As a math teacher myself I want to say... A parent taking an interest and spending some quality time with their child over a subject can have a huge impact on their motivation to l…

I've never seen so many emdashes in one piece!

When I was young I was taught that pink is a light shade of red. But what kids these days call pink seems to me to be a bright magenta.

I love iNaturalist! It's the closest thing to real-life Pokemon I know of. A friend of mine has uploaded several observations that turned out to be new to science.

I can't comment on if it was written by AI or not but I found the OP informative and quite dense with useful information. Nothing stood out to me as garbage.

The UK is still a respected "brand" in most of the world despite what chronically online people say. British education is the most sought-after in many countries for example.

> a general theme of discrediting and devaluing teachers and school in English speaking countries that is reinforced by Hollywood and out of touch billionaires It's the dumbest thi…

> students actively benefit from struggling through the act of the craft itself. Hard agree! Although I'm biased as a foreign language teacher :) Geography is a great example actua…

Oh nicely done! There was me thinking I'd done well with 38,332 / 50,000. It'd be nice if the site itself showed how well you did relative to others but I can't see anything like t…

It's interesting that I find loops. For example car + stupid = idiot, car + idiot = stupid

Plug for my favourite podcast Literature and History which has convered this topic: https://literatureandhistory.com/episode-096-the-last-pagan-...

The decline in cnet might suggest people are using LLMs for product reviews and recommendations? I'm surprised because I personally wouldn't trust an LLM for that. Maybe the new fr…

I couldn't find much context on the website but the name is very broad yet the content focuses on a specific aesthetic. Personally, I am constantly amused in 2025 how much Vietnam …

I was asking ChatGPT for ideas for activities today and one suggestion was chatting to an AI Chatbot. I couldn't help but wonder if they're nudging the LLM to create a market for i…

I blog about really niche local history. I enjoy it because it acts as external motivation for my hobby. The idea that someone could read it makes me research thoroughly and write …

I think vtuber sports could be an interesting genre! Real displays of athleticism and sportsmanship but with digital effects to augment it. Maybe it's already been done, I'm not pa…

That's a good example. My favorite has always been rock-paper-scissors. If `vs` is a binary operator which gives you the winner according to the game then rock vs paper = paper vs …

I no longer work in tech, but I still write simple applications to make my work life easier. I frequently use what OP refers to as chat-driven programming, and I find it incredibly…

I imagine maths teachers had a similar dilemma when pocket calculators became widely available. Now, in the UK students sit 2 different exams: one where calculators are forbidden a…

> The notion of “fairness” dominates English education policy in Japan. Because of the importance of educational credentials in Japanese life, any policy that seems to favor one gr…

I agree that it's a disorder. I have aphantasia and wish I didn't. I have low resilience due to having no ability to go to a "happy place" or recall pleasant memories. I wonder if …

I have aphantasia. I relate to what you say about how "feel" a face when I remember it. I'd compare it to a neutral nets embedding. I'm not storing every "pixel" of an image but in…

I think you're right. Since LLMs went mainstream, I've seen a lot of my colleagues' presentations and thought "was this written by ChatGPT?" but I've come to wonder if it's just gi…

They ask themselves the difficult question for every anime: which character will be voiced by Vic Mignogna.

This is a nice idea, in the past I worked as a maths tutor and was always on the lookout for good problems for students. (Maybe this is possible, I didn't make an account but ...) …
