A name people use for this phenomenon now with AI is cognitive offloading.

I coincidentally took advantage of the cheap DeepSeek Flash pricing the past couple of weeks to compile & synthesize a knowledge base/wiki of hundreds of educational AI research studies like this one here: https://edtechdev.github.io/aied/ Here's the summary of this article: https://edtechdev.github.io/aied/articles/stromberg-generati...

There are separate contexts involved here: the coder, the compiler, the runtime, a person trying to understand the code (context of this article), etc. What's better for one context may not be better for another, and programming languages favor certain contexts over others.

In this case, since programming languages primarily favor making things easier for the compiler and have barely improved their design and usability in 50 years, both coders and readers should employ third party tools to assist them. AI can help the reader understand the code and the coder generate clearer documentation and labels, on top of using linters, test driven development, literate documentation practices, etc.

Students learn and understand college math more when the classes are contextualized (usually engineering, biology, but you can also use everyday examples). See decades of research on situated learning and related approaches. https://careerladdersproject.org/docs/Contextual%20Approache...

Developmental courses can also be compressed https://blog.careertech.org/research-review-promising-practi...

Dual enrollment saves time and money and improves success. Let high school students take college math courses.

Corequisite remediation is the current best practice. Let students take regular (not remedial) math courses, and improve advising and support. https://ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/easyblog/future-of-corequisite-... https://strongstart.org/resource/corequisite-mathematics-too...

Me personally I'd like to see something that supports easily creating and using different types of objects besides pages (such as: events, books, recipes, etc.), like content types and fields and views in wordpress or drupal, ideally aligned with schema.org like https://www.drupal.org/project/schemadotorg I think Hugo might support content types in YAML or something.

Another non-activitypub alternative is nostr, where your identity is a public/private key pair: https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr
