At the core, it’s not really a race against your peers. It’s a race against time. Accelerating helps you find your place in the world before time closes in on you and forces you to settle for something else.

That’s why I’m so excited by the prospect of eliminating educational friction, solving the thermodynamic efficiency of education, and building machines that make people insanely skilled as efficiently as possible.

There’s a large gap between the standard math curriculum that students learn at school, and the additional skills that show up on standardized exams like the SAT, ACT, etc. We’re working to fill it.

It’s amazing how fun a seemingly boring thing can become once you develop a habit, establish some baseline competence, and get some skin in the game.

I’m wondering if there will be support added for using vaults inside of WSL? Currently when I open a vault inside WSL, it errors out and never loads. The main driving factor for wanting the vault inside WSL for me is so…

If you are willing to train seriously to achieve a goal, don’t let yourself get faked out and discouraged by how long it takes people who don’t take their training seriously.

Getting useful results from your AI assistant often comes down to the instructions you give it. Most developers treat that step casually, then wonder why the output is mediocre. One of the simplest ways1 to improve this is to keep one set of master instructions in an AGENTS.md file. In it, you define persistent rules that shape every interaction with the agent. Writing those instructions once is easy enough. Keeping them in sync is the annoying part. If you use more than one tool, things drift fast. So I keep one repo as the source of truth for my AI setup, then wire my tools and projects back to it. This post is the simple version of that setup.

The way you increase your ability to make mental leaps is not actually by jumping farther, but rather, by building bridges that reduce the distance you need to jump.

To build automaticity: instead of deriving/reasoning a result before applying it, force yourself to first recall the result from memory, and then justify the it afterwards. Recall first, reason second.

Use case or problem I have a few properties I would like to display in bases that can quickly cause the base to scroll horizontally. It would be far better to read these cells if they didn’t occupy a single line. Propos…

You’d think that teacher training programs would focus on the mechanics of learning, but instead they typically focus on ritualistic compliance. If we trained doctors like we do teachers, then we’d still be bloodletting. Teacher credentialing severely lacks rigor, and this lack of rigor leads to a massive loss in human potential. Students suffer for it, and it drives serious educators out of the profession. It attracts and supports the type of people who think it’s more important to practice sharing circles than to learn about the importance and implementation of spaced review. When you make it your mission to maximize student learning – including leveraging the learning-enhancing practice techniques that have been known, reproduced, and yet ignored by the education system for decades – you realize that there is a massive amount of human potential being left on the table. Students can be learning way, way, way more than they currently are.
