Quote, Unquote
In a very deep sense, I think the biggest miracle that we need to create the super powerful A.I. is already behind us. It’s already in the rearview mirror. We just needed an algorithm that could learn and a network architecture that could somehow encode the knowledge and the capability to reason.

Five British Universities with Interesting Wikipedia Entries
Quote, Unquote
When it was born, it was a paper atlas in living form, with no pages to turn. Instead of online mapping leader MapQuest’s printable list of directions, navigation routes were overlaid on top of the map itself. And Google Maps loaded map tiles in a Web browser without any special software so you could explore the world without refreshing, a technical feat that had never been seen before.

Our standard testing practices encourage mindless cramming and dumping, rather than critical engagement. All students would benefit from more frequent, low-stakes, real-time, individualized assessments.
