We did back-to-school night for our ninth grader and I came away wanting to re-enroll myself. The CS teacher (28 years in the classroom) convinced me that what computer programming really teaches is attention to detail, one misplaced space breaks the whole thing, and the Spanish teacher, who grew up under Franco with his left hand literally tied to his chair for writing right-handed, had a philosophy so good I almost asked if I could come on Monday. After the break, I get into the AI mathematics controversy. OpenAI announced their agents solved the Navier-Stokes equations using 10,000 agents over 88 hours on a problem humans have worked on for 60 years, but an NYU mathematician and an Anthropic researcher claim OpenAI trained on their ongoing unpublished work without attribution, which is a more acute version of the IP argument that's followed AI from the start, and it bugs me in a way I don't have a clean answer for.
Takeaways:
Computer programming teaches attention to detail above almost everything else
OpenAI's Navier-Stokes announcement is a sharper version of AI's ongoing IP problem
The AI regulation debate keeps hitting the same wall
Franco's Spain was still enforcing Catholic baptism within 72 hours of birth and banning left-handedness well into the 1970s
High school is wasted on teenagers
