6yo learning fractions with Synthesis. Teaching style is Socratic. Answer correctly, get increasingly challenging follow-up questions. Lover her proud face at 1:10. That justified pride in what you've learned is the best motivator. Far better than points or leaderboards.

Voice mode is in beta. When you’re in a lesson, hit the pause button and turn on voice mode to access. May not be ideal for many 5/6 year olds. Voice mode works better the better your enunciation is.

Elon nails exactly what's wrong with education here and what needs to change. You may not know he actually started a remarkable school at SpaceX for his kids based on his principles... The school was called Ad Astra, Latin for “to the stars”. Elon hired Josh Dahn to build and run the school. When Elon’s kids graduated, Josh and I cofounded Synthesis together. Our goal is to take the best parts of the SpaceX school and make them accessible to everyone. Elon famously follows a “first principles” approach. The primary principle of the school: A good education should produce people who can SOLVE PROBLEMS — real, complex problems with a team. Like how to colonize Mars. Not fake school worksheet problems. This principle was embodied in a class at the school called “Synthesis”. In the class, kids worked in teams to solve problems via complex games and simulations. The skills they build in Synthesis — working with a team, making tradeoffs, risk assessment and critical thinking — are the foundational skills they’ll need to solve problems in any domain. 1/2

Surprising progress from ~3 months of teaching the 8yo to do "keepy uppy" with a soccer ball. Some lessons learned... First, this skill is embedded in a larger goal that he cares about. He wants to be a better footballer (I hate calling it "soccer", which comes from a contraction of "association" 🤮). This means there is some baseline motivation. This helps you get through the times it sucks to practice. And by the way... It's ok if it sucks (just not too much). What you don't see here is him failing 1,000 times and rage quitting. Probably 1/3 of the sessions involve tears. But you get the biggest gains when you're in your "zone of proximal development" -- the place where it's not too hard, not too easy. It took a lot of cajoling to get him through the early sessions when there wasn't much progress yet. It has to be his choice. When he gets upset, I don't force him. I just ask him if he wants to quit. He never does. I think if I forced him to stick with it, he would be less motivated. By asking him to step outside his momentary frustration and make the decision to quit or not, I think I'm helping him have the space to think about how this connects to his larger goal. But I don't really know. Human motivation is mysterious. Long consistency + intensity, short duration. We do 15 minutes a day, every day. First thing in the morning. I believe duration of training is overrated. In school for example, I think we could get more learning in 30 intense minutes per day than we get in 6 hours a day plus homework now. It takes more effort to do 15 minutes of keepy uppy than it takes to do 2 hours of team practice. And I bet the payoff is higher. Same applies to learning anything. Encouragement is underrated. I watch him while I exercise and drink my coffee. I say "beautiful" even when he messes it up (I got that from Richard Williams, Venus and Serena's dad). I celebrate his PRs. I take videos and I chart his daily progress so he can see the wins. Three months ago he could get 3 at his max, now his average is over 30. Seeing this progress over time has made it easier for him to show up and do the work every day. One focus at a time. We interleave other soccer skills (like shooting and dribbling), but tend to hyper focus on one area at a time so that we see fast progress. We use the same principle in our homeschooling. We are always working on a few things at once, but there is only one priority at a time. Start easy to build momentum. When you start your kids on a skill, you just want to be able to get *any* success at all. Don't be afraid to make it so easy it almost doesn't seem like the same skill. When we started I had him let the ball bounce between each kick. If I didn't do that it would have been so much harder for him to do keep uppy that he might have just quit. You want kids to get momentum in any skill, and you shouldn't be afraid to make the first steps so easy it almost doesn't seem like even the same skill. Focus on fundamentals. You might ask if keepy uppy is even important, since the real game is played mostly on the ground. The reason is found in the slight shuffling of his feet between each hit. In the real game, the quality of your control touch, shooting, and dribbling primarily comes down to these micro foot movements and how they position your body for balance. Keepy uppy trains the nervous system to a level of precision that is otherwise hard to attain. For education, the analogy is probably to something like reading. Reading is fundamental and makes you better at learning everything else, even if what you're reading about is unrelated to what you'll learn later. Students today would probably be better off just reading more vs. doing most of what passes today for "education." Beware of thresholds. The best people at keep uppy are not pro footballers. Every skill has a threshold where getting better at it confers little extra benefit. In education, I think the most obvious example is math. Everyone needs to master some fundmentals, but beyond it's rare to become more successful by getting better at math. Your effort is better spent on some complementary skill where you are weaker. Dress for success. Just kidding. I don't know why he's dressed like a ninja. That's all for now. Would love to hear how you guys think about building skills in the comments. 🙏

