AI aside, I think the biggest thing we could do is stop thinking about education as a profit centre. We’re not multiplying humanity if we’re only doing it for the fraction that can afford it.

Edit: Having more of a look I see you’re making this freemium, which is a good thing.

I bought one of these and I quite like it. Form factor is nice, transfer is a bit rough around the edges but serviceable.

Pretty sure my credit card got harvested from either them or the website purchase though

I think there’s a lot of value in some of this (and as the owner of a somewhat spicy brain I relate to the desire for processes that help), but it feels like at least some of this (c|sh)ould be scripted and not LLM’d.

I’ve been watching some of the GitHub App promos, and it feels like because you have an app with access that knows how to agent, that’s the first method within reach, even if it isn’t necessarily the best one.

Funny, I had the opposite experience with MiniMax and Mimo when using OpenCode. MiniMax got stuck with looping through broken tool calls all the time and MiMo just powered through things and for the most part just worked.

Sounds like yet another thing that makes life harder for the unbanked, the homeless etc.

This is the sort of thing that makes me worry about my solar inverter, battery etc. so much remote management stuffed into these things.

I recently installed Ubuntu on a little Geekom mini PC for my 6 and 8 year olds to share. So far my 6 yo isn’t too into it, but her older sister mostly uses it for the games I’ve put onto it through Epic and Steam and programming using MakeCode, mostly for Arcade (https://arcade.makecode.com) (I have a couple of micro:bit-based handheld shields) and more recently getting into the awesomely simple networking that the micro:bit provides (https://makecode.microbit.org).

Since the micro:bit requires some file management for programming them, that’s been a good entry point to the file system.

> - the fact that in another role they would have to work 25% more (50 weeks per year instead of 40 weeks per year)

Heh. I left teaching for three years to work in the private sector and the "25% more work" was honestly the best work life balance I've had in 20 years.
