That site hijacks the CMD+LEFT and CMD+RIGHT Mac hotkeys for browser BACK/FORWARD and also has very strange behavior when scrolling with the keyboard. Why? Why? Why?

As well as up, down, pgup, pgdown, alt+left and alt+right on Chromium Linux. Stopped reading when I saw this enforcement of how they think their site should be experienced.

Hi, I'm the author of the post. I wrote it on Notion to seek feedback from a few friends, but seems like one friend shared the Notion link here :) Hope that my website would provide a better reading experience instead - https://jetnew.io/blog/2021/100-lessons/

The title here and on the blog differs, I don't know why submiters pick other titles. I mean I wouldn't quote a newspaper or paper with a wrong title, would I?

It is one of the site's guidelines. >If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

Okay and why?

-> 87. Don't let yourself be too affected by the opportunity costs of doing research.

Why not? Is there a strong payoff later? How did you learn this lesson?

:)

Good listicle!

How do you formally verify your neural networks and the like? Or is formal verification possible? Does this limit the areas where it can be applied?

Do AI researchers have a commonly accepted definition for intelligence?

PG considered them a special case of linkbait. Which is the only other time you are supposed to modify the title.

There is also no specification for "AI".
