Reply to comment by Electrical-Smile-636 in Exploring a new environment helps boost dopamine levels which are projected to the hippocampus, decreasing the threshold for learning. However, in older people, the novelty of a new environment doesn’t boost memory as much as it does in younger people. by Wagamaga
While reading this, i asked myself, should students and teachers try to change the environment their are learning in as often as possible then? Would it make a difference if you study in the same room for a few weeks or study a few weeks in a new room everyday?

Reply to Study finds AI assistants help developers produce code that's more likely to be buggy / Computer scientists from Stanford University have found that programmers who accept help from AI tools like Github Copilot produce less secure code than those who fly solo. by Sorin61
And another click bait title to farm on the current AI buzz.
If you care to look at the study itself, first, N=47, which is not that much.
Second, they had two assignments involving encrypting and decrypting, as well as SQL.
So all that they found out is that AI is not very secure at doing encryption stuff (who could have known) and does not property check for SQL injection bugs.
Also, in the assignment given to the users, i don’t see anything like “make sure it’s safe against Injection”.
Overall, interesting study but bad title.
