It blows my mind that as SFUSD Superintendent Richard Carranza got rid of 8th grade Alg 1 for all students in SFUSD in the name of equity, then in his subsequent job as NYC Dept of Ed Chancellor declared a policy of 8th grade Alg 1 for all in the name of equity. Complete…
I'm repeatedly amused by people making a big deal of formal complaints being anonymous, as if that signifies they must be illegitimate. Not that I'm an expert, but aren't such things _usually_ anonymous, to protect the complainant from retaliation? Below taken from a UC Berkeley…
it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting. YIMBY policies work

I'm sure Berkeley is awesome but it's not exactly an overlooked institution. I'm much more impressed with places like University of Illinois Urbana Champaign which has unbelievable STEM programs and has an acceptance rate of 44%.
Also, donors: donate to state schools. Eg Berkeley graduates more undergrads per year than the total 4-year undergrad population of Stanford, and with a much smaller endowment/budget. Higher % Pell grant recipients (almost double), higher % first-gen (50% higher). 1/
Working on real projects, side projects, open source, and just making things for fun is the antidote to this A lot of people with CS degrees can't actually build anything But the world will unfold for you if you not only prove you can build, but that you build for fun

@minilek @CAMathCouncil We had a UC member on the CFCC this time around as well.
This is actually incredible.
This public comment from the SF math department is something in hindsight. Remember, these folks *knew* claims were unsupportable because of May 2020 internal analysis I received through CPRA June 2021. Also this slide from Feb 2024 exposes them further. cde.app.box.com/s/ouayumic9ker…

@minilek @dhabecker @CAMathCouncil However, we must all be careful to avoid misleading educators, parents, and the public into thinking that a kid is in some way behind because they are taking a course specifically designed for their grade level, nested in a larger sequence of math development. 12/
@minilek @dhabecker @CAMathCouncil Having taught both 8th-grade math and Alg 1 to students in the CC era, I wholeheartedly believe we have students in our system ready for Alg 1 in MS, and we should support them to get there! 11/
@minilek @CAMathCouncil And I believe you! This is a great example of how a well-intended idea met the primary objective of a think tank; however, it had different interpretations once it went beyond the original group. Drafts are drafts for a reason. We expect them to be revised with input over time.
@StorySlug @RottenInDenmark The only people “suffering” from an “oversupply” of housing are landlords and investment firms that have bought up a ton of housing and now can’t rent it out for as much $$
@sam_d_1995 @RottenInDenmark The framing of that headline and subhead are wild, though. "Nosedive," "oversupply," like... do you want people to be able to live in your city or don't you?
it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting. YIMBY policies work
In a new preprint with Jarek Blasiok, @rares_buhai, David Steurer, we show a surprisingly simple greedy algorithm that can list decode planted cliques in the semirandom model at k~sqrt n log^2 n --essentially optimal up to log^2 n. This ~resolves @JacobSteinhardt's open question.
I've some exciting news! Like much of my recent work, also inspired by Uri Feige's conjectures. With Rares Buhai & David Steurer (during a beautiful Zurich summer), we found new algos for semirandom planted clique at thresholds approaching "usual" PC. arxiv.org/abs/2212.05619

Jo Boaler cannot claim victimhood. Note to young math-ed scholars. Those of you who thought a claim of 2.8 years of progress from summer school was bogus were right! Don't be bullied by the NCTM-Boaler math establishment! Insist on empirical evidence! You are the hope.
