Funny you would say that. Professor Brusin gave only essay question exams. He refused to give multiple guess tests. ?For my final, Final Exam from him, I needed to study for a math exam. I came in and told him I knew I didn’t have an A exam in me to raise my final grade. The exam was 10 essays. I handed him a list of 12 or 13 questions. I had the 10 that were on the exam. He said when the exam starts sign my blue book and turn it in, and I’d get my current grade. I aced that exam and the math exam. I was the first to leave both exams, and got the high score on the math exam.?

When my convoluted path through college required me to once again required me to take US History once again, I tried to ask the instructor if she required us ?to learn specific exact dates. Yes, was her answer. Boring rote, meaning no learning. This was not even for my major, but a basic requirement.?

?

So I sat in on the first class of a professor. I asked him the same question. His reply was, why? The library was just down the hill from our room. He wanted us to know that this event was before such and such, which eventually lead up to this other event.?

?

I ended up taking both US History, but US Economic History. He also taught us how to study. All in lower level classes. When I finally became a Business major, in night school, I never opened the book in an upper level Econ class, and got a B grade.?

He was the best instructor I ever had and not one single specific date had to be memorized. “You can go to the library and look it up.”

Many of us are using Apple’s Notes.app without problems.

Are you using Awesome Notes by BRID? If so, you might check with the developer.

As I sit here, we have a total of over 1600 notes in at least 19 categories/folders in Apple’s Notes. And they are all in iCloud, because we want all of them to be available on my Mac, and both of our iPhones and iPads.

Re: [OATS] Removing incorrect email addresses from recents

 

?Hello, Jennie,
After reading all the ~10-12 posts on this topic you started, I just need to clarify one point. I usually work on my iMac but it’s temporarily in storage during a move, so here I’m asking about only iOS on my iPhone 11 and iPad 9th. I’m very familiar with what others have said here about removing phone #’s or email addresses from Contacts, and in the iOS Phone app there’s a clearly marked subsection named “Recents.”
If you could be so kind as to clarify for me, is there such an app subsection or location as “Recent EMail Addresses” or the like on iOS or iPadOS? In my iOS Apple Mail app, of course in the Mailboxes there are all the emails I haven’t deleted yet, but that’s not just a Recent email address list.
Thank you,
Dick

Re: Hi All

 

The movie Galaxy Quest comes to mind. Extra terrestrials located “archives” of life on earth. It consisted of movies/tv episodes that somehow survived. What unleashed AI can create, and the false “reality” that it can project to the future, based on possible multiple iterations scares me. GIGO is still true.

Re: Hi All

 

As was said in previous conversations about AI in this group, AIs tend to create stories. (Perhaps it was even you who said that?). If you ask facts from an AI you don’t know whether it’s telling a story or finding the facts you want. They can help find facts, but you had better ask for the references it used and double check them yourself. To confuse things even more, they can mix some facts in with a story. That makes it all the more critical to double check references, as often those references don’t say what the AI claimed. If you discover that the AI was story telling when it should have been fact finding, then you should correct the AI. I don’t use one very often, but I do the above when I am looking for facts.

The second is that people have a bad habit of using it as an aggregate search engine, without fact checking, and using trends instead of facts. It does not check the results against known facts or logic. It then publishes the results to the web, corrupting or polluting the pool of information. Basically, shitting in it own drinking water, making the next use of AI even more corrupt or in error. This continuous corruption is then repeated by both AI and people.
