There are techniques to discover properties of your function as written, which can then tell you if you've written the function you intended to write: https://www.fuzzingbook.org/html/DynamicInvariants.html (also

You would be shocked at how easy it is for walking to put you into Zone 1-2, especially if there's any incline. Especially for non-athletes. There was even a period of history where extreme volumes of walking were used in marathon trai

In general cardio will always use more energy than lifting because you can simply do much more of it. Cardio is continuous work while lifting is work done a few seconds at a time. Walking in particular is still moving your body horizontally

This might be revealing my ignorance, but if we're going for statically typed "scripting languages", why not implement an ML like SML?

This is silly. There are practices like pre-registration, open data, etc. that can make results much more transparent and replicable.

Given that it fit a pattern of commenting on what he perceived in all the other portraits, what exactly would you have had him do? He obviously isn't lacking in self-awareness. He was upfront about his possible bias.

This is so dumb. If kids are to be given a device, it needs to be a dumb Nokia brick or similar with no cameras or apps. Texting and calling. That's it. They can't send nudes if they don't have access to a camera. They can&#x

That seems highly atypical. Perhaps they were relying on LLMs to generate decks?

Yeah you're basically just using the algorithm to schedule review, just like going through old problem sets. It's the next best thing to getting an infinite stream of new problems of a type of problem.

A quick and easy one is learning the NATO phonetic alphabet. You can find premade decks for it.

You say that but it's completely revolutionized the way medical students study. IIRC the effect was so profound they had to modify the structure of some tests or something to that effect. And polyglots have been using SRS for years. As

I have been looking for a workflow to do exactly this! Which LLM do you use? Do you do anything special to structure the deck by chapter or section?

This suggests having your front-end and design staff take Tufte's trainings would not be a bad investment.

Always true, but they've made a remarkable amount of progress since the language was announced, and have some experienced people leading the project.

Those are the sorts of things you're supposed to struggle with in school though. If students are using AI now, that is indeed the same thing as looking up solutions on Stack Overflow or elsewhere. It's cheating for a grade at the

You might try OCaml [0] or SML [1] if you want speed, memory safety, and an expressive type system. [0] https://ocaml.github.io/ocamlunix/index.html [1] https://matt.might.net/articles/best-program

I'm shocked how many people haven't yet realized how important formal methods are about to be. If you can formally specify what you need and prove that an LLM has produced something that meets the spec, that's a much higher l
