New math isn't the problem -- new math was never the problem. Standards are the problem.

You do realize the young people aren't choosing their own education, right? Its the previous generations making those changes.

You're likely falling into the logical thinking word problem portion of those students.

It depends what you mean by "complexity". Sure Conway's game of life seems like a set of simple rules but so does the axiomization of the natural numbers, see the Peano Axioms. Despite being "simple" it still leads to Godel's incompleteness theorem.

I would image the "complexity" of Conway's Game of life is more complex than you would think. I'm not even sure we could define the game as "simple" to begin with.

I have a hard time seeing how this could possibly succeed as well. Yes, it feels unfair to the consumer, but also yes the seller agreed to it in exchange for being on such a huge platform.
Should we make such contracts illegal? yes. Are they already? no.

You mean Andy right? Since he replaced Bezos as CEO a while back...

I used it

I've been using Intel Clear Linux for a few years now. I was pretty happy with its constant stream of updates and optimized libraries. I used it for math and AI related compute. Pretty bummed they discontinued it. Not sure what distro I will have to use but I'm sure whatever I pick (minus Gentoo) will not be as performant.

Wow. I'm amazed anyone who's spent any time looking into the lives of people in Europe and Asia could believe this. Oh wait, you've never done that, have you?

Please keep sharing anything you observe as it happens.

The last thing any of us should want is for OpenAI to take over from Google.

I really don't understand this decision that Google should be broken up as though its 'monopoly' in search isn't entirely based on skill and talent. But if we *are* going to force companies to break up into components, can we make sure new monoliths aren't just created as a result?

This, entirely this.

Its just mildly more difficult to print the source code to Linux on a T-shirt ... or to include its entirety in your E-mail signature.

May I note that the person who disliked my reply and labelled it trolling is hilarious?
How is disagreeing with someone and citing sources trolling? smh.

I am simply responding to a proposed *impossibility* -- the potentially low probability that "facts" are used to reinforce a data set does not change is *possibility*.
Your argument also seems to ignore the difference between initial training and reinforcement.
