When students fall far behind in math: - mastering future content gets harder - unfinished learning snowballs - the pace req. to catch up in a year gets absurd. All of which exacerbates inequities. Path forward: A transition to personalized, competency-based learning.

Here’s a splendid Independence Day AI exercise. Be my guest and try it. It’ll give you renewed respect for our founders . . . reason.com/2023/07/04/i-aske…

My compliments to @ZachTumin and Madeleine Want on their new book, ‘Precisely,’ and its focus on the importance of precision analytics in a world increasingly dependent on an expanding, complex environment of data systems and technologies. I had the great good fortune to co-author an earlier book with Zach, ‘Collaborate or Perish in Today’s Networked World.’ Both books use real-life experiences and initiatives to guide the reader through the growing information complexities of the 21st century world we live in and share. As a practitioner of Predictive and Precision Policing, I found it to be a valuable addition to that data-driven world.

Data scientists are asking questions, they're forming hypotheses, they're testing new things, they're building narratives, they're taking risks, they're telling stories. . . . It's an art and a science and a great use of human time. a16z.com/2023/05/16/5-founde…
