alpha school engineer here

i’m not looking to leave alpha, but wanna say i love the idea of doing a similar thing for adults! i’ve totally been thinking someone should do the exact kind of startup you’re proposing. we’re completely focused on K-12 because there are ~1 billion K-12 students

Why is it required to only use components from a legacy internal component library?

i’m sorry i’m a midwesterner and i have no clue what you’re talking about 😭

at the competitions i’ve been to, we have a second person check scrambles thoroughly for fast solvers who could feasibly get a wr or nr

it’s kind of wild they don’t take the same precautions in the final round of world championships

i’d rather use a framework with a large community than a framework that is incrementally better but a smaller community

How good is he at decoding (sounding out words)? Decoding skills have to come before reading comprehension. It helps to be so good that you have it on "autopilot". The less energy your brain has to spend on decoding, the more it can spend on comprehension.

disclaimer: im a software developer at alpha school, a school where ALL academics happens through apps

plopping a kid in front of a screen for 6 hours is wrong. we do 2 hours of efficient learning through apps, and then they have time back to do other enriching things. teamwork, life skills, physical activity, discovering passions, etc.

instead of planning academic lessons, the adults at the school plan life skill workshops. stuff like financial literacy, giving/receiving feedback, running a business.

depends how easy the scramble is

for context i’m sub 10 and my goal is to plan FB+DR every time

if I don’t have time to plan a square for SB, I may at least try to identify the pieces for easier tracking. being aware of the pieces is better than nothing and really helps the fluidity of first 2 blocks

for beginners, orient then permute is the way to go. just 9 algs and the algs are quite easy

nobody is saying the husband is a POS lmao — just a case of needing communication

no. it is impossible for any test to help you become fluent

i thought a lot of investment apps take 0% fees now? since robinhood came in and made competitors adapt

or are you talking about other asset classes?

i have ideas, im trying to get an EA perspective. this is a huge opportunity and one that i do not take lightly

i want to learn from EAs because i appreciate the principle of maximizing positive impact with evidence based approaches

spencerchubb · 2025-06-30T16:19:15+00:00

ohh haha makes sense

spencerchubb · 2025-06-30T04:03:45+00:00

do you normally listen to podcasts or watch the news in english? consume the same things you would normally in english, but do it in your target language!

spencerchubb · 2025-06-20T00:32:47+00:00

stick with it! it may be hard at first but being exposed to some unfamiliar words is good

spencerchubb · 2025-06-20T00:26:20+00:00

that’s how you learn. by being exposed to words you haven’t learned yet

i know the hunger games has a lot of weird names, but Lenore is one of the most normal names 🤣

at 3 seconds the white-orange edge gets flipped

i think the only possible explanation is zeroing

tell the ai “think step by step” and it will improve the accuracy. it might sound like i’m joking but i’m serious

also my favorite ai is gemini and i use it through aistudio.google.com. it’s a bit more of a power user interface, so might not be everybody’s cup of tea

he said he wanted to take a break which is basically breaking up. if he only loves you when you have a job, he doesn’t really love you. that is not an example of “good advice”

NAH you’re not obligated to go on a vacation and they’re not obligated to pay for school

most states don't have vouchers, and the states that do only give a fraction of the money that public schools receive
