    1. the unemployment rate for recent college graduates rose to 5.6%, while the underemployment rate (the share of graduates working in jobs that typically do not require a college degree) reached 42.5%

      5.6%的失业率和42.5%的低就业率是衡量应届毕业生就业状况的重要指标。这一数据来自纽约联邦储备银行,具有较高的可信度。42.5%的低就业率是自疫情以来的最高水平,表明高等教育文凭的价值正在受到挑战。这些数据与AI对初级工作的影响可能相关,但文章也指出不能确定AI是唯一原因。

    1. A New York Times article uses the same temperature dataset you have been using to investigate the distribution of temperatures and temperature variability over time. Read through the article, paying close attention to the descriptions of the temperature distributions.

      Unfortunately, like most NYT content, this article is behind a paywall. I'm partly reading this as I plan to develop a set of open education resources myself and the problem of how to manage dead/unavailable links looks like a key stumbling block.

    1. From 1926 until the early 1950s, US military aircraft relied on a "one size fits all" design based on average measurements of hundreds of male pilots.

      But a 1950 study by Lt. Gilbert Daniels showed that out of 4,063 airmen, not even one was average in all ten measurements. They started designing cockpits and controls to be adjustable. Accidents decreased, and pilot performance increased.

      Standardized education makes the same mistake.
