Pre literate peole HAD TO memorise vast texts


>I am troubled by people using an LLM at all to write academic research papers.

I'm an outsider to the academic system. I have cool projects that I feel push some niche application to SOTA in my tiny little domain, which is publishable based on many of the papers I've read.

If I can build a system that does a thing, I can benchmark and prove it's better than previous papers, my main blocker is getting all my work and information into the "Arxiv PDF" format and tone. Seems like a good use of LLMs to me.


comparison is the thief of joy


That makes no sense here.

I’m wondering if founders and employees will lose out on any upside.

Considering the payouts will go to them after the investors.



thanks I will try this out


I remember the "under $40k" announcement price


2019 just before covid was a bad time to make price estimates five years into the future.


well half of the problem is that it ended up 2 years late.


Wildly misreported headline

>The Index measures where AI systems overlap with the skills used in each occupation. A score reflects the share of wage value linked to skills where current AI systems show technical capability. For example, a score of 12% means AI overlaps with skills representing 12% of that occupation’s wage value, not 12% of jobs. This reflects skill overlap, not job displacement.

>The Index reports technical skill overlap with AI. It does not estimate job loss, workforce reductions, adoption timelines or net employment effects.


Wish I was smart enough to know how the math ties in with this article from last month

>A force-directed graph is a technique for visualizing networks where nodes are treated like physical objects with forces acting between them to create a stable arrangement. Attractive forces (like springs) pull connected nodes together, while repulsive forces (like electric charges) push all nodes apart, resulting in a layout where connected nodes are closer and unconnected nodes are more separated

I think it would be better and faster if the website calculated the positions of the nodes in the background (with a good enough limit of iterations), and then showed the result. Animating 4k nodes and 25k edges (15k by default) is a waste of CPU and is laggy even on my high-end CPU. But maybe the author was limited by the tools used.


I appreciate the effort, but the bar is already very high when you recommend a SEM in the same breath.


The SEM was cheaper than an optical microscope or a fume hood though :).

(also I don't recommend a SEM in the first post, a cheapo USB 'microscope' will do, I just happen to have had SEM images on hand)
