Low conscientiousness is linked to anti-social behavior, blue-collared crimes, and crimes of passion,[3] as well as unemployment and homelessness.[19] Low conscientiousness and low agreeableness taken together are also associated with substance use disorders.[27] People low in conscientiousness have difficulty saving money and their risky borrowing practices make them fall prey to subprime and predatory lending more often than conscientious people. High conscientiousness is associated with more careful planning of shopping trips and less impulse buying of unneeded items.[19] Conscientiousness is positively correlated with business, white-collared, and premeditated criminal behavior.[28]
I have found that many things are learnable, but they have to be taught in a way that you can understand. Most teachers only know one or two ways to explain something. Additionally, they just don't have the time to tailor materials to people. I get really skeptical when people say they can't learn things or have trouble with something. People start acting like you need to be a genius to understand how a comma works or know algebra. I would feel bad as a teacher if I could not explain to an 18 year old how a comma works. Its not that the student is bad, the teacher is bad.
The more time I have spent trying to teach things to people, I think its mostly a failure of the teacher to be able to explain things in a way that people can understand.
You listen to them explain what they are having trouble with, and it seems like they just had bad/incomplete information which makes the process 10x harder. Many people are only really going to learn things if you explain it in X terms, where X is something they really like and think about all the time.
Edit:
I see complaining about dumb/bad students like comedians complaining that the crowd is bad and does not like their jokes. Maybe you just need better jokes, because there are comedians that can get that crowd to laugh.
If you are going to do all this, you might be better off getting a half of a steno keyboard, plover, and use https://github.com/Abkwreu/plover-left-hand-modifiers/blob/m.... Essentially, it allows every shortcut to be typed in two strokes/presses of keys, and using only the left hand.
I have access to/can input nearly any shortcut, punctuation, modifier, reg key, numpad, number bar, arrow keys, etc all on one hand, and the system is very easy to learn. I don't care about shortcuts anymore as they are all nearly the same difficulty to input, and I never need to move my hand to do it. This takes only a few hours to learn at most.
Hitting ctrl+t on a keyboard once is more wrist/finger movement than I normally see all day using this.
This is incredible and something I feel I've been waiting for for a while without knowing it. I transitioned to an alternative keyboard layout (colemak) several years ago in order to alleviate some RSI in my wrists. I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind.
How long did it take you to learn this layout? Is there a sequential method to learning it, similar to using tarmak for learning colemak? A difficulty I sometimes face is using a regular qwerty layout—do you experience difficulty using a normal keyboard?
I am/was a long-time colemak user, too. Most keyboard layouts I've found I learn about 1wpm per hour of dedicated typing practice. Qwerty is really bad, but I don't have trouble typing on it, no. I can switch between layouts easily if I have to. I can type one or two more layouts around 30-50wpm as well. I don't have any difficulty using a regular keyboard no, but typing individual letters kind of feels like a scam now.
This system for the shortcuts is only a few hours. A lot of it is phonetic, and the numbers are in binary. Numpad is binary + *, and function keys are binary + r.
So if you know binary and can hold one of three extra keys, you now have three ways to do numbers and the only difference is one key.
Shift+num works for punctuation too, so you don't really need to know all the punctuation shortcuts. You just need to remember what they are on a regular keyboard and then its just sh+binary.
The other things you'd need to know are how letters work (the ones not shown), and the shortcut combinations, but there are not that many of those, and they stack on top of each other visually.
You'd just need a 10-key keyboard, or toggle plover on and off to use this dictionary.
If you mean the rest of plover/steno, its a drastically higher learning curve and is basically a hobby for me. Just being able to fingerspell (type single letters) is learning another keyboard layout. But this combines several of my interests, so its not bad for me.
Learning wise, I am a huge Supermemo fan, so I just use that to memorize/review the stuff that needs it beyond learning the theory (which I also review in Supermemo). Most people would use Anki or Mochi.
I'm a long term (10 year+) user of Supermemo (and general fan of SRS stuff) and finally got around to checking out StudyWand today. This is the best experience I've had making flashcards and general study material ever. Hands down, nothing I've seen comes close.
It's wild because StudyWand took my sample notes and did everything that I would have done with them if I was going to use them to get a good grade in school. I was expecting some semi-decent cloze generated cards but got much more.
Literally, when I was in college I would take notes in class, and then spend about 20-40 minutes post class doing almost exactly what StudyWand does. The classes that I bothered doing that for, I always got a good grade in, nearly effortlessly. The hardest part was making the notes.
The part of this that I'm actually excited about is that this tool also works with any sort of documentation. For example, I can clean up any reference page from MDN as a PDF and get a usable (like actually well-made flashcards) set of 15-20 flashcards for it. Oh, you also get summaries and multiple essay questions too. The only way this would be better is if it gave you cloze deletions that were actual sample code to fill in the blank with.
I didn't really like your intro so I took a few days longer than I normally would have to look at your software (I normally check out every SRS software I see on HN). This software is insane. The value is so, so, so ridiculous. I half-hearted uploaded one poorly made PDF of a webpage and got flashcards that are comparable to what I would make as a 10+ SRS user. I almost stopped doing the initial reviews halfway through and looked for a way to pay for this.
Outside of Supermemo, this is the only other SRS software that I've seen that's worth my money. The hardest part is going to be convincing all my younger family members to actually use this. I've tried so many times to get people to use Anki (Supermemo won't happen), and they just don't get it. I think StudyWand might be able to bridge that gap. I'm going to try and see.
Whoa, awesome to see a fellow SuperMemo user here! I've been going for 17 years, I absolutely can't imagine life without SuperMemo and I've stopped trying to sell my friends on it. Have you tried integrating Study Wand with SuperMemo at all? I'm always on the lookout for ways to maximize my information intake (Aside from SuperMemo, which already does a nearly perfect job at it).
Nothing automated yet, but I may plan to. I don't regularly add that many new cards to my collection to where it'd be an immediate benefit for me. I may add more with StudyWand since it seems to do a good enough job of creating cards. Incremental reading is the primary way I add new material to my collection, but I don't really fully process articles that much into items these days. Most of my SuperMemo use is using incremental reading to ensure I always have something interesting to read as well as tasklists for planning/ideas. I have a lot of stuff that I like to revisit or review, which I find using SuperMemo great for too.
ChatGPT feels like the current aim assist debates in a lot of FPSses to me. It'll make you better at the shooting part of the game, perfect even. But, won't necessarily make you that much of a better player, because aiming is only one aspect of what makes someone good at FPSes. However, if someone is generally good enough or very good at the "not aiming" portion of the games, then having aim assist would drastically increase their overall skill.
Also, ChatGPT doesn't really work for any UI based programs at all. For example, if you want help using Excel, you'll get a list of instructions, but nothing visual to help you out.
Samsung Galaxy Xcover6 Pro was released in July and has a removable battery, headphone jack, and has the same IP rating as the S9
A few companies have business/military phones that still have most of the features people were used to. They are a little bigger, but you don't need a case.
Hmm, nice but that's really a very different kind of device. I don't want anything so bulky - this is like double the thickness of the S9. I'm not using any case, no need - the Gorilla glass is more than enough to survive repeated falls on the road when I was getting out of a car.
I've been trying to figure out where the origin of this phrase was recently. It wasn't a term to me even a month ago. Whoever launched it did a great job. No one I've talked to about it seems to be interested in where it came from.
It also works with "quiet x'ing" like other commenters have said for near infinite tongue-in-cheek jokes and content creation. I don't think it'll go away for awhile. You can shit out an article for almost everything a person/business does that ends in ing.
