I picked up the first book after binging season one of Three Body Problem on Netflix. I couldn't put it down. I remember I finished The Dark Forest on a train, and bought Death's End from a book shop at my next transfer. Highly recommended!

[Parminder Singh @parrysingh]

Just finished this trilogy - 1,700 pages, spanning billions of years. A demanding read. But you feel a loneliness when a story this large finally ends. Thoroughly recommended if you want your brain rearranged.
Thanks again to those who recommended the books before the show.

You set your Chipotle slop bowl down, log off of X, and go stare into the sun for a few hours.

I remember back when tuition classes became all the rage as a way to give students a "competitive edge." That trend has now mutated into its final form–sending toddlers to tuition classes.

There is no upside to sending your 6 year old to extra lessons after class.

Please stop.

[Balu Gorade @BaluGorade]

My son wakes up at 7, leaves for school at 8 & returns at 4.

At 5 he goes to tuition, comes back by 6:30, finishes dinner & homework & sleeps by 10.

Too much for a 1st standard kid. So I’ve decided to skip the tuition.

What about you?

[Arjun Krishnakumar @_ArjunK_]

Normalize saying "This is an interesting paper".

[Mariya I. Vasileva @mariyaivasileva]

The signal-to-noise ratio of knowledge dissemination in ML/AI would be so much better if every second post online didn’t start with “holy shit!!!”, “🚨 RIP”, “a new paper dropped and the discoveries are shocking”, or include absolutisms like “xyz will kill LLMs”, “abc will make transformers totally obsolete”, “frontier labs need to be really scared of efg”.

I carried an extra shirt in my bag on my last international flight "in case the one I'm wearing gets dirty." What stage of aging is this?

@drglennsullivan Earnest question: Why Grit? I remember reading it some ten years ago and didn't find any take in it too spicy.

I love the the Drishyam movies but if you pay attention the takeaway from them is "talk to your kids".

The data science revolution is getting closer. TabPFN v2 is published in Nature: https://t.co/Ybb15pnZ5P On tabular classification with up to 10k data points & 500 features, in 2.8s TabPFN on average outperforms all other methods, even when tuning them for up to 4 hours🧵1/19

@Alina96413300 All feelings aren't valid. A lot of what you feel is bullshit. Learn to tell when you're bullshitting yourself.

There's a kind of programmer who gets a kick out of indecipherable disgusting hacks that run lightning fast, and a kind of programmer who enjoys code a sedated toddler could understand, and an unbridgeable chasm between them

[Arjun Krishnakumar @_ArjunK_]

A colleague at work joked today about owning a copy of Neural Network for Babies for his toddler. Give it a few years - it's going to be essential reading for all 1 year olds.

This is ridiculous.

It's interesting that the pics in the "make it more" series inevitably end with cosmic/galactic themes.

[Justine Moore @venturetwins]

Obsessed with the new “make it more” trend on ChatGPT.

You generate an image of something, and then keep asking for it to be MORE.

For example - spicy ramen getting progressively spicier 🔥 (from u/dulipat)

@thegautamkamath You don't even have to sell it to SAP. SAP will acquire you.
