When I asked him what he makes of the cognitive science research, he told me he thinks scientists focus too much on word recognition. He still doesn't believe accurate word recognition is necessary for reading comprehension.

"Word recognition is a preoccupation," he said. "I don't teach word recognition. I teach people to make sense of language. And learning the words is incidental to that."

He brought up the example of a child who comes to the word "horse" and says "pony" instead. His argument is that a child will still understand the meaning of the story because horse and pony are the same concept.

I pressed him on this. First of all, a pony isn't the same thing as a horse. Second, don't you want to make sure that when a child is learning to read, he understands that /p/ /o/ /n/ /y/ says "pony"? And different letters say "horse"?

He dismissed my question.

"The purpose is not to learn words," he said. "The purpose is to make sense."

this obviously seems straightforwardly awful on its own but combine this with the current roll-out of ai use in schools and you got yourself a mean stew brewing

LinkedIn post about how a guy got a job interview at Strava by running a route that spelled HIRE ME on the map

HIRE ME written on the map (looking more like HIRE NE tbh)

commenter asks if the guy got the job and OP says “I don't think so. But his effort got him noticed and a foot in the door when so many others didn't”

gang stalking but its the grocery store workers inserting the more expensive price labels whenever I go shopping, predicting what route I'm gonna take thru the store, which items I need... I see it now

That green base wasn't the only color that ended up looking washed out in the final design

Fighting-Games Daily @fgcdaily.bsky.social · 2d

🎨Bayonetta's character designer, Mari Shimazaki made Miary Zo's Costume 03!

“The combination of a green base with red accents was inspired by the Madagascar flag, and from an early stage onwards, a white inner layer was incorporated to highlight Miariz's dark skin.”

So the background to the story is this. And you can read my whole article here (direct download of a pdf) static1.squarespace.com/static/55577...

between 1929 and 1930 a feud erupted in the pages of the culture periodical Der Kreis: Zeitschrift für künstlerische Kultur. The conflict, later dubbed the Hamburg Facsimile Debate, was instigated by Max Sauerlandt, director of the Hamburg Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, who condemned as a fake a recent electroform reproduction of the thirteenth-century Bamberg Rider. The dispute attracted numerous responses and became a focal point for emerging ideas about authenticity and the educative impact of the replica in the Weimar Republic.

Just as we helped our friends flee Israel’s bombardment of Gaza City, we now must support their return — to reclaim their hometown and rebuild their lives.

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

The takes on Absolum are radicalizing me. I really think more arcade devs need to adapt procgen without synergies because if they don't provide an alternative to synergy games, that shit will infect everything and erode the games. Shoutouts to Rolling Bird for not including ANY of that

Was shown a hyper-niche Procedural generated Arcade game called "Rolling Bird" that only costs 1$

Feels like another Post-Void type find

there was a documentary about The Spook Who Sat By The Door released in 2011 (Infiltrating Hollywood) that boosted that film's rep quite strongly, feel like that's one of the big leftist movies now

i played uncharted 2, mass effect 2, and ac brotherhood back-to-back in 2010 after everyone only had positive things to say about those, and it basically fully drained me of any interest in any further popular expensively-made studio games.
