Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

@MARMARWRLD they retook it!! i had to find an update cause yeah this shit had me bawling 😭😭😩.

[Alex Vanopslagh @AlexVanopslagh]

Jeg er simpelthen træt af at høre på mediernes fortælling om, at unge mænd i Danmark er imod ligestilling af kønnene. Hvad er det for noget bavl?

En undersøgelse for nylig har vist, at de politiske holdninger mellem unge mænd og kvinder er blevet markant større. Unge kvinder er mere venstreorienterede end før og mændene mere højreorienteret. Og en del unge mænd svarer “ja” til at “ligestillingen” er gået for langt.

Det får straks feministiske akademikere og journalister til at udråbe unge mænd til at være kvindefjendske og imod ligestilling.

Det er simpelthen forkert. Og udtryk for elitær bragesnak.

For det første: Når man dykker ned i tallene, kan man se, at det første og fremmest er de unge kvinder, som er blevet markant mere røde/vendtreorienteret. De unge mænd er blot blevet en smule mere borgerlige. Det er de unge kvinder, som driver tendensen til en større “kløft” mellem mænd og kvinder i politik.

For det andet:
Selvfølgelig bakker unge mænd i Danmark op om ligestilling. Jeg har endnu til gode at møde unge, borgerlige som ikke går ind for ligestilling. De går ind for, at man ikke må diskriminere på køn, at kvinders grænser skal respekteres og at kvinder har lige så meget ret til at gøre karriere som mænd.

Men det som mange unge mænd vender sig imod er “ligestilling”. Altså den moderne, feministiske og venstreorienterede “ligestilling” - fx.: hvis 20 kvinder og 80 mænd søger 10 forskningslegater, så skal hver 4. kvinde og hver 16. mand have et, så fordelingen bliver 50/50.

Eller tendensen til at udbasunere “antimænd”-holdninger i samfundsdebatten om at særligt mænd har en “toksisk maskulinitet”.

Det er for nemt i dag for debattører og forskere, som har en for debatterende tilgang til dette, at sige, “unge mænd er imod ligestilling”.

Det er en aktivistisk venstrefløj, som er ved at trække alt mening og fornuft ud af ligestillingsbegrebet.

Det er der, man bør rette sin kritik imod, og ikke mod de unge, som synes at ligestillingsdebatten er blevet kapret af en radikal og virkelighedsfjern feminisme.

1/ I still cannot believe that the Danish government actually issued a statement in which it commits itself to banning the insulting of "other countries, cultures and religions" if this has "significant negative consequences for Denmark". Seriously? https://t.co/FISr8rxj3v

If You Get the Chills From Music, You May Have a Unique Brain

*Update!*

People who physically respond to music with chills have stronger fiber connections between the auditory cortex and emotional processing areas in the brain.

Your PhD is about the evolution of your mindset.

It proceeds through personal research experience, mentorship and development of key skills.

This is why PhD in STEM:

- is NOT about a thesis (very few people will read it)
- is NOT about finish your advisor’s project
- is NOT about attending new courses
- is NOT to learn how to use cool instruments (although it might be handy, it is of little help in a long run)

Yes, some of it will help you get hired. BUT PhD should not be about this.

▫️

PhD is about personal development, creativity and problem solving in a highly dynamic research environment.

First of all, it is about:

- Becoming a highly critical and creative thinker
- Learning how to think independently (against the local or global mainstream)
- Learning how to “jump-start” a project and bring it to perfection
- Discovering your strengths and weaknesses as a future leader
- Learning from massive number of mistakes without big consequences
- Learning how to accept failures and move on
- Understanding the value of teamwork and collaboration
- Publishing important studies and making discoveries (especially if you plan to stay in academia)

▫️

Of course, there are some “perks” that come with it:

1. Getting a good expertise in some field
2. Getting some idea about the world of academia and how things work there
3. Learning how to use fancy tools (microscopes, spectrometers, etc)
4. Learning how to write papers, etc etc

But these are only bonuses. They should not be why you are pursuing PhD.

▫️

As a prospective PhD student, do NOT look for a supervisor who will be simply assigning tasks to you and tracking your project.

Look for a good mentor and advisor who can help you develop YOUR leadership skills.

A proper research environment and inspiration to pursue your dreams are the key ingredients.

When kids are deprived of play, their mental health suffers.

Over the past 50 years, the time kids spend playing outside and inside has plummeted. They're missing opportunities to bond, build self-control, be creative, and feel joy.

Free play is a key to happiness and growth.

[James Barnes MSc., MA @psychgeist52]

Be warned that if a psychiatrist hasn't done an extra psychotherapy degree, or gone through a very specific psychotherapy tract in their training, they are not trained to do psychotherapy.

There is much talk about based on very limited experience. Potentially very harmful, IMO

Public service announcement for managers and coaches: you can't judge effort by results.

Inconsistent performance doesn't mean people aren't trying their best. It often means they're doing their best in the face of turbulence.

In humans, variability is a feature, not a bug.

Loneliness doesn't only hurt mental health. It's also a risk factor for physical health.

90 studies, 2.2M people: loneliness and social isolation predict mortality from cancer and all causes, even after controlling for health conditions.

Human connection is vital to well-being.

Australia to prescribe MDMA and psilocybin for PTSD and depression.

The re-emergence of psilocybin medicine. When will the U.S. and the rest of the world legalize psilocybin and psychedelics? Jamaica, Portugal, has and soon, we hope, Mexico and many others.
