Yeah I'm agreeing with you

Trick is to go southern with it. Merge the last two vowel sounds into almost-one. Dub-ee-eh

Sitting is boring, emails are boring, not owning capital is boring. Religion is not, plants are not, sunlight is not. Building things is cool when they're yours or your friends'. Kids are fun.

I feel like some guys tend to be wired to really enjoy the grind, but you have to get regular little indications towards progress, and kinda let yourself get 'addicted'.

Actually, my father in law just lost 3 months of work yesterday because he synced his documents folder that had an old copy of his book on OneDrive. None of the cached files had his new stuff. Maybe if OneDrive was made well, it would prevent data loss.

Yep, lost 3 months of work yesterday because OneDrive erased it.

Only two types of people will still be a teacher with current pay expectations:

• those with a genuine passion for education, and get joy out of helping kids
• those with some other ulterior motive for having authority over children.

The amount of absurd power-tripping I suffered under in school makes me think there's way too much of the second group. We're definitely getting what we pay for here.

I wonder how well that percentage matches up with the percent of Americans who believe those sites, too. Would an LLM trained on the raw internet have a fairly proportional spectrum of beliefs to the American public?

It's just weird that we get so much humanlike reasoning from them, anyways. The jury's still out whether our brains learn in an autoregressive manner like that, too. I'm finding a lot of really cool results in my research by tinkering with the idea that a developing brain might just be constantly trying to guess what's happening next.

Seems pretty plausible to me that passive learning in humans works similar to next-token prediction in transformers.

This is the nerdiest way to lift weights. I'm gonna be so obsessed with it, I can already tell.

That's actually kinda amazing..

I think this is part of the reason that Google sucks nowadays. I genuinely don't feel like I can trust it for finding products.

I've been looking for something like this for years, cool.
