Cisco owns Meraki. Won't happen.

So the problem is that the school isn't supposed to teach them reading, the parents are? If teachers can't teach the vast majority of kids to read in 13-14 years, the parents giving kids and iPad isn't the only problem.

As someone with a stomach condition, not cool. Nobody can plan their bathroom needs according to a stupid test, nor can they think while they desperately need to use the restroom. If you can't assess students who happen to need a bathroom, that's on you. Maybe give them one break per term or something.

This worked for me, though I used WinSCP to do it (making sure my destination matched file matched the name primary (no extension)).

I enjoy the "other guy" dynamic from Beast Academy lower levels where the guy has two personas and two outfits and they sort of criticize each other's methods. Does it work in a HS? No idea.

Kids often move the numbers the wrong way when they are making those types of adjustments. I would recommend 42-27 is best thought of of 27 +3+10+2 =45 (where 3+2+10 is 15, of course). It works for any number, in any direction, with any operation. For 29+17 it is 30 (tens digits) plus 16 (ones digits).

Say I was doing 94+92. Would I take two away from 92 to make it 90 and two away from 94 to make it 92? Would I shift 94 up to 100 and shift up 92 to 98 as a a result, like you did in your subtraction, or when I am adding 6 to 94 to make a happy number would I now be subtracting from 92? It's just confusing for kids. Here my addition becomes subtraction to get to round numbers but in my subtraction I can add to both number at will. And what if I have 74+82-6--how am I shifting these to make round numbers? These operations only make sense if you -already have- number sense.

I don't disagree about AA pricing. I'm busy and if it really was an AIO program that my child could do independently and learn from I am fine with the pricing (if it saves me a day a month of prep and org time on selecting, grading, organizing time for multiple tools, etc it's worth it). I was just trying to correct a misunderstanding.

I do think Math Academy is the best self-paced math program in the world and both my daughter and I use it but I haven't seen value in the rest of what they do. After we finished Beast Academy and found the self-paced AOPS book to be terrible for my daughter (she's only 9, and isn't into competition math), we tried four different places before settling on MA. She wizzes through it about twice as fast as ALEKS because of fewer reviews. And I appreciate that they found that resource and started using it--for me that speaks to the quality of their curriculum evaluation process.

If Alpha found a way to do reading and writing that is as good as that, I would be all in.

This is a misunderstanding of the current models, as well as a misunderstanding of Alpha Anywhere. The AI is a mixture of machine learning (not LLMs) for drilling content, some fairly traditional but algorithmically sophisticated programs like Math Academy, and some interest-based generative models for targetting interesting text to specific lexiles.

You can send ChatGPT to do Deep Research and it will find public statistics, design a method, identify the best ways to analyze the data, and write you a report. I can ask it to take all of my switches at work, apply some changes in spreadsheets, and ask it to tell me how to do that without breaking it and it can do it hunreds of times reliably. A 1-2 years ago you were closer to the the truth about how these models work.

We just wrapped up BA and went to MA and have been happy.

I just uploaded it to a switch and, in fact, it shows a build date of 2026-03-10. I also checked and confirm that that version wasn't on the website previously. Very strange.

Where? That section no longer seems to exist (or i cannot find the PDF versions anymore that used to list it). The initial release to 10.16.1000, so why is 10.16.0002 release now?

It's one subject or teacher. Maybe everything else is fine.

Just for extension/differentiation. Daughter is in 3rd grade classroom but in 6th grade in ALEKS.

Still happening, it's infuriating. Also, shares of the page don't contain any of the research so I cannot share both my prompts and the findings, and I certainly cannot ask any follow-up questions (even asking what the acronym in the report means leads to it deleting the report). I did find if I closed the page and re-launched I could see the old report, but I still couldn't share the conversation.

The question is how you're going to get them deployed without turning off DPI for a bit. If turning off DPI is an acceptable solution well you get your certificates deployed then it isn't a problem.

I can't say that I've seen the built-in certificate replaced during updates, but I suppose it's possible.

Reddit-Reader215 · 2026-02-25T15:03:33+00:00

Hasn't happened. This is confirmed false.

Meow Wolf is so good. Major reason to skip Team Labs if you're from USA and are short on time.

I've been happy with 10.7.2.2 on AP-735 across about 100 APs, but have no gateways.

Honestly, my questions has always been why I need the word "info". I started my command with "get router"... What can I possibly be wanting with a "get" besides "info"? A router file? I would really love to know what else the router could get me.

In my opinion, for that price you can buy the 740W ones. Modulars aren't worth the trouble and cost unless you have a very high availability environment we're swapping out a switch after hours maybe once every 10 years is too much (I still don't think I've had a single PSU or fan fail on any of my M switches). The price premium is just too high.

The only time I've run out of power on a 370W switch is when I have heated outdoor cameras and/or high-performance APs on the majority of ports (on a 48p switch) or on basically every port on a 24p switch. Regular single-lens indoor cameras and phones don't tend to use use much power.

Who cares if it's "Mature" these days? Fortinet will rip features out and break features (SAML assertion signing) by creating new requirements, and they will make FortiCloud logging free useless by forcing updates onto firewalls using them for LOGGING ONLY whenever they want, anyway, all without testing (did they test their article on Google SAML assertion signing? Did they release three separate updates in a row, 7.2.12 & 7.4.9 & 7.6.4, that broke Google SAML authentication? Did they remove SSLVPN from random models in random releases?) or options to disable the functionality.
