Always learning!... and helping others to do the same. I've done research, written papers, taught maths, physics and science at high school and university... now doing bits and pieces

Let there be light!

Generally don't use AI but sometimes accidentally get exposed to results e.g. searching:

"what accents should be on the e in entree"

I got the screen shot below showing AI's response correctly presenting entrΓ©e with the acute accent over the first e and then contradicting this by explaining it's required over both e's.

[It'd be funny ha ha, if it wasn't for associated abuse of people and the environment by companies creating and promoting this sort of AI, along with the abuse of such tools.]

FWIW, teachers:

1. Know your subject. But don't pretend to know stuff you don't. Be happy to admit you got something wrong, correct yourself, and keep learning - seeking help from others, is not a weakness.

2. Less is more - you might have "covered it" but the students didn't actually learn it (see great Bud Blake cartoon below),

2, Go back over stuff often.

A lot of other stuff is people churning out education papers because their jobs / grant money depends on them churning out papers.

Even bigger art!

More art by Smug. This time on the sides of a old grain silos. If you zoom in you can see a person in the photo to see the enormous scale of the art.

The taller towers are over 30 m.

Large, impressive, "hidden" artwork.

Nice piece of art. Though an odd location, not difficult (but not easy) to find. You have to be deliberately looking for it - in a back alley (along the very long side of a tin shed).that runs slightly back from, and parallel to, the mainstreet.

So I took a photo of the plaque that has a mini version of the art, and a description - too difficult, for me, to take a photo of the actual art.

I'm currently teaching some students stats.

Here we have a two-tailed test.

Another photo from the beach dog walk. I was feeling artistic this morning.

Early morning view of Port Phillip Bay while dog walking.

She keeps trying to tell us that she's not built so much for agility and/or speed but... comfort.

Gotta love the United States of Americium!
