Dorothea Lange was paid by the U.S. government to document the catastrophe of the Great Depression. Iconic pictures. That kind of openness to self-examination would be bananas today.

@signulll Npt a good take. That’s like saying we don’t need programmers now that we have Claude doing the programming. There’s still a lot of baked in knowledge doctors bring so they can ask the right questions and pick up on subtle indicators.

@tmarzagao @jliemandt Not dunking on alpha, but if you have $40K+/yr to send your kids to school you probably have a lot of great options.

@dlobaton2 @gabriel1 Share your demo! I want to see it too.

@thesamparr Tony Robbin’s talks about doing the same thing. But can a normal person actually do this? I’ve tried to be a better-than-me character a few times and it never lasts more than a few days.

@RandomMHumanoid @sarah_cone DI needs so much oversight, it would take such an overhaul to make it work. Success Academy has done it, but Eva Moskowitz is kind of crazy and the teachers all burn out after a few years.

@sarah_cone @corimaith3025 Wut, really? That’s interesting.

The Bloom two-sigma study, the original study on how effective one-on-one tutoring can be, included only a few classrooms of kids, in a single school, and ran for like four weeks total.

The paper is short and super accessible.

"The concept is interesting and well-formed, but in order to earn better than a 'C', the idea must be feasible."

@jakemintz Organization. That’s the killer feature. It’s so easy to lose Google Docs, but notion docs always feel like they’re in the “same” place. They’re searchable, they’re hierarchical, and you can see who they’re shared with.

@DKThomp @cremieuxrecueil @joshcmorrison Want to say thank you Derek for sticking w this line of argument. Really helpful to lay out clear, coherent statements instead of trading hot takes.

@gabriel1 Kids need to be exposed to ideas, though, and getting rid of schools (ie forcing them to learn math) isn’t a real option. We just need to stop making it so damn boring.

@gregoryblotnick Many of these are on a spectrum, not an on off switch. You can persuade someone to take a litttle more risk than they’re comfortable with. But you’re not going to flip their position on the spectrum.

@chrisgpt Guys, this is clearly foreshadowing. Buckle up.

@MaorShlomo Wait, is this true? Would love to see any data or numbers about this, and would he awesome if true.

Roscoe Turner, a celebrity aviator around the time of Amelia Earhart, would fly with this pet lion, Gilmore. Gilmore logged over 25K miles on the air before he outgrew the cockpit (at 150lbs).

Before Machiavelli made a name for himself, he was arrested for treason and subjected to strappado- hoisted by his wrists tied behind his back and left hanging for hours. Released after a few weeks, he couldn’t wait to get back to scheming government overthrow. That’s dedication.

@rileywestreel Wait, he’s the same guy that told us every time Claude makes a mistake, be sure to add a new memory or rule to your Claude.md so it doesn’t happen again.

@chrisgpt How great is this back and forth, though? I wish google buckle down and make a good coding model, but lucky to have these two pushing each other.

@emollick Coming up w sweeping AI policy on the fly is not a going to end well. Has any third party come up w a reasonable regulation stance that people can start rallying behind?
