Wow, all I can think is how exceptionally lucky these kids are to be taught these concepts/exposed to these problems at such a young age by a willing and enthusiastic teacher. Most people professionally employed as K-12 math teachers wouldn’t even be able to teach this kind of curriculum well. I looked at the author’s blog history to find out if they were doing this for some huge amount of money and found a blog that suggests not only were they doing it for free (skimmed it, but didn’t see any reference to pay) but they had to try to convince other parents to let their kids participate! https://buttondown.email/j2kun/archive/a-foray-into-math-cir...

In my opinion, there is a relatively unknown (to those outside mathematics) huge “privilege” gap in mathematics education that makes it so those that only follow a cookie standard or accelerated curriculum are relatively unprepared for careers in mathematics compared to those tutored (or taught in special magnet programs, or by their mathematician parents) in these kinds of non-standard-curriculum concepts from a young age. Mostly, the problem is that the standard curriculum is almost purely rote-computational until you become a college ~Sophomore and it abruptly changes to being open ended and proof-based (which is the world most pro mathematicians live in) requiring skills in creatively applying logic. So students with this kind of exposure from a young age have a much easier transition to that while also scooping up all the math-career-builders like early papers and contest wins on the way.

Those other parents probably don’t know this but OP is providing an immensely valuable service that is hard to find in some areas and which some parents would pay a huge amount of money for.

Super happy Obsidian Sync user here. I migrated over from Notion, here are the areas where Obsidian blows Notion out of the water:

- Insanely low input lag especially on mobile. Obsidian is FAST. When i'm out and about checking my shopping list, I have a tolerance for maybe 250ms of lag. That's it. You need to show me my data FAST. Notion is a basically a webapp which simply doesn't compete, asks you to re-login constantly. YOU DO NOT ASK A MOBILE USER to RELOGIN.

- Read-only mode: accidental taps instead of scrolls on mobile are a HUGE issue on Notion, especially when you're out and you're in a stressful situation and you need your notes fast. You can not afford an accidental edit. And you simply don't have to focus to carefully touch your smartphone to distinguish swipes from touches. Notion developers just don't get this. With Obsidian, when i'm ouside, i'm most likely in Read-only mode. You can still check checkboxes when in read-only mode, and that's perfect for a shopping list workflow.

- Standard format (markdown). I had tried for some time to automate my Notion backups and it just wasn't possible. With Obsidian, I have no issue using proprietary software because the backing store is Markdown. It integrates nicely with my storage practices. My obsidian files are backed up hourly to my rsync.net account which has 48 hourly snapshots. If I accidentally overwrite something 16 hours ago, I can recover it.

As long as Obsidian meets those 3 checkboxes for me, I'm happy to pay $10/month, $20/month, $30/month, whatever.

Actually, quite the opposite. People with high "EQ" are particularly sensitive to the discomfort invoked in individuals by hamfisted attempts at generating group conformity. But it's wonderful to have your emotional intelligence insulted while your intellect is under assault.

One way you know you're in a cult and being manipulated is that you or someone else is being singled out as an example of someone who's unwilling to adhere to whatever ridiculous stunt they're being asked to perform. The person asking them to do it is usually a psychopath using the oldest trick in the book: The ability to manipulate people by leveraging the innate human need for approval from the group.

And it's always those with emotional intelligence who are singled out for abuse. Of course, the psychopaths running the experiment also have "high EQ" - of a very particular and malevolent sort.

Rating: Cheap trick, poorly executed. 2/5. And not nice.

in my short 4 month internship in Seattle I have had two bad experiences (among others)

1. Some woman starts yelling at me saying I am a foreigner (I am, but I am more Canadian than anything else). She gets louder and louder and tells me that I am probably a visa student and that I’ll be deported when my studies are done. She went around the entire bus making derogatory comments about them (I.e. what are you doing with that white bitch to an interracial couple)

2. A woman accuses me of being a North Korean spy on the bus (she says I have the nose of a North Korean). I exit the bus because she is increasingly hostile. I get off the bus. She follows me 4 blocks to my apartment, trying to get the red blooded Americans to catch the North Korean spy.

