To be fair, if you pay the repairman, your elevator also goes up :)
I think in general the model makers and to some extent their clients want a slightly higher pass rate over efficiency. This makes sense: for critical first week impressions clients notice pass rate much more, and only…
Looks to be within the realm of natural variance expected from naturally variable models, ie error bars.
Another somewhat similar concept is how you can write Quarto markdown notebooks and have them output a RevealJS slideshow
Oh very interesting, I didn’t realize I should probably be using Fable Medium more than High, due to how that curve and the cost looks!
Beat me to it. The Wikipedia page for example looks like an advertisement for tutoring firms, and when you dig into the sources, it’s pretty oversold
I really never thought it would come up in a HN thread but I’m actually working on a modified version of Anki as a personal project (not quite ready yet though, but will open source probably in a few weeks) where…
The tricky question at the forefront of education research is, at least in my mind, trying to thread the needle between effective techniques that students don’t like, ineffective techniques that students do like, and…
I think the book Superlearning just gives the simple rule that you should spend 10% of your budgeted time on meta concerns (what to learn, what order, what strategies to use, etc) and that’s always seemed a sensible,…
Except the same companies have shown (see: closure of the DS online storefront) it's still an issue, just 20 years delayed instead of 10. Sure, it's better, but it's not good. I'll still take it of course, but we need…
It didn't stop all of Facebook's behavior, far from it, but we did get to see Zuckerberg hauled in front of Senate committees multiple times (who we do vote for). This has never happened in China, and will never happen,…
Has anyone created a tool for easily doing this? Imagine if all the Virginia Guiffres of the world created crypto-provable diaries they could later reveal.
Bombs are a bit of a non sequitur here. The point is that Chinese companies are demonstrably hostile to American ones historically (and threatening in some specific structural ways to the American consumer). The…
Yes you can! Well, mostly, depends on how pedantic you are with definitions: you can transplant layers but not weights, which in common parlance are conceptually similar. But usually it isn’t a good idea for a few…
It might be irrational but ticks terrify me (grew up in the Northwest where they aren’t so much a thing) and make me want to avoid moving to the East entirely
If they have a year sub, then yes I agree (even if it’s implicitly always part of the risk of buying so far in advance) but if they are month to month this position is absolutely nonsensical.
To be fair, the US has long followed a model prioritizing district-level control, this isn’t anything new.
It’s not just critical thinking skills, it’s also that there’s a big difference between recognition/following instructions, and recall/generating your own memories of an approach. But most students don’t recognize the…
If I've observed anything about humanity, it's that feeling out of control or that we are subject to randomness is something we absolutely hate, both on an individual and societal level. The easiest way out of it is to…
Computers and improvements in data science/machine learning are basically the entire explanation. A LOT of the techniques that we use today to de-anonymize data require computation power not previously available. Even…
Right. For those who didn’t catch the text between the lines, it’s because terminal phase precision guidance is basically the same tech as smart bombs.
That’s not even factually true. Turnout in 2024 was 63.7%[1] of the voting age population. You’re just wrong. [1] https://ballotpedia.org/Election_results,_2024:_Analysis_of_...
All good examples but all relatively low cost as well (and don’t require 1:1 student-laptops). However I’m pretty darn sure that videos do more harm than good - too easy to zone out during them, and providing them to…
> So I guess I would like to see a language neutral notebook platform with pluggable kernels. Doesn’t this already exist? .QMD files (Quarto Markdown) allow you to mix and match languages in code cells and is platform…
… or generate twice as many images. Maybe not quite, but if we’ve seen anything with AI so far is that it fits Parkinson’s law pretty well.
