AI and teaching

The Best Way to Reach Your Goals May Be Publicly Recording Your Progress

How will AI influence teaching?

  • Why should one attend conferences? The most important part is seeing a person in person. :) You see a person, you see how they act, you get the message much better.
  • In chess, the use of computers made chess accessible to a lot of people. It democratized access to chess for pretty much anyone with a laptop/smartphone/PC. On the other hand, top experts still use human coaches. Personal relationships matter.

So, in my opinion:

  • For a person with basic access to Internet, AI will make learning easy. If you wish to learn, and have access to Internet, you will be able to do so.
  • On the other hand, I think teachers will still be important, the human touch is here to stay.

Your life matters (even if you’re not famous)

Neal Fowler - Book of Life.

Your life matters (even if you’re not famous) – Darius Foroux:

Here’s what most people get wrong. We think impact only counts when it’s big and public.
But that’s not how impact works.
Think about the people who shaped you most. A parent, teacher, or friend who said the right thing at the right time.
None of them were famous. None of them had an audience. They mattered because they were close to you, not because they were known to everyone.
That’s the rule. Impact moves through proximity, not popularity.

Hidden PDFs. Or so it seems!

Peter Thoeny - Quality HDR Photography - Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel

Let’s say you have a PDF file with sensitive information (personal data, for GDPR, should generally be kept private).

I saw from time to time this solution – adding a square/rectangle with a black (or any other color) element, so that the information is to be kept private.

The problem is that there’s an easy workaround – you can simply select a text, and you can see what is hidden behind the rectangle.

Even if in PDFs you can’t see what’s behind a rectangle, you can still select it and get the data.

Quite an issue.

Business idea: A subscription service for maintaining graves

Business idea in the USA:

  • Tending offers either a one-time restoration starting at $225 or a subscription starting at $96 per session.
  • About 60% of its customers choose the latter, which includes an initial restoration and quarterly maintenance.
  • Independent contractors perform the maintenance and upload before-and-after photos to Tending’s app.
  • AI identifies stone types and offers contractors guidance on how to restore and clean them.
  • Cemeteries can earn money through referrals.

Tending has completed 20k+ one-time orders across the US, counts 5k+ active subscribers, and receives ~70 new orders daily.

You are what you constantly do

Andreas Klodt - Semicircle repeats

If you have a habit of not wasting resources, you are an energy-saver.

On the other hand, if you have exceptions to the rule, you are a partial energy-saver.

And if you only save energy from time to time, you are a rare energy saver.

And if you never save energy, you are not an energy saver.

The conclusion? You are what you constantly do.

PS: “You” = “me”.

On Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win – Jocko Willink , Leif Babin

Extereme ownership

I liked the book Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win: 9781250067050: Willink, Jocko, Babin, Leif: Books.

The main idea I took out of it? You are responsible for the success of any task, any project, any life. Even if at times external factors can interfere, you are 100% responsible for the success in your life.

Quite a nice idea!
