As someone who was in a few different modalities of class due to moving school systems, between home school and public school with varying amounts of streaming/options for the cleverest kids, i have very mixed opinions on all of them. I don't any was really the right answer, just tradeoffs of wrong.
Don't get me started on heterogeneous classes, either.
While they may be fine or even great when done in some Platonic ideal way, in practice they're just cheating kids.
From what I've seen in MA the typical outcome of a College Prep/Honors class is that everyone'ss taught at the CP level...

so misleading—76 names as 76 questions in a single request?
made a benchmark to send 1824 independent requests (76 names x 8 resumes x 3 reps), and jev deterministically picked the same 2/8 resumes to proceed regardless of name attached. zero observable name bias.

Ok I did it, I started a new blog and wrote about upgrading my Gameboy Color because you're all a bunch of dorks who like when I talk about this stuff.
Retrofitting a Gameboy Color
This will be a recurring theme but I tend to get a lot of things at flea markets around here which I might make a post about. A few weeks ago I made a late night post about refurbishing a DS Lite for my kid which got far more attention than I expected and suggested maybe people will want to see more of the things I get. Last week I managed to get a Gameboy Color for a very reasonable price along with pokemon yellow, I wish I'd gotten everything the guy was selling because the prices were that go...

the first open source system-one model now must be named Jeff.
I think distillation is the right frame, but what's being distilled is the chain of actions that an llm goes through as it runs multiple sequence tool calls being compressed into a single tool. Call that embeds a decision tree with Jeff routing between various next actions?

man is it weirdly relieving when a cis dude in tech has, like, colourful nail polish. kinda convenient signal of probably being Normal about gender and so on. and like, not super easy to fake either despite being literally paint.

Okay so the fact that people automatically assume that this is about Ziz alone are illustrating the problem. It's easy to make this about the one trans woman who went off the deep end, but she basically went off the deep end due to her involvement with the Rats.

I need one of you to explain the AI rationalist sex cult in a publication I can share to LinkedIn and have folks take seriously.
