building an education platform.

[Tobias @Tobiasbuildss]

Its actually crazy how computers went from terminals, to operating systems and now for a large part back to terminals. Yet the experience with each progression has been astounding.

@sundeep @elonmusk You can also go into the oceans. There are new power generators that create quite some power from waves. And with starlink you can connect them regardless.

And with the oversupply of container ships, you could even centralize your compute.

I like youtube as a resource and for kids to self explore. But there is to much bad content that will pull kids in. (And me). So I changed it.

In chrome extensions you have unhook. Wich let's you control yt features. No shorts, comments, next video and all that.

So get good subs in and your subs page the default. And your kid will be able to use yt on the web wile getting pushed to great content. Instead of the current experience

When I had a laptop in school, I alt tabbed in and out depending on where the teacher is. When I look at what kids do in classes now, its the same.

20 years ahead and the same problem exists.

That has nothing to do with the tech, but everything with implementations in schools

@dhh Use one handed operations and you can even remove the text selection. Makes it super clean and quick.

@KaelinHooper Regardless of where the economy goes, language is one of the most important skills in life.

it's linked to memory retrieval, it's internal dialogue. It's human.

Even if abundance for all becomes a thing, education is more than economic outcomes.

[Tobias @Tobiasbuildss]

@levelsio Why would people need convincing after: its taste bad.

[Tobias @Tobiasbuildss]

@dhh First time in ever that im exited by a software update😅

[Tobias @Tobiasbuildss]

My school is still paying for a curriculum every year. (Student write directly into the books, so its a yearly order). While the content barely changed in 50 years. 90% of the same.

Would it be a sin if I just distilled it and created a open-source version to self publish?

[Tobias @Tobiasbuildss]

@dhh Isnt it the same for Germany and france?

If your economy is not growing but government expenses are, with enough time, a world of pain is comming from everyone, except the people who leave.

[Tobias @Tobiasbuildss]

@levelsio Only if I can order them from the terminal

[Tobias @Tobiasbuildss]

@DanielLockyer Why search there? Let gpt just give you the click flow. Works really well

[Tobias @Tobiasbuildss]

@sundeep And not lying. It should be honest even or really difficult tasks. That still feels off sometimes.

[Tobias @Tobiasbuildss]

If the abundance from ai really is the outcome for everyone. I suspect that a lot more people will be spending time building stuff.

Because without economic incentives, and lots of free time.

Building is the most fun and meaningful way to spend it.

[Tobias @Tobiasbuildss]

If ai is going to make a difference in education. This shift should be it.

[jordwalke @jordwalke]

American life consists of 12(+ more) years of structured classes where we are “learning”. Then for the rest of our life we are “doing”.
And yet I’ve learned more from the “doing” life stage than I have from structured learning. Maybe it should all just be doing.

[Tobias @Tobiasbuildss]

@KaelinHooper Can we do a design competition?

[Tobias @Tobiasbuildss]

When teaching physical education, I often made my own apps. So if you get tagged, you need to do 3 math equations (or calculus) and then you get a clear that you can play again

I stopped it, because about 30% of kids liked it so much that they just wanted to get tagged instantly

[Tobias @Tobiasbuildss]

@typesfast It's already interesting that soon living an hour outside the city becomes the way to go. Since your living room will drive you to your destination regardless. Would love that future to play out

[Michael Pauleen @MichaelPauleen]

economists took one million kids' school records, waited for them to grow up, and pulled their tax returns. one teacher, one year, changed kids' lives forever:

1) replace a bottom-5% teacher with an average one and that classroom's lifetime earnings rise ~$250,000

[Tobias @Tobiasbuildss]

@BrettFromDJ Its also friction. Finding multiple products,comparing them, not knowing if its good, its oke, but not exactly fitting your usecase. But you need to pay before you can really find out.

While I can make it completely how I want in the same time period. Often less.
