You can experience this for two months every year as a teacher

@stevibe These kinds of demos make no sense. Why would you use ultra-cheap models like v4 flash or luna to one-shot this level of product? The point of these models is very efficiently solve tasks with limited scope, often paired with a more capable model, and acting only as a subagent.

The entire uber-date discourse is bait. Everything on this site in the gender wars is bait.

@martyrdison amazing bait

@Hammilionaire This is how it feels talking to a millennial

@orchid_hq In every way, this feels like the exact opposite of what AI should be used for

I wonder if in 2040 gen z will be nostalgic of 2022 pat mcafee clips once espn evolves into pure 24/7 sports betting and subway surfer-style dopamine entertainment

@sevlillies You're always on the outside looking in

@ryxcommar I think people people will only feel comfortable when they have so much money they don't know what to do with it.

@slugopolis To be clear, this was not a dive. He obviously got fouled. But he also accentuates the force of the foul with a full flip in the air.

[Alan @Nope_nope_yeah]

@slugopolis I think that's what makes the flop so well-executed. He easily could've taken the challenge and probably even remained on his feet, but he instead jumps at just the right moment to let Fernandez's momentum to spin him, exaggerating the foul's impact.

@PaulAnleitner It has to be the most imaginative movie ever made. Every time I watch it I just can't believe Nolan and his crew made it.

[Alan @Nope_nope_yeah]

We should of course use word, application, and challenge questions. But so often the quest to make math more relevant or applied to students is pure projection by adults (like so much of education).

[Alan @Nope_nope_yeah]

This idea comes and goes in education, with different names ("culturally relevant teaching" is the latest). But it doesn't work:

1) Too many topics at once. Think about teaching algebra + finance vs. algebra only; algebra is hard enough to learn without more topics added.

[Ari Wasserman @AriWasserman]

Instead of traditional math courses like geometry and algebra, all math courses should be about investing, interest, and real-life financial situations.

Instead of teaching calculus, teach kids how to calculate how much they'd make on a stock over X years at a 9 percent annual return, including compound interest and dividends.

[Alan @Nope_nope_yeah]

2) Students themselves seem to prefer pure math. My students often don't even like word problems. They like simple, abstract problems (e.g. "solve this equation") or routine, mechanistic problems. I have to convince them that financial applications are interesting/important.
