在後世的演義文學中,蘇妲己是可怕的狐狸精,一心謀害周昌,而真實的歷史很可能是,蘇妲己才是讓周昌獲釋出獄的關鍵因素。

妲己雖背負諸多惡名而死,但周人奪取天下之後,武王還是重用了她的家人。紂王自殺後,商朝並未完全滅亡,周武王指定了紂王的兒子武庚(祿父)繼續在殷都擔任商王。這個武庚很可能就是蘇妲己生的。周人對蘇氏家族的倚重,和後世的演義文學可謂大相徑庭。

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber

I have my fifth graders write a program that will convert decimal numbers to Roman numerals. They know that there are already webpages that do this with smart trim programs that always give the right answer. They know they could ask an LLM and probably get the right answers most of the time.

They still want to solve the puzzle.

"It works! It works!"

I've love hearing that when I'm teaching.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber

It took me a long time to find a programing puzzle at the right level for 5th grade. Many things that might seem simple are too complex.

Making the Roman numeral converter they learn about indexes and lists, place value, and modular division.

It's really math, and logic. Working out how to present the question made *me* smarter since I had to think about the problem in a new way that avoided aspects of coding that were ... technical without really teaching much.

Today we had a fire alarm in the office. A colleague wrote to a Slack channel 'Fire alarm in the office building', to start a thread if somebody knows any details. We have AI assistant Glean integrated into the Slack, and it answered privately to her: "today's siren is just a scheduled test and you do not need to leave your workplace". It was not a test or a drill, it was a real fire alarm. Someday, AI will kill us.

Image of fire brigade near our officeGlean answer:

In building ... today’s siren is just a scheduled test and you do not need to leave
your workplace while it's running.

If you're unsure or something seems off (e.g. smoke, smell, people evacuating), call Munich building emergency number ... or ask at reception immediately.

John Oliver's Show covered what's happening with X/Twitter. How it's algorithms are designed to push right-wing content, and how people don't just get away with, but get paid for inciting violence and hate speech. His advice? Leave X.
