I see people worrying about this shit while walking on cliff edges, honking down cans of energy drinks and puffing away on vapes. There are probably larger health and risk considerations to make in your life.

An argument perhaps that there should not be hundreds in a room.
Some of their stuff works really well, and they have prof customers who love it. The CEO went on a tour to visit their biggest customers in person and several of them said they couldn't imagine going back.
Unfortunately as a whole the industry is not interested in it, aside from a few small niches and department heads who are both open minded and actually care about the integrity of the education. There have even been cases where profs want it and the dean or admin in charge of academic integrity vetoes its adoption. I've been privy to some calls I can only characterize as corrupt.
There is something deeply broken about higher Ed, the economics, the culture of the students, the culture of the faculty, the leadership... This isn't an AI problem it's a society problem.
When the students genuinely want to learn something and they are there for the knowledge, not the credit, cheating isn't a problem.
Oh, that great! My major point of friction with LaTeX is that using unicode is not straightforward. You sort of can, by including the right packages and using the right interpreters, but it imposes strange constraints involving the fonts that you can use and whatnot.
Regarding the usage, it's probably my fault. I tried to compile it locally and it didn't work at first (requires newer rustc version).
Possibly you are describing how it used to be before the input encoding standard for LaTeX switched to UTF-8?
The central problem with math is that you have an infinite amount of space within which to move these goalposts.
How many variants on this trial before we find a mistake?
What is an acceptable error rate?
you have to tell them
Yup! Justin (who posted this to HN) is trying to solve that by having a software system tell students exactly which exercise to do next.BTW thank you for freely sharing your textbooks.
Let me pick on B, on spaced learning and interleaving. In those two paragraphs there are no concrete examples. If a student asks, "OK, I'm at the library and I have my book open. What do I do?" then the answer is not there.
I'll talk about college math because that's what I teach.
If you want students to learn what to do, you have to tell them. Maybe, "Set your timer to a half hour, pick out five problems, three from the current section and two from sections you did last week, and do them. If you get stuck take a peek at the answer, but don't peek until you are stuck. If you get really stuck, mark the question in your notebook and ask about it at the start of the next class. But under no circumstances just read the book." Then you have told them how to practice recall and to interleave in a way that they can actually do it.
Four half hours remembering how to do both current problems and also some from before for every hour spent in class is a good whack at learning the class's material, at least in the first two years.
Just using the two words recall and interleave is not enough.
That’s not to detract from the excellent post, just that this isn’t a mathematical trick that exploits some structure of primes but rather an incredibly clever way to write a computer program.
