#Delhi #India

In summer, classrooms turn into spaces of physical strain — headaches, dehydration, nosebleeds and even fainting are no longer unusual. By winter, the same children are breathing air that limits stamina and attention. Both situations are being treated as seasonal disruptions.

“A study that claimed OpenAI’s ChatGPT can positively impact student learning has been retracted nearly one year after publication. The journal publisher, Springer Nature, cited “discrepancies” in the analysis and a lack of confidence in the conclusions—but not before the paper racked up hundreds of citations and made the rounds on social media.”

Worlds of IF (December 1965)

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

An absolute classic, which I re-read recently. Does it stand up? I'll say … mostly?

We need Lin-Manual Miranda to do a rap version, just saying.