NBA2K26 Leaderboards, aka the “Top 10” Cheaters Every single person from 1–10 is a cheater in some way, shape, or form. The craziest thing about this is that 80% of these people are doing their grind offline because they know exactly what they’re doing. This is reality. This is what’s going on, and this is what is now technically being “encouraged.” Years ago, people would grind to get on these leaderboards to make a name for themselves. Now, at least for the moment since the rep race is over, it’s a proving ground to show who is the best cheater. THAT'S INSANE. Clip Credit: (QuavoQuavo23) Change is needed, and FAST #NBA2K26

Amazon went from $113 to $6. Then it went up and never looked back down there. PulseChain is better than Bitcoin, with more features, more opportunity, better security, lower fees, higher throughput. PLSX is better than UNI with real buy and burn. HEX is amazing too with 5 years of flawless operation. What we have now is far better than it needs to be and the only thing missing is for people to know about it! If you've been in Bitcoin, Ethereum or lots of cryptocurrencies long enough, you've seen similar price moves and still gone on to see new all time high prices. Changing the world with computer science breakthrough level technology takes a little while. Hang in there :)

This woman is sharing a moment she had during a lucid dream: sitting in a big ski-lodge-style restaurant with 60-70 people. She realizes she’s dreaming, gets curious, walks up to a table and politely asks someone, “Excuse me, do you have the date and time?” The person looks at her and says, “You shouldn’t have done that.” In that instant, every single person in the restaurant stands up in single file and walks out — completely ignoring her. Then the dream shifts and her dad shows up to take her for coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts. Our minds are far more powerful and mysterious than we realize. Sometimes when we start exploring them — even in a dream — the answers we get aren’t what we expect. But that doesn’t mean we should stop asking questions, staying curious, or paying attention to the messages our subconscious is trying to send. Dreams like this are invitations to wake up a little more in our waking life too. Have you ever had a lucid dream… or asked a question inside one and gotten a wild answer? Or had a dream that left you wondering what it meant? Drop it below — I have a feeling a lot of us have stories.

StyleDrop: Text-to-Image Generation in Any Style introduce StyleDrop, a method that enables the synthesis of images that faithfully follow a specific style using a text-to-image model. The proposed method is extremely versatile and captures nuances and details of a user-provided style, such as color schemes, shading, design patterns, and local and global effects. It efficiently learns a new style by fine-tuning very few trainable parameters (less than 1% of total model parameters) and improving the quality via iterative training with either human or automated feedback. Better yet, StyleDrop is able to deliver impressive results even when the user supplies only a single image that specifies the desired style. An extensive study shows that, for the task of style tuning text-to-image models, StyleDrop implemented on Muse convincingly outperforms other methods, including DreamBooth and textual inversion on Imagen or Stable Diffusion. paper page:

The headlines after a DeFi hack tend to blame decentralization. Eddy Lazzarin ☀️ makes the case for the opposite read: "Of the hacks that I looked most closely at over the last 30 days, many of them would've been mitigated by more decentralization, not less. In other words, the decentralization part wasn't the bug. The bug was that they were unexpectedly more centralized than many people believed." "With almost every crypto adjacent hack I've seen, the response has something to do with let's get more parties involved and decentralized and remove single points of failure." "We have not learned that decentralization is bad. What we've learned is that inadvertent single points of failure is bad, which is a thing that we've always known. In its ideal form, DeFi is still more secure."
