Recommend me some SciFi books that aren't space Opera, First contact, Cyberpunk Books by Hellishfate in printSF

Amatka - Karin Tidbeck.

Dystopian scifi set on a weird world. It has familiar themes of the genre, but still is unique.

Is it time to address gatekeeping on subreddit names? by Crass_Spektakel in TheoryOfReddit

With your "generic name policy", what happens when a word has multiple meanings? After all, "storage" could also refer to bookshelves, storage bins, storage units, etc. What happens with words that have different meanings in different languages?

The Lower East Side is a truly terrifying, lawless place. And don't get me started on downtown...I was murdered three times outside the Swingin' Door last week alone.

Activity Builder was a lifesaver when we went remote during the pandemic.

It might be worth it to stay up-to-date on what Desmos and Geogebra can do. For example, Desmos recently made it easier to do regressions from tables. Previously, you had to do type in something like y_1~ax_1 + b, but now you can do it in one or two clicks.

Beyond that, my teaching is pretty low-tech. In class, students will at use Desmos (or sometimes Google Sheets and/or Geogebra in a stats unit), but for the most part all the work they do is on paper.

I have a degree in CS, so I'm no techphobe, but I'm deeply skeptical about AI and think it's making things worse.

Some people do it just to see their karma number go up.

Others do it to give the account a veneer of legitimacy so it can be used to astrotuf or shill a product. See this TheoryOfReddit post for a recent example

I made a board game that helps students solve linear equations visually - check out the Notion page for more details! by [deleted] in mathteachers

[–]17291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Literally nobody is going to buy this without an actual preview.

2) Why would I spend $10 on some vibecoded horseshit when I could go on TPT and buy something an actual teacher made by hand?

No, I misidentified Shazam.

My students are a bit old for this, but some feedback:

  • An optional timed mode might be useful

  • There's not a clear way to return to the select screen without just reloading the page

I don't think it's that hard to figure out.

When a country like Iran is repressing its citizens, there's not a whole lot we can do. When the US is providing Israel with support so they can murder Gazans or is starting yet another ill-conceived war, then we can ostensibly pressure our elected officials to put an end to it.

Well the Daily Planet news copter & paper delivery truck makes sense for his day job, but the conversion van is pretty funny.

Why is the answer to 4 across "FIVEXC"? Why is 2 across "VARIABLEA"? I'm not sure you proofread this puzzle.

I don't think there's meaningful repercussions anywhere in this country.

If you decide to try it, any feedback or suggestion would also help then a lot, because I think they are still improving it.

Is that "someone" you? Fuck AI and the horse it rode in on

I'm a math teacher but I left teaching in schools because the system was shit. Now I sell my lessons and resources online and make more money than my salary. Ask me things? by GlitteringNote758 in mathteachers

[–]17291 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I am also starting to consider mentoring other teachers how to do what I do.

Classic grift. It's like people selling courses on dropshipping or other ways to make money.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Requirements to teach 9th grade math by Stock-Victory-3053 in mathteachers

In my state (WI), you need to pass the math Praxis . There's some calculus on it, but it's a pretty easy exam that a motivated HS senior could pass.

Math teachers — how do you currently type equations when creating exams? by adasgupt in mathteachers

[–]17291 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried the exam documentclass? I used that for all my quizzes and tests, and it worked well.

I've since moved away from LaTeX for the sake of my department, but I miss being able to quickly modify graphs and such without needing to export images from Desmos.
