DiscussionOur main finding is that using AI to complete tasks that require a new skill (i.e., knowledge of a new Pythonlibrary) reduces skill formation....The erosion of conceptual understanding, code reading, and debugging skills that we measured among participants using AI assistance suggests that workers acquiring new skills should be mindful of their reliance on AI during the learning process....Among participants who use AI, we find a stark divide in skill formation outcomes between high-scoring interaction patterns (65%-86% quiz score) vs low-scoring interaction patterns (24%-39% quiz score). The high scorers only asked AI conceptualquestions instead of code generation or asked for explanations to accompany generated code; these usagepatterns demonstrate a high level of cognitive engagement.Contrary to our initial hypothesis, we did not observe a significant performance boost in task completionin our main study....Our qualitative analysis reveals that our finding is largely due to the heterogeneity in how participants decide to use AI during the task....These contrasting patterns of AI usage suggest that accomplishing a task with new knowledge or skills does not necessarily lead to the same productive gains as tasks that require only existing knowledge.Together, our results suggest that the aggressive incorporation of AI into the workplace can have negative impacts on the professional development workers if they do not remain cognitatively sic engaged. Given time constraints and organizational pressures, junior developers or other professionals may rely on AI to complete tasks as fast as possible at the cost of real skill development. Furthermore, we found that the biggest difference in test scores is between the debugging questions. This suggests that as companies transition to more AI code writing with human supervision, humans may not possess the necessary skills to validate and debug AI-written code if their skill formation was inhibited by using AI in the first place.
The great thing about Lemmy is that if we don't like the moderation policies of an existing community, we can just make a new one with the same name on another instance. With blackjack and VPSs.
I wish people would get in the habit of posting the original source of the news instead of an article about the original source. This article doesn't add any useful commentary or insight beyond what is already stated in the original post.
It's a CM5 carrier board that breaks out some HDMI ports and other connectivity for commercial signage displays. Not very interesting for hobbyists I imagine.
When I posted it 12 days ago in another thread, it was at 2466hrs, so I've gained about 20hrs per day since then. That's at least temporally possible, but the overall stat is not, since there are only ~720hrs in a month. Puzzling!
I didn't know that, but I also noticed after posting that on the download page they describe it as "alpha+" so that would also disqualify it from your list.
Two crypto thieves decided to settle an argument over who was wealthier by screensharing as they transferred crypto between wallets to prove ownership. In doing so, one of them — known online as "Lick" — revealed a wallet address that crypto sleuth zachxbt quickly tied to the theft of around $90 million from US government wallets containing seized crypto assets, including a $20 million theft zachxbt reported in October 2024.
I bought the Stellaris "Starter Pack" when it was on sale for 9 EUR. It comes with 4 of the DLCs (out of 32 total).
I had great fun playing that game for over 200 hours, and didn't once feel like I was missing out by not buying more of the DLC.
It's a great game even if you just play the base game.