Can you see how some folks would prefer to drive?

That's a strawman.

The steelman version is something like the following chain of reasoning: (a) gender identity is something that everyone has that is distinct from sex, (b) with enough introspection, everyone can discover their true gender identity, (c) if you don't have a strongly felt gender identity, you need to introspect, (d) if introspection does not yield certainty then this suggests genderfluidity, or even worse that puberty ought be delayed until certainty is achieved.

Or how about: an AMAB child playing with a Barbie doll often is strongly suggestive that he might actually be trans.

Or how about: values like "being on time" or believing that a math problem has one correct answer are inherently white supremacist and racist.

etc.
Is the lack of mentioning Apple deliberate? It seems like they've already poured a lot of R&D into this for the Vision Pro, which might be exactly the kind of thing the friend needs.

very helpful, I probably will stick with NXP chips then(its software seems updated fairly often and its chips are usually solid) instead of TI's, after all TI pretty much left the ARM chip space comparing to other larger ARM chip vendors. For NXP's imx6/7/8 I wish there were similar open source communities as RPi and Beagle board have, there are a few commercial i.mx vendors but not a well known open one for NXP, which is unfortunate.

This is such an annoying blanket statement. Yes, hotels are the best option in larger cities for short term stays, but as soon as you plan to stay for a few weeks or months and need a kitchen, and want to live relatively close to a local life, airbnb is the best route with the most options.

Except that in regular school, if you want your kids to learn math, depending of the state you're in, you may be just out of luck.
You make some good points but "The parent is the person most able to accurately assess their child’s needs" feels like a really strong claim to make without any support. Evaluating a child's needs can really require the opinion of an expert and potentially require testing to evaluate things like learning disabilities or identify what the child is good at. I think it's reasonable to say that the final decision on a child's education belongs to the parent, but that doesn't mean they're actually a domain expert on parenting or education just because they had a kid. Becoming an educator requires lots of study.

My two siblings and I all dealt with different individual educational challenges and it was way beyond the ability of an ordinary parent - even well-educated ones like my parents - to be able to fully understand what was going on with us and how best to address it, so they had to bring in qualified experts to help figure stuff out. "everything begins and ends with the parent" is an opinion I've seen quite a few times and it really does not hold up from my PoV.

I can imagine maybe the majority of homeschooled children are "ordinary" with no unusual challenges, and in that case educating them at home (or at a trusted friend's home) is not a problem. But how many people are truly ordinary? Disabilities are way more common than most people think - depending on the statistics you trust, 10-25% of adults have some sort of disability.
I was told thought public school was invented, not to instruct, not to educate but to emancipate kids. Giving them a chance to see the world from a different perspective from their family. One might call it endoctrinement, yes, but if you are confronted to two concurrent belief systems, you are more likely to see them for what they are.
I can't disagree with almost anything you said except maybe one thing: in the physical nature there are objective and physical criteria about whether a certain organism will procreate and thus propagate its (presumably) successful genes.

Not sure if the AI area, represented by human supervisors, does so in such an objective and ruthless manner as nature does.

If there's no fitness function and natural selection then the AI area might be doomed to meander and go in circles for centuries.
I strongly agree with all your criticisms and factual assertions, but I think all your predictions are likely to end up being wrong.

I'm not sure why you are attacking the guy personally and saying he lives in an echo chamber. All he did is say that you can't demand anything of the guy as he has not obligation to do anything. That's in the agreement that you agree to when using the software.

He's free to tank his own project and you are free to use it, fork it, or not. He's allowed to be an ego maniac if he wants or do things in ways you disagree with. You got what he made for free, so why you want to demand things of him is beyond me.
FWIW, there's another video[0] on M. Penn's channel about it, but members only (I'm merely subscribed, so I don't know if they are related); it's pleasant to have that kind of high-quality content so easily available. Hard to watch everything he publishes: he's rather productive...

I've stumbled upon the video about the new "definition" of a derivative a few hours ago too; would definitely not have thought of doing it this way.

