But critics allege that this argument is self-serving, and the 2020 Senate report listed Monarch School as having a higher than average chronic absentee rate , at 58.8 But critics allege that this argument is self-serving, and the 2020 Senate report listed Monarch School as having a higher than average chronic absentee rate , at 58.8
That’s the argument made by researchers at the think tank Third Way, who developed a new way to rank the nation’s colleges. Some students who attend the Bronx campus, he says, struggle to choose when it comes to paying for their education, food or transportation. “So
And Fiedler, the superintendent of the district who retired this year, isn’t swayed by the arguments against the four-day school week. It saved the district around $800,000 or so during the first year, Fiedler estimates, mostly in transportation costs but also in salaries for food service and electricity.
One large factor that played into that was the transportation piece. At some point with transportation, school districts often were using the same fleet of buses for pickups and dropoffs for the elementary and the middle and the high school level. Back about a century ago, schools started closer to 9 a.m. And he vetoed the bill.
Already the steam-engine works our mines, impels our ships, excavates our ports and our rivers, forges iron, fashions wood, grinds grain, spins and weaves our cloths, transports the heaviest burdens, etc. It appears that it must some day serve as a universal motor, and be substituted for animal power, water-falls, and air currents.
And, yes, when you try to run the function, it’ll notice it doesn’t have correct arguments and options specified. Or it might be on a remote machine, accessible through ssh , or https , or our own wstp ( Wolfram Symbolic Transport Protocol ) or lwg ( Lightweight Grid ) protocols. And, yes, it’s taken a while, but now in Version 13.3
Energy consumption, transportation, and time spent learning can all be reduced drastically thanks to online learning technologies. There have been studies done to show the environmental impacts online learning can provide, and the numbers are encouraging. This benefit simply cannot be overstated.
I think Yves Pomeau already had a theoretical argument for this, but as far as I was concerned, it was (at least at first) just a “next thing to try”. It’s about molecules being carefully channeled and actively transported from one “event” to another. It’s not about molecules randomly moving around, like in a liquid.
Sometimes textbooks will gloss over everything; sometimes they’ll give some kind of “common-sense-but-outside-of-physics argument”. This argument is quite rough, but it captures the essence of what’s going on. And living systems often seem to provide what one can think of as a close analog of wires for transporting such things.
In the end—after all sorts of philosophical arguments, and an analysis of actual historical data —the answer was: “It’s Complicated”. Before the arrival of the Physics Project in 2019—I’d been quite involved in AI philosophy , AI ethics, etc. And in March 2023 I wrote a piece on “ Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? ”
And we can trace the argument for this to the Principle of Computational Equivalence. If we have ways of thinking—or consciousnesses—whose details are different, the issue is what will be robust enough to be able to be transported between them. A very important claim about the ruliad is that it’s unique.
Events are like functions, whose “arguments” are incoming tokens, and whose output is one or more outgoing tokens. In mathematics starting about a century ago there were various situations in which different scanning orders for discrete sets were considered—notably in connection with diagonalization arguments, space-filling curves, etc.

Richard Feynman and I would get into very fierce arguments. Ed was a serious (and, by all reports, exceptionally good) pilot—with an airplane transport pilot license (plus seaplane and glider licenses). Gliders are usually transported with their wings removed, with the wings attached in order to fly. It’s just my nature.
