It's called UX Research.

I would try, for 10 minutes, the following solution: you listen to the lecture and repeat every word the lecturer said. Then use the record of your voice for the voice 2 text process. If it works, do it for the whole talk.

I asked gpt about the STAR format. The answer:

The STAR format is a structured manner of responding to a behavioral-based interview question by discussing the specific situation, task, action, and result of the situation you are describing. Here's what each component stands for:

1. *Situation*: Set the context for your story. Describe the event or situation that you were in. This could be from a previous job, from a volunteer experience, or any relevant event.

2. *Task*: After describing the situation, you talk about the actual task or challenge that was involved. This is the problem or issue that you were confronted with.

3. *Action*: Explain the actions you took to address the situation or task. This should be a detailed account of how you tackled the problem.

4. *Result*: Share the outcomes or results of the actions you took. Ideally, this should be a positive outcome that demonstrates how you effectively handled the situation.

Using the STAR format in a career document helps to clearly and effectively convey your accomplishments in a way that highlights your problem-solving and task management skills.

An e-bike would be the solution (not when it rains or snows, of course).

You are not alone in believing creative work and collaboration are much more difficult in a remote environment. But yesterday I watched the movie "A dangerous method" about Jung, Freud, and Sabina Spielrein. Well, at the time, collaboration was via paper mail. And my feeling is that they were more creative than we are. I'm not suggesting to go paper mail, but I couldn't help but observe this fact.

It's a little more nuanced. Causation can be inferred in an experimental design. If the researchers can manipulate the independent variable (the vaccine) using an experimental and a placebo group, and then they can measure a statistically (and clinically) significant difference, then we can assume that this is not just correlation.

> I don't think using intuitive associations with words helps clarify things Sincere question: do you think that "think using intuitive associations with words" can be safely translated to "compute using intuitive associations with words"? I don't think so. Therefore, even if thinking is also computing, reducing thinking to boolean algebra is a form of reductionism that ignores a number of emergent properties of (human) thinking.

Ux design is about doing research with the users, not about graphic design.
