That is to say: tutorials and teachers can only get you so far. Ultimately, you must build your own mental structures. Stack Overflow can be a helpful resource, but blindly following or copy-pasting from it does little to help you learn. While you can get a lot farther mindlessly using LLMs than Stack Overflow, the same principle holds true. Learning is not the product of teaching. Learning is the product of the activity of learners. — John Holt

Loved this bit from a Recurse Center blog post on LLMs: www.recurse.com/blog/191-dev...

Elon Musk, the genius visionary who could not predict that the guy who has betrayed every person he has ever met would betray him

@clairewillett honestly the best marketing scheme in history is men successfully getting away with calling women the "more emotional" gender for like, EONS, because they've successfully rebranded anger as Not An Emotion 6:00 PM • Aug 12, 2020

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Muito bom este artigo, a passar de forma crítica por todos os pontos mais relevantes da história recente dos "dire wolves". Excelente jornalismo na Shifter.

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

The transformer was invented in Google. RLHF was not invented in industry labs, but came to prominence in OpenAI and DeepMind. I took 5 of the most influential papers (black dots) and visualized their references. Blue dots are papers that acknowledge federal funding (DARPA, NSF).

Echoing points made by others today, in a country where getting an abortion or gender affirming care or protesting a genocide can be felonies, I am going to need everyone to stop talking about "the rule of law" and "innocent people" and "criminal records."

How to understand the stock market if you only watch Fox News

i always took it on relative faith that a diffuse collection of ruthless corporate interests more or less ran the world according to a certain understood ruleset but the fact that trump and these other dipshits haven't been michael claytoned yet is making me wonder

Sounds weird to say but the level of competence, proficiency, skill, cool-headedness, compassion, and dedication illustrated on THE PITT make this the most feel-good show on TV right now, and one that is such a balm in the current moment. One of the best television shows you will ever see.

The Pitt is such a good show it grapples you in and never lets you out.
Can't wait to see more

I’ve looked at the footage so you don’t have to.

There are no excuses, nowhere to hide. Everyone complicit in this crime must be held to account.

Nice essay!

"LLMs, while they already have all of humanity's knowledge in memory, haven't generated any new knowledge by connecting previously unrelated facts...We're currently building very obedient students, not revolutionaries."

“the vibes have shifted” is passive voice. “tech oligarchs made deliberate changes to social media algorithms which altered the way most people perceive reality in a successful attempt to engineer business-favorable outcomes” is more EW WOKE CRINGE but it’s also direct, accurate, and meaningful
