What scares me about this new AI mode thingy is that every answer sounds like a systematic literature review, but only for the results. For example, if I look for users feedback about a specific product, it says "People think that..., but also that...; It's important to notice that some people ..." where with 'people' it means just a random comment on a random website just because it thought it was a good contribution to the results. Sounds like it's giving a ground truth from "multiple" data, when instead it's just aggregating almost random stuff. In the context of a systematic review, the feature that I would love the most is augmenting my initial query, so that I can just get more results that I could find interesting. I am 100% sure they thought about this, but ignored it for the most profitable option.

Pasta Cooking Time 10 months ago

Well, Italian *nonnas rarely used more than one pan for cooking, and it was very common to just put pasta without the sauce in the plate, and a generous spoonful of sauce on top. This is what you used to find in restaurants, too.

The cooking water in the large pan is a rather new thing. Or maybe it's something just from my region :)

or even the "export to ascii" of draw.io? I would be happy to hear what the advantages could be.

Running overtime is the one unforgivable error a lecturer can make. This is so true. It has happened too often that a professor has decided to explain the most difficult topic in 5 minutes overtime. Before lunch. What a mistake.

This kind of project reminded me of the homework we had to do in uni for the "formal methods for real-time systems" course. We had to use UPPAAL [1] to verify the stability of a transportation belt with some machines doing things with some delays and other stuff. As far as I remember UPPAAL provides also some python libraries, that can be used to make automated tests. It would be interesting to see how Hay Day scenarios could be implemented in UPPAAL and test different approaches. Anyway, very nice project, the article is really well written as well.
