Here are the steps followed by teachers, if it's of any help as to why we "start at the start" 🙂

This #mathsmonday I'm expanding on #scalars in #mathematics. Previously we discussed that integers in #maths are discrete, and used for counting things. In #math we also have the Real Numbers, which is a bit of a misnomer since we don't usually use them for […]

TBF though, TV sound is actually pretty high quality, if you plug it into your hi-fi - it only sounds crap because they make the TV's with cheap speakers

This #mathsmonday Why there isn't an #infinite amount of #numbers between 0 and 1 on the #number-line AKA The number-line isn't a TARDIS!
Firstly, one thing to point out is that people often conflate numbers with #numerals. This is important […]

That's because they're asking AI to prove university-level theorems (using probability, which is how AI works), and it randomly manages to get 5 out of 6 of them right https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/114929904096819843

"Axiom is tackling advanced math, which AI researchers and leaders consider essential to achieving superintelligence" - understanding basic Year 7 Maths would be essential to that, so they're starting in the wrong place! 😂

I had someone once say to me that adding a spoiler to a car does NOT increase drag. I pointed out that was impossible - if you increase the downforce then that MUST come at a cost of something somewhere else, and that cost is increased drag. They […]

The whole AI bubble is built on ignoring that machine "reasoning" requires deterministic algorithms (not heuristics), which they don't want to make the effort to implement 🙄
AI (heuristics): 1=0

"can teach any subject" - it can't teach Maths for starters 🙄 (hilariously, the article says "basic arithmetic" - yeah, like 3rd grade)

P.S. I would've loved a 944 too (especially a Turbo), but I never owned one. I had a 924 Turbo for quite a while, but crashed it when racing at Bathurst in the wet (then the 928 was the next one I bought after that, but that was strictly a […]

Mechanically it was fine, it was structural/cosmetics. e.g. was driving on a country road at, well, a bit over the limit, 🙂 when I hit a dip in the road which wasn't signposted, with quite an impact to the lower-front of the car (because so low […]

Unfortunately not. I had it for a long time, but change in financial circumstances meant I couldn't really afford it anymore (parts are expensive!). I had some damage that I hadn't put in insurance claims for yet, so wanted to do that before […]
