Me: OK, does anyone have any questions?
Students:
Me: Seriously, is any of this at all confusing or unclear?
Students:
Me: So everyone is confident they understand what we just covered?
Students:
Me: OK, well, if you realize you don't think you get it later, email me or or talk to me before or after class and we'll chat.
End of semester student evaluations: "I didn't understand anything." "I was confused the whole time." "He was super confusing!"
Everyone should have at least two Apricot Portables.

Finger weg von Forschungsgeldern!
Der Ausschluss der Schweiz aus dem Horizon Programm ist per se schon ein Desaster. Nun will der Bundesrat auch das für Horizon reservierte Geld für Sparmassnahmen opfern!?

@ste_santschi Examiners are usually benevolent, even when they ask tough questions: they know that you’re the expert on your topic.
Pandoc version 3 and later support the creation of websites with navigation links: The hunked HTML format ("chunkedhtml") was introduced in pandoc 3.0. With it, pandoc splits the document into "chunks" at the section level, and writes the result to a directory or a zip file, adding links like "next", "previous", etc to simplify navigation.
Demo:

The biggest question for me about large language model interfaces - ChatGPT, the new Bing, Google's Bard - is this:
How long does it take for regular users (as opposed to experts, or people who just try them once or twice) to convince themselves that these tools frequently makes things up that aren't accurate?
And assuming they figure this out, how does knowing it affect the way they use these tools?
If anyone was in any doubt about how the chatGPT/Bard hype was going to go in education, the venture capital company Andreessen Horowitz just dropped its "Five Predictions for the Future of Learning in the Age of AI" and signed off with "We are excited about all the ways AI will change learning, knowledge, education, personal development, and self improvement. If you are building in these categories, reach out" https://a16z.com/2023/02/08/the-future-of-learning-education-knowledge-in-the-age-of-ai/

I swear this is one of the reasons why these models will make much more damage even than they appear to in the short term - using the bot to understand the bot feels satisfying and slakes curiosity while literally biting into its premise uncritically.
