I think the same could be said of anything resembling technical writing. As an example aside from code writing, I think more than half of the machine learning papers out there are horribly written in the sense they rush a point or give no r

Emotion management. I think this is more subtle than having a stoic front to everything. There are places/times where showing bare emotions moves the needle forward for example inspiring people, driving home a passionate point and some

I know I can't really argue with advice but I feel intrinsic motivation is dependent on your upbringing, random factors so I have to say this rubs me the wrong way but is somewhat sound

I think that is fine advice. I wish it be ground down more as the opposite of what is comfortable encompasses a huge spectra of discomfort.

Linguistic relativity seems to be a thing. Because of the differences I would think it could be inferred that an ordering amongst languages exists. In the least a partial ordering exists, so maybe some "specific" languages that ar

Something I've learnt the hard way. While there is merit to be able to do things without model assistance, this is a tale as old as time: purists who resist model usage will in the end be the unintentional enforcers of a culture of: ev

Given how o3 cracked the arc bench and I'm probably sounding like a broken record, this isn't as farfetched as some of you may think it is. ML models will very likely continue to scale regardless of how many bets are placed agains

Is it not true that The Arc test is designed to be one where the rules are dynamic? i.e every one of the tests are different from each other in an absolute sense. Learning about one tells you nothing of substance about the other unless of c

Something to chew on for me. But what is a manifold then if not a topological space that is locally the same as R^(some dimension) ?

I think there needs to be some feedback that the goal is sustainable, one tooth a day to an adhd mind is just as bad as not doing anything as it's still a very tall staircase to climb. Too granular a step
