I think the same could be said of anything resembling technical writing. As an example aside from code writing, I think more than half of the machine learning papers out there are …

Emotion management. I think this is more subtle than having a stoic front to everything. There are places/times where showing bare emotions moves the needle forward for example ins…

I know I can't really argue with advice but I feel intrinsic motivation is dependent on your upbringing, random factors so I have to say this rubs me the wrong way but is somewhat …

I think that is fine advice. I wish it be ground down more as the opposite of what is comfortable encompasses a huge spectra of discomfort.

I've noticed if at all there is any advice that is universally applicable overarching discipline, motivation, ... is growth. Plain and simple. The way to grow is so subtle, so easy…

Iterative progress gives people the illusion of progress most of the time. Iterative progress is more a soother of emotions than an actual solution. Most of human problem solving t…

When in doubt save money. I have a friend who does the opposite. My friend of misery always regrets it and never learns

Fair heuristic. AA lot of people report it (gut feeling) doesn't scale as much as they'd like

I feel this list is missing sitting down to write stuff. It doesn't have to be journaling, it could be writing essays or whatnots

I'm always curious to know other folks' heuristics for better decision making whether it be "ask questions after action" or top-10 ways this will fail list and throw out the last 5…

> Computer scientists might argue that all programming languages are Turing complete anyway and the choice of which one to use is not that important Efficiency and the real world w…

Linguistic relativity seems to be a thing. Because of the differences I would think it could be inferred that an ordering amongst languages exists. In the least a partial ordering …

Agentic frameworks are nothing but somewhat impressive glue engineering and hundred percent will be passed over when models with bigger context lengths and better reasoning come ab…

Something I've learnt the hard way. While there is merit to be able to do things without model assistance, this is a tale as old as time: purists who resist model usage will in the…

RNN with extra steps?

I don't understand. If kaggle solutions were able to do those, what the hell do these mean? https://arcprize.org/2024-results

Given how o3 cracked the arc bench and I'm probably sounding like a broken record, this isn't as farfetched as some of you may think it is. ML models will very likely continue to s…

> you're saying you can't understand why you should be happy to be here? I think you miss the aspect of how insignificant existence is locally. Sure the odds are astronomical but y…

Building the future

Is it not true that The Arc test is designed to be one where the rules are dynamic? i.e every one of the tests are different from each other in an absolute sense. Learning about on…
