Huh, so that's why text is called a string
Do not think about a pink elephant. ------- Reasoning models struggle to control their chains of thought, and that’s good | OpenAI share.google/VH3REdHvUZOUND…
the fastest way to become useful: pick one hard domain and tear it apart until the pieces feel obvious. you don’t need talent. you need immersion. bury yourself in the primitives. understand the lowest-level units of the craft so deeply that higher layers become trivial. every real skill is built this way: circuits → hardware intuition calculus → control systems mechanics → robotics algorithms → systems design once the primitives click, complexity collapses. most people run from difficulty. they jump to frameworks, shortcuts, abstractions. then wonder why they never become dangerous. stop stacking conveniences. strip everything down. learn the fundamentals until the world becomes transparent. the people who win aren’t faster or smarter. they simply know the roots, not just the branches.
A novel and compelling idea: "Through the metaphor of 'global narcissism' this paper explores how humanity’s response to ecological crisis mirrors narcissistic defense mechanisms and suggests a collapse is taking place." journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20…
Your brain has been fooling you your entire life. This Nobel Prize winner spent 40 years proving it. Here are the 10 mental traps controlling every decision you make: 🧵

Google DeepMind have produced a program that in a certain sense has achieved a silver-medal peformance at this year's International Mathematical Olympiad. 🧵 deepmind.google/discover/blog/…
nytimes.com/2024/07/25/sci… deepmind.google/discover/blog/… AI ≈ IMO SILVER (!) I tried problems while at this year's Intl #Math Olympiad myself. Took hours. When ppl saw Sputnik 1957, they might have had same feeling I do now. Human civ needs to move to high alert! #Mathchat #mtbos 🧵 1/N

Special Relativity quiz/poll (no spoilers if you already know the answer!) Two rockets A and B are initially at rest, with rocket B a distance L in front of rocket A. The rockets are connected by a thin string, also of length L. At time t=0, both simultaneously begin to accelerate at the same rate, such that the distance between the rockets in the initial rest frame remains constant. Does the string connecting the rockets break due to Lorentz contraction?

It pains me to see eminent colleagues like Neil deGrasse Tyson propagate elementary mistakes. What would really be the implications of taking Santa Claus seriously? I’ll repeat the basics of Santa Mechanics. A theory way more advanced than Neil let’s on here. 🎄🧵 1/13
In case you were wondering, for Santa, in a single 24-hr Earth-night, to deliver presents to all those who celebrate Christmas, he must visit 25,000 homes per second.
