It's been a decade+ since I used to catch the Green line at Park St, but at that time it was the noisiest, squealiest station that I regularly used. Not surprising to learn that parts of that station are left over from the 1890s.
It's deafening

Some very important context that the researchers don't mention: during the same period that they are claiming test scores improved because of phone bans, Florida changed the way they administer standardised tests. Starting in 2024, they switched from doing one end-of-year assessment and started administering more frequent tests throughout the year in order to better gauge a student's progress and provide a tighter feedback loop. (source: https://www.educationadvanced.com/blog/florida-standardized-...)
It's much more likely that simply changing the way they administer these tests had a more significant impact on test scores than phone bans.
In other words, correlation does not imply causation
I genuinely do not understand the evaluations of the US AI industry. The chinese models are so close and far cheaper

Pretend for a moment that capital investors do any work. Can AI replace that work?
The investment bankers I know worked harder than any software developer to get where they are.
