I’ve played a bit with Claude Code and I’m a believer.

Wat is @bureaubuitenland.bsky.social toch een fijn programma, met die kaart in het midden.

Is Rutte, als NAVO voorzitter, wederom op de Eurokritische toer? NAVO is kritisch op “Buy European” wapenstrategie.

🚨Major wake-up call from Europe.

Dutch Chief of Defense Gen. Onno Eichelsheim says the continent is ramping up its own military capabilities — fast.

Drones, unmanned systems, and “cheap advanced tech” are key as Europe pushes to reduce reliance on the US. “Freedom is no longer a given,” he warns.

Yeah. I think of Mare as an example. His stats model changed the questions we asked

By the way, I love this eh. At an rc28 conference a well-known discussant once said: there are generalists and specialists in finding stratification patterns. Our presented paper was considered a specialist one: more detail. The paper ended up well :-)

Just like I said. Always more detail. :-)

There’s always more detail

Heb ik iets gemist of heeft Jeroen Pauw de minister van financiën Heinen nul keer gevraagd naar de belasting op vermogen, als oplossing voor de serieuze begrotingsproblemen? @pauwendewit.bsky.social

An earthquake destroyed a town in Sicily, Gebellina, in 1968. The artist Burri made this largest land art piece of Europe, resembling the city plan in concrete. Cretto di Burri.

I count this as a demography fact

Ja dat zeker! Maar de koppeling met vroege selectie is slechts zijdelings. Het punt is meer dat de veronderstelde verdeling (hoeveel leerlingen in welke track) niet van god gegeven is maar een maatschappelijk proces.

Nice review of the books of Paul Lockhart who writes about the beauty of mathematics. We’d better teach it as a form of art. pressreader.com/article/2815...

The gender gap in math is increasing, and it's not helping girls Every four years, students in fourth and eighth grade are tested on mathematics, in many countries.

Ik heb overigens ook wel eens iets geschreven over mentaal welzijn als een mogelijke oorzaak van de neergang van de wiskundeprestaties van meisjes open.substack.com/pub/hermwerf...

Dat het stelsel te vroeg selecteert was niet het punt dat ik maak hier. Elders wel.
