ChatGPT's Study Mode will guide students to an answer stey by step

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-23 10:06:14

OpenAI is rolling out a new Study Mode the company says is designed to give students a better understanding of complex topics. Like Claude's Learning Mode , which Anthropic introduced in April, Study Mode will see ChatGPT adopt a Socratic approach to conversations. Rather than answer a question outright, the chatbot will attempt to guide the user to their own solution, starting with questions that allow the system to calibrate its responses to their objective and understanding.

Why CI/CD Still Doesn't Include Continuous Documentation?

news.ycombinator.com Neel Das 2026-01-23 10:45:42

In my 15+ years as a developer, one of the most persistent headaches I’ve seen across teams is outdated documentation. I’ll admit it, I’ve shipped features and moved on without updating the docs. A month later, a new teammate is onboarding or someone is debugging an issue, and they run into a README or guide that no longer reflects reality. It’s frustrating for them and embarrassing for us. I’m certainly not alone in this habit. Maintaining documentation is often the last thing on a developer’

Avast Ye Hearties: HBO Is Auctioning Off ‘Our Flag Means Death’ Booty

Over two seasons, Our Flag Means Death gathered a passionate fan base as it carved out a truly unique corner of television. Part pirate adventure and part workplace comedy, it was stuffed with standout characters and heartfelt queer romance. It also offered a perfect balance of earnestness and irreverence. Suffice to say, it’s been very missed since HBO cancelled it and it was unable to find a new outlet. With the Our Flag Means Death banner lowered for good, that means the next step in saying

ChatGPT’s new Study Mode is designed to help you learn, not just give answers

The rise of large language models like ChatGPT has led to widespread concern that "everyone is cheating their way through college," as a recent New York magazine article memorably put it. Now, OpenAI is rolling out a new "Study Mode" that it claims is less about providing answers or doing the work for students and more about helping them "build [a] deep understanding" of complex topics.

Samsung DeX in One UI 8 has a hidden ‘Immersive’ mode for true full screen

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-23 15:33:17

TL;DR Samsung’s new DeX in One UI 8 has a hidden “Immersive” mode that enables a true full screen experience, hiding the app header and taskbar. To enable it, you must first maximize an app, then long-press the same maximize button to reveal a hidden menu with the “Immersive” option. This unintuitive method initially led users to believe the full screen feature was removed. Samsung made some big changes to DeX in its latest One UI 8 release.
