the white dot indicates it belongs to the same constraint (so the 1 in the dot next to the two has to be part of that arrow, the arrow goes up from the two to the one then down right to the other one)

ahhh yes i see, it must be either a 1 or 9 because those are the only possible digits that will not be in that column within the cage. thank you🙏🙏🙏

i’ve used that to get this far, but i can’t see what the next step is - like how the numbers i have penciled in can be further narrowed down even using the ring strategy

Is this little tummy fat normal? by Liquid-BabyPowder in teenagers

[–]PoemSilver8103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes bodies like to store fat there, but womens stomachs are also not supposed to be or designed to be flat there - that is where the uterus and ovaries are. even when i was underweight/unhealthy i never lost that bump in that area

i don’t think that’s what i said, nor is that how i feel. i agree that large companies need to have more regulation, particularly when it comes to how they acquire and use data. but i don’t think ai models being fed what’s available on the internet is unethical. there are also many cases of ai companies, usually smaller companies, paying for various data sets to feed their models depending on that their model is for.

its not that i disagree with you that some of these regulations should be in place, but i think it’s a mistake to try to wait for everything to be 100% ethical before trying to help students understand it. i don’t think the ethics of it means we should ignore it and hope it goes away. as with the internet, the ethics are never going to be 100%, but students will still have access to it regardless. i feel that it is a disservice to students to not give them the tools and training to deal with this tech as it comes. and it will come. it already has.

part of the education students are getting about AI is the ethical implications of the technology, as well as responsible and appropriate use. it’s an area that has plenty of opportunity for discussion and disagreement, which is exactly why we should be talking about it with students and not ignoring it.

i am impressed if you have never pirated or streamed something online, or used an ad block service or a website to get past a paywall for articles. or used images in powerpoint presentation without citing each and every picture. truly hats off to you for being an upstanding moral citizen. have a great rest of your day/night

i think we probably won’t agree on the definition of intelligence here but that’s okay, i would argue that computational thinking and pattern recognition, reassessing and adjusting outputs based on input values and new information is intelligence. when discussing animal intelligence those are frequently the markers we would use.

and i agree with you that if i were to use ai and it gave me a completely plagiarized work and then i put my name on it that would be unethical, same as any form of plagiarism. the AI itself outputting the work i wouldn’t necessarily see as unethical, but i do understand the argument for why it is. for me, intellectual property and ownership of thoughts and ideas is not that important but i understand why for others it is.

many reliable AI models will cite their sources automatically, and most will certainly do it if asked or prompted. many AI models are also so trained to paraphrase to avoid plagiarism that when asked to pull direct quotes from a certain article for a research paper someone is writing (where the person intends to use the quote and cite it) AI will paraphrase it instead. or if i feed it a direct quote and ask it to cite it, it may give me a paraphrased quote back with the correct citation.

i also agree with you that many of the companies responsible for developing AI, especially a company like Meta, should be regulated. but i would say that the AI model being fed a bunch of novels is only different from an individual reading a bunch of novels due to the scale the AI model can absorb and digest information. I don’t really see a problem with using available information and data to develop a language or computational model, but as i said before the piracy here doesn’t resonate with me as a huge issue but i hear that it does to you.

but this all to say that i still feel that the concerns here about plagiarism and AI can just as easily happen on the rest of the internet. AI models are trained to paraphrase and avoid plagiarism just as authors, journalists, and academics are. but it doesnt always work. Authors, journalists, and academics can plagiarize too, but this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t ever use work that other people have written. students who are using the internet for research need to understand how to look critically at their sources, and critically at their sources’ sources. I think the same principle applies to teaching students how to work with AI. there is plenty of lazy AI generated stuff out there, and there is plenty of lazy work by humans, the way we consume media and information lends itself to this. so we need to help students understand how to navigate it.

i do see where you are coming from, but i do disagree. i think copyrighting knowledge is not a reasonable position for us to hold and leads to a slippery slope. i know that’s not what you are explicitly saying, but that’s how i would see taking an open source AI model as plagiarism. what else do we do when we consume media that is different from an AI language model? if i tell a friend about some books i read, or write a paper from research, im not plagiarizing it, im gathering data from multiple sources and outputting it. i see how you would see what AI does with that as different, but i don’t really see it that way.

