The emphasis of our work is to provide a safe and socially nurturing place for unhoused students to achieve academic success,” says Afira DeVries, CEO of Monarch School. But critics allege that this argument is self-serving, and the 2020 Senate report listed Monarch School as having a higher than average chronic absentee rate , at 58.8

Energy consumption, transportation, and time spent learning can all be reduced drastically thanks to online learning technologies. Many of these students achieve most, if not all of their credit hours through online courses. This is a systemic problem that requires years to correct and oversight on nearly every level to achieve.

But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century. Already the steam-engine works our mines, impels our ships, excavates our ports and our rivers, forges iron, fashions wood, grinds grain, spins and weaves our cloths, transports the heaviest burdens, etc.

And in Mathematica and the Wolfram Language that’s achieved with Integrate. And over the years that’s exactly what we’ve achieved—for integrals, sums, differential equations, etc. It’s the end of a long journey, and a satisfying achievement in the quest to make as much mathematical knowledge as possible automatically computable.

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 one never quite gets there ; it always seems to need something extra. Why does the Second Law work?

I think Yves Pomeau already had a theoretical argument for this, but as far as I was concerned, it was (at least at first) just a “next thing to try”. I quickly determined that there were no such rules with 2 colors and blocks of sizes 2 or 3 that achieved any kind of randomization.

In other words, we’re concerned more with what computational results are obtained, with what computational resources, rather than on the details of the program constructed to achieve this. And we can trace the argument for this to the Principle of Computational Equivalence. A very important claim about the ruliad is that it’s unique.
