My contribution to the math discourse is that it would be cool to have a middle school class that's just defense against scams & manipulation:
Compound interest
Gambling odds
Survey sampling
The field of economics

etc.

Word problems aside, I never understood why math is taught absent context.

If you're using AI in your work, are you finding it to be too intense sometimes, even exhausting? I'm finding I can get a lot done, but that I'm also sometimes resisting even thinking about using an AI for anything until I am fully rested and h…

Stayed at the Daiwa Roynet Shimbashi and was pleasantly surprised. No BS about handing over my id at check-in, room was small but well designed, shower was great, breakfast good.

I'm planning a new feature in one of our security monitoring systems, and so far, Anthropic's just-released Opus 4.6 model is just outstanding in its ability to suss out every detail. Color me impressed, Claude!

Who needs research showing AI assistance won't really help novice coders? AIs are great at executing fast but don't yet reason well and cannot replace human experience.

Which AI lies the best? So long sucker might help determine that. 🍪

"(the game) was designed in 1950 by four game theorists including John Nash (of "A Beautiful Mind" fame). The game has one brutal property: betrayal is required to win."

We had an old vacuum cleaner battery, and several old mobile phones and portable recharger batteries, which you cannot simply throw out in the trash. I took them to Totsuka ward office 9th floor and deposited them in the recycling receptacle.

If you like design and thinking about design, User Friendly by Cliff Kuang is a home run of a book. Just fantastic. You could follow its threads to study further, for a year. 📚
