Thank you!

We actually made the course ourselves, following James Stewart's Calculus and our own approach to teaching these topics (we're two PhD students). We wrote everything in English first, then translated it into other languages.

AI accelerated our workflow, we prompted the visuals and explanations we wanted, then polished the results ourselves. So we're confident in the teaching quality and correctness of these videos, they're not pure AI artifacts :)

That’s a great workflow, any plans for covering more advanced math topics in the near future?

And the actual github repo with the standards:

https://github.com/TAUI-Standards/taui-standards

Note that json schema of the standard isn’t rendered on the TAUI-0001.md spec file, however the website displays both.

Very interesting, how do you validate the correctness of the generated visuals? And that a previous lesson, say 5 videos ago ensures that the concept being explained now had its prerequisite covered?

I assume you could do a topological sorting of the content to ensure prerequisites are covered, but I'm curious on how automated this could be.

Looks super cool either way!

Very cool, especially given that it’s a two person team. I will be checking this out on the weekend.

Also I’m super curious on how you’re attempting to have more realistic physics with post training.

Haha I love the concept! What if you allowed smaller local llms loaded in the browser as an unpaid intern tier? You wouldn’t charge an hourly wage for using them but you could charge for the “skills” you teach them so make them useful. Just a suggestion, don’t take it as prescriptive.

I think whenever a new technology comes out, there will always be some new jobs to:

- build (LLM research engineers)

- integrate into existing systems (LLMOPS and AI engineers)

But I think besides those obvious ones, there will be lots of new combinations of LLMs and other technology that we won’t be able to predict, but in hindsight seem like it was destined to happen.

I've been using Haskell professionally for the last 5 years, I definitely hope I can continue!

Genuinely curious on the types of projects you use Haskell for! I’ve been thinking of learning it beyond the lightweight treatment I got during my CS degree.

Highly recommend you read this book series (all free online)

The Architecture of Open Source Applications

https://aosabook.org/en/

Then afterwards diving into a repo based on the map given to you by the textbook.
