This is the correct take. To contrast the Terance Tao piece from earlier (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46017972), AI research tools are increasingly useful if you're a competent researcher that can judge the output and detect BS. You can't, however, become a Terence Tao by asking AI to solve your homework.
So, in learning environments we might not have an option but to open the floodgates to AI use, but abandon most testing techniques that are not, more or less, pen and paper, in-person. Use AI as much as you want, but know that as a student you'll be answering tests armed only with your brain.
I do pity English teachers that have relied on essays to grade proficiency for hundreds of years. STEM fields has an easier way through this.
The answer is you put the top mathematician in the world to do it, easy peasy.
“The argument used some p-adic algebraic number theory which was overkill for this problem. I then spent about half an hour converting the proof by hand into a more elementary proof, which I presented on the site.”
What’s the exchange rate for 30 minutes of Tao’s brain time in regular researcher’s time? 90 days? A year?
The 4000-5000 series Nikon Coolscans sell for about the same price they did 20 years ago because they still produce excellent scans and there’s nothing quite as good for that $1000-$15000 price out there.
- DMSP satellites are up and measuring data
- These data will continue to be measured after Monday
- the government is discontinuing processing and public access to the data
- This will impact our capacity to predict hurricanes and monitor sea ice.
I agree the communication about this change of ownership has been far from ideal.
But issues with permissions (e.g. the user needing to disable/re-enable some macOS permission after an update, even if the cert doesn't change) are fairly common.

> Strangers on the internet will come across your little random story if it's public, and rather than blaming first-time readers for not understanding the context nor the voice of the author, maybe the author could adjust the article to provide the context or make the voice stronger/more obvious?
I'm not "blaming" anyone. I'm just pointing out that the commenters here are missing the point of the story because they don't understand the context, and that this is a fairly common phenomenon.
I think it's fine to tailor your writing to a community of like-minded readers rather than a first-time reader from here that is unlikely to come back.
> Honestly, I'm fine with not understanding everything from communities I don't generally hang-around, it's bound to happen at one point or another.
Me too, of course. It just makes a discussion without that context, i.e., what's happening here, detached from what the author meant with the post.
But for now, humans win.
