This meant I was consistently rewarded at school for putting my head down and striving to be a “good student” and “high achiever,” but never for challenging authority or speaking up when something was wrong. I broke that mold on the day that a substitute lecturer addressed my Ph.D.

years of my career at Weehawken High School, where I taught Algebra I (students in grades seven to nine) and AP Calculus (grades 11-12). The balancing act is definitely a challenge, but I’m working extremely hard to achieve my personal and professional goals while continuing to enjoy the profession. I spent the first 3.5

Most are about five minutes (some longer, some shorter) and cover topics like chemistry, physics, calculus, geometry, biology, Algebra, trigonometry, grammar, ACT prep, and SAT prep. The website showcases work at film festivals and on over 100 public broadcast and cable channels. ” Kudos to their ability to achieve that goal.

Consider students like Aaron Iba and Nick Perez , who were considered failures in school despite having a passion for and achieving success in their real-world pursuits. Unfortunately, in the current standardized, test-dependent public school system, such models are rarely seen or they are relegated to after school programs.

The whole process of “prompt engineering” feels a bit like animal wrangling: you’re trying to get ChatGPT to do what you want, but it’s hard to know just what it will take to achieve that. In the past, one might have tried to achieve this “by hand” by starting with “boilerplate” pieces, then modifying them, “gluing” them together, etc.

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. 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).

It didn’t help that his knowledge of physics was at best spotty (and, for example, I don’t think he ever really learned calculus). 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. Even after Ed left active management of III, he was still its chairman.

It’s not obvious that it would be feasible to find the path of the steepest descent on the “weight landscape” But calculus comes to the rescue. It turns out that the chain rule of calculus in effect lets us “unravel” the operations done by successive layers in the neural net.

For three centuries theoretical models had been based on the fairly narrow set of constructs provided by mathematical equations, and particularly calculus.

When you do operations on Around numbers the “errors” are combined using a certain calculus of errors that’s effectively based on Gaussian distributions—and the results you get are always in some sense statistical. Also in the area of calculus we’ve added various conveniences to the handling of differential equations. &#10005.
