There's a huge potential in personalized learning/education space. A big problem in education is that everyone learns different, and teachers / schools have to go by the speed of the lowest common denominator. AI can tailor content to the individual students most optimal way of learning. Whoever cracks that code will literally boost humankind
The job postings being all on-site (no remote) is kind of wild.

I was referring to systems that are designed to teach people. SCORM for example.
Scorm is a zip file with html files to structure content any way you want with a minimal amount of mandatory standards. It was never meant for assessment, nor is it secure. The creator of scorm said to not use it learning had to be secured. It’s not a system or a framework in any meaningful or standardized sense, and more of a format for compiling content that can be copied between different places.
As a daily user of Anki and Math Academy, I'm very excited about how software can help us learn. Now, with AI, we can really build tools that were not possible before. I built for myself AlgoTutor[1], a CLI tool that teaches Go developers algorithmic skills and concurrency. The recent Understanding floating point[2] from Oz Nova is also a type of tutorial I want to see more often. [1] https://github.com/zuzuleinen/al…
> 01 Plans a path with you > 02 Adapts to how you learn > 03 Patiently stays with you until you've mastered new skills 1 and 2 any of the big AI companies will do that for you. I have Claude doing this for me for a few learning areas. 3 to me feels like the Duolingo bird. IMHO, they are trying to solve the wrong thing. People who want to learn will gravitate to learning systems. If you can find a way to pull in peopl…
I started learn linear algebra and some mid-level math stuff couple of years back. While I really wanted to learn I still struggled to find a good learning path and use a product similar to Duolingo for math. Eventually I learned some, then stopped using it and then forgotten all of it. But my point is despite if me really want to learn I found it quite challenging to find learning path that I trusted to be good star…
What if it's simply impossible to learn linear algebra and mid-level math stuff by spending only 30 minutes a day? What if you can't get fit if you don't go to the gym?

I hope they’re planning to build hardware so the learning experience can be close to pen and paper. Keyboards and screens are a distraction and the brain learns better with a pencil than with a keyboard.
I feel the exact opposite. I hand-write very slowly, so having to focus on that instead of the material is literally a distraction, compared to just typing out my thoughts. The exception to this is if the focus of the learning is the writing in itself. Right now I'm learning kanji, so I need to draw them to focus on and memorize the shapes. That said, it doesn't have to be on paper. Dragging my finger on a tablet or…
