New comment by liveoneggs in "I'm skeptical about efforts to revolutionize schooling"

liveoneggs — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 12:55:47 +0000

I find these arguments ignore one of the most obvious and important parts of school: discipline/behavior.

A really small number of disruptive kids will destroy the learning of the entire middle. The top kids will figure it out at home and survive, or their parents will separate them through brute-force - a few borderline high achievers will probably be brought down too.

In the poorer neighborhoods around me the school performance is actually shameful and the kids are being subjected to the worst of their peers constantly, destroying their ability to succeed. Many will (hopefully) drop out/get arrested by late middle/early high school but the damage they do to their entire neighborhood along the way is massive.

Cohorting the highs and the well-behaved middle would probably work out just fine but unless you can eliminate the disruptive and the very-behind it's just the worst of all worlds.

I just replaced my old kindle with a colorsoft. It was annoyingly white until I figured out how to get that old school kindle yellow/newspaper/paperback look going again.

The newer battery is nice and usb-c is a big upgrade instead of finding my last mini usb (or whatever it was). I think I'm down to just one last thing on that stupid cable (a camping lantern).

I actually took a waymo down North Ave (where one got stuck) a few weeks ago and it was very pleasant.

I'm pretty conservative about this stuff but the waymo is genuinely nice to ride in.

If guitars were about ergonomics, technology, and sound they would be copying strandbergs!

These vintage designs are all about nostalgia and looks.

Anyway Bo Diddley demonstrated the most optimal body shape for holding electronics. :)

This would be fine if LLMs had a dedicated language or a well-tuned abstraction that suited their abilities well. Right now we are trying to fit our square languages into the LLM's round hole.

Just have IT roll out OpenClaw to everyone, connect it up to their emails, chats, password managers, etc and then click "go".

Why not?

Major news sites can just lean into mathwashing their political opinions pages and call it any random number they like.
