When I was in high school, there were some subjects you couldn't have paid me to study for, like math or government. I can't help but think about how different things might have been if I'd had something like NotebookLM available to help me care about and study for those subjects I actively avoided. It probably would have made me a much better student. NotebookLM is a solid AI research assistant, and it really shines as a tool for students. What sets it apart from other AI tools is that it does

Jeff Kaufman shared some data around contra dance attendance as a function of requirements on wearing surgical masks. He compares this data to survey data, which is a useful way to validate in both directions. I found the plot compelling for a different reason – depending on how we look at it, we can draw wildly different conclusions from it. On the one hand, if we draw boxes around consecutive pairs of dances, it’s fairly obvious that mask-optional dances are more popular. Tickmarks at the top

The final judgement, which was jointly agreed to by both parties, asserts that Daly knowingly sold devices such as the MIG Switch and MIG Dumper that "are pri
