Mastery by George Leonard touches on some of this; learners can fall into 3 categories during the learning process: Dabblers, Obsessives, and Hackers. Each one has strengths and weaknesses, but the core philosophy is that "mastery take

It's a bit challenging in academia, where many of the students send their messages later in the evening. I've made it a habit to not respond after 6pm for that exact reason - if they see I'm "on" then its okay to co

As AI adoption continues to grow, in this lecture I present a potential future interacting WITH AI but also the ethical questions that we as humans will need to have. The lecture covers the following topics: - The Growing Internet Addiction

I teach the math behind AI, so my slides are very dense. Not "text heavy", but elaborate - some animations, graphics with arrows pointing to more graphics, 3-4 slides on just explaining what all the symbols in a math equation mean

Even with all our security, social engineering still beats them all. Roleplaying sounds like it will be LLMs social engineering.

Those graphics look really nicely done (especially the GIF); I actually wish matplotlib or whatever the most popular data viz libraries are had a feature that would make them.

It can depend on the field and the methodologies that are used - there's been some papers I've reviewed that I could assume who they were based on the contents. I can't really offer a counterpoint on non-blinded reviews as I&

There's a great video essay series known as "Everything is a Remix" by Kirby Ferguson [1] if you have an hour to spare. Ferguson uses the trends of music sampling as a base for how artists draw inspiration from others. The co

I am in agreement with you that LLMs are lifeless regurgitation machines; what I'm implying isn't too far from how children learn/interact. One of the first concepts we teach children is word association to objects and once t

I believe what orangecat means is that AIs don't understand tone ~yet~. However as we continue working on adding context and refining models, it could be a possibility in, say, 10 years. Think where we were 10 years ago - IoT was the b

I won't disagree with their findings; however I do think there is some need to counter the narrative that "LLM AI worse for humans". Specifically I think back to an example I use when I would describe why I had such motivatio

In addition, we need to start paying attention to the growing legislation about AI and copyright law. There was an article on HN I think this week (or last) specifically where a judge ruled AI cannot own copyright on its generated materials

I followed the prescribed unofficial Reading Order graphic when I started the series (only 10ish books in), and I've jumped around between all the different protagonists. Color of Magic, Mort, Guards Guards, and the Equal Rites do well

I will say that I have a few hierarchies I use regularly that go beyond 3 levels, and they are annoying to work with. There are times where I will copy the entire sub-directory to my desktop just to reduced how many levels I'm working
