Today I learned that there are two (2) separate and distinct Teva sandal companies. There is the Israeli Teva Naot brand and the not-Israeli (owned by Decker Outdoors of Goleta, CA) Teva brand. I am sharing in case this is useful information for anyone else in the market for sandals.

Loving this: "The Copilot Delusion" Quotes: "Copilot isn’t that. It’s just the ghost of a thousand blog posts and cocky stack-overflow posts whispering, "Hey, I saw this once. With my eyes.

Very insightful read on how the #AI hype in science overestimates its capabilities and why this happens. Tl;dr it's our old friend survivorship/ publication bias again rearing its ugly head. https://www.understandingai.org/p/i-got-fooled-by-ai-for-science-hypeheres
