Wow, did not know it was the first time in 46 years that Team USA won the Olympic gold in hockey.
Aaaaand politics. Oh America. You just can’t let it go. (They got a call from Trump! How dare they!)https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7068426/2026/02/24/usa-mens-olympics-hockey-gold-donald-trump/
Meanwhile, in Britain, the even is just reported with little fanfare.https://www.bbc.com/sport/ice-hockey/articles/cvgv89eq1jjo
Interesting take on AI in the classroom:
https://www.wsj.com/opinion/how-i-killedand-revivedteamwork-with-ai-5a5722cf?-Having the students record their meetings as if it was a real meeting, then using AI to determine the distribution of work. Why didn’t I think of that? It’s just a transcript, they’re using it anyway, and there would be a record of what each person said.
Workout in! Supersets? What does ChatGPT say?
And had some cheesecake today… Baked Expectations, dessert shops not like in Beijing.
