Thinking Flexibly. The result is a compelling argument that education is less a data download and more a fitness program for our brains. Thinking Flexibly. ‘Thinking flexibly’ is inherent to many of the IB learner attitudes, especially cooperation, respect, and tolerance. Managing impulsivity. Persisting.

And for example doing a very simple piece of machine learning , we again get a symbolic object which can be used as a function and applied to an argument to get a result: And so it is with LLMFunction. By giving a second argument to LLMFunction you can say you want actual, structured computable output. are symbolic objects.

So many discoveries, so many inventions, so much achieved, so much learned. And key to everything we do is leveraging what we have already done—often taking what in earlier years was a pinnacle of technical achievement, and now using it as a routine building block to reach a level that could barely even be imagined before.

But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century. But in other ways it’s also a cautionary tale, of how the forces of “conventional wisdom” can blind people to unanswered questions and—over a surprisingly long time—inhibit the development of new ideas.

When confronted with real-world math problems with multiple answers, students will be able to think more creatively and flexibly. These programs enable students to achieve advanced knowledge and have been shown to improve critical thinking and problem-solving skills. How Can Academic Enrichment Boost Student Success?

Sometimes textbooks will gloss over everything; sometimes they’ll give some kind of “common-sense-but-outside-of-physics argument”. This argument is quite rough, but it captures the essence of what’s going on. But what if we’re more flexible in what we consider the objective of the demon to be? Why does the Second Law work?

And in what follows we’ll see the great power that arises from using this to combine the achievements and intuitions of physics and mathematics—and how this lets us think about new “general laws of mathematics”, and view the ultimate foundations of mathematics in a different light. and zero arguments: α[ ]. &#10005.

Yes, there can be a lot of flexibility in this model. Back in 1987—as part of building Version 1.0 But one can’t have a truly “model-less model”.

Part of what this achieves is to generalize beyond traditional mathematics the kind of constructs that can appear in models. Events are like functions, whose “arguments” are incoming tokens, and whose output is one or more outgoing tokens. But there is something else too—and it’s from this that the full computational paradigm emerges.
