That Gemini 2.5 one is impressive. I found it interesting that the blog post didn't mention Gemini 2.5 at all. Okay, it was released pretty recently, but 10 days seems like enough time to run the benchmarks, so maybe the results make

That's definitely not flipped classroom. In flipped classroom students read or watch videos before class, then work on problems interactively in class. The concepts are introduced in the readings and videos, not in the problems.

Or you could spend 5 minutes in TamperMonkey and replace the button with a working one. 10 minutes if you want to hide the other upselling interface elements. I pretty often make little fixes to websites I use. It's quite satisfying.
