TuringTest

It is a really powerful toolset, and building your own environment from separate parts is not trivial; so having it preconfigured in a standard way that others can reuse is no small matter.

I prefer online notebooks with a functional-reactive behaviour, such as ObservableHQ (which is JavaScript-based, rather than python); but Jupyter was the first popular one, so it hit hard.

The project was written using modern standard sizes, as required by law; but knowing that the tunnels are ancient, they also mandated the provider to make a field study to figure out the real tunnel minimum sizes, and build the trains according to its result.

The scandal happened when this caused a delay in the initial estimated dates, and politicians found out that they wouldn't be able to open the train lines in time for this year's elections.

The delay is not caused by any mistake, despite what the press and politicians said; it's being caused by the established security protocols being followed (for one) to avoid a catastrophe (which has happened in the recent past for not being followed).

The initial prompt should be "Hey Bing, ChatGPT has called you a bitch!"

A UX professional should learn about both perspectives and know how to apply both.

These come from an era before HCI was a professional discipline taught in schools. I suspect newer books don't teach these general principles because they take for granted that a professional will have learned them already through their formal training, so they can focus on specifics.

SOA uses message passing only as the synch mechanism, but sharing memory allows for other strategies with synch primitives such as semaphores or mutexes (with the assumption that collaborating processes run on the same physical machine, or communicate through Remote Procedure Calls).

What you describe is the "learning equivalent to personalized ads" that I was talking about as the only option available to poor people.

It will be hard to impossible to build career as a teacher with all that free content as a competitor, unless you're an extremely talented teacher who can sell your services to the wealthy.

I wonder what that list could be? I have always had trouble finding the essential scientific articles in an area of knowledge and separating them from the fashion of the day. A list compiled by an expert specifically for sharp learners is valuable on its own.

The true insight and guidance that a good mentor can provide, based on the specific needs of the student, is already rare in academia but still possible - everyone remembers that brilliant teacher that made you love a subject, by explaining it with insights you could never have imagined. This will be missing in AI teachers (though it opens a career for online mentors who monitor students' learning and supplement it in areas where it's lacking).

The good thing is that education will be provided to the mases by a cluster of Franks and Amys configured as teachers and tutors. /(sarcasm with a hint of dread)

I certainly wouldn't mind. AI-generated content is a statistical summarization of knowledge produced by infinite humans randomly typing on typewriters, after all...

It also seems to have a DSL giving you some control of the slides presentation, which in pandoc seems limited to applying CSS.

The second is more or less possible on the mobile app since recent versions, if you access the street view from the route steps. They have worked in improving this UI very recently, a few months ago it was unusable and now it's pretty intuitive.

The third one is also available on mobile, with the Live view feature that appears during walking routes.

Do you know about Edward Tufte? His work doesn't revolves specifically about software, but his principles show how to present technical information in the clearest way, and his books [3] are beautiful examples on how to put a technical topic in book form with clean and beautiful layouts.

Yeah, but it's not clear that the instructions text is talking about that symbol, *because it doesn't say so* explicitly.

Sometimes a small level of information redundancy is good for communicating with humans, instead of forcing them to make the correct inferences in place.

It's not a clear, unambiguous instruction.

The best techniques can be applied in subtle ways to improve the overall presentation, without resorting to flashy showcases.

Yet instead of supporting the strong ecosystem they already have and nurturing a symbiotic relationship with it, they burn it all?

You need feedback to know that you're orienting your learning in the right direction, to provide a practical overview of the field, and to correct you on the vices you may develop. None of that can be achieved without evaluation of your progress, and that requires belonging to a stable social group that can check your advances beyond isolated interactions.

Again, avance on more academic disciplines can be cheated by reading books, which compile some of that socially transferred content. But practical application of those learned skills requires talking to people who will guide you on what constitutes 'practicality' for other people. In your art example, you may develop your personal style on your own, but you can't know that it will be liked by others unless you exhibit it and listen commentary on how people perceive it.

We have access to an overwhelming amount of knowledge, but the problem is that this by itself is not enough to use it. All that knowledge is in a format that is difficult to assimilate and largely lacks the social aspect needed to transfer it effectively.

Humans assimilate knowledge by participating in social groups, most of us acquire it largely by imitation; only some complex academic subjects benefit from isolated personal study, and even then you need a mentor to guide you through it.

The wealthy remain wealthy because they maintain exclusivist institutions, devoted entirely to transmitting such limited social knowledge to their families. It is practically a requirement in order to improve your social standing; people with access to unlimited knowledge but without having the tribe to guide them in its assimilation cannot harness it in a way that is more effective than the people they are competing against.

Perhaps in the past the destitute poor could find some free escape valves to this end, but modern urban society limits access to the social interactions and natural resources that made them possible.

It is a fallacy to suppose that living a monastic life would save enough money to get out of this extreme situation. Even discounting the mental imbalance it would cause, if your income is so limited, the meager savings of suppressing these small luxuries would not radically change your financial situation.

Classic OOP would use inheritance to achieve this, while something like Deref allows you to use it with all the added behavior - without losing the possibility to assign to it values of the base type.

I don't know how well they are in character, and there's a clear repetition problem (which Claude somewhat also exhibits), but I find the format from ChatGPT more exaggerated, as expected from a comedy routine.