But as others have noted in the comments, a reason why it may not be so popular as the usual ones, is the difficulty to generalize it. Still happy to know about it.

There are approaches to add "memory" to LLMs. Either the memory can be used to find relevant information and append it to the prompt - I believe LangChain can do this - or the LLM can be used as a controller to retrieve and store information in a database, for example by using ChatGPT's tool integration. I don't think it works amazingly, but purely technically you could argue that gives it access to unbounded external storage.

I don't think an LLM can be considered as capable of becoming an AGI on its own with the current architecture, but potentially combined with other techniques, models and supervision, I can see the potential for it to evolve in that direction. Frankly, for what LLMs are right now, they're _surprisingly_ effective. If you chopped the Broca's area out of my brain and hooked it up to an API, I suspect it wouldn't do half as good of a job.
Yeah, what? "If it contains a finite amount of information then it isn't AI"? Is this the moving goalposts' final form?
It's not available yet. And in any case if this is the future there should be multiple companies doing it, not just Apple.
>Of course it can be sold. To someone else who wants to run a mom-and-pop operation.

It's a small market of people who are just rich enough to buy that business, don't have another job already and don't mind working that business. And that market is already filled pretty well by franchises. It's not impossible to sell the business obviously but if they were only making eg. 100k a year there is really no market for buyers for that because if you need to take out a big loan to buy it you might make nothing and if you can afford it you have better options. It's more common in these cases from my anecdotal experience, especially for something like a restaurant, that whoever buys it will restart the business completely with a new sign, menu, ect. after the last one shuts down. This is especially true in big cities where the owners usually lease the shop. What do they really have? Why would I buy a sign and menu from them for x hundred thousand dollars if I have another option?
UK and Ireland (as we copy a lot from the UK) spaces are ridiculously small. Average cars struggle to fit. Big cars / SUVs must be a nightmare to park. Not sure why car park designers don't have one less space per row, and make every space those few valuable cm wider.

> One concern I have is that, every time he talks about the maintenance roles, I'm automatically thinking it's unglamorous, and marking a career plateau (perhaps decline).

For the rare and lucky few, it could be a stepping stone to product development. However, I've never seen someone jump from product development to a maintenance role. I think most developers would view it as a demotion and be insulted by it.

> including making a case for why their comp should track with some of the new-product-star people.

Never. The development team knows far more about the product and the business aspect of it than the maintenance team. If there is an issue that maintenance cannot handle, they reach out to the development team for a reason.

>I rationalized that it could be accomplished with people at each location, each with a sundial, making records of shadow length, and later comparing their measurements, but it still seemed like a messy explanation.

I'd like to know how ancient people figured out how to make a sundial. They need to point the stick called a gnomon north if they're in the northern hemisphere or south if in the south. Not just pointed an old way it needs to be tilted at the angle according to their latitude it's not just a vertical stick in the ground.

> The drama seems to always come from the rust evengelists, that won’t accept someone who don’t agree c++ should be banned and rust is the savior language…

This. This is what I find baffling that somebody can believe in. Every community has the 0.1% of insufferable zealots and Rust is no exception.

I worked with absolutely brilliant Rust programmers that made me question if I know anything at all about programming in general -- and I have 21.5 years of experience.

I keep seeing your sentiment expressed in a number of Rust threads which becomes more and more confusing with time because I scarcely see anyone at all advocate zealously for Rust but I am seeing plenty of people like you who keep insisting that Rust fans are torturing them. :D

It gets funny at one point.

I mean, try to be more data-driven. Scan the last 5 big Rust threads and just try to do basic sentiment analysis. I have, and I am mostly seeing very balanced and curious debates. I haven't noticed any zealotry. Last time I noticed people being as annoying was I think somewhere back in 2018.

This sounds nice, but there's a huge correlation between belief systems of a family and those of their surrounding culture, and therefore those present at school.

If someone were instead to home-school their children, and use that as an opportunity to show their children different systems in different parts of their country or world, I think that would be far more effective.
