What is DeepSeek and the $6 Million Side Project - Causing a Stir in the AI Industry

DeepSeek AI and the $6 Million Side Project That’s Causing a Stir in the Industry

So lets talk about DeepSeek. I couldn’t believe it was developed on just $6 million. In a world where AI projects routinely burn through hundreds of millions, here was this “side project” that was outperforming tech giants like ChatGPT and Gemini. A David and Goliath story? For movie fun it kind of reminds for of this scene from Tron Legacy, when Flynn dumped the ENCOM OS online for…

By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.

Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.

This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):

Here's a link on this for autism (though as an editor wow did that title need an editor lol):

Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.

But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:

Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.

Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation

Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.

Meditation

Martial arts

Sports in general

Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)

Woodworking

Cooking

If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers

Things can be easier. You might always have a disability around this (I certainly always will), but it can be easier. You do not have to be this stuck forever.

Tips for Choosing the Right Preschool for Your Child

Selecting the right preschool for your child is one of the most important decisions parents make during the early stages of their child’s development. The right environment nurtures curiosity, builds foundational skills, and instills a love for learning. With numerous options available, especially when exploring nursery school admission in Indore, it can be overwhelming to make the best choice. Here are some essential tips to guide you through the process.

1. Understand Your Child’s Needs

Every child is unique, and their needs differ. Consider your child’s personality, learning style, and social skills. If your child is active and thrives on interaction, look for schools with ample opportunities for group activities. On the other hand, if they are more reserved, a school with smaller class sizes and a nurturing environment may be better.

2. Research Curriculum and Teaching Philosophy

Preschools follow different teaching philosophies such as Montessori, play-based learning, or academic-focused approaches. Research the curriculum offered by various schools and evaluate whether it aligns with your expectations for early education. Many reputable CBSE schools in Indore incorporate preschool programs that balance academics, creativity, and holistic development.

3. Visit the School Campus

A visit to the preschool is crucial. It allows you to observe the environment, infrastructure, and overall ambiance. Check whether the classrooms are clean, safe, and age-appropriate. Ensure there are ample play areas, both indoors and outdoors, as children need a mix of physical activity and structured learning.

4. Assess Teacher Qualifications and Ratios

The quality of teachers plays a significant role in your child’s learning experience. Inquire about the qualifications and experience of the teaching staff. Additionally, the teacher-to-student ratio is critical. A low ratio ensures that each child gets adequate attention, which is particularly important during early education.

5. Evaluate Safety and Security Measures

Safety is a top priority when choosing a preschool. Ensure that the premises are secure, with controlled entry points and proper supervision. Fire safety protocols, first aid availability, and hygiene standards should also be assessed. This is especially vital when considering nursery school admission in Indore, as ensuring your child’s safety is non-negotiable.

6. Consider Proximity and Accessibility

While quality is essential, proximity matters too. A preschool that is closer to your home or workplace reduces travel time and ensures your child is not fatigued by a long commute. Many parents in Indore prefer preschools attached to a CBSE school in Indore, as they offer the added benefit of continuity into higher education.

7. Talk to Other Parents

Speaking with other parents whose children attend the school can provide valuable insights. They can share their experiences regarding the teaching methods, facilities, and overall satisfaction with the preschool. Parent reviews often offer a realistic perspective on what to expect.

8. Check Extracurricular Activities

A good preschool should offer activities beyond academics, such as art, music, dance, and sports. These activities enhance creativity and physical development, fostering a well-rounded growth environment for your child.

9. Inquire About Fees and Flexibility

Understand the fee structure and ensure it fits your budget. Inquire about any additional costs for activities, meals, or transportation. Some schools offer flexible timings or part-time programs, which can be beneficial for working parents.

10. Trust Your Instincts

Finally, trust your gut feeling. If a school feels right and you’re confident it aligns with your values and expectations, it’s likely a good fit for your child.

Choosing the right preschool sets the stage for your child’s future learning journey. Whether you’re considering nursery school admission in Indore, take your time to research and make an informed decision. A nurturing preschool can ignite a lifelong love for learning and provide your child with the best possible start.

Things the Biden-Harris Administration Did This Week #39

October 18-25 2024.

