    1. 从视频生成器升级为导演工具套件

      这一转变提出了一个值得思考的问题:当AI工具开始模拟人类导演的工作流程时,创作者的角色将如何演变?是AI成为导演的助手,还是创作者成为AI的'导演'?这种关系重塑将深刻影响创意产业的未来格局。

    1. Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 can use points as intermediate steps to reason about more complex tasks. For example, it can use points to count items in an image, or to identify salient points on an image to help the model perform mathematical operations to improve its metric estimations.

      这一描述揭示了AI如何通过简单的交互元素(点)构建复杂的推理能力。这种将基础交互能力作为构建块的方法,展示了AI系统在认知架构上的创新。这种渐进式推理能力可能成为未来AI解决复杂任务的关键,同时也提出了关于AI认知过程透明度的重要问题:我们如何理解和验证这种多步骤推理的可靠性?

    1. Luna conducted roughly 20 interviews on Google Meet with the camera off. Hired 2 full-time employees after 5-15 minute calls, and rejected CS and physics students for lacking retail experience.

      令人惊讶的是:AI面试官Luna在完全关闭摄像头的情况下进行了约20次面试,仅用5-15分钟就雇佣了全职员工,甚至拒绝了计算机科学和物理专业的学生,认为他们缺乏零售经验。这展示了AI在招聘决策中的自主性,同时也引发了关于AI面试公平性和有效性的疑问。

    1. To enable true process-level verification, we audit fine-grained intermediate states rather than just final answers, and quantify efficiency via an overthinking metric relative to human trajectories.

      主流评估方法通常只关注最终答案的正确性,而作者提出了一种革命性的评估方法:关注中间过程状态并引入'过度思考'指标来衡量效率。这一观点与当前AI评估领域的传统做法背道而驰,暗示单纯追求正确答案可能掩盖了AI系统在效率和推理路径上的严重缺陷。

    1. It has a panel of critics who tear my work apart from different angles—skills I wrote to invoke certain kinds of feedback, whether it's for length, pacing, or the soundness of the argument.

      大多数人认为AI写作缺乏批判性视角和严格编辑,但作者展示了一个由AI驱动的批评者团队,专门从不同角度撕碎她的作品。这挑战了人们对AI写作质量的担忧,表明AI可以被训练提供比传统编辑更全面、更严格的反馈,甚至可能超越人类编辑的一致性和广度。

    2. My process has about as much in common with that as cooking has with microwaving a frozen dinner.

      大多数人认为AI写作就像简单的提示-生成-粘贴过程,但作者将其比作烹饪与微波冷冻餐的区别,暗示真正的AI写作是复杂且需要技巧的。这挑战了人们对AI写作的简化认知,表明它实际上是一种需要专业技能和创造性的复杂工艺,而非简单的机械化任务。

    3. Research is thinking. Outlining is thinking. Writing is thinking. Any portion of that done by AI is less thinking done by you.

      大多数人认为AI写作减少了思考量,但作者认为这种观点过于简化。实际上,作者展示了AI写作需要更多的思考、批判性判断和严格的编辑过程,远非简单的'少思考'。她的AI写作过程涉及复杂的交互、深度反思和多轮修改,实际上可能比传统写作需要更多的思考投入。

    1. 複雑なリサーチは、単一のクエリに対する回答の集積ではなく、アイデアの生成から、裏付けとなる証拠の探索、矛盾の解消、そして最終的なレポートとしての構造化まで、一連のプロセスを完遂する必要があります。

      大多数人认为AI研究助手应该专注于提供快速、直接的答案,但作者强调复杂研究需要完整的'从想法到结构化报告'的完整过程。这与当前AI助手追求即时回答的主流认知相悖,暗示了质量比速度更重要,这是一个非共识的AI应用观点。

    1. We asked peers who had done their own SOC2 and stole their answer: post-facto reviews. We do regular reviews on large components, like the Rust fly-proxy that powers our Anycast network and the Go flyd that drives Fly machines. But smaller projects like our private DNS server, and out-of-process changes like urgent bug fixes, can get merged unreviewed (by a subset of authorized developers). We run a Github bot that flags these PRs automatically and hold a weekly meeting where we review the PRs.

