As a ML newbie, I couldn’t put this into words myself but it matches my experience and observations so well. Among chaotic upsides, it creates such a surprisingly fun learning landscape though. Probably the most entertaining time to get into app dev ever.

🌶️(?) take: Agents are somehow hot right because people realized that LLM output can be interpreted as a DSL which directs side effects in the world (e.g. tool calls) rather than just returning text in a chat/autocomplete sense. What are the open challenges? A 🧵... [1/11]



By that time almost everyone you interact with daily either has one or will have one soon, so it seems mundane. Then you start looking for jobs where it’s either a bare minimum requirement, a minor bonus or is fully irrelevant.

This post is unavailable.

One of the wrongest takes I’ve heard in a while. “Taste” is hard to teach because it’s an implicit skill that you gain with experience - ability to tinker a million subtle parameters to perfection. Can you think of any tech that is designed to do the same? Yeah, exactly.

“Craft is knowing how to start, art is knowing when to stop”. Did not have Ben Affleck’s astute commentary about AI on my bingo card.

This is wild! Apparently a strong predictor of whether a community is a "Blue Zone" with unusually many 100-yr-olds is whether it also has unusually *few* 90-yr-olds…one of many pieces of evidence that it's all just erroneous birthdates & pension fraud 😮 theconversation.com/the-data-on-ex…

Utterly obsessed with this UCL researcher who won an Ig Nobel for showing that “Blue Zones” where people supposedly live well past 100 at unusual rates are actually just full of clerical errors and people committing pension fraud ucl.ac.uk/ioe/news/2024/…

my hopes for gen z taking over the academic review process is that it will be matched for harshness, but at least more efficient

Memorizing is not nearly as important as deep understanding. E.g., you can remember everything there is to know about statistics but if didn’t “click” for you (you didn’t implicitly build underlying conceptual spatial organization unique to only you) - you will be bad at it.

If college undergrad is mostly memorizing basic facts, and spaced repetition is demonstrably the best way to memorize basic facts, then why the hell aren't college professors posting anki decks with their syllabi?

Reading papers and taking notes for literature review takes a lot of time. You can install ChatGPT in your Zotero to supercharge your literature review. It will answer your questions based on papers in your library, so no fake citations or references. Here's how to do it:

It’s crazy that it actually works, but I love it. Super useful for my post-academia life as a UX researcher.

is GPT-4v susceptible to optical illusions? hunch is *of course not*...why would a computer vision system exhibit the same "feature/bugs" specifics as the idiosyncratic wetware wiring of the human visual system? yet for some, it weirdly does:

I hope to recruit a new graduate student for the fall of 2024 to work with me in Drexel University’s doctoral program in Applied Cognitive and Brain Sciences (ACBS) on the cognitive neuroscience of creativity and intelligence. Please spread the word.


Any proven data fraud offenders should serve jail time. Each such case is millions of wasted taxpayers’ dollars and hundreds of ruined careers of very bright researchers. One of the most disgusting things one can do to society.

Data fraud is often framed as a victimless crime--or else the perpetrators frame themselves as the victim. But the true victims are often graduate students who struggle to replicate a prominent study, face professional ostracism, and their only recourse is to leave the field or…

Can’t wait to start pointing my phone at things and saying “WTF is this”, which is what I already do most of the time anyway

voice mode and vision for chatgpt! really worth a try. openai.com/blog/chatgpt-c…



Hell yeah!

Still wrapping my head around the fact that the vast majority of Hodgkin lymphoma “tumors” are healthy immune cells that the cancer cells have convinced to come hang out and protect them. Cancer is just a bunch of assholes and dupes, like so many of our biggest problems.


Finally!

Google just launched a Calendly killer. And it's free. Here's how to use it:

Neuroscience in a nutshell: Q: Is it a neurotransmitter or a neuromodulator? A: Yes. Q: Is it excitatory or inhibitory? A: Also yes. Q: Where is it located? A: Throughout the nervous system. Also elsewhere. Q: Is there like a theme in what it does? A: We thought so, but no. 🤷‍♂️
