@halvarflake I’m more exasperated than bored.

@emollick The point about deliberate practice: 💯. makes me think of „A young lady’s illustrated primer to the Diamond Age“, finally here.
but, I think MCTs aren‘t the best for learning, just cheap to scale, and so was delighted that GPT is also very decent at evaluating essays.

This remains one of the best openers of a semi academic publication ever and I cannot read it without laughing annoyingly out loud

Question for y’all: when you read in a news article about a “representative survey”, what do you think that means?

The sad thing about standard innovation pundits is that they get excited about all the stuff you'd expect a corporate capitalist system to do - more automation, acceleration, centralisation

It's like reporting on the predictable progress of a cancer as exciting cutting edge news

[li5a @li5a]

@halvarflake Ah I see. Yes. And depending on what that shift is about, it can be a very disorienting experience 😬

[li5a @li5a]

@halvarflake Yes.

[li5a @li5a]

@halvarflake Also, I believe that’s part of what Max Planck‘s famous (attributed/paraphrased) quote „Science progresses one funeral at a time“ is getting at.

Ist es nicht ein bemerkenswerter Zufall, dass in der gesamten Menschheitsgeschichte immer nur die Guten gewonnen haben?

@gedankenstuecke Thanks! I have this totally empirically unfounded hypothesis that there was much less of a class element to school recommendations in the former GDR states, at least for a few years after the reunion. I also believe I profited from that.

[li5a @li5a]

@gedankenstuecke Would you indulge my curiosity? If so: Did you go to school in East Germany or West Germany?

Does someone have an invite to https://t.co/gegU4xXJuk for me?

[li5a @li5a]

@neingeist Mau :/

[li5a @li5a]

@neingeist Ja, bekanntes Problem.
Hab mir früher mal überlegt, dass ein implantierter Blutzuckersensor geil wäre, der mich anpiepst wenn ich was essen sollte.

Hey vuln research folks - has anyone switched to Apple Silicon and discovered a good setup for running x86/x64 VMs?

[li5a @li5a]

Came across a copy of „Why programs fail. A guide to systematic debugging“ from 2005/2012. Does anyone know whether a sequel exists, one that covers debugging in a world of hyperscalers and microservices and distributed-computing-as-default? Because I’d read the heck out of that.

@philipsteffan Oh la la! Das wäre Ja mal sehr cool, wenn es tatsächlich dazu kommt.

The state of the European rail network is a bit sad. Sure, it could be worse, but taking the train is still more of an expensive hassle than it needs to be, compared to flying. For example, why is there no night train between Paris and Berlin? Makes no sense to me.

@naturepoker1 @LMT_Spoon Hmmm is time passing an intrinsic property of the universe?
