🌞Another day, another @cepeo-ucl.bsky.social working paper 🌚

Our PhD student @robbiemaris.bsky.social examines a recent major reform to the UK education system:

the introduction of T levels - a qualification that aims to blend the academic and vocational

Rudely interjecting, but I feel I should say welcome.

And, yes, use Zotero.

Almost always do this at renewal to avoid upward creep in the premium. Basically, as long as they don’t have any ongoing conditions it’s worth seriously considering.

Not the point I know, but I always find it particularly grating that they could also be more concise themselves by using “concision” instead of the ponderous “conciseness”.

🔬 PALS researchers in npj Science of Learning show that people unconsciously track irrelevant probabilities, reshaping perception – sometimes causing lasting “statistical deafening.”

GCSE results are out:

On the surface, today’s results seem cause for relative optimism.

Despite this cohort’s tough time — both final year at primary & first year of secondary were disrupted by COVID; rates of SEND and mental health issues also up among this group — there’s no results drop off.

A level results are out! And as many have reported, there was an overall improvement in the proportion of students gaining the top grades.

But its not good news for everyone: with London & the South East continuing to pull away from the rest of the country, and boys slightly ahead of girls.

I use this for local code auto-complete, and the de-censored DeepSeek R1 as a more general model that can run decently on my machine. That’s been a nice combo for me.

I’m hoping someone distils the gpt-oss models further, since they’re open source, but guess we’ll see.

Potentially useful for you to benchmark against, mine is Mac M2 with 16GB memory and it took, like 45 minutes to respond to the prompt “hello”! I regret not getting one with more memory…

If you have a similar experience then perhaps give the OpenRouter free model a go

Ah, not directly from OpenAI, it seems. But certainly OpenRouter if you set up an account and API key there. There’s even a free model variant there (albeit with things like tools support turned off): openrouter.ai/openai/gpt-o...

I’ve not tried yet, but had been thinking about it. Looks eminently doable either by installing locally with ollama & using ellmer’s chat_ollama() function (if your computer is powerful enough: mine is not, hence only thoughts so far), or by calling it from OpenAI or OpenRouter with those functions.

Re: your link about the Chiltern weekly replacement bus service, I think you’ll enjoy learning that — just to add to the general ludicrousness of the situation — it was for a time operated by a great big Oxford Tube coach busandtrainuser.com/2023/06/15/b...

Use of “trending” about anything that isn’t a process drives to me distraction when reviewing (and at all other times). 😤

Further evidence of England's improvement in maths today with the release of the TIMSS 2023 test which allows for comparisons across countries.

Particularly good news at year 9 (13 year olds) where we've seen a decent jump despite the pandemic (unlike other countries).
