Closing the Reading Gap with Effective, Brain-Based Reading Instruction

ED Surge

Although most students can learn to read, the majority are not reaching their full potential. A significant step toward improving our nation’s literacy landscape is relying on brain-based, science of reading instruction. As Louisa C. How do we build strong comprehension skills in developing readers?

The Making of A New Kind of Science

Stephen Wolfram

Figuring out more and more science. And painstakingly laying out page after page of what on May 14, 2002, would be published as A New Kind of Science. I’ve written before (even in the book itself ) about the intellectual journey involved in the creation of A New Kind of Science. Developing new kinds of computational diagrams.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

My goal here is to explore some of the science, technology—and philosophy—of what we can expect from AIs. Given a defined “goal”, an AI can automatically work towards achieving it. And it turns out that this is part of a circle of rather deep—and at first surprising—ideas that I believe are crucial to thinking about the AI future.
