I try to contribute to things getting better, sometimes through polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with your comment ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.

No no no, it’s way more comfortable thinking that I don’t have to make any big efforts because it’s only the responsibility of some elite.

You probably live in a social democracy, universities being public means there’s some flavor of socialism (as in social democracy, not communism) in your country, with a regulated free market and capitalism.

Our sauteed with onions really good too. People who don’t like greens probably only know them boiled in water which washes the taste away.

Git is a tool that makes it convenient and lightweight to keep past snapshots of a directory of text files (called a repository) and compare them. It also makes it easy to have multiple people work in parallel on the content of the directory, see the differences and merge everything into a common version. It is essential in programming, it’s called versioning or version control.
Although it is not easy to access for non programmers because it’s based on slightly obscure command lines. So it’s a bit of an over-engineering to use it for a single file edited by a single person. Especially because you can now put those on the cloud and have some form of version control that allows to easily compare and go back to previous versions graphically.
It may be worth it if it’s a long document that you work upon for a long time, such as a PhD thesis.

Just fork git to handle zipping, formatting and ignoring metadata! Or just put your office document in the cloud and use the basic versioning it provides.

In case you're mad at yourself for closing your precious window with all the right tabs opened, note that Firefox allows to reopen recently closed windows (jlai.lu)

I generally have a “home” Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to “lose” it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

Yes, AI term is used for marketing, though it didn’t start with LLMs, a couple of years before, any ML algorithm was called AI together with the trendy data scientist job.

However, I do think LLMs are very useful, just try them for your daily tasks, you’ll see. I’m pretty sure they will become as common as a web search in the future.

Also, how can you tell that the human brain is not mostly a very powerful LLM hosting machine?

Cue conspiracy on a CIA plan that took 50 years to yield results.

Too obvious. More like, “We’re going to use slightly less lubricated ball bearings, position the aircraft on the market just where they will buy it, the maintenance specificity will not be documented, and it should kill a couple of important people in 50 years!”.

You could try reading Feynman’s lectures, he was a very passionate teacher, and he used intuition a lot, so you don’t need to grind on equations to follow. en.wikipedia.org/…/The_Feynman_Lectures_on_Physic…

I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything. There are many things I don’t know anything about, such as whether it means...

Marginalia is general term for whatever was drawn in the margins, I think a more precise term is drollery, from French drôle which means funny. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drollery

That’s a much smoother way to become a criminal than by committing an actual crime, kinda convenient.
