A future that may yet come.

"problem is the entire argument-counterargument tree is hundreds of thousands of words, scattered about in many places"

An llm could solve that.

""It has been argued that the historiography of science is "riddled with Whiggish history"." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whig_history

Prevention always cheaper than cure.

Jeff Koonz thrives, invents tools to produce new works, and will not be replaced by an LLM. Art is wide, and it should not be reduced to a few Koonz'.

I hear highly experienced COBOL devs make bank. Supply and demand. Great for them!

Pizza maker will not be the first job automated away. Nor will janitor. Form fiddlers are cheap and can be blamed. AI fiddlers can be blamed too but are not cheap, yet.

This is the way. If we all did that, our health care system would be the best the world has ever seen. We mostly do the opposite. We give up on our own agency in terms of our health outcomes, then get on ozympic and demand cheap insulin to go with the cheap soda pop and fast food we love so much.

But doesn't economics matter somewhat? You don't seem to acknowledge supply/demand; just talented and untalented craftsmen which you assume exist in eternal ratio that cannot fluctaute with supply and demand or market forces. Reality encompases both money and art.

A clump == blocking the passing lane. They are definitionally the same.

Stay in the far right lane unless passing. Don't tailgate. Those 2 rules would solve a lot of problems if they were enforced. Instead, there is heavy enforcement of the speed limit, which in and of itself isn't a safety concern.

Left lanes are for passing. If you are in the left lane and not passing, guess what.

I agree. Kids need to eat their vegetables, but we can make vegetables quite delicious if we try. Also, the music metaphor is imperfect because some musicians are performers others composers. I prefer sport as the metaphor: a mix of short laregely repituous training and longer term strategy, different styles for different athletes, influence of genetics and talent heterogeneity acknowledged at the elite end of the spectrum.

Maybe there's an element of both time and skill? How many folks that pursue math can point to a great early teacher as being influential. Not all, but I want to believe it's common and maybe true for most.

It is very sad to me that so many people can't enjoy that aspect of math. I was lucky, pbs used to show math stuff to kids, so it was fun and interesting before it was a school thing. Of course a huge part of math learning is just hatd work for most if us. But kids should taste the delight first, it motivates them to do the less delightful practice.

"many children learn mathematics as a set of arcane rituals for manipulating symbols on paper, because they can't yet understand the abstract meanings of those symbols."

In the US?

I had pretty typical US public school education. Word problems and application were ubiquituous. Perhaps my experience is non-representative, or you like the study authors are speaking of other educational contexts (Asia).

"ask whether, in the urban Indian context, the arithmetic skills that are used in market transactions transfer to the more abstract maths skills taught in school."

I have a hard time with this notion of 2 different maths. I wonder if it is specific to the "urban Indian context" as the authors seem to suggest in their literature review -- I didn't pursue their references. Intuitive math that is not associated with memorization sounds like g.

But you didn't marry her.

Maybe someone could try to prosecute Trump?

Not really. The vast majority of adults are not at all accountable in today's society. We blame.

So you defend it on the grounds, specifically, correct me if I am misinterpreting, that it is nothong beyond a rebranding of typical HR legal speak? You either think it is important and meaningful or you don't-- ie it is a litmus test. I think it is useful as such frankly, but could be minimized. I am totally happy to pledge allegiance to non-racism or something like that. Some arcane limus test where only people like you can evaluate the true merit of a DEI statement is likely to be unfair, widely abused and ironically probably reinforces institutional racism more than it ameliotates it. Not calling you a hard racist, just saying you are contributing to it and sustaining it rather than reducing it.

The media coverage of it does.

I wouldn't call him genius, but maybe you're right.

I 100% gaurantee you don't recycle. Perfect, enemy the good. That said, couldn't agree moreabout air travel or travel in general; a monument to man's self endulgent waste.

You could disagree by saying how or why you disagree, for example maybe you feel a dictatorship must have a singular dictator and not be a group of elected officials.

"everything from development assistance to military aid."

Was written twice. I appreciated that.

International market price.

"association with drug dealers IRL?"

I'd rather get my milk from the corner store than some anonymous reseller on amazon. Real life drug dealers operate in markets too.

Most pool owners aren't dead? Am i being trolled?

It would do more good in K12 or pre-K than it would paying off private debts held by white collar highly educated not rich yet due only to their young age university-bros.
