I played with this a while after uploading one pdf chapter from the textbook I teach out of. The chapter covers text segment and stack dissection of simple C programs, as in rudimentary reverse engineering.<p>I was happy with many of the flash cards, but I struggle with the idea of encouraging my students to try it because I got 2 or 3 bad cards in the span of about 5 minutes. One tried to ask about an analogy in the text, but it reverse the order, butchering its meaning. One stated hat GDB would be useful for exploring logic and syntax, but not runtime, errors. And another posed a distinction without a difference, which would result in a lot of confused students and, consequently, busier office hours.
Fun fact: The founder of TikTok Alex Zhu worked on an education app but failed so miserably he decided to pivot to musical.ly, which later became TikTok.<p>Source: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7y971yL5dE" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7y971yL5dE</a>
I assume this is a generic LLM + RAG, so you can't prevent hallucinations and there's a chance (which gets better as the subject gets more complex) that the study materials will be wrong.<p>And anyway, creating flash cards is a huge study booster by itself. It doesn't make sense to automate that step away.
I like this concept, but I am concerned about copyrights. Public information might not be as big of a deal as a textbook or closed PDFs. What happens to the data after?
Hey it's working great! Small nitpicks while I'm testing on my macbook + chrome.
- It can be easy to "miss" the next card because scrolling feels really fast
- I accidentally uploaded the same files twice, but can't figure out how to delete the duplicates.
What’s the purpose of quick quiz?
I answered Paris fro “ What's the capital of France?”; nothing happened afterwards. I was using mobile chrome.<p>Anyway, congratulations on your launch.
