have taught an advanced computer science class at UC Berkeley nine

prepare students for their first forays into the software engineering
profession.
I can’t overstate how damaging it is for students to use AI as a
means of short-circuiting this process. Part of the purpose of a
college course is in learning how to think about and work through
complex problems; none of that is achieved if students trade the
experience of coding for the convenience of chatbots. In doing this,
my students weren’t just cheating the course. They were cheating
themselves out of vital development as engineers, failing to make the
connections that practice and hard work help form.

tendency veteran money-managers often share is a high tolerance for
cognitive dissonance. This is because without it their job would be a
nightmare. Clients know that outsize returns come from taking risks,
and want them to do so, but then balk when they lose money. Research
is essential for gaining an edge, but a good chunk of even the best
analyst's ideas will fail to turn a profit. And of course, the most
carefully built portfolio--with each position backed by a solid thesis
and weights fine-tuned to the basis point--can be trounced by one that
might have been slapped together in five minutes.

whether Trump can oust her.

tendency veteran money-managers often share is a high tolerance for
cognitive dissonance. This is because without it their job would be a
nightmare. Clients know that outsize returns come from taking risks,
and want them to do so, but then balk when they lose money. Research
is essential for gaining an edge, but a good chunk of even the best

carefully built portfolio--with each position backed by a solid thesis
and weights fine-tuned to the basis point--can be trounced by one that
might have been slapped together in five minutes.

continued to climb on Wednesday, dancing with the $3,900 mark as of

seek "safe havens" for parking their money. Before Wednesday, the
asset -- and other metals, like silver -- have seen wider gains over
the last year, particularly with President Donald Trump's barrage of
