The practicing daily I think has been going less than ok cuz I’ve been skipping most days to practice. Nothing bad has happened to me like say a stroke or a bad medical problem that prevents me from doing it. I think I’m procrastinating on it, but I can’t put my finger on what and why.
I like that it feels more automatic trying to type since starting practice. One way it’s more automatic is that I don’t have to think a whole lot about the arrangement of the keys when I start. I like that I’m taking less effort to type not just the speed of it.
I’m thinking probably the time of typing practice(10 mins) may be a factor about why I’m skipping days. 10 mins doesn’t sound so bad tho. I could try doing 5 mins instead, but I don’t know if that’s going to fix me wanting to type every day.
I think it has something to do with the process of practicing typing like there is something that I don’t agree about it or don’t like.
Mistyping a word when practicing I notice makes me kind of mad but also makes me worried about my method of practice(like it doesn’t really work). Sometimes I think there are just unavoidable mistakes when typing and that makes me question if what I’m doing to practice even is working or helping.
I do like the idea that on average we make a certain amount of errors and that’s just normal cuz we don’t have a skill all figured out and practiced yet. I think that helps my thinking when I mistype.
I don’t think it’s probably a good idea to just do the same thing (10 mins a day of monkeytype practice) and expect it to go differently. Maybe a brainstorm will help? I’ll try to think of something to do next

I’ve been typing off and on. I’ve typed for half of the last 16 days since I posted. Making errors when I type doesn’t seem so bad like it used to. Something like >95% accuracy looks way better than >90% accuracy.

The typing has going better than before like it’s been more consistent. I was thinking instead of “just practicing” like I usually do what if you could use problem solving when you type to help you get better.
Like sometimes when I press a key twice on accident I see that it can happen when I hold too long on the key or it happens when I want to press a key but I hesitate and end up pressing it twice. I think there’s solutions to those problems, but the solutions aren’t super easy to get to.

Typing has been going ok. I’ve been typing for 30 mins daily now. Im doing that cuz I want to get more practice. Some thoughts from practicing since last week:
I like typing fast cuz you can see how the little workers in your subconsious work to do things for you as you go
I like the idea of slowing down cuz you could train the workers to perfect their skills so you don’t have to manage them so much
I like the idea of speeding up when typing cuz your consciousness or the boss can get experience on how to manage the workers in a faster way
Dealing with messing up keystrokes feels kind of bad still, but I notice messing up keystrokes doesn’t happen the same way every time.
Sometimes it happens cuz a finger goes to press a key but doesn’t actually do it. It’s like a ghost finger
Sometimes messing up happens when thinking too much about messing up. It’s easier to manage negative thoughts like those when typing slower
I try not to focus too much on making mistakes cuz trying to be perfect all the time doesn’t sound good. I want to focus on the learning that sounds more important.
I wanted to make a comment on someone’s tutoring topic, but i cant tell if it’s just helpful thoughts and analysis and not making requests to the students or telling them what to do or think.

That’s interesting, I’ve dealt with something similar. Like grammar seems like a cool subject to study and something a philosopher would do. But later on I find out there’s small things I don’t like about it, for example, dealing with prepositions and defining words. Idk if that happens to you, but I find out the things I don’t like about an activity and it makes me wonder if the activity is too hard for me.
What i like doing is practicing a single skill like defining words or typing cuz the activity doesn’t change much and it doesnt get variably harder like you dont have to keep using different skills to learn the subject. You can keep revisiting the same skill and get slightly better over time.
I also like practicing single skills cuz I get to use some of the CF suggested tools like trees or posting on the forum and get practice with those too. So that way it’s not far off from doing philosophy learning.
Is there statistical fluctuations with wanting to post? Like some days one wont want to and if one skips days cuz theyre allowed to then theyre not taking the fluctuation into account. Like now, the wanting to post has to make a perfect 5 posts a week or it falls behind.
I dont get how this one is not a good idea. Is it cuz one would try to post 5 things a week and maybe get it done early. If they get it done early and take a long break their goal of posting 5 times a week is not as intuitive as before.
To me this thinking would get in the way of posting like regular. Like what if u already got a habit of checking the forum and post or reply to something u like. If u thought the quote above, thatll get in the way of posting like usual
Ok i did some practice problems by asking chatgpt for some problems to practice. I checked my own solutions n asked it to see if it got the same solutions. i know sometimes the LLM’s can get things wrong tho.
I thought the tables were to help one break apart the longer expressions and make it simpler to make a truth table out of them.
I think the tables are for listing out the possible answers for the expression. Since the first expression doesn’t start with 1’s and 0’s but with variables that means there’s idk multiple inputs for those variables. Since there’s more than one input for those variables that means there’s going to be multiple answers.
Wait I found it. The quote just says to make sure that any info outputted by the AI should be labeled. I think that’s if the output is posted on the forum
If you’re paraphrasing AI, or repeating facts you got from AI, you should also disclose. If you’re just using AI as a helper, it’s more of a judgment call how relevant the AI is. Double checking your facts (or spelling or grammar) with AI, and the AI says you’re right so you don’t change any facts (or just minor spelling/grammar changes), is no big deal, and not required to mention.
For not(and(x,y) i got the same answer as @Eternity.
I don’t think I get this fully, but I think I can try to break it down.
Breakdown:
“Giving”- I think means to hand over or idk deliver
“operator”-means operators like and, not, or
“an operator”- means i think not any specific operator. There’s no specific operator that’s being talked about. Makes the sentence sound like a rule or observation.
“multiple”- means more than 1 or a lot. I think it means more than 1
“inputs”- mean the numbers you fill in for letters like x or y. For logic tables we’re talking about 0 or 1. The inputs could also be true or false
“identical”- means equal so for logic tables we’re talking about 1’s and 0’s. If both x and y(e.g. in or(x,y)) have an input of 1 then their inputs are identical.
“tends”- i thnk means can like there could be exceptions. Idk i think tends is saying, “usually this happens.”
“to be”- i think is another way of saying “is” so “Giving an operator multiple identical inputs” is something else.
“special case”- idk what that means but I think i have more of an idea what the quote is trying to say.
BTW the following sentence of the quote I think gives an example of what it’s saying:
I just checked @Eternity 's work and it looks like i didn’t do the truth tables separately. I tried separately and got this:
x
or(x,x)
1
1
0
0
I looked at @Eternity 's comparison a little bit. I forgot to make one. Here imma try:
For both tables when x is true the output is true. Both tables take in inputs. Idk what else. Both tables have a zero as an output. You can substitute y with x’s value when both x and y are true. For both tables even though you have different variables we still get the same output: 1 or 0
Oh cool I didn’t see that they’re the same. I didn’t see that or(x,y) is the same as or(y,y). Makes more sense seeing that when the x and y represent the same thing the funcitons? are the same
I don’t know what special case means(i looked at two dictionaries for a little bit). My first thought is that special case means something different that happens from the usual. Like, functions with the same inputs have the same outputs as functions with one variable. That doesn’t happen if the inputs are different for a function.
Oh can I describe functions like or(x x) as a function that only takes one input? that makes sense
