How to Almost Learn Anything

 How to almost Learn Anything class from MIT.

Whats the big idea  from IBM.

"As an educator and friend of children I saw new opportunities for children to understand, to love, and to use ideas that had previously been inaccessible to them" - Seymour Papert, author of Mindstorms: Children, Computers and Powerful ideas.

This idea of accessiblity is also echoed in Russell Kirsch's - "I guess, I’ve always believed that nothing is withheld from us what we have conceived to do. Most people think the opposite – that all things are withheld from them which they have conceived to do and they end up doing nothing."

The Having of Wonderful Ideas

When or how do kids learn conservation, transitivity and spatial coordinates?

Transitional momeny in learning

1. The right question at the right time can move children to peaks in their thinking.

2. Children can raise the right question for themselves if the setting is right.

Reverse index

Looking at this overloaded  page on typesense , I wanted to understand some of the terms. A  good example  of reverse index is when you have to search for 234, 235, 236. Here it makes sense to find the differeing last number sooner than the initial long, same numbers.  The time to  dynamically reconstruct inverted index  is important.

Music and NFT

Like  Audius  could   Spotify and othe rmusic companies let both their company and a network be controlled by token holders. Of the 11B music industry, how much can be NFT driven? Solana block chain Which existing blockchain/NFT platforms can add music to their offerings? If they cant add, what stops them from it? Is it fragmented customer base when it comes to music choice? Are cetain types of music lovers more congregative? Is enjoying music seen as a solitary hobby or as a group one? For example, our fitness instructor realises that different kind of people have different taste when it comes to workout music and hence asks if we want hers on or not.
