Wow, amazing response by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to raise money for the family of the shooter. While what he did was horrendous, his family is also suffering, especially his son who needs expensive medical care. givesendgo.com/helptheSanford…

<1> New article! Many studies ask, "would you like to earn a badge?" but people don't know what they are. We talked to students who HAD earned a badge about whether they'd want more. Not surprising, we found 2 reasons they'd want 'em: 1) because boss values it or 2) they love it

<2>This isn't surprising of course...except that apparently it's news to most universities which create badges the UNIV wants instead of either asking employers or students what they want. Consequently, many badge programs fall flat. tandfonline.com/eprint/YAXBMRM…

Grok 4 is the first time, in my experience, that an AI has been able to solve difficult, real-world engineering questions where the answers cannot be found anywhere on the Internet or in books. And it will get much better.
