Is the contention here that a mechanistic understanding would not be incredibly helpful for how people learn? That feels at odds with how other major mechanistic models have driven advancements in their respective fields (ex. The Double Helix, The Atomic model). Maybe I misunderstand?(Likely!)

Doesn’t feel like the kind of move a company is looking to make unless it’s got money problems.

Just want to note that the ADL endangers the lives of Jews everywhere with its heinous, fascist-accommodating posturing. It’s a gross organization.

Oh man! I just realized how absolutely horrific and petty trump is going to be if the #BlueJays win the series and that alone makes me root for them.

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

It is totally reasonable and acceptable to expect landlords to abide by safe housing practices and zoning laws. Absent that being a concern, anyone should be able to live anywhere. vance is too dumb and racist to be in charge of anything.

This jives. It’s also important to make sure educators want to be in the PD.

I think that’s right. The urgency tactic only benefits those who gain from rushed, unconsidered, adoption.

The thing to me is that it’s not so much the White House demolition, it’s how it is being done. There are plenty of classy ways to do it. This ain’t it. And also, so much of what should be relatively regular aspects of US government (ex . Amending the constitution) just don’t happen any more.

You know that thing where schools get tech in order to signify “progress”, but the tech doesn’t actually fix any problems and instead just sits there, adding layers to the onion?

You shouldn’t do that. And you REALLY shouldn’t do it with AI: davidknuffke.medium.com/ethical-ai-i...
