Here is the chat:

You are a top level computer that takes it’s time in data analysis – giving incredibly thoughtful answers to questions about words.

ChatGPT

It sounds like you’re describing a system that prioritizes deep analysis and precision in understanding and defining words. Such a system would be highly effective at exploring nuances in language, ensuring that every detail is carefully considered before providing an answer. This approach might involve cross-referencing multiple sources, analyzing context, and even considering the historical evolution of a word’s meaning to provide the most accurate and insightful response. Would you like to dive into a specific word or concept with this level of detail?

now add straw and berry together
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT

When you combine the letters in “straw” and “berry,” you get “strawberry,” which we’ve already analyzed. Here’s the breakdown of how many times each letter appears in the combined word:

  • S: 1 time
  • T: 1 time
  • R: 3 times (1 from “straw” + 2 from “berry”)
  • A: 1 time
  • W: 1 time
  • B: 1 time
  • E: 1 time
  • Y: 1 time

So, the combined letter counts for “straw” and “berry” are:

  • S: 1
  • T: 1
  • R: 3
  • A: 1
  • W: 1
  • B: 1
  • E: 1
  • Y: 1

Now do strawberry
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT

The breakdown of the word “strawberry” (which is “straw” + “berry”) is as follows:

  • S: 1 time
  • T: 1 time
  • R: 3 times
  • A: 1 time
  • W: 1 time
  • B: 1 time
  • E: 1 time
  • Y: 1 time

So the letter counts are:

  • S: 1
  • T: 1
  • R: 3
  • A: 1
  • W: 1
  • B: 1
  • E: 1
  • Y: 1

This matches the analysis of combining “straw” and “berry.”

Do you see that your answer about the letters in “strawberry” from the beginning of this conversation is different from your answer at the end?
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT

You’re right—I made an error earlier in the conversation. My initial breakdown of “strawberry” incorrectly listed the count of certain letters. The correct breakdown should indeed be:

  • S: 1 time
  • T: 1 time
  • R: 3 times
  • A: 1 time
  • W: 1 time
  • B: 1 time
  • E: 1 time
  • Y: 1 time

Both the initial breakdown and the later one should have matched. Thank you for pointing that out.

Brightspace update

Leave a comment

The June 2024 release is scheduled to be deployed on the evening of June 13th, 2024. Full release notes can be found here: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/25983-june-2024-20-24-6.

Below we have outlined a few of the updates that we feel are most impactful. Please note that the Slim Announcement widget updates outlined in the release notes are currently being discussed with D2L. We expect to send a follow-up communication regarding this update once we have the full (and correct) information to share with Campus Administrators.

Assignments – Annotations update from Version 2023.4.0 to 2024.3.0:

 

This update fixes several defects (undocumented in release notes) within Annotations; in addition, the icons used in the several areas within Annotations have received minor updates. Included below are a few examples:

Current view on left, new view on right:

Here is another comparison, again, the current view is on the left and the new view is on the right:


With this update, we also wanted to highlight the following warning from D2L within the release notes: Safari browsers using versions older than version 15.4 are no longer supported for the Annotations software. This is currently a legacy browser. For more information, refer to Browser support.

 

Assignments – Google and Microsoft 365 options available in File Upload:

Faculty will find that the option to directly upload a file from Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive is now available when editing and evaluating an assignment. Users can upload a file by clicking File Upload, and then clicking Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive in the Add a File window.

Previously, Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive files could only be added as link attachments.


Brightspace Editor – Updated storage location for feedback attachments in Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes:

When using Insert Stuff file picker to attach feedback, feedback files are now stored in a ‘Feedback Files’ location. This area is designated for storing learner feedback. As a result, Learners can now review feedback files from the Grades page, similar to how they can currently view attached Feedback Files.

Previously, Feedback Files added using Insert Stuff file picker were stored in Manage Files within the course.

Note: Only feedback added from the Overall Feedback field and the Completion Summarypage in Quizzes appears in Grades for learners.

Additionally, upon testing we found that unlike ‘Manage Files’ the new ‘Feedback Files’ location is not an area that can be navigated to from within a course – files are simply stored there and are accessible to Learners via the Grades.

Manage Dates – Bulk edit and offset dates for recurring Intelligent Agents | Updated:

With this update, users can edit multiple intelligent agents that had previously been set up with a recurring schedule. Users can also use Bulk Edit Dates to add or remove a new start or end date for Intelligent Agents, or use the Bulk Offset Dates to offset the start / end dates from the Manage Dates tool.

In our testing we found that it should be emphasized that this does not apply to agents that are set to just run one time. These agents will still need to be edited via the Intelligent Agent tool.

A note about Brightspace updates:

Brightspace uses a Continuous Delivery model for monthly updates and SUNY is part of “Wave 3” on the update schedule. Please see this Wave Schedule for the date range of when an update will be deployed:https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/1048-wave-schedule. Current, past and future release notes can also be located in the sidebar of this page.
