouváme se.
Nejedná se o něco bezprostředně zneužitelného, ale být to tam nemá. Z mého pohledu se jedná o šlendrián programátorů a je ostuda že nebyl odhalen dřív.
Na Lupe se Martin Mesrsmid vyjadroval k problemum eDokladu. Co se stalo tak nejak vime. Jako novinka padla otazka: "Planujete zverejnit eDoklady jako open source?" Na cez jednoznacne odpovedel:
Velmi by nám to zkomplikovalo situaci.

From EYB re #AsmaKhan's new book, #flavour [My comments are in square brackets.] It sounds interesting, especially as I have #MasalaLab by #KrishAshok on my desk at the moment.
Asma Khan, creator of Darjeeling Express in London, thinks that the idea of what Indian people eat at home is so wrong. “No one in India eats naan at home,” she says. “You need a tandoor. Your bloody house would catch fire. People’s idea of what we eat is so warped.”
Her two #cookbooks focus on Indian home cooking. Her upcoming book, Flavour – Discover the Elements Behind Delicious Indian Cookery, is different.
It is structured around the six core #ayurvedic tastes: Tangy, Bitter, Hot, Sweet, Sour, and Salty and how they correlate to the six seasons in Bengal. [These aren't actually the 6 Ayurveda tastes, which are Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Pungent, Astringent.]
This book aims to illuminate Indian cookery by giving the foundations needed to build balanced flavours, dishes and sumptuous feasts. [All from a Bengali perspective, of course. Each region in Indian has very different food and approaches.]
With core techniques including roasting, grinding and tempering spices, how to cook with ghee, chillies, and onions, and what to add and when to re-balance flavours in a dish, Flavour will have home cooks applying fundamental processes intuitively to their cooking of Indian [Bengali] food.
According to #NS, people on the go are not used to returning deposited bottles at the stations so it makes no sense to deploy more reverse vending machines there.
How come that often three out of four machines at Amsterdam Centraal are full? And what would it then look like if people were used to returning bottles at the station?

I have been travelling the past few weeks, and have not yet had the time to fully digest the recent announcement by Deepmind of how their two new #IMO problem solver engines, AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry2, were able to between them solve 4 of the 6 problems at the most recent International Mathematical Olympiad: deepmind.google/discover/blog/… . But I can record some preliminary impressions.
1. This is great work, shifting once again our expectations of which benchmark challenges are within reach of either #AI-assisted or fully autonomous methods. For instance, IMO level geometry problems are now effectively a solved problem for specialized AI tools; and it seems now that IMO problems that can be readily formalized and with formal proofs that can be located through a reinforcement learning process are now at least somewhat amenable to AI attacks (though currently requiring genuinely significant amounts of compute per problem, and human assistance on the formalization side).
2. There may be side benefits of this approach into making formal mathematics easier to automate, which could in turn facilitate mathematical research methods that contain formal components. In particular, the database of formal proofs generated by this effort could be a useful resource if shared more openly.
3. The approach (based more on reinforcement learning than large language models, somewhat in the spirit of AlphaGo, and heavily emphasizing formal methods) is clever, and makes sense in retrospect. As per the "AI effect" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effec… , once explained, it does not "feel" like an exhibition of human-like intelligence; but it is still an expansion of the capability of our suite of AI-assisted problem solving tools.
"We estimate that the decline in Nuclear power Plants caused by Chernobyl led to the loss of approximately 141 million expected life years in the U.S., 33 in the U.K. and 318 million globally".
So, for the slow kids, let’s spell this out: 1. Chernobyl happened 2. Many countries close down nuclear or no longer build it 3. Instead fossil fuel plants get built 4. Air pollution is spiking 5. 318 million life years are lost globally (thus far)
