Stimulating piece on Scottish education in @asteriskmgzn: https://t.co/jyTk8uTT1J. I suspect that discussions of canon, culture, and shared context to return to the fore in the coming years, as many skills, narrowly-construed, are ceded to AI, and as some of the excesses of de-Arnoldization, and the processes that Arendt described in her writing on education, start to recede. I’m curious on the causal linkage between PISA scores and the reforms he describes. It feels like a very exciting time to be a theorist of education, and I assume that the best work will come from surprising places. Related

A short illustration of how the Claude's watermarking is supposed to work (based on my read of their released materials). In general, when we are generating tokens, there can be multiple high-scoring tokens at certain next-word positions. Usually, we sample with top-k or top-p sampling so the highest-scoring token is most often selected (if we repeat the sampling many times), but other tokens may be selected as well. With watermarking, there is a key that says which of the (ideally equally) highest-scoring tokens to select. Or, more concretely, the secret key and previous token influence the… Quoting @AnthropicAI We’ve written an FAQ to answer some of the questions we've received about watermarking. In summary: • We’re implementing watermarking to comply with the EU AI Act. Other major model developers have signed the same Code of Practice and will also be implementing watermarking; • Our watermarking metho… Anthropic Related

Exciting PlasticList update: We were honored to work with @bobaguys to identify and eliminate the sources of BPA contamination, and their teas are now BPA-free!

a new relationship is like fresh powder. It is new and shiny and exciting but it will not be a new relationship for long. And then you're still stuck with an old relationship and the question is will your old relationship a year from now be better than your old relationship that you currently have is? And if the answer is yes then yes sunk costs completely apply. But if the answer is no then what you're really doing is shopping for novelty not ignoring sunk costs.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
