It's like no one has ever heard of an asymptote.

Half of the dustups I have on Twitter / X are generational. It’s pointless to argue STAR WARS with a person born in 1995 when I saw it in 70mm at The Ziegfield on its opening weekend. Explaining its impact is impossible to transmit.
There is no such thing as "math trauma". Yes, there is trauma, but it is never caused by math. This specific framing is used to denigrate learning. Those who use the phrase "math trauma" are part of a broad anti-math culture that seeks to blame social problems on knowledge.
After a few years of dormancy, I've started doing some maintenance on the PokerStove open source library, with the notion of making it a bit more useful to myself, and possibly to others. Currently working on supporting installation as a python package.
A little bit of knowledge goes a long way.
And the one fact check was against Biden for height and weight!!?

Reading Heath's "A History of Greek Mathematics" and I'm constantly struck by just how incredibly old and relevant early Greek geometry is. It predates Christianity by over 500 years, and yet it's practically applied on the computer I'm using to compose this note.
I don't know where I sit on NetHack being a hard problem, but it's a great example of something that is beyond the limits of today's AI systems.

Global warming is a problem, but the giant granite stones will be fine. Global warming and paint won't impact them in the slightest. But this is not the kind of politics that builds bridges. It's a cruel entitled activism that centers protest and erases the problem.

When people who hate math, and can't do math, are in charge of reforming math, this is what happens. * 10 years of regressive policy for SF students * Misinformation used to motivate statewide reform * Zero accountability
I don't even think I could imagine anyone saying it better. Broadly speaking AI doomers are histrionic influence engineers, who's primary purpose is to curry favor and influence for themselves and their backers.

For just $44/mo, you too can learn how to not teach standard algorithms to your math class. The amount of money people make gatekeeping knowledge is bonkers.
The best part about this @EdSource article are the well-informed comments. Here's one. I would add that preaching "don't give timed tests" while at the same time saying you're following how math is taught in China and Japan is quite contradictory. How about loads of homework?…
When the rubber hits the road, people who don't like long division demure. Maybe the wider world can help answer this question? If you need to generate the decimal expansion for 1/7 by hand, what is the best algorithm excluding standard long division?

Things that mathphobes write. It's almost as if they don't understand how it all fits together. We could certainly do better on illuminating the puzzle. Manual computation makes one appreciate logarithms: Napier's wonderful invention! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Napi…

When math reformers explicitly advocate for NOT teaching math, it's easy to identify the source of systemic oppression.

No test for admission, high expectations, 100% graduation rate, for only $8000/year. Clearly these students want to succeed. The school wants them to succeed as well.
