SEL and “critical race theory”—a little-understood academic concept that conservatives have capitalized on to stoke fear among parents—have been willfully conflated in recent public discourse by disingenuous, politically motivated agitators , causing hysteria. Like Henny, we must now evaluate the facts around SEL.

Many of these students achieve most, if not all of their credit hours through online courses. Around 90% of K-12 public school teachers assert that digital learning tools are the best option when doing research or gathering data. This is a systemic problem that requires years to correct and oversight on nearly every level to achieve.

I strongly believe that the world needs engineers with strong critical thinking skills, who know how to ask questions, understand bias, construct and evaluate arguments, and think comprehensively and creatively. This paves the way for its use among the general public in the near future. This goes hand in hand with ethical thinking.

I was struck by the tight argumentation in the recent Vox essay, “ The incredible shrinking future of college ,” written by New America’s Kevin Carey. Reporters made an eye-popping 600 public information requests to school districts in their efforts to find out which books were coming under scrutiny. Read more from Jeff here.

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.

By giving a second argument to LLMFunction you can say you want actual, structured computable output. can be used.

But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century. Kelvin’s ideas about the inevitable dissipation of “useful energy” spread quickly—by 1854, for example, finding their way into an eloquent public lecture by Hermann von Helmholtz (1821–1894).

However, since the 1990s, public attitudes towards gay rights in the US have undergone a monumental shift. Professor Michael Rosenfeld , a sociologist at Stanford University , has studied this dramatic change in public opinion. Most public attitudes remain relatively stable over time and social change is a slow process.

In July I was making “encryption-friendly” pictures of rule 30: But what Jack and I were most interested in was doing something more “cryptographically sophisticated”, and in particular inventing a practical public-key cryptosystem based on cellular automata. And it’s basically still not been figured out (and maybe it’s actually impossible).

I first met Ed in 1982—on an island in the Caribbean he had bought with money from taking public a tech company he’d founded. But Ed Fredkin’s first piece of public visibility seems to have come in 1948, when he was 13 years old—and it reminds me so much of many of Ed’s later “self-imposed” adventures.

For example: California’s debate about revisions to its statewide math framework included provisions to shake up math instruction, in an attempt to keep it rigorous but also find a way to narrow achievement gaps among students of different races and income levels. Riling up many of these no-holds-barred K-12 scraps is “inclusivity.”

My argument is that computer science was originally invented to be taught to everyone, but not for economic advantage.
