Lawyers earn 250k per 6 weeks? More than 2M per year?

To me it doesnt feel limiting. I curate it to get good recommendations. I also switch between accounts. One for trash binges, and one for everyday stuff, one for serious technical content etc. I use "do not recommend this channel"

Typography is just a nice geeky topic. Happy for the people who could make Nebula pay them for fussing around with a font. It's clearly bikeshedding and irrelevant though. If their previous font was too expensive, they should have swit

The high rate of college degrees is a historical anomaly, and of course it's a sham. Most are not truly intellectually challenged in some deep formative ways who get some easy BA diploma to then do some generic administrative MS Office

Your role is to publish papers so your PI is able to get grants, and to network, so the lab profile gets better known in the research community, and then as a more senior grad student you can help write grant applications, and you can build

No, its AI. But your standard of required proof cannot be met. You can always point to any particular example and say, oh a human could say that. Yes, one odd phrasing could be attributed to that. Multiple per paragraph, and it's no lo

The AI voice of this article irked me. Pangram says 44% of it is AI, for the chunk I was reading. For generic trope-y content like this, the voice can't be left this AI-ish. It has to be about something really interesting for this AI t

Definitely AI written, and it has an annoying bubbly vibe, but the content was interesting nevertheless. I think those who don't see it as AI just don't read AI text several hours per day, like some of us.

Yours added no depth either.

Yes. Though adding something like what you wrote here into the instructions does help. Especially combined with a fresh session.

It has this tendency, but usually a sentence about this in the CLAUDE.md helps avoid it. It's annoying though that you have to add that sentence.

Yes, but some of that is actually better placed in the git commit messages. But of course not all.

It's an empty point and a boring one and leads nowhere. It means nothing, but sounds deep. It's so shallow, any taxi driver and sociologist can come up with it and has, already in December 2022.

I think a substantial minority of students like subjects beyond what the class requires. They go to extracurriculars to learn more interesting math and science, or are history buffs who read about it on their own time etc. These are the peo

It is somewhat hackable, but not to the extent that a computer is. Sometimes laws have some unintended loopholes that can be exploited for benefit if it isn't something obviously malicious. But there are often vaguer higher level princ

You're right that academic exams also measure something along the lines of instruction following / obedience / willingness to jump over hoops for no good reason etc. and that's often a good signal for most kinds of jobs.

Interesting. Top academic performance is mostly correlated with conscientiousness (willingness to work hard and keeping track of things) and intelligence. And I'd add motivation and interest to that too. I think if you take a physics c

I think the first semester, or at least half of that, you should go to every lecture until you develop taste for what's useful. By the time you do your master's you should have a good sense for what classes are serious and have us

Because "know more" isn't actionable. Knowing more is achieved by studying but not necessarily more time spent studying, but well spent effort. Staring at the page for hours and saying "I don't understand" does

It would be good to see the effect of access to AI during preparation on those who previously achieved top 10% points in exams of similar topics before. I suspect they would benefit further.

No, it takes less time. This is the same kind of take as the teacher's "writing a cheat sheet is so much effort that you might as well spend it to learn the material". Lol, no it takes less time, that's why people do it.

It is needed. Sometimes the semantics matter.

That's a good use for AI. Type loosely and ask it to fix up the spelling, capitalization and punctuation.

It could come up with design adjustments and measure their impact in the simulation. But the sim2real gap may be too large.

It could make simulations and read the CNC templates and the files for the 3D printed parts.
