Ambitious projects are load bearing for society. The second order effects are everywhere and can be observed in the smallest random niches.

I'm always impressed about how sophisticated all the existing Japanese language learning tools are - tons of great open source projects too
is this because some subset of japanese learners are just cracked engineers or is there something else im missing

For anyone wondering how a third-grader can complete six years' worth of math in a single year.
This knowledge graph spans 3,000 math topics, from 4th grade to the university level, providing the perfect basis for mastery learning.
Students can go as fast or far as they want! There are no restrictions whatsoever. The only requirement is that they must demonstrate mastery of each topic before moving on to the next.
Kids are capable of incredible things when given that kind of freedom and support.

Today feels big. My third grader earned another stripe on his BJJ belt and then casually finished the last lesson of his Calc BC course.
This kid, who just over a year ago claimed he hated math, fell in love with the subject when he started @_MathAcademy_. He became thirsty for more and more math. He has been setting his own goals, and they vastly exceeded anything I would have dared set for him.
He finished 6th through 12th grade math in just over a year.
He hates reviews 😂 and loves new lessons. He doesn't like calculations but loves concepts. He takes math notebooks to restaurants so he can toy with proofs while he waits for his food. And he cannot wait for the MA Abstract Algebra course (@ninja_maths, counting on you!)

You went 🍌🍌 for Nano Banana. Now, meet Nano Banana Pro.
It’s SOTA for image generation editing with more advanced world knowledge, text rendering, precision controls. Built on Gemini 3, it’s really good at complex infographics - much like how engineers see the world:)

hard to believe this was 3 years ago🤯
when the project launched, every metric showed it would fail. I only had ~70 kickstarter page followers... but after a month of crazy dev / marketing days and a few lucky viral posts, we managed to hit the goal
still many updates to come
17 Nov 2022
WOW! We are 100% funded on #Kickstarter!
🥳⭐️🎉💖
Thankyou everyone, I never expected so much support and positivity😊
The project still has 7 days to go😱There are a few stretch goals as well as a possible Japanese 🇯🇵 expansion! 💪 Let's smash them!

Introducing Meta Omnilingual Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), a suite of models providing ASR capabilities for over 1,600 languages, including 500 low-coverage languages never before served by any ASR system.
While most ASR systems focus on a limited set of languages that are well-represented on the internet, this release marks a major step toward building a truly universal transcription system.

New evidence on the effect of cell phone bans in schools just dropped.
"Enforcement of cellphone bans in schools led to a significant increase in student suspensions in the short-term ... but disciplinary actions began to dissipate after the first year, potentially suggesting a new steady state after an initial adjustment period."
"We find significant improvements in student test scores in the second year of the ban after that initial adjustment period."
