The problem is that the well is poisoned. There are so many people abusing your caveats above that using them can lead to harm. This is well examined in Thank You for Smoking : the main character weaponizes “just stating his opinion” and

We don’t need hardware to make this possible. We need very well designed content - lessons and software - to drive equity in education. The web can do the rest. Every day more and more of the world gets connected to the web - the screen the

While I loved the idea of the Primer, I think one of the themes of the book was that it actually couldn’t work fully with just AI. All the children who end up “exceptional” (eg not just part of the mouse army) actually had a human tutor beh

Low carb diets seem to be a key component of curbing metabolic syndrome, but it’s really never as simple as “diet and exercise…keep doing it”. For some bodies, the amount of diet and exercise needed to avoid metabolic diseases is so high th

The issue is time scales. Plastics take thousands of years to degrade but we only really use plastic products for a few years. What can we find that hits a sweet spot of, say, 10 years? Wood does this well, and it’s mostly cellulose. So is

Some of these people were really good actors then? There were definitely some videos with exaggerated responses but there were several that I have a hard time believing weren’t authentic.

We could really use a good analysis of this topic though. Despite my research I can’t find any decent research on this subject. Do you know of any?

I’m with you on this generally, and I’m glad Indiana included a means test. But I’m not sold that a shift to voucher systems more broadly will include means tests.

Surprisingly, there’s evidence that paying teachers more does lead to better teachers. It makes the jobs more competitive, causing an increase in the qualifications and expertise needed to land a job.

Small class size helps but you still need a good teacher.

One issue is that good quality education isn’t linear in cost. A school with 5 students may have lower overhead but will lack amenities that enable better learning, eg athletic infrastructure, libraries, etc. We provide public versions of t

That’s good for Indiana if true. What about other places? My understanding was that many voucher proposals did not have income caps.

The market has plenty of evidence that better education leads to significant economic benefit[0]. Specifically, high quality education, which requires highly trained teachers, leads to higher economic growth (0.63 percentage points per half

More specifically, teaching is a different skill than knowing. Excellent math teachers are very different than math majors - in some ways it’s less complex (eg pushing the boundaries of the field of mathematics), and in others it is far mor

The more I read, the more I feel like this is actually a well written piece on why capitalism is causing an apocalypse. Every time the author references AI - that it’s out of control, that it’s influencing major portions of society, that it

Very cool - I have a homegrown setup where a script scans my iCloud audio notes directory and generates transcriptions for any new notes. Works like a charm.

Yes, capital hill is great. Check out grocery stores in Columbia City, Rainier Beach, and lots of neighborhoods in north Seattle.

In my experience, those areas exist but are disconnected, expensive, and still primarily car-centric.

There are dozens of pockets of streets with no sidewalks that seem safe until you find that they are significant overflow routes (of which there are many given Seattle’s various traffic struggles)

Incredible analysis! As a Seattleite I can say the conclusions here are very close to accurate, with the key additional note being that distance is not the only thing that defines walkability. Seattle has some of the most confounding civil

Seattle has a mix of these. In my neighborhood, the closest supermarket has a gigantic parking lot. I never think of walking there.
