Can someone elucidate us as to how so many platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc etc) all sprung up so quickly? How did the engineering teams immediately know how to go about doing this kind of tech with LLMs and DNNs and whatnot?
Yeah I think when students actually hit Calculus-level related rates, a small dim light starts to glow. Obviously it only gets brighter the less you have to hold onto and the more you have to mathematically present something that you are trying to reason about that all the tools start to make sense, the relationships are asking you “is this true in my case or do I need to take a step back?” and so forth.
I don’t have an axe to grind against the site I think it’s fine, but if someone wants to learn LA, a college level course followed by an intense grind of word problems and having to work backwards and forwards and finding flaws in answers might be a better way to develop the noggin for it. Just my 2c.
I have been banned from so many online forums/discussion boards for having a contrarian viewpoint that I’m practically stripped from the internet to begin with. Things like these will just force people to be passive consumers who can’t voice their opinions, so from my perspective nothing changes.
Special thanks to dang for banning me about ~30 times and shadow banning me another 50. Doing the good Lord’s work.
I don’t like these examples because IRL nobody does things this way.
Try actual problems that require you to use these tools and the inter-relationships between them, where it becomes blindingly obvious why they exist. Calculus is a prime example and it’s comical most students find Calculus hard because their LA is weak. But Calculus has extensive uses, just not for doing basic carb counting.
You’ve heard this line of thought before, and forgive me for parroting but here it goes:
Bluesky attracts the same people X attracts, they just disagree on specifics which in most cases are surface level. The fanaticism and tribalism is basically the same. There is no utopia where a community is pleasant without a lot of guarding and gatekeeping and, really, viewpoint alignment and subject matter filtering. Some topics are basically there for shitflinging, and that’s mostly the topics that seem to be a hot poker for everyone.
No one gets banned for preferring Debian over Fedora.
