It happened to me: a student referred to an event that happened “in the late 1900s”

scottearle,
@scottearle@poorlyrendered.com avatar

@tiffanycli it’s got to happen eventually. When I think of “the twenties”, I think of flappers, the Charleston, suffragettes, art deco and the Great Depression. But no, that’s now.

And when people say “at the turn of the century”, I still think of 1900/1901. But the turn of the century was 2000/2001 - twenty three years ago

@dutchking @tiffanycli that is probably a factor too. I was born in 1965, so the “roaring 20s” were not that long ago when I was born

@micke @tiffanycli “well actually” … since years start at 1 (there is no year zero), make that 1901-2000 or 1801-1900 (the 21st century started on 2001-01-01)

Achievement unlocked, rolled a virtual dice with my hands.

A pair of hands made of bananas pick up a giant D20 and throw it, in VR.

@jamesthomson A. Virtual. Dice.

If you're curious about the current state of cleaning up an AI transcript, here's the diff from the latest Apple results call. (I ended up finishing about 10 minutes behind live.)

Takeaways: Machine transcription is vastly better than it used to be (especially with things like numbers), but there are still hallucinations and misunderstandings. But it sure beats what I used to do, which was literally type every word that was said.

@jsnell I’m still envious of people who can touch type

@lexgames I imagine the “I didn’t solve it” use case doesn’t come up a lot ;)

@lexgames Feature request: on Conlexions, could you please put a “clear” button below? To deselect any selected items. Thanks!

@lexgames I know what you mean. Or you could clear them after submission like in the web app - but I do prefer it not doing that
