Some people might feel like Hofstadter's "abstraction ceiling" take is pessimistic. Can't you can improve pedagogy to better scaffold even at higher levels? Won't that drastically increase the level of math that a student is able to reach? Absolutely. There is lots of room to
Douglas Hofstadter once wrote about what it felt like to max out his cognitive horsepower. Few people know this.

Bayesian updates happen a tiny percentage points at a time. For both the sides of the argument.
Most divides aren't due to differing values. They're driven by focusing on different things. After a 10-minute talk, people with opposing views are less polarized a week later. They find more common ground than expected. Prejudice festers in silence. Civil dialogue opens minds.

Yann LeCun explains that large language models are trained on about 30 trillion words, representing nearly all public internet text. He says it would take a human over 500,000 years to read that much. But a 4-year-old child sees just as much visual data in their first few years

Reality is fractal. Even for ordinary, familiar, boring things, there are infinite layers to peel.
When the mind is ready, the learning appears. Variation on the old Zen proverb...

Erdös published more than 1,500 papers and did mathematics 19 hours a day, even at 83 - "The 1st sign of senility is when a man forgets his theorems. The 2ns sign is when he forgets to zip up. The 3rd sign is when he forgets to zip down"

Napoleon wanted history to remember him like this. Wind tearing through the Alps. Horse rearing. Finger pointed toward destiny. Jacques-Louis David delivered the image perfectly. But it was a lie that worked. In reality, Napoleon crossed the Alps quietly. No white stallion. No

The difference between a good student and a great one is that a good student is concerned more about the outcome while a great one is fascinated by the process of learning. -Richard P. Feynman

This should trigger @ndmaindia into action. Can’t understand why @PMOIndia has not gotten involved. This is a multi-state, multi-causal problem that no one ministry/authority can solve. This is surely not vehicular pollution.
आज/अभी पूरे भारत की एक्यूआई (हवा की गुणवत्ता का सूचक) खराब है और उत्तर भारत का तो और भी खराब। यह मेरे यहां का 317 दिखा रहा है। और मैं उत्तर प्रदेश के पूर्वांचल के #गांवदेहात में रहता हूं। गले में कुछ फंसता सा लगता है। शायद धूल? :-(

When you compete with China, you're not competing with a country. You're competing with 300+ city-states. They don't build products, they build ecosystems. Talent comes in clusters.
China’s industry is a different beast 🤯 Every product and its supply chain are tied to one huge city the size of a nation, Eric explains. This is why other nations can’t compete with China.

TIL: Apple Store employees tilt all the MacBook monitors to 76 degrees. It’s an awkward viewing angle, inviting customers to adjust the screen. This “multi-sensory” action is supposed to give a sense of ownership and increase likelihood of a purchase.
