Hi everybody, prlease start skywriting on "What is computation". You can base it on some of the links or even on asking ChatGPT. Skies should be short, a paragraph of about 100 words. They can be comments or questions. But they're meant to prove to me that you've done the reading and some thinking, And always read the skies in the same thread that appeared before yours, so you don't just say the same thing someone else has already posted. Your sky, however, can be a reply to what someone else has posted. It can also be on something said in my preceding lecture. But the lectures are always one week behind the skies.
ReplyDelete**BLOGGER BUG**: ONCE THE NUMBER OF COMMENTS REACHES 200 OR MORE {see the count, at the beginning of the commentaries] YOU CAN STILL MAKE COMMENTS, BUT TO SEE YOUR COMMENT AFTER YOU HAVE PUBLISHED IT YOU NEED TO SCROLL DOWN TO ALMOST THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE and click: “Load more…”

Load more…

After 200 has been exceeded EVERYONE has to scroll down and click “Load more” each time they want to see all the posts (not just the first 200), and they also have to do that whenever they want to add another comment or reply after 200 has been exceeded.
If you post your comment really late, I won’t see it, and you have to email me the link so I can find it. Copy/Paste it from the top of your published comment, as it appears right after your name, just as you do when you email me your full set of copy-pasted commentaries before the mid-term and before the final.

WEEK 5: Week 5 is an important week and topic. There is only one topic thread, but please read at least two of the readings, and do at least two skies. I hope Week 5 will be the only week in which we have the 200+ overflow problem, because there are twice the usual number of commentaries: 88 skies + 88 skies + my 176 replies = 352!. In every other week it’s 2 separate topic threads, each with 88 skies plus my 88 replies (plus room for a few follow-ups when I ask questions.
