Yes! We have a number of folks in Canada.

Fantastic! I'll be sending in an application ASAP. I think I would have been a good fit for the AI role, but I no longer see it on the jobs page.

I'm actually quite excited about the Math and CS Producer roles, and I see that you'd like examples of existing online interactive teaching work. I can supply shots of static boards I've used for IRL teaching, but I don't currently have interactive work to showcase. I was thinking of applying immediately, but spending the next week making an interactive demo. Would this work, or should I wait to apply until I have everything in place? I don't want to miss out on this opportunity.

Hi Jared,

Are you guys able to work with Canadian developers in the NYC timezone, either as independent contractors, or as employees through an Employer of Record (EOR) like Deel? I'd love to get back into education, and I'd bring AI, gamedev, and teaching chops.

This looks interesting! Are you able to work with remote developers in Canada? Either as an independent contractor, or through a payroll company like Deel?

Looks cool. This is similar to what I'm doing for long-term memory in AISH, but packaged up nicely. Others have pointed out that they're somewhat abusing the term KG. But ... you could imagine other processes poring over the "raw" text chunks and building up a true KG from that.

Some people just won't ever be good at math. There are people who have basically no visual intuition and can't predict what an object will look like when rotated in 3 dimensions. It may be possible to practice this but someone who does poorly at this untrained is unlikely to ever reach even median level ability. There are techniques you can learn to perform this task in a multiple choice test situation but they don't train your brain to be better at visualizing 3d rotations at all.

This is not to say that object rotation is a proxy for mathematical ability, but just a demonstration that there are cognitive tasks which people vary widely in ability on when untrained and which we don't have an effective way to train, at least at an arbitrary age. Lots of Math seem to be this way.

Possibly true, but "good enough" is within reach of many more people than realize it. Engineering level calculus is not particularly high-level math, but will get you a long way in terms of applications.

Articles that start with "I" are usually about bragging and hence disappointing.

Oh, I didn’t connect the dots before after I read where’s she’s a professor at. She’s one of the instructors in Learning How To Learn https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn
JabavuAdams · 2 years ago
Yeah, I had the same realization. Loved that course.
