Imo this is so overrated, the biggest difference is that children have 100% exposure and almost all language they come across is tailored exactly to the right level, just for them.…

My experience has been the complete opposite, a bit of pressure goes a long way. There are many people who need to know X or Y and just dont have the maturity or innate motivation …

What would you do instead to make sure the student actually possesses the skills they are intended to have learned by the end of a program?

And especially China. And Japan.

If you had an llm that could accurately predict when a claim is uncertain it would be very popular, I think. I would pay for that kind of reliability tbh

You dont have to literally send a null token. Train it to generate text that summarizes the evidence that is there but the uncertainty of the final answer to a prompt.

Has nothing to do with size, see Japan and China.

I think they mean that a phd doesn't mean much relatively speaking, since everyone around has one so it's less impressive and you're less of an expert when everyone around you is k…

Nonsense, some of my friends are lawyers and they're able to give you consistent interpretations on why they think about a certain aspect of a law a certain way. The whole thing is…

Who are you in this comparison?

Completely agree, I get that this is a stepping stone for future, more reliable robots but I found the demonstration underwhelming.

You're conflating coordinate and proper acceleration.

Physical classrooms don't really scale either, is that really a fundamental problem?

The problem seems to be that many students going to college can't seem to read any substantial texts anymore, while somehow getting themselves into college. It's pretty worrying im…

Its unclear how they intend to fix these fundemantal problems tbh. Things like "Automate the 'must not fail' moments with rules, APIs, and triggers." And "Use policies, templates, …

I hope I'm wrong but I haven't seen anything like this in practice. I would imagine we have the same problem as before where we could use it as an extra filter but the amount of sh…

LLM's still make stuff up routinely about things like this so no there's no way this is a reliable method.

I don't know. I don't really care about the details in this case, I just don't really get the dismissive attitude that often surrounds things like this. Do you think this is not so…

If using data from those websites in a way decreases their visitors or something similar then I think there's an argument to be made for that. I don't know the details to case but …

Appropriate compensation is a non-issue? I have the impression many people jump on the hate-EU train for no other reason than there's many comments reinforcing it. What do you real…

I just read the 'original affluent society' and (most of) your linked essay, I kind of agree with you. That said, the conclusions of Kaplan lead to estimates or 35-60 hours a week …

Whats the problem with attached bottle caps or volume warnings? I used to find these things annoying when I was younger but I do realise things like that can be very useful, even t…

What do ILVA and AM stand for?

What is so fundamentally different about DID proposed in the UK or the US then? I read through some of the documents about it and the data scoping that will be available, which isn…

If an authoritarian state tells a bank to block you as a customer you get exactly the same result. All these options of blocking people are already available to states in general.
