I think the negativity is due to the vibes and framing of the "spa" for rich people to hang out and do some low-key "health optimization", it ties to Silicon Valley longevity stuff, pattern matches with the vibe of cryog

It's not necessarily fully causal though. You'd need a comparison group who are just as intelligent and conscientious and equally rich as the college graduating population for comparison. They would likely find ways to demonstrate

PhD experiences vary much much more than bachelor's and master's programs that cover a fairly standard set of topics worldwide. PhD depends a lot on your specific topic, the specific supervisor, their other time commitments, their

Vision and audio is already in use in multimodal LLMs. So it's possible in the past.

Do you exist in reality? Or just in a virtual world made up of sensory signals? Do you have access to the Ding an sich any more than a (multimodal) LLM?

"Where the video goes: stays on your machine" - No, the frames (that this tool extracts) obviously get sent to Anthropic if you use Claude.

The classic paper format is just ergonomically what many of us are good at handling effectively as readers. For example in ML typically they all have an abstract, a teaser figure with a caption, Fig. 2 with a method overview/architectu

Have you personally reviewed for big conferences or submitted and received reviews? It's a very noisy process that does toss out the lowest effort clueless stuff, but doesn't discriminate all that well between "meh" and

Exactly. People rediscover that gatekeeping and barriers-to-entry had positive aspects to them.

Who shows them in "bad light"? Sane people see the condition itself in "bad light" not the people affected, who deserve compassion, help, accommodations etc. Twisting things around to make people seem bigoted for saying

I admire the naive optimism of someone who'd expect otherwise but why would you? If you want to pursue such a thing, get a lawyer because you're now legal enemies with the school leadership and this should be obvious the moment yo

"Fixing" the culture includes a much much broader context than just what an individual professor preaches about to a set of students. It includes the entire intergenerational contract, earning the trust of students as well, gettin

I think part of it is also that young people are just not as attached to specific media units, so to speak. It's more like everything on tap, on a stream, curated by algorithms. Things are ephemeral in this way. Years ago, an album by

You don't have to go back to 200 BC for the story to be hard to imagine. Something around 1700 would work too. In 1800 they could already understand the "electricity" part at least.

In good hands, it can be a great tool, but you usually don't notice that. The issue is that AI allows for a superficial appearance of quality and it takes time to discover that the content is void of deeper insight.

Controversial, but I think photography is still nowhere close in artistic value to paintings. Yes, I've seen the award winning ones etc. Not impressed. It's fine I guess, but not more. Same with laptop music vs instrument music ev

If you released it under a free software license, then all they seem to have not done properly is putting an attribution text in their software. But you did not specify what license you used which already makes me doubt if you have the corr

Not just the length but the structure, the way the headlines are phrased, the use of "honestly", the "not X but Y", many things cumulatively, not one particular thing in itself. If you work a lot with LLM writing, you no
