1/ There's a concept known as financial compounding, but most people don't know about intellectual compounding. Buffett and Munger employed this to great effect and to accumulate mental models such that they can make large decisions quickly. Intuition is simply reading a lot.

@viktaur27 @Teslarati The rate of improvement from original GPT to GPT-3 is impressive. If this rate of improvement continues, GPT-5 or 6 could be indistinguishable from the smartest humans. Just my opinion, not an endorsement. I left OpenAI 2 to 3 years ago. Am a neutral outsider at this point.

My husband quit his job and stayed home for 3 months. It wasn't like he was lounging around doing nothing—he was cooking, cleaning, and taking our daughter to daycare. My mom calls every week: "When's he going to get a job?" And his mom says: "Men have to work." And my friend says: "Aren't you worried he'll get used to sitting around?"

And I'm silent.

Because during these three months, our daughter said "dada" for the first time before she ever said "cartoon." And for the first time in 7 years, he slept without sleeping pills.

Everyone around me sees a man without a job. And I see a family, for the first time, sitting together and truly living..

Parenting is buying 6 yogurts and watching them all get eaten In one day.

Then buying 12 yogurts and watching them expire because, “Nobody likes yogurt.”

I have two versions of prompt:

read-quick-dont-validate:
<link to paper>
Teach me this paper. Break it down step by step. Write each step like a chapter in a book. Write it all out at once. For subtle or difficult concepts, break things down further and use examples.

validate-my-understanding-and-teach-me:

Resources:
<paste 5-10+ reference links you've collected about the domain>
I would like you to teach me about <modern day post-training for LLMs>. Presume I understand <LLM basics already>. Build up my understanding from scratch step by step. Do not move to the next step without validating my current understanding. For subtle or difficult concepts, break things down further and use examples.

The second one can go on for weeks but you learn in a deep way.

You can't write a compelling promotion packet about the thing you didn't build. And that's the whole problem.
