This NYC Suburb Is Bringing Back Screen-Free Childhoods
submitted by alyaza to technology
17 points | 2 comments
https://nysfocus.com/2026/09/21/croton-harmon-schools-ipadsWhen Croton-on-Hudson’s youngest students returned to school earlier this month, a familiar — and increasingly controversial — classroom tool was missing from their desks: iPads.
A new districtwide policy prohibits the devices in kindergarten through second grade with few exceptions. Instead, teachers are emphasizing traditional, hands-on learning through activities like games, puzzles, and pen-and-paper assignments.
The screen-free classrooms arrived after a grassroots effort from local parents in Croton-on-Hudson, an affluent, highly educated suburban village on the Hudson River, 40 miles north of Manhattan.
Formed in July 2025, the Croton Community Collective has amassed more than 400 local members, built a network of parents who’ve tried to give their children a screen-free childhood, reshaped the school board, and secured several changes limiting the use of educational technology in instruction
It’s part of a larger push by the community, where many parents have pledged to delay giving their children smart phones. Volunteers have stocked scores of local businesses with boxes of books and magazines, so that kids have a screen-free way to pass the time while waiting for a haircut or sitting at a diner. And over 100 families have installed landlines in their homes to help children stay connected sans cell phones.

Cold TAKE: Amazon’s New Encryption Method Still Doesn’t Deliver Real Privacy

But while it might technically add a speed bump to accessing full video […] -

Show HN: Blackgit – use Git to only download those cared files
Git is supposed to be bad at handling mono repos especially where there are many binary files like game projects repo, and also there are no permisson settings, but are important in game development. BlackGit's cli client lets you download only cared files through sparse-checkout(initially not even the default root files) with a mini agent to use natural languages to manipulate the repo, and blackgit's server serves a file level control layer as a proxy to upstreams(github/gitlab)

Trump Admin Still Being Cagey On $21 Billion In Hijacked Broadband Grants
I’ve written a lot about how Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos convinced Republicans to redirect billions in taxpayer money away from future-proof fiber optic upgrades, and toward their low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband networks they’d already planned to deploy. Curious behavior for two extremely-rich gentlemen who both repeatedly claim to loathe subsidies and corporate welfare. The short version: the billionaires convinced […] -

DeltaTensors: Git for model fine-tunes that also saves you storage
Imagine Git for model fine-tunes that also saves you storage.
DeltaTensors compresses fine-tuned model checkpoints by storing the weight difference from the base model instead of another full copy of the model.
If you have a bunch of fine-tunes or checkpoints from the same base model, you keep the base once and store a much smaller `.wdelta` for each version.
On a Qwen2.5-0.5B fine-tune, a 953 MB model compressed to a 294 MB delta. Reconstructing it changed perplexity from 19.11 to 19.22.
It works after training, so you do not need to use LoRA or change how you fine-tune the model. You can take an existing full fine-tune and compress it afterward.
It also supports chained deltas for model version history, Hugging Face Trainer checkpoints, and streaming compression/reconstruction so you do not need to load two full models into memory.

Show HN: Mini-AGI – Dynamic continual learning model trained on 8GB VRAM
Sorry for the pretentious name, I know, I know.. It just contains all the pieces I would like to see a AGI model to have, and I can't stand the temptation. Before throwing rocks at me, please take a glance at the Readme, and I hope it will cover your mood a little bit.
So, first of all it does work and you can see the sample from the whole training run here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/volotat/mini-AGI/refs/head...
Here is the scaling law graph I have so far, and it looks very promising: https://github.com/volotat/mini-AGI/blob/main/assets/scaling...
The model was built under my deep dissatisfaction so we cannot really train even moderately big models (1B+ scale) on the consumer's hardware. We can inference and fine-tune them for sure, but I would like to have full control over what the model sees over the training run, so it is fully aligned with my interests, not some corporations.
I was thinking about for some time and come up with two interesting ideas I thought worth pursuing: MoE with a lot of experts that gets added and pruned from the model while it trains, where only a small subset of of experts are actually in use at any particular moment + batch 1 training on the single continuous stream of data.
First allows us to be bounded only by the disk space in terms of number of parameters and load and unload experts only when they are needed. The second (if figured out and it turns out to be doable) allows us to get aways with small VRAM capacity because we do not need to store big randomized batches and their respective gradients.
I started brainstorming with Claude and after some time we found an approach that seems to be promising, and low and behold, a few weeks pass and you can see the results yourself.
Obviously, I did use AI in the process of making this project and I am pretty sure it would be completely impossible for me to do something like this without it, so I hope it is more than justified.
The model is still running over the first of 7.8B characters corpus I selected for training, so the weights are not out yet, and it's about a couple weeks of waiting until they are cooked at the current reading speed. And yeah, the model just read continuous interleaved passages from the dataset, each by 32K characters long each as a single stream. Just as you or I would do.
The set up seems to be really simple so you can git clone the project, run it and observe everything for yourself.
Thanks for your attention.
