Re:Learning Is Remembering on Wednesday September 28, 2022 @04:46AM (#33005759)
I think remembering is not the key to learning. Learning is understanding, in the sense mentioned in cloogschicer's comment + making connections with existing concepts: this is usually called "transfer". Transfer enables us to solve novel problems. Transfer is the real test, and probably the final goal, of learning.
It's a cool tool. But for serious learning, and from a more padegogical perspective, it's hard to tell when the AI starts to go off the rails.
If you want to quickly review fundamental stats, you can read: ThinkStats book.

After that, I'd recommend: Statistical models: Theory & Pratice by Freedman.

Re:I switched from macOS to Linux after 15 years of Apple on Saturday August 28, 2021 @08:43AM (#28337578)
I agree that there are many apps missing on Linux.

But that depends on the type of users: for devs & office workers, I think Google suite can replace MS Office and many Internet apps can help with many other types of everyday app that's available on Mac or Window.

"Would you like to not receive our newsletter?" - Super interesting.

Not sure if any real site actually writes so.
