That’s fair enough, and my understanding is that we don’t know yet how helpful it is for our actual comprehension of these problems… time will tell.

my layperson opinion on this is tha, given the attempts to build automated proof verification, and that it’s meant to all be codified and defined, and it’s all « on paper » (vs experimental sciences), mathematics isn’t a surprise.…

Taking the form of a mobile factory for the manufacture of electronic textile artworks, Amor Muñoz's Maquila Region 4, or MR4, project sought to make visible the individual women workers who are routinely obscured through the process of outsourced manufacturing,
Muñoz would bike her nomadic project through economically disadvantaged areas of Mexico and offer residents a chance to work for US minimum wage-$8.00 per hour at the time of the project, compared to the standard rate of $1.20 per hour in Mexico-embroider conductive thread into artisanal fabrics to create fully functioning circuit panels. The electronic textiles brought together the main exports of maquilas (factories along the US-Mexico border that offer raw materials and cheap labor for export), textiles, and electronics, while the accompanying time cards are physical reflections of the individual maquila workers who would otherwise remain anonymous.Marilou Schultz

Silicon Valley's Fairchild Semiconductor operated an assembly plant on the Navajo Nation in Shiprock, New Mexico, from 1965 through 1975. During its operations, the Shiprock facility employed primarily Navajo women. The company's promotional materials characterized these women as particularly adept for assembly work due to their
"nimble fingers," honed through generations of intricate jewelry and textile work.
In 1980, another Silicon Valley giant, Intel, expanded its operations to New Mexico.
In honor of the relationship between Silicon Valley technology and Indigenous women weavers, Intel commissioned artist Marilou Schultz to weave a replica of one of its microchips. The commission was technically demanding, requiring substantial experimentation and skill to reproduce the chip's asymmetrical patterns and varied colors. The experience inspired Schultz to continue exploring new technologies through weaving, creating textiles of digital graphs, QR codes, and other microchips. Intel gifted Schultz's Replica of a Chip to the American Indian Science and Engineering Society during its 1994 conference, "Weaving Tradition and Technology, held in San José.Analia Saban

Analia Saban makes visible the hidden infrastructures of the digital age by rendering them through the techniques and materials of older technologies. Using a Jacquard loom, Saban weaves patterns of computer chips and cooling fans from copper wire and linen yarn for her "Copper Tapestries" series. Her "Motherboards" series comprises circuit boards coated in thick printer's ink that paradoxically brings out the boards' intricate surfaces.
Her most recent series, "Flowcharts, continues her concern with the dichotomy between the hand and the machine but expands beyond hardware to uncover the manual work behind artificial intelligence. On a panel covered with white encaustic made of beeswax, resin, and pigment, and layered with black oil stick, Saban has carved a flowchart with instructions for depicting gesture. Her graphic instructions parallel the inputs that structure machine learning-_-from the manual labeling of data fed into training algorithms, to the prompts users enter into generative artificial intelligence tools to produce text, images, and other outputs.

Beyond test scores, what I personally find concerning is this: "On average, 57% of students do not find learning new things boring. However, since 2022, this share decreased in 60 systems, with over 10-percentage-point decreases in 30 systems. No system showed the opposite trend." 🙃

The general summary is pretty positive, while also showing significant weaknesses.

Title: Solid computational problem-solving skills are widespread

Text: PISA 2025 introduced a new assessment focusing on 15-year-olds’ computational problem-solving skills, examining their capacity to use modelling and programming tools, conduct experiments and build, design and develop digital products. Although there is no formal baseline proficiency threshold on this scale, Level 3 marks the point at which students begin to demonstrate sufficiently solid knowledge and skills to progress rapidly. About two-thirds of students across OECD countries performed at Level 3 or above, and around a quarter reached the two highest proficiency levels (Levels 5 or 6). Students in Macao (China), Singapore and the Chinese provinces/municipalities of Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang had the highest mean scores (572, 563 and 560 mean score points, respectively). The average score among OECD countries is 500 score points.

Top countries are Japan, Estonia, Korea. OECD average suggests about 40% of students are below the baseline
