Attached: 1 image In a move that surprises absolutely noone, GitHub now requires users to login in order to browse public repositories (including open source projects). After a few (~10) requests, you get blocked (I can confirm). In order to fight AI scrapers, I guess. So, GitHub decided to blanket-limit access to open source projects as a defense against the very scourge that they(r parent company) unleashed on the world.

If you're in NorCal & like sushi, check out Tomisushi.
It's quite good - and authentic - especially for the price. Found myself surprised. [Japanese sushi & sake snob approved]

Sonnet 069 - LXIX
Those parts of thee that the world's eye doth view
Want nothing that the thought of hearts can mend;
All tongues, the voice of souls, give thee that due,
Uttering bare truth, even so as foes commend.
Thy outward thus with outward praise is crown'd;
But those same tongues, that give thee so thine own,
In other accents do this praise confound
By seeing farther than the eye hath shown.
They look into the beauty of t…

AI Tutors vs. Tenacious Myths: Evidence from Personalised Dialogue Interventions in Education
Misconceptions in psychology and education persist despite clear contradictory evidence, resisting traditional correction methods. This study investigated whether personalised AI dialogue could effectively correct these stubborn beliefs.

However, so far none of them has received convincing evidence. This is probably why new hypotheses appear almost every year, not only in the mass-media, but also in scientific literature. At the same time, any hypothesis should not contradict the known facts about the event. Unfortunately, the authors of new hypoth…
