Is there a country outside of the US that does not have some of the corrupt aspects you mention? Does this corruption pervade only at a national level or also at state and town and community layers?

I'd imagine someone could use text-to-image models like Dall-E to visualize a scenario with a few images

I've found einsum to be amazing at consolidating my code into something more readable, particularly for implementing architectures from scratch. Here's a good video that explains why its so good: https://www.youtube.com

Using a websearch on this title shows this is from 2017. Feels like clickbait at this point when people are transitioning to work from the office, where technology like this would enforce RTO

Exactly, it's so easy to try out thousands of examples and then just show the best one.

Funny how this was a April Fools announcement that only fooled people who thought it was fake! I actually liked Curse of Monkey Island (MI 3) but am very excited for this one. Also check out the Special Editions for MI 1 and 2 which were ve

Use Vimium: https://vimium.github.io/ In other words, use the keyboard as much as possible. Simple but its 2x'ed by productivity

An interesting research direction would be to see how much the GPT3 deviates as we get more precise on various computational tasks. Possibly this would give some measure of some of the concepts the model has learned

TikTok was nice, but quickly became boring and irrelevant for me. My friend likens it to salt water: it seems to quench your thirst in the moment, but you get thirstier and thirstier as you drink it, eventually dying of dehydration.

Cultural acceptance of alcohol use is a strong confounding factor. It should be be in the same category as marijuana, smoking, and other harmful substances

Wouldn't that be because of stay at home orders? I thought most people used TikTok in 2020 to keep connected, especially teens

You're right, that is somewhat contradictory. On the other hand those interviews don't profess to teach you a skill, but more of an outlook on life that led to success.

This is nice initiative and any attempt to make mathematics more accessible is a value added to society in my book. However, saying you will learn "mathematical thinking" by watching 1.5 hours of passively watching, even Professo

Checkout the MIT class: Biology Secret of Life by Eric Lander, who is a mathematician turned geneticist who led the Human Genome Project. He teaches in an axiomatic way, which I think many here would appreciate. I found the teaching to be w

This is a little exaggerated. Most papers have to be somewhat readable to be accepted into journals and notable conferences. The fact that the layman cannot understand an advanced biology paper is nothing new. I'd wager the scientific

After the volumes of Feynman material I've consumed, Feynman and his students still keep me up with wonder. This was a great read, and I'll have to start digging into quasicrystals now

This is a really interesting idea! Audio definitely makes it easier to listen to papers on the go. One thing that's missing in the paper curation space is understanding the knowledge state of the user. Once we have that we should be ab

Speaking of sheer skills, take a look at geohotz twitch streams. Just the breadth of topics is fun to watch: making your own crypto, hacking the neural chip, low size encryption.

You could also say that 99% of the internet is stale and that we are typically consuming content created over the last few days. Maybe we need some all purpose content curation system that gets us the movies, articles, books that would be m