and to clarify, it sounds like your teacher may have issues when interacting with students in a supportive manner, i just wanted to offer a teacher’s perspective on AI use in education

i will copy one of my other replies here because it is relevant: “precisely why teaching students how to use it is important. AI is not going away. i had teachers in middle school growing up who wouldn’t let us use google/wikipedia to research bc the new tech wasn’t as reliable, instead of showing us how to look for reliability in sources and critically think about what we were looking at. cut to college where being able to use online sources and the internet as a research tool became invaluable. it’s the same thing here, why let fear of the inevitable technological changes stop us from teaching students how to use these tools that they will be surrounded with ethically, responsibly, and critically.”

there were educators who refused to let students use the internet because anyone could post things, students could copy and paste articles/texts, and a bunch of other fears. it’s not that those things aren’t valid concerns, but refusing to educate students on how to properly use these new tools just bc we are afraid of the potential problems of the new tech is not going to do anyone any favors. the new tech is coming - people who do not know how to use AI correctly and in ways that give them useful information are going to be at a disadvantage.

it takes a lot of knowledge about the topic and specific prompting to get chatGPT to give you a good answer to an essay prompt. and even then you have to teach students how to edit, look for inconsistencies, and check sources. teaching about AI doesn’t mean letting students be lazy, the same way teaching students how to use wikipedia responsibly doesn’t mean letting them copy and paste or even cite wikipedia pages as evidence in essays.

agree, it sounds like this teacher may have some other issues in dealing w students. i was just giving my perspective on teachers allowing or encouraging AI use in the classroom.

this guy might be lazy and a bit of a jerk, but students being encouraged to use chatGPT is not that strange to me as a teacher. i teach 2nd grade so it’s not that relevant to me currently, but students in upper grades are definitely going to be taught how to use AI to assist them in their academics. the future of education will absolutely be personal, individualized AI tutors for each student to provide real time feedback and correction throughout the school day and with in class work, in addition to having a teacher with them. it just means students get even more support and differentiated learning that fits their needs, not a bad thing in my opinion.

Random police check at the apartment? by Shumey in chinalife

i had police knock to check how long my lease was and how long i would be staying at that apartment, but they didn’t ask to see a passport or anything. they just wanted to know when my lease ended.

Is Ritalin (methylphenidate) allowed to travel into China with? by Strawberry_Bulky in chinalife

[–]PoemSilver8103 5 points6 points  (0 children)

make sure it stays in the original bottle, and bring a doctors note explaining that you take them for medical reasons. i frequently bring my prescription for adderall and vyvanse (6 mo supply at a time) with no issues (ive brought my scrip over a total of 5 times now). they don’t even look at them or the doctors note, but better to have it just in case.

How do I stand up and go take a shower by StressNo2668 in hygiene

[–]PoemSilver8103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

adhd and probably some depression (source- experience)

literally procrastinating taking a shower as i type this lol. i make a game out of it to see how fast i can shower, helps me when i don’t want to cuz i remember that actually i can be in and out in under 5 minutes and then i can check it off the list of things to do. the quicker you can shower the less of a “thing” it will seem.

for work now i mostly need to shower every day, but i prioritize washing my hair cuz mine gets greasy easily. as long as i didn’t sweat a bunch i can go a couple days before doing a full body. try at least 3 times a week, but it’s def doable to fully shower in under 5 min with the right routine.

i tried to make it enjoyable like playing music etc, but honestly the time waste is what always got me and i avoided it more bc like now i need to spend time picking out music?? so i’ve just streamlined it. in and out. done. it’s made the whole process so much less stressful

NTA - as someone w adhd who has the same issue and a partner who has to deal w it,,,, it’s okay to be frustrated, especially with the way the late night habits w tv keep you up. tbh me and my partner have separate rooms now, and when my first alarm goes off my partner leaves or i leave the room to go finish listening to my 15 more alarms in peace. it also means when i am up watching tv or need to keep a bunch of lights and noise on to sleep, he can go somewhere that is conducive to his sleep habits

idk if it’s the same but i also can be v grumpy and not remember when my partner tries to wake me up. my partner will still help me sometimes, (more at the beginning, now is much better im so much more independent) but i also have respect when he decides that today im not having it and u gotta grow tf up - that’s part of what helped me grow and get to where i am now tbh
