There's lots of posts on HN for developments and companies doing OCR and Document Extraction. It's a classic CV problem but still has come a long way in the past couple years

This could be really cool for teaching geometry (or more advanced math) concepts. Reminds me of GeoGebra and 3B1B.

I can't speak to attitudes, but when I was in grad school years ago, Koreans were very well represented in my program. There were fewer Korean students than Chinese but more than Indian. Generally they do well in both coursework and research so there's likely at least some opportunity to stay in the states, assuming they don't have obligations back home.

To measure academic achievement they use First Year GPA. It makes sense they're correlated, both require studying known material for a test. But is GPA the best measure, especially first year? I would be interested in other metrics like 3rd-4th year GPA or placements into jobs and such.

There are definitely ways to progress from here, but they may be more advanced?

The 1 SouthEast of the bottom 2 touches two tiles, and the 1 immediately West touches a superset of those two. The difference between the larger and smaller set must be clear. And you can go further off of that.

Keyboard shortcuts don't have the discoverability of a menu interface but are good for power users. Ideally they would complement each other.

I really like the ergonomics of pie menus, though my experience is limited to Blender. Navigating linear menus require more fine movements than flicking the mouse in one of 8 or fewer directions. And the direction of mouse movement becomes muscle memory the way a keyboard shortcut does. I find a pie menu works well in a mouse-heavy workflow like 3D modelling. But there are definitely applications where it wouldn't be the right fit.
