Just curious, is there a consolidated list of all these "education" tips?
Intuitively I understand this due to how context windows work and you're looking to increase cache hits, has Anthropic tried compact/summarise on idle as a configurable option? Seems to have decent tradeoffs + education in a setting.
I can. Australian governments of both partisan persuasions have always had an authoritarian streak. This sort of thing has always been naturally attractive to them.
Any time the powers want to do something to help out Fat Cats and top end companies with something they don't like happening, any action thrust out, the excuse it's always "for the children" or "think of the children."
Make no mistake social media as it was with scraping so hard kids bled, was bad for children. Facebook ignored the lessons learned from the 90s with TMI (too much information) and in fact some people who used a lot of yahoo mailing groups from that time might still recall the big sweep that occurred. It came to pass that some people still ignored Facebook rules and used pseudonyms - you know just in case and in Australia this became a big big thing back a few years ago with a different govt running the show here with a prominent pro Trump (sycophantic) leader ruling the roost. maube hours after Trump got roasted by an anonymous comment, the crew in Australia were pushing to require ID to access the internet ... a person was appointed to address anonymous accounts ... and in the end after the govt changed she was also tasked to oversee social media.
One might think that age limiting a site it would force ID checks, however other smarter people know that most social media sites, especially the ones there were scraping hard and targeting young teens dieting and other BS young teens seem to susceptible to, have the capacity to guess fairly accurately if the account holder is a youngster. Right now these companies are saying nah these algorithms are dumb and the govt can't do a thing ... right up to the point when the present govt decides to start fining for every account that should not be there and or just offering bounties to the average Joe Jill public [and not businesses or those tooled up with A.I. help] There's a phase in time going now at the moment -- none of the big tools out there have figured out how bureaucracy works in Australia.
When replying should I care content such as what in the above comment is something facebook fanboys will find it very upsetting ... should I write with more sensitivity and feeling in mind ... or would it not matter - the truth would still hurt.
Bank refused to provide reasons - even after a formal complaint was raised with them.
We are not the only one. I found other people online experiencing the same issue. It is hard to tell how wide-spread this is but it is strange to say the least.
It is horrendous - it seems that oral verification is required to test pupils skills - this does not scale. People not using LLMs to finish assignments are getting penalized by lower grades, people using llms to finish assignmnets learn nothing.
Why would oral verification be needed? Hand-written answers on paper in a proctored classroom should still work fine. That was the way most verification worked when I was in school, and still is the most used verification method used currently around me.
Homework assignments are harder, but those were always a bit difficult for teachers. It's not like cheating was invented by Gen Z...
Gen Z definitely didn’t invent cheating, but LLMs brought qualitative difference and scale. That changes the properties of the system.
During my university most courses had a good mixture of take-home assignments/projects and in-class exams. Yes, people could always cheat either through plagiarism (usually easily caught) or at the extreme by getting someone else to do the work (which I have never personally seen).
Anecdotal data around me shows:
* outright paper/assignment generation via LLM
* using chatGPT as a “professor” proofreading and polishing course work before submission (arguably good use but depends on the personal effort)
* avoiding reading by asking chatGPT for summaries
* using chatGPT to help explain various concepts (this is a good example of using LLMs as a source for learning…accepting that occasionally they can lie)
In a small classroom where a good teacher-student interaction happens, I guess it’s easier to catch people cheating. But some universities (maybe most) have massive classes where a professor may never have an actual conversation with some students. That context makes cheating harder to detect.
I accept my outlook on this may be a bit bleaker (hopefully), but saying it’s business as usual is at the other extreme.
My college classes usually had one offline written test per quarter, and about half the classes had an assignment with them. I can see how those would be easier to cheat on now, though they were already hardly cheat-free. (Not just plagiarism, also free-riding on group assignments for example.) The written examinations carried the heaviest load precisely because of that.
Offline written tests solve the issue quite well. They scale well too. At least as far as assignments do.
People saying that oral examinations are the last bastion of cheat-free examinations are really over-stating the case.

Probably most yeah. At least it was my experience.
