@zdch @smarick No but I want to.

@ianrtemple @smarick Really interesting. This something you’re working on?

In 10 years, we'll realize young adults can't read, write, or think as well as they should. We'll wonder how we allowed students to offload huge chunks of their learning to AI. Today we're just watching it happen. This is the most obvious unforced error of our time.

@zdch @smarick this EXACTLY. I’d argue we actually need different AI models or skins for learning. Models that ask questions of the user instead of reflexively answering them, or show possible pathways and give users choices instead of answers.

@smarick I do think there is a category distinction between AI in work and AI in learning, and we are shooting ourselves in the ass by not understanding the respective distinctions in mechanics.

@JackPittBrooke so so so dumb

45 minutes to remind you why you love football so much and now a reminder of what they've done to it.

man, football sometimes. those handball rules are sooooooo dumb. "Oh, the ball accidentally hits someone's hand nowhere near goal. Let's give the other team a goal in response."

@_adityasingh20 He’s great so much energy, but he also makes silly mistakes and I think that’s more dangerous at the start than the end of a game.

Btw, you cannot call yourself a professional football manager if you watched Spurs this season and think Mathys Tel doesn't deserve to start games. Scandalous if he doesn't from now on!

@simonyemane Is that the first time we’ve had positive xG differencein a game this year?

Soul-crushing end to the game but I’ll focus on the positives. This was a good performance for us. If De Zerbi can lift the groups spirits and make the good parts of this performance stick, we still have a chance to stay up. This is bad but for the first time I feel some hope.

@johnarnold Honestly… feels like for this to work it needs to NOT be on a screen. It needs to be a robot or something that will physically engage them. There are lots of good apps out there, and every parent I know is trying to get their kids off screens. Teachers don’t like em either

Khan Academy has created great products, including an AI tutor chatbot, yet still struggles to get broad adoption that improves student achievement. It's the story of ed-tech writ large. No one has yet solved for student motivation and engagement at scale.

@SportsFinance Come on, that’s clearly wrong. Every marginal decision went against Spurs today. Udogie thru on goal, shoulda been a foul B push in the back, shoulda been a card B aggressive tackle on R, shoulda been a card KM breakaway, called back for handball that wasn’t There are more…

Genuinely don’t get what people are crying about here People looking to blame anyone It was never a pen Both our yellows were yellows. The near elbow wasn’t one, was a yellow They maybe could have had one more booking It’s really not that bad

@JakeSanders92 nah, it's gotta be Thomas Frank

Don't let this result take away from the fact Vinai Venkatesham and Johan Lange are the worst things to ever happen to Tottenham Hotspur.

We now have an answer to the question of "is NYC just doing good social media posts about service delivery, or is service delivery actually changing?"

@Ike_Saul Thanks for highlighting this! Very interesting. Of particular note to me, the outcomes for people with bachelors+ still are significantly better than other groups, despite colleges (esp liberal arts) taking a bit of a beating in recent years

Fascinating highlights from Pew on how America has changed in last 50 years: 1. Percentage of 65+ people has doubled 2. Foreign born population has tripled 3. Economic gaps have widened 4. Adults with bach degree tripled 5. 63% live in the West or South (vs. 48% in 1970)

The COVID discourse sucks bc it’s all these broad “they” statements without specifically mentioning who they are. Director of the CDC? The president? WHO? Local governor? School board?Who the f are you talking about? There’s no way to solve a problem w/o getting specific

Hot take: John Williams’ score for the original Harry Potter films was a miss for me. I get what he was going for, a kinda through the looking glass sense of wonder, but it leaves me a little cold. The man theme is a little goofy Some exceptions like the 3rd movie patronus cue

@Rainmaker1973 In 2003, I was taken there at 2 am by some random girl I met at the bar. She didn’t tell me where we were going or what to expect. Had never heard of it. We just pulled up to a random door, and she told me to look. No one else around. Absolutely blew my mind. Why u travel

Rome’s most famous keyhole offers a perfectly framed view of St. Peter’s Basilica, seen through the gardens of the Priory of the Knights of Malta.

@zdch @Blueelectron4 @asymmetricinfo I’m sure this is true for some, but the truth is that we’re just used to a lot more conveniences and free time than our grandparents were, and kids are inconvenient, difficult, & fill yr time regardless of parenting philosophy

@Blueelectron4 @asymmetricinfo This is absolutely right. There is this compulsion to treat child rearing as Yet Another Optimization Vector as opposed to one of many dimensions of all life.

My controversial opinion is a main cause of declining birth rates is the social norm that parents must suffer like prisoners with an 18 year hard labor sentence or else be viewed by society as guilty of neglect and child abuse. Your grandparents didn't live like this.

@PolitiBunny Yeah but why do we have to make life so much more annoying???

For shits and giggles, I decided to see just how hard it would be to replace my birth certificate, Social Security card, AND my marriage license, since Democrats think women are too stupid to figure it out. Here's how it went: 1. Birth certificate: Contacted the health department of the county where I was born. They OVERNIGHTED a certified copy to me the next day - total cost, $14. 2. SS Card: Contacted Social Security on their site. They asked if I was sure I needed the card, since I 'won't likely be asked for it.' I went ahead and got it - took five business days to arrive - total cost, $0. 3. Marriage License: Went to the 'vital docs' site of the county where we were hitched. Filled everything out online, arrived in three days - total cost, $5. It cost less than $20 to obtain all three certified/legal documents, and it took less than five business days to receive them. Note: if I had lived where I was born or married, it would have been a day. Tops. Anyone telling you this is too hard or unfair is lying and hiding the real reason they want to stop Voter ID. I know you guys knew that already... lol

@Ike_Saul Almost every point in the article is related to short-term results. Not nothing, but gives me very little insight as to what the long-term impact will be, which is surely more important

Pretty compelling piece in al-Jazeera (!) today arguing that the U.S.-Israeli plan is working quite well: Trump has degraded Iran militarily, proxies are fragmenting, Strait of Hormuz pain being most felt by China, etc. Actually quite convincing. Curious for the dissents.

YES.

@HcwXd @WonderingApp Really fun! Congrats! My favorite part is being able to talk to someone about the lesson while I’m doing it, so I can delve deeper or prod areas I might be weak in

I left NotebookLM a few months ago to solve a bigger problem in learning. Today, as the first step, we are launching @WonderingApp for early access. It's Duolingo for anything — turning any topic into a guided path with bite-size visual lessons that can fit into your busy schedule. But you don't sacrifice depth/effectiveness for convenience: Total Control: You decide how deep you want to go, how difficult the material should be, and how personalized the experience feels. Active Learning: We provide the tools you need to practice, test your understanding, and actually apply what you’ve learned. Long-term Mastery: It’s built to help you truly remember and master any subject, not just skim the surface.
