I have some two million KA points, and I'm currently using it to guide me around learning basic physics - I've never used Khanmigo not even once. If I need to ask AI type questions I go off site to Claude or GPT or deepseek.
As other people have noted, asking a.k.a <i>typing</i> questions, especially math-type is fatiguing, and there's no substitute for pen and paper and thinking hard.
KA would be better off using AI on the supply side (but heavily curated) to have more assignments, or better assignments in some sections.
But it's important to recognize KA for what it is, and it's an excellent way to have some sort of a basic curriculum, especially when self-studying, and all of the instructors have great teaching personalities, as far as I can deduce from the approach in the videos.
NZ could have the similar issue as the "developed" countries of the EU (/ + UK) that seem to operate under a very mistaken belief that it's possible to stay "developed" without also being "developing" all the time.
Gases work roughly the same way (until they break the ideal gas law and don't). The ratio of static and dynamic pressures between two chambers can drive nozzle flow [1]. Add in some compression and combustion and you can simulate anything from refrigerators to engines.
"Naveen Rao, the Gen AI VP of Databricks, phrased it quite well:
all closed AI model providers will stop selling APIs in the next 2-3 years. Only open models will be available via APIs (…) Closed model providers are trying to build non-commodity capabilities and they need great UIs to deliver those. It's not just a model anymore, but an app with a UI for a purpose."
