I feel like interacting with and producing work via AI agents is giving me insight into what it must be like to be a PhD supervisor.

"As Americans celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, it is worth reflecting on the institutions that have facilitated the endurance of that independence. You can find no better guide to that reflection than The Federalist."

New York City, we have no excuse to be bored this summer. The map at nyc.gov/summer is full of free and affordable stuff to do -- sports, music, arts, movies, video games and more -- in every borough.
The city is your backyard. Get out there and enjoy it.
Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do?
Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?
Nyc.gov/summer is a map of free and affordable things to do this summer that we made just for you.
Because public programs mean nothing if you don't know how to access them.

I've been having fun as a side project vibe-coding a jukebox on top of my digital music collection. An overview:
11,674 tracks, 90 countries, mostly lossless.
Roots reggae, ECM/fusion jazz, conscious hip-hop, and confessional singer-songwriters doing most of the heavy lifting.
Two-thirds instrumental. Sizzla and ECM Records lead the count.
ALT The vinyl-sun is your warm core, the cool dots scattered around it are the 90-country reach, and the equalizer reads cool-to-warm left to right like the energy creeping up.

Can AI replace human counselors?
Large RCT (n=41K) comparing an AI chatbot vs. trained human counselors to motivate high school seniors toward teaching careers.
Summary: If anything, bots outperformed humans at a smaller cost and reduced human quality heterogeneity.
