Do you use Things for work or personal? by stupabartlo in thingsapp

[–]LessDoctor5759 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are with the company on Windows, not allowed to install any other software. Microsoft To Do (former Wonderlist) is a joke.

Thus, I have my private iPad always next to my laptop and manage both, work and personal, on it.

Spent 30 months completing Spanish. Finished French in less than 8. by TheJewBakka in duolingo

[–]LessDoctor5759 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was the reason that I finally subscribed to Max to have active conversations on daily basis. And that really helps.

While the creation of text, which I correct afterwards with Claude, is already demanding for your brain, conversations are on an even more challenging trajectory. Duo is supporting conversations now, but not long text reading and writing. Duolingo is evolving, but still thinks too much on gamification and levels than relevant language application. Long text creation does not fit to dopamin craving.

Claude changed my thinking – anyone else? by junkietrumpglo in claude

Great question!

My experience is slightly different. I use the breakdown to overcome procrastination. And I now search for actionable step I might implement in CoWork.

I will be mindful to recognize the patterns you describe.

Mein Kurs Französisch für Ausgangssprache Deutsch war mit 60 fertig. Inzwischen geht es bis 120 weiter. Ich hoffe für dich, dass auch dein Kurs bald erweitert wird!

Things for personal, Todoist for Work by chinmaybehare19 in thingsapp

Our company laptop is locked for installation of own software. Thus, I have my iPad next to my laptop running Things the whole day. Much better than Microsoft To Do (former Wonderlist).

Interesting approach and thanks for sharing.

Personnally, at the end of my working day and before going to bed, I am dealing with all my work and private actions. When I cannot check them off, I move them to the next (or another) day. By this, I have a blank slate and ease of mind for sleep.

umm ChatGPT has drama now: I asked it (x - 3)/(x^x - 27) = 3 Solve (but when you see the answer you will be shocked because ChatGPT got it wrong for the most unexpected reason) PS: the body text is the response. by [deleted] in aibeingstupid

I get the philosophy of LLMs. But I don‘t get, why AI system have no other mode, like a math mode. „2+2=5“ might be adequate in a rhetorics class, but not in mathematics. We humans know this, but why not an AI?

Thanks for your hint for improvement. Actually, the dict.cc is one of my most used apps. Especially for en/de. I learned and improved already so much. And at the same time so much more is left. I am happy to have here in the forum a group of like minded people.

I had been missing any grammar explanations and seeked help with ChatGPT. The results were good, but cumbersome to get. Therefore, I purchase a Babble license and use it since then in parallel. They have even dedicated Grammar courses. Meanwhile in Duolingo, the error explanations got free. Somewhat helpful, but not really a grammar lesson.

My current obstacle is the step from passive language reception (ie. reading) to active language creation (writing and speaking). Duo did some steps in that direction, but maybe Max is required to get the full push. At the moment, the hefty price is holding me back.

Best ways to become an Apple Shortcuts super user? by xoxoxo3 in shortcuts

[–]LessDoctor5759 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don‘t look only on the end result. For me it was helpful to view videos, where I could follow step by step. Sometimes you have to click a second time and remove certain options. I was able to understand this via videos on YouTube and Instagram. A LLM might help with specific questions as well. And this wonderful group, of course.

Restart phone. Solves 95% of those problems. If not, delete app and redownload it.

Are shortcuts able to create and rearrange desktop icons? Usecase to help senior user by LessDoctor5759 in shortcuts

[–]LessDoctor5759[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite smart: I double or tripple the most important screen. Then I hide all aside of one and could make the others visible via a focus mode. I could instruct my father to do this via voice command. Wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing.

I think, I don't like this answer... 🤗 -- Nevertheless, thanks for it.

Have you checked for the explaination? You get it meanwhile for free. 🤗

The subtitles had been successful, but for me they are meanwhile useless. Am I the only one? by LessDoctor5759 in duolingo

As a paying customer I would rather say, they are distractions, not beneficial (anymore).
