Waterloo grads are unbelievably cracked software engineers. Has anyone written up an essay on what they’re doing there? Would be interested to read.

I've noticed a lot of people complaining jokingly that they now pause when they're about to use a fancy word. That's great. That's exactly what one should do — stop and think "is there a way to say this more simply?"

DUNE but if it was high fashion https://t.co/n44KYaXY0u

ten years as an antiquarian, hearing nothing but "my relative kept these untouched in a box their whole life but they died, and I don't want this stuff" has radicalized me. annotate the books. use the china. wear the clothes until they wear out. your life should not be a museum https://t.co/WhuTUXhHhB

95% of what we are doing in AI is stuff that's simple enough to explain to a child, made way over-complicated by mathematical-looking notation and unclear thinking. A short rant 🧵 using attention as an example.

Akibat punahnya bahasa (termasuk hilangnya kemampuan membaca aksara). Ada lontar warisan keluarga yg dikeramatkan krn dikira isinya mantra tolak bala dalam aksara kawi, setelah diteliti dan diterjemahkan ternyata isinya resep masakan yg ditulis salah satu nenek buyut mereka.

@historyinmemes Nolan is awesome

ebooks are weirdly honest because you can only impress people with what you learned from them, not so much with piles of unread ones sitting around in your proximity

@luciascarlet i always find myself realising how lucky i am to live in an era with so much knowledge at my fingertips

Returning from an experimental ~2 week detox from the internet. Main takeaway is that I didn't realize how unsettled the mind can get when over-stimulating on problems/information (like a stirred liquid), and ~2 weeks is enough to settle into a lot more zen state. I'm struck by…

@MKBHD We asked our @NASAHQPhoto team, and the answer is yes, the phone sensor could be damaged just like any other image sensor if it’s pointed directly at the Sun. This is especially true if you’re using any sort of magnifying lens attachment on the phone. You would need to utilize…

You know how particles change when observed? I think “being yourself” is so significant because it’s the act of transcending the observations placed on you by others, which can control you or take you off your path. It’s like an energy war
