Bring not being

I am curious- when you travel with electronic bits do you get hassled at security? I’m travelling to Reggio Emilia in April from Canada and would like to being electronics but don’t want them taken at security. Or stopping me from going.

I like how you’ve recognized what the “secret sauce” is.

I watched the video (1.25 speed - saved some time). I can’t imagine wanting to use a checklist to count blocks used. One question only - did your program do what you wanted it to do? If yes, great! If no, try to fix it.

I’m in. Time to roll up our sleeves and use our collective wisdom to confront this challenge in thoughtful ways.

Thanks for spreading the joy of creative computation to more children. I had hoped to go this year but am choosing to go to Reggio Emilia instead in April.

I tried the smaller 1.5b model on a Pi5 8Gb last week. It could zip along with what I thought of as overly verbose - too many words! It also was consistently wrong factually and couldn’t even admit it. But it did so persuasively. If it doesn’t know who a person is they become a film director.

Now that’s a fine place to go on sabbatical!

I see the education system as a giant freighter. People in dinghies beside it discuss important ideas and write them on Post-its which get slapped onto the side of the freighter. The freighter smirks as they eventually fall off. Reform may be the wrong verb. The aspirations need to stay grand.

Micro education reform. Like those micro loans. Designed to fit the community rather than the nation.

You must know your right amount of training if it has taken years to “over-train”. Some people do that right away.

Seymour Papert talks about recursion in this old video. A computer provides the environment to express oneself recursively in many more ways.

He seems to like thinking like this. The draw a marker with a marker seems a bit similar.

Made me think of the word “recursion”.

What a clever, fun idea. It’s what we need to bring the simplicity of sensors to the discussion at the dinner table.

I always think that Bitcoin is just a risky and potentially costly game of musical chairs. The music will stop.

Thanks for doing this. You’ve had genius vision since #MLforKids started and still do.

I just had a look at this. I like the idea. I’ll give some thought to how younger kids might use it.

Glad you’ve asked. It’s not supposed to have been a secret. The short answer is version one finished in June and I am working on version 2 now. Notes and documentation will come when I finally have my own domain. I’ll send something by email over the next few days.

Doesn’t it depend on how long the row is?

It’s nice to hear that a focus on one’s health can achieve the success desired. I do have a question though: why do you think the blood flow sounds stopped in your ears? I have that and didn’t know I could fix it.

I like the old photo. You look delightfully lost in thought.

I’m newish to Linux but just got me one of these - no hassles to get it going - no Nvidia parts

This reminds me that we’re smarter than those who are running the system. Collectively we ought to be able to make change. It also reminded me of Harry Chapin’s comments prior to singing this song.
