It's time to remove laptops from classrooms. 24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images. The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

@enisgoguz @GeminiApp @ChatGPTapp @deepseek_ai I agree

@adelchaouch @GeminiApp @ChatGPTapp @deepseek_ai Soon it might replace boring PowerPoint presentations as well ;)

🧠Do bilinguals switch languages with digits as they do with pictures? Our new study in JEPLMC with ab initio learners suggests they don't. We find larger switching costs for digits than pictures, indicating that digit naming bypasses semantics. 📢pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41196718/

Los que me seguís sabéis que los recientes estudios paleogenéticos realizados por varias universidades a los restos de Cristóbal Colón y de su hijo Hernando han confirmado la teoría que llevo defendiendo desde hace bastantes años de que Cristóbal Colón era español y originario de Valencia o de alguna localidad ribereña del río Júcar. Lo que no se si sabréis es que el mismo método de individualización genética que ha descubierto en el conquistador su haplotipo valenciano es el mismo que ha servido para determinar que América fue descubierta, no por Colón ni por los Vikingos, sino por los habitantes de Siberia hace la friolera -nunca mejor dicho- de 35.000 años. Los siberianos y los habitantes de Alaska comparten haplotipos genéticos gracias a que aquellos cruzaran el Estrecho de Bering y ocuparan la parte nororiental de América. Por cierto, el estrecho de Bering lleva el nombre del explorador danés, Vitus Bering, que lo cruzó en 1728, pero el verdadero descubridor fue, en 1588, un español almeriense, Lorenzo Ferrer Maldonado, hijo de genovés y de valenciana, probablemente como Cristóbal Colón. Los resultados han sido publicados ya en la más afamada revista científica mundial, Nature.

New paper out!📢 Does preparation time shape bilingual language control? We show that global L1 inhibition fades with more time to prepare—and this holds regardless of L2 proficiency! ➡️Time enables the dynamic adjustment of L1/L2 activation levels. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

Procrastination is a blessing

This was kind of expected, wasn't it?

@javilopen Coding will be seen as an archaic tool only used until we developed machines that could understand natural language

It's game over. All those criticizing Vibecoding for creating code that will supposedly be impossible to maintain don’t realize that in less than a couple of years, just by asking, AI will be able to refactor projects with 100k+ lines, along with their libraries, and optimize anything better than the best experts in the world. Want it in assembly? No problem. Want it encoded in colored marbles? Whatever 😂 Programming was just a means, not an end. We’ve moved up a layer of abstraction.

There are a concerning number of YouTubers being paid to claim China is so much more advanced than America Who is paying them and why is YouTube pushing this propaganda?

@peevee33 @jburnmurdoch ? Thanks, I will do so 😂

NEW 🧵: Is human intelligence starting to decline? Recent results from major international tests show that the average person’s capacity to process information, use reasoning and solve novel problems has been falling since around the mid 2010s. What should we make of this?

Or should we adapt intelligence tests (which, after all, measure culture)—or just throw them away?
