i was totally wrong about this. my rate of arabic learning has ripped by having claude cowork force me to do spaced repetition every hour or so, and lock my devices until i complete the set. im sure anki could have done this, but having software built for my neurosis is sick

its genuinely shocking to me that we haven't made giant strides in language acquisition due to ai. it doesn't feel dramatically easier/faster to learn a new language than it was 24-36 months ago. why?

Americans deserve to grow up in a world where their ever-scarce savings aren't pissed away to Wall Street and Silicon Valley elites.
Happy to see this response from @GovKathyHochul and looking forward to seeing more across the country.

Our laws protect New Yorkers from illegal and predatory gambling. Kalshi chose to ignore them. Now they’re being held accountable.

As impressive as these results are, the real acceleration is gonna start when we’re able to connect these models to frontier scientific research facilities

An internal version of Astra, @OpenAI’s next major model family, solved 10 major open problems in mathematics, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science. We believe it will be a major step for scientific reasoning. openai.com/index/ten-adva…

Question for prediction market bulls: So sports contracts are headed to the supreme court who will rule whether or not the CFTC has a magic wand to decide what is or isn't a swap. If they rule that CFTC does have that magic wand, then when a Democrat gets into the White House, then they get to un-wave it, right?

I went to one of these (as a journo). I’ll probably write it up soon but the ~15 attendees I interviewed were:
- overwhelmingly over age 45
- mostly homeowners
- mostly self-identified political moderates
- about 50/50 on whether they planned to vote in the midterms

Part of what makes Stuy such a bad example in these debates is that anyone that has gone there knows Stuy is just not built for anything other than the kids that qualify via the entrance exam. It's a giant, highly competitive public school where your grades are calculated at end of semester on a hundred point scale to the hundredth decimal (I still remember comparing my 96.36 one semester to someone's 96.83... argh!! Must try harder.). There are incredible teachers, and incompetent teachers protected by the teacher's union. There is very little support for the students. It is sink or swim, and if you can't swim no one hears the ripples as you sink under the water. In other words, Stuy is too late. The work needs to come earlier, or you risk changing Stuy and making it a shadow of what it is today for the kids that not only figure out how to swim there, but become torpedoes.

Stuy is New York’s most prestigious high school because it admits the highest-performing students as determined entirely by scores on an objective, unbiased test. Seats at Stuy are not allocated by race. They are not given out through a subjective process that can be influenced by politics or favoritism or money. The kids who got in did the best, and the kids who did not do the best cannot get in, no matter how much rich parents or woke politicians want to corrupt the fair and objective admissions competition. People like Lincoln Restler think Stuy is prestigious for reasons other than the fact that it has a rigorous objective admissions standard. He thinks the prestige these kids earned through their excellence can be redistributed to the students who are not the best that he would prefer to pretend are the best. But these students are not prestigious because they go to Stuy; Stuy is prestigious because these students go there. And if different students — inferior students— went there, then Stuy would no longer be the school that is a magnet for the smartest kids in New York and its prestige and reputation would dissipate rapidly, just like the University of California system’s has. Or maybe Restler knows this, and he just wants to destroy Stuy, because he wants to prevent these students’ talent from being measured and identified, so they can be scattered into low-performing schools where they will languish instead of having their talent cultivated. Regardless, his ideology of racial grievance and destruction is a monstrous evil masquerading as “social justice,” and it will not be tolerated.

A lot of people misclassifying the DSA stuff as Gen Z politics when in reality it’s still a millennial movement. The ‘stomp clap rap’ thing is a purely millennial phenomenon
