Terrible article. Did Hassabis really say ”learning how to learn” is itself a skill , like the article paraphrases it? Surely the skill isn’t that you can learn how to learn, the skill is that you k…

> users come away with a stronger impression of “solidness” This really is what UI polish of any kind is all about. You feel like you can trust it more, it feels more robust and reliable. Animation…

This would have been very exciting 5 years ago. Today I’m longing for reducing lock-in to specific frameworks, and using the platform more directly.

This is all true. But it is what we have. I’ve found myself wondering if a model with stronger conceptual integrity could be designed and use CSS as a compilation target. For example, with container q…

I’ve dramatically reduced my median calories per meal, by scheduling eight new meals a day, each consisting of one lettuce leaf.

It matters if the result is not the same. The article argues that this is an important aspect of what a human developer does that current AI cannot. And I agree. As I said, I find the idea very convin…

The point isn’t that writing and reading aren’t useful. The point is that they’re different from forming new neurological connections as you familiarize yourself with a problem. LLMs, as far as I know…

Good opportunity to share this life hack: I used to end up with a mess almost every time I used my coffee grinder, much like the picture in the article. Eventually I learned that this only happens wit…

> I'm a world class writer This is awkward, but I think you mean ”I'm a world-class writer”.

If you found all the words, surely that means there is no 1-letter word to find? Unless I’m completely misunderstanding the rules.

It’s more like if they sold you a lawnmower, but kept the key to start it, and now they’re dead, and someone bought their key cabinet.

What is the hidden phrase? I suppose ”Plants plans plan pan” can be understood as a grammatically correct phrase, but a really quite odd one. I don’t think that’s what’s intended to be a hidden phra…
