Haha reading your comment felt like finding someone who speaks my language. I absolutely agree that the context of spaced repetition with incremental learning and reading is key, i…

Learning depends on the environment and whether it is pursued in an auto-didactic sense (Even for a job, say) or whether you are learning for an exam/part of a cohort. It's not wro…

Please can you tell me more about the daf-2 gene and it's role in lifespan for nematodes? Any explainers on this? How does insulin relate to it - the metabolic aspect?

That makes a lot of sense! I do see value there. I guess it's the context of the class, but biased to the content which LLMs at test-time are bad at understanding/marking (e.g. the…

Hi! Yes we use something similar at Revision.ai to analyze student short, long and recall-based answers. The context of their studying content is considered when providing feedback…

Some of the teachers I have worked with do this; and there are some great teachers(lecturers) like Martin who teach effective studying techniques: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I…

I agree motivation to learn and maintaining interest is key, to effect the learning rate you mention. The enjoyment itself, although a crucifying word to use in discussions when te…

I also recommend https://www.learningscientists.org/posters from scientists in the field, which covers additional scientifically-effective approaches that a course designer or more…

Yes, I have often thought if it wasn't got GPT-3, this work would have been more recognised and more powerful. However generative embeddings are still more useful for more abstract…

I think it is. But there are levels to learning and approaches that tech can take. Speaking as a Psychology of learning and Comp Sci graduate. For a long time we have had the capab…

# People they delighted or prevented from feeling frustrated? The problem is, this is rather hard to measure.

I own touchba.se and use it to set up meetings/calls. @Circleback team you could take it on the cheap, but I think Circleback makes a lot more sense for your company.

You hear lots of advice, examples, parables and warnings, but often the crucial part is knowing something when it's useful in your life. Are their any lessons that once you "got" t…

This makes some great points, and Martin Lombell has covered something very similar in a rather timeless one hour engaging lecture here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlU-zDU6aQ0…

This learning tool turns learning content* into an organised, curriculum-like quiz experience. It makes sensible lessons, containing quiz questions and motivating you with progress…

What's the Ed Tech startup? 50k-200k LOI* in January would be unusual for an EdTech startup given the timing of semesters and university/locality/school contract signing periods.. …

I'd be interested in discussing this with you - we think alike, although, having background in psychology too, I was at first sceptical of your use of terms like "Rearranging". But…

Is this monthly revenue or total so far? Recurring? What do you costs look like?

I was running one of them, and entering kaggle competitions throughout 2021 and 2022 using them. Many efforts and uses of Sentence-transformers (and new PhD projects) were thrown i…

What features struggle to work self-hosted? It was my (perhaps outdated) experience that in fact some elements of JS (like using scraper libraries) would not work on Vercel at the …

Good points... In many ways, before LLMs, vectors were getting so exciting, Sentence Transformers and BERT embeddings felt so instrumental, so powerful... work by the txtai author …

I run a studying app. I am considering applying more psychological aspects - think sometimes emotional methods like a sad avatar if you don't study, building streaks, or notificati…

Sounds like you may be asking the wrong questions. As you may be assuming the product direction is correct and uniform for your customer base - but is it? The pricing sounds ok, I …

I do think Googles strategy for UI is pretty strong, and avoids their products feeling outdated or changing too much to flow. However, I am particularly sad that now rather than "I…

If you can afford to optimise for your "Recall rate" over your "Precision" as such(e.g. your current time or number of opportunities/ideas is high), then go one step further than t…
