@adamboxer1 ...and you didn't even mention how kids are routinely shown Youtube ads even in primary school, coz teachers don't know how to block them
Arithmetic annihilation - a tower defence game for primary school kids to learn maths. (Same as vocab annihilation but with maths) Works on mobile and desktop. rupertlinacre.com/arithmetic_ann… For best experience on mobile, install as an app ('add to home screen' from Chrome)
@Dimillian i couldn't immediately understand the gui in codex so i commit from vs code 🙃
My free letterpaths library now has: - A freehand writing app for use with stylus - Print and pre-cursive worksheet generation - A font (.otf, .ttf, .woff2) that you can use in desktop apps e.g. Word or on web - Capital letters - Kerning between each letter pair set manually
We just launched Sites into Codex! Software creation was always about more than writing code. Sites in Codex fundamentally gives the power of end-to-end software creation to every user, no matter their technical fluency. These Sites are fully deployed to a URL, private to workspaces, come with authentication, can have static files, and can store dynamic data in databases. It is in preview for business and enterprise teams and will be rolling out to all workspaces over the next day. Give it a try by typing @ Sites into Codex and ask it to build anything! This project took a massive amount of effort across hundreds of people at OpenAI - proud that we were able to get this out and excited to see what you all build with it!
For those having to adjust to the new pricing in VS Code Copilot, here's an interactive chart showing (roughly) the relative usage-based cost of different models robinlinacre.com/relative_costs…
Vocab annihilation, a kids' game for learning new words rupertlinacre.com/vocab_annihila…
New blog: Optimising DuckDB performance on large EC2 instances. A few simple changes can make workloads run multiple times faster: - Fewer threads can result in higher performance - Pay careful attention to disk I/O - Experiment with how to write data to S3 Link in 🧵
@thsottiaux Very simple, but it's amazing to be able to create on-demand tools for helping kids learn maths: rupertlinacre.com/decimal_placem…
@thsottiaux I want the phone app to be able to stream the contents of the browser from the desktop machine, so rather than just sending screenshots of what I'm working on, I can interactive with the live app on my phone
@MathCurmudgeon @mrbartonmaths Also interesting: give the image to ChatGPT and it immediately identifies the error.
@MathCurmudgeon @mrbartonmaths You're right and that is fascinating. I had kindof assumed that the Desmos version (which I found online) would be easier to get right because the constraints would be easier to specify/harder to get wrong. An interesting lesson into likelihood of human error vs hallucination
@mrbartonmaths Aware of arxiv.org/html/2407.1754… but when I fiddled with this a year or so ago, it wasn't anywhere near as easy as I hoped. So much potential though
@mrbartonmaths Interesting! Shame Desmos doesn't (yet?) have a decent LLM interface since they've done such a good job making the building blocks to make this kind of thing. e.g. feels like it should become easy to make new things similar to this: desmos.com/geometry/iwswp…
@reach_vb Number lanes, a lane crossing game that forces your kid to do maths! Aligned to UK primary school curriculum. Play here (desktop only): rupertlinacre.com/number_lanes/
Continuing on my search for good game mechanics for maths games for kids. This one is a lane crossing game: rupertlinacre.com/number_lanes/ This seems to work well because it's fun (at least accordingly to my 7yo), but there's no time pressure to answer the questions.
@AlKingsley_Edu good example of what one person can do in a few days work with AI assistance
Introducing letterpaths 1.0, free software for teaching cursive writing. Blog w/ examples, videos + worksheet generator: robinlinacre.com/letterpaths_bl… As far as I can tell, this is the best free and open source library for building handwriting tools according the the UK curriculum
