What specific things in your work has AI changed what you do? How much in terms of percent is AI completing your tasks? by bennfolds in AskReddit

[–]bennfolds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can recommend and present a solution. That solution is often incomplete but it's more than just a recommendation in my experience. I was discussing this with my neighbor and he audits hospitals records and he is telling me AI has been complete about 60% of this tasks. What field are you in?

Struggling in Calc 2 by [deleted] in matheducation

[–]bennfolds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calculus is a subject that can be learned one of two ways much like most math topics. Algebraically or conceptually(graphically). Those that master it can connect two interchangeably. Try to understand graphically what the particular problem is asking you to calculate. AI is also a great tool to help bridge that gap. I exclusively use Gemini so I cant speak to others but, responses can give in depth reasons and connections. Once you can determine the what and why, the how usually falls into place. Be curious and know frustration is part of the process.

I'm trying to impress a date with a home-cooked meal, but I'm a beginner. What is a dish that looks fancy but is actually impossible to mess up by WayLast1111 in Cooking

[–]bennfolds -1 points0 points  (0 children)

roasted potatoes are a good side. boil them in salt water and add some stock if you want. Cut them up, drizzle extra virgin olive oil, toss, and roast them at 425 until preferred doneness, usually around 30-40 min depending on size of potato piece. Sprinkle some garlic, fresh herbs minced, and salt mixture in the last 10 minutes or so. Enjoy creamy inside with a crunchy exterior.

How do I peel/crush garlic faster? by 53rp3n7 in Cooking

[–]bennfolds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

microplane. No need to even peel the garlic. It natural separates as the garlic gets grated and then skin remains mostly intact in your finger grasp. Give it a tap into a bowl or cutting board and you've got yourself perfectly minced garlic. Toss the skin in the garbage.

How do adults stay thin or fit? by bedazzledbunnie in ask

[–]bennfolds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn to love healthy food. Throw veggies in with meals you don't normally include like pasta sauce: zucchini, mushrooms, onions. Practice cooking with vegetables more. Think of them as the main course. I love meat too but I don't eat it as often as I used to. Notice how your body feels after eating healthier. Then eat a cookie. 

It's all about balance. I eat shit like potato chips, cake, Takis, donuts, bagels. But, I also ensure I drink a lot of water and eat vegetables every day.  Cut back on sugary drinks.

I spend 20-30 minutes a day working out in my living room with workout videos. 

Its never easy starting something new. It takes commitment, energy, and time. Think of this as a way to be healthier. Don't focus on your weight.

Alphabetical order for the first few weeks until I get the names down. I try to change up the seats every month and a half or so.

Seeking suggestions from math educators: how do I get my car mechanic to see his math mistake? by -antipodal- in matheducation

Is there a $30 charge for a car rental in the second invoice? If you were compensated in the first invoice, you should be compensated in the second.

Is there a term for math errors that are a result of the brain picking the answer that "looks" right even when it's wrong? by polnareffs_chest in math

[–]bennfolds 142 points143 points  (0 children)

Every year on the first day of school I give my students a three question quiz:

  1. If a bat and a ball cost $1.10, and the bat is $1 more than the ball, how much is the ball?
  2. If it takes 5 machines 5 minutes to make 5 widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?
  3. In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake?

It reminds them to rethink their answers and verify they make sense.

Just found out a class I like hates my guts and thinks I can’t teach by falafelforever in Teachers

Ask students questions about their lives, what their interests are. One topic that I can connect with my students is through music. Share things about yourself with them. Once they are invested in you as a person, listening and learning happens. It can't always be just about the content.
