The isolation-experiment-based research is not new and didn't originate with Lilly. AFAIK, it was first recorded (and possibly also originated) with Avicenna (Abu Ali Ibn-e Sina is the full, correct name).
And he was not an Ayrab (Salmon in his intro CS book claims Al-Khuarezmi was an Arabic scholar--which is false and made me lose all respect for Salmon as an educator. If he got such an elementary fact wrong, what else is there that could be incomplete?)
PS: Yes Alkhuarezmi wrote in Arabic, but he was not an Arab. All classical Persian scholars at the time were fluent in Arabic as it was the lingua franca of science, medicine, philosophy and theology.
i had Bolt create an interactive app teaching me Oberon language but despite several attempts to fix issues, there were still glitches in unexpected places.
So the experience was... meh.
Then I went back to a book written by humans (Eric Nikitin's "Realm of Oberon").
Go lets you constrain type parameters with interfaces. To do anything analagous in SML you have to use functors, which is substantially less convenient. I think people who refer to ML's parametric polymorphism in this context must really be thinking of parametric polymorphism in OCaml or Haskell.
Fine in principle, but AFAIK it never really caught on because the ergonomics suck. Interfaces/traits/type classes do seem to be a popular feature across languages, for what it's worth.
Im getting triggered now, I used AI to help gather the data and the charts, Ill endeavour to use more manual labour with the grammer which Im basically terrible at but thank you for the (you)
I would rather read imperfect human grammar than perfect AI corpospeak. It'
s no shade to you, AI produces the most soul crushing prose imaginable. I'd rather read a teenage girl's fanfiction.
AI is a uniformizer - it's suppose to make us more machine like so that we're more replaceable. People use it because there's an economic advantage, and because it provides a dopamine hit, but that's it.
A guy I knew used to write English even though it was a second language. It was charming. Now he uses ChatGPT and it sounds soulless.
I agree. It's so grating.
"This isn't an issue—it's an epidemic. Here's the takeaway: attention span is a load-bearing element of cognition. And honestly? This article nails it."
(Not actually AI, I just made it up and tried to cram in a bunch of tropes)
People don't like reading articles "redacted" by AI because that feels disrespectful
Imagine approaching someone you wanna talk to and they just silently point to their assistant, suggesting you talk to them instead. I want to hear your thoughts from you, not filtered by some assistant/machine
People use markers of effort as a proxy to gauge the quality of a resource.
AI prose is low effort, even if your gathering of statistics and making charts was not. So that effort is undermined by the marker of AI prose which leads to an implication the rest of the data could be also, even if that is not actually the case.
Antony Trollope says in 'Eustace Diamonds' that he feels in a lot of professions, experience creates more competent people than mere learning. (Rough paraphrase). In other words, you don't get to be truly competent unless you are earning that experience!
the culprit is not the sun-- but overdoing it. If you overdrink water, it is fatal, too.
The sun is responsible for benefiting over 200 processes in the body. And you don't need to be out in the sun all day to get the benefits (if your job does not demand it).
have you tried 'A hero of our time' by Lermontov. Upon reading it, I felt really sorry the author died an early death. I have not felt like that about any other European author.
> I felt really sorry the author died an early death.
Everyone who knew Lermonotov personally thought Michel was a massive asshole. His biggest hobbies were destroying existing relationships by seducing the women and badmouthing everyone in his vicinity.
Eh... I don't think a man capable of such poetry to be that asshole. He says as much in the second preface. I think he may have used the narrator in the first part of the novel as his own mouthpiece.
I'm reading Trollope these days. There's a massive difference between the two authors. Trollope is more psychological, focused on relationship dynamics (at least in the books I've read so far, such as "He knew he was right").
A bit dull at the start but it quickly ramps up and escalates to pitch fever excitement. Can't wait to see what Lizzie would do wrt to her diamonds. :)
