10、ver to his hill. I saw the dirt falling on his trousers and his shoes on the way to the slide. I watched as he climbed the ladder, only to slide down the slide and fall into that pile of dirt.Instead of telling him to stop and watch his brother, we both just laughed because we knew that playing is l
11、earning. As Albert Einstein once said, “Play is the highest form of research.”We watched him play and enjoyed the feet that he was learning while he made a cool masterpiece over there. Clothes can be washed, hands can be cleaned, and shoes can be scrubbed (刷洗). We remember we are raising kids who kn
12、ow how to play and create, not kids that are afraid to get their hands dirty.We decided a long time ago, when our first son was young, that we werent going to let exhaustion or convenience get the best of us.

13、the night. Also, it is more convenient to bring an iPad and have them sit beside us quietly.

18、le on the play Chitra. First it selected infonnation about Chitra from the Internet. Then it looked at existing entries to learn the structure for a standard article.

19、” anything about Chitra. It simply pieced together parts of existing sentences from existing articles to make new ones.Fast forward to 2020. OpenAI, a for-profit company, built a language generation program called Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3). Its ability to learn, summarize and comp
20、ose text has staggered computer scientists like me.

23、GPT-3 produced eight different essays as instructed, and The Guardian ended up publishing an article using some of the best parts from each essay. Editing GPT-3s article, the editors noted, was no different from editing an article written by a human.Despite GPT-3s reassurances, OpenAI has yet to rel
24、ease the model for open-source use, because the company worries that the technology could be deliberately used in a way that is wrong. Its not difficult to see how it could be used to generate lots of disinformation. The technology will become only more powerful. Itll be up to humans to work out and

28、d choking dust move their way across the Great Plains of the US. The disaster was a result of both man-made and natural causes.

31、ross the US, farmers buy crop insurance subsidized (补贴) by the federal government, which promises them that they wont lose money by forming more land,” she says. “As a result, insurance policies have a hand in thickening the dust cover. Its not that farmers arent deserving the governments help. Ther
32、e are just better ways to promote farming without encouraging expansion into marginal lands.”One approach is to preserve soil quality. The federal government began to educate farmers on soil conservation techniques and encouraged them to adopt planting and plowing (耕地) methods that conserved the soi
