This AI Feedback for #Moodle assignments plugin looks interesting. I have installed it and it appears to do what I would expect.

Nothing requires us to cede autonomy to our freakishly talented LLM assistants. We direct their efforts, and they learn from us. As we do the work they wield tools on our behalf. We can, if we choose, learn from them how best to use those tools, even as we often delegate the use to them.

🐾🇦🇺 The new #meerkat babies at #Melbourne #Zoo have ventured into the outdoor world for the first time.
Spend 10 uninterrupted minutes with these fuzzy, wobbly pups as they nose around their enclosure. After falling, climbing, and leaning on each other, they return to a cozy family pile to nurse and cuddle.

My partner has just received “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain” for her birthday so, after this morning’s hike, we sat down to do the introductory exercises to establish our ‘drawing age,’ referred to in the book as the age at which we probably gave up drawing! It was good fun #learning #drawing #NeverTooLate

PSA
To whomever this may concern and to get you a break from the international news:
Your daily driver Windows computer is not obsolete after October 13th 2026. And above all it is NOT E-waste.
Your Apple computer is not E-waste if Tim Cook says so.
Chances are that even the beige DELL tower from 2003, which is currently holding the barn door open, is not obsolete.
And if you have an old/broken computer: please sell or donate it. If nothing else, someone can learn to solder working on it.
Contact your local IT nerd for further questions. The one with an Atari or Amiga T-shirt. Someone you know will know one.
You can also contact IT nerds here in the fediverse. Almost all of us are here.

Super Fun für Sprach-Nerds, Weird Fiction-Fans und alle, die gerne neue Sachen lernen: Diese Geschichte wird jeden Absatz 100 Jahre älter (& gruseliger), am Schluss sind wir um 1.000 sprachlich angelangt. Bis wann könnt Ihr verstehen, was da steht? Danach erklärt ein Sprachhistoriker die Veränderungen, die ihr da rückwärts mitgemacht habt.

Gemeinsam Computerdinge lernen? Rätsel kreativ lösen? Komm in #Wien zur ersten #FLINTA*-Edition vom C3WTF!
What (the F)?
Chaos Computer Club Wien (=C3W) + Capture the Flag (=CTF = Rätsel lösen) = C3WTF
Gemeinsam lösen wir kreative in kleinen Gruppen techniknahe Rätsel. Das sind Challenges aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen:
Sicherheitslücken auf Websiten finden (ethisches Hacken)?
Spielerisch in der Kommandozeile arbeiten und dazulernen?
Investigative Nachforschungen anhand von frei zugänglichen Quellen (OSINT)?
Schauen was im Netzwerk herumgeschickt wird? Wo da vielleicht wer unerlaubt sich eingeschleust hat?
Oder andere Rätsel auf die du sonst noch Lust hast? Klar, probieren wir es gemeinsam aus!
Wann?
Sa, 14. März ab 15 Uhr - FLINTA*-Edition
Sa, 11. April ab 15 Uhr - FLINTA*-Edition
Fr, 8. Mai ab 16 Uhr - open for all genders
Wo?
Favoritenstraße 11 / Ecke Taubstummengasse, 1040 Wien OpenStreetMap
Erdgeschoss, FAV Hörsaal 3 Zemanek, (barrierearmer Raum und WC)
Was bringst du mit?
Lust zu lernen, Dinge auszuprobieren und Spaß daran, kreative um die Ecke zu denken.
Eigener Laptop ist super. Wir haben vermutlich auch Laptops zum Ausborgen. Auch sonst finden wir eine Gruppe, wo du zuschauen, gemeinsam Challenges lösen und mitdiskutieren kannst. :)
Beginner-friendly: Es gibt immer auch Rätsel und Aufgaben für Anfänger*innen.
Für einzelne Challenges, wo es bestimmte Tools braucht, helfen wir uns gegenseitig beim Einrichten der Umgebung. Für manche Challenges ist es hilfreich, eine virtuelle Maschine und/oder die Software Docker am Laufen zu haben, aber es gibt auch genug Auswahl, wo das nicht der Fall ist!
Auch Leute, die sich schon gut auskennen und Erfahrung mit Cybersecurity-Challenges haben, sind herzlich willkommen! Let's connect and learn from each other!
Es wird Snacks geben. Kostenlos, keine Anmeldung nötig – komm einfach vorbei! Bring gerne friends mit und leite diese Einladung weiter, danke. :)

Phase 1: Interest in the #fediverse and #mastodon due to <reddit>
Phase 2: Sign-up on an instance
Phase 3: Use mastodon or #bookwyrm or #kbin or #pixelfed and become comfortable
Phase 4 (I am here now): move instances and make a new #introduction
Hi! I am an aging #nerd. I play #boardgames and #videogames. I like to #camp. I sewed my own #hammock for #hammockcamping, #myog style. I like #learning from, but not worshipping, #history.
Phase 5 (maybe?): admin my own instance
📬 Issue No. 5 of Notes on Data and Learning highlights the skill of omission in education.
In teaching data, statistics, or modeling, deciding what to exclude is as crucial as what to include, preventing overwhelm while keeping depth.
Drawing from my Health Metrics and Infectious Diseases experience, I discuss how teaching and writing prioritize over completeness.

Intro: I'm a #Biology professor researching the #Neurogenetics of #learning and #memory in #Drosophila. I study how operant or motor memories are formed and how other forms of learning regulate these processes. As spontaneous behavior is required for operant learning, I also study how #spontaneity arises in nervous systems.

Keskimääräinen heppuli. Tosikko ja oman elämänsä koomikko. Pyöräilijä, mutta lähinnä muualla kuin kaupungissa. Harrastaa kirjojen lainaamista enemmän kuin lukemista.

In an effort to enjoy life more, I've been trying to get back to stuff that I really love, the sorts of things that always have made my heart sing, you know?
One such thing is playing music. I took lessons in piano and oboe when I was younger, and taught myself some basic chords on the guitar. But I also wanted to try something new. So for Christmas, Adam bought me a musical instrument and it came today. Bet you can't guess what it is 😂