President Biden issued the first presidential apology on behalf of the federal government to America's Native American population for the Indian boarding school policy. For 150 years the federal government operated a system of schools which aimed to destroy Native culture through the forced assimilation of native children. At these schools students faced physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, and close to 1,000 died. The Biden-Harris Administration has been historic for Native and Tribal rights. From the appointment of the first ever Native American cabinet member, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, to the investment of $46 billion dollars on tribal land, to 200 new co-stewardship agreements. The last 4 years have seen a historic investment in and expansion of tribal rights.

The Biden-Harris Administration proposed a new rule which would make contraceptive medication (the pill) free over the counter with most Insurance. The new rule would ban cost sharing for contraception products, including the pill, condoms, and emergency contraception. On top of over the counter medications, the new rule will also strength protections for prescribed contraception without cost sharing as well.

The EPA announced its finalized rule strengthening standards for lead paint dust in pre-1978 housing and child care facilities. There is no safe level of exposure to lead particularly for children who can suffer long term developmental consequences from lead exposure. The new standards set the lowest level of lead particle that can be identified by a lab as the standard for lead abatement. It's estimated 31 million homes built before the ban on lead paint in 1978 have lead paint and 3.8 million of those have one or more children under the age of 6. The new rule will mean 1.2 million fewer people, including over 300,000 children will not be exposed to lead particles every year. This comes after the Biden-Harris Administration announced its goal to remove and replace all lead pipes in America by the end of the decade.

The Department of Transportation announced a $50 million dollar fine against American Airlines for its treatment of disabled passengers and their wheelchairs. The fine stems from a number of incidences of humiliating and unfair treatment of passages between 2019 and 2023, as well as video documented evidence of mishandling wheelchairs and damaging them. Half the fine will go to replacing such damaged wheelchairs. The Biden administration has leveled a historic number of fines against the airlines ($225 million) for their failures. It also published a Airline Passengers with Disabilities Bill of Rights, passed a new rule accessible lavatories on aircraft, and is working on a rule to require airlines to replace lost or damaged wheelchairs with equal equipment at once.

The Department of Energy announced $430 million dollars to help boost domestic clean energy manufacturing in former coal communities. This invests in projects in 15 different communities, in places like Texas, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Michigan. The plan will bring about 1,900 new jobs in communities struggling with the loss of coal. Projects include making insulation out of recycled cardboard, low carbon cement production, and industrial fiber hemp processing.

The Department of Transportation announced $4.2 billion in new infrastructure investment. The money will go to 44 projects across the country. For example the MBTA will get $400 million to replace the 92 year old Draw 1 bridge and renovate North Station.

The Department of Transportation announced nearly $200 million to replace aging natural gas pipes. Leaking gas lines represent a serious public health risk and also cost costumers. Planned replacements in Georgia and North Carolina for example will save the average costumer there over $900 on their gas bill a year. Replacing leaking lines will also remove 1,000 metric tons of methane pollution, annually.

The Department of the Interior announced $244 million to address legacy pollution in Pennsylvania coal country. This comes on top of $400 million invested earlier this year. This investment will help close dangerous mine shafts, reclaim unstable slopes, improve water quality by treating acid mine drainage, and restore water supplies damaged by mining.

Data shows that President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act (passed with Vice-President Harris' tie breaking vote) has saved seniors $1 billion dollars on out-of-pocket drug costs. Seniors with certain high priced drugs saw their yearly out of pocket costs capped at $3,500 for 2024. In 2024 all seniors using Medicare Part D will see their out of pocket costs capped at $2,000 for the year. It's estimated if the $2,000 cap had been in effect this year 4.6 million seniors would have hit it by June and not have had to pay any more for medication for the rest of the year.

The Department of Education announced a new proposed rule to bring student debt relief for 8 million struggling borrowers. The Biden-Harris Administration has managed despite road blocks from Republicans in Congress, the courts and law suits from Republican states to bring student loan forgiveness to 5 million Americans so far through different programs. This latest rule would take into account many financial hardships faced by people to determine if they qualify to have their student loans forgiven. The final rule cannot be finalized before 2025 meaning its fate will be decided at the election.

The Department of Agriculture announced $1.5 billion in 92 partner-driven conservation projects. These projects aim at making farming more susceptible and environmental friendly, 16 projects are about water conservation in the West, 6 support use of innovative technologies to reduce enteric methane emissions in livestock. $100 million has been earmarked for Tribal-led projects.