      This is a nice idea - you can push to main, but the review still happens at a weekly session. This removes the slowness, but still makes sure that there is a shared understanding of what changes were made.

    1. We asked whether an AI system based on large language models (LLMs) could successfully capture the underlying shared perspectives of a group of human discussants by writing a “group statement” that the discussants would collectively endorse.

    1. practices related to having and capturing thoughts (chapters 1and 2); rening thoughts into clear ideas that can be repurposed (chapter 3);connecting ideas across topics (chapters 4 and 5); developing theseconnections and making them accessible to you (chapter 6); andtransforming all the above into writing for readers—writing that can bereintegrated back into the system (chapters 7, 8 and 9).

      Overview of Bob Doto's suggested process:<br /> 1. having and capturing thoughts<br /> 2. refining thoughts into clear ideas that can be repurposed<br /> 3. connecting ideas across topics<br /> 4. developing connections and making them accessible<br /> 5. transforming notes into writing for readers 6. re-integrating writing back into the system (he lumped this in with 5, but I've broken it out)

      How do these steps relate to those of others?

      Stencils

      Before writing stencils, be sure to clean your type. (Don't use liquid solvent.)

      Be sure to place the cushion sheet properly behind the stencil.

      Place the paper bail rollers at the extreme left and right of the stencil to prevent them from marking the master.

      For errors, rub individual characters separately with a burnisher using a circular motion.

    1. The old Cards can be used in many ways. Youcan turn them upside-down, and treat the other endsimilarly, then you can turn them over ,and the backsof them will give you two more spaces to be used.Some might even use the four sides also ! After theCards are entirely covered, they can be used for scrap-books for Hospitals.

      reuse of index cards

      How exactly would fully used ("covered") cards be used for scrapbooks for Hospitals?

    1. Beyond the cards mentioned above, you should also capture any hard-to-classify thoughts, questions, and areas for further inquiry on separate cards. Regularly go through these to make sure that you are covering everything and that you don’t forget something.I consider these insurance cards because they won’t get lost in some notebook or scrap of paper, or email to oneself.

      Julius Reizen in reviewing over Umberto Eco's index card system in How to Write a Thesis, defines his own "insurance card" as one which contains "hard-to-classify thoughts, questions, and areas for further inquiry". These he would keep together so that they don't otherwise get lost in the variety of other locations one might keep them

      These might be akin to Ahrens' "fleeting notes" but are ones which may not easily or even immediately be converted in to "permanent notes" for one's zettelkasten. However, given their mission critical importance, they may be some of the most important cards in one's repository.

      link this to - idea of centralizing one's note taking practice to a single location

      Is this idea in Eco's book and Reizen is the one that gives it a name since some of the other categories have names? (examples: bibliographic index cards, reading index cards (aka literature notes), cards for themes, author index cards, quote index cards, idea index cards, connection cards). Were these "officially" named and categorized by Eco?

      May be worthwhile to create a grid of these naming systems and uses amongst some of the broader note taking methods. Where are they similar, where do they differ?


      Multi-search tools that have full access to multiple trusted data stores (ostensibly personal ones across notebooks, hard drives, social media services, etc.) could potentially solve the problem of needing to remember where you noted something.

      Currently, in the social media space especially, this is not a realized service.

    1. Typewriters? In 2024? Are You Nuts? by Jesse M. Slater for [[Raconteur Press]]

      A short, but relatively solid typewriter 101 story for someone looking for a distraction-free writing machine. Certainly not completist, but enough to get your toes wet.

      Slater uses his typewriter for a first draft, then edits the second draft as he re-types it into his computer to have a digital copy for further editing and distribution.

    1. spawn starts a Python child process from scratch without the parent process's memory, file descriptors, threads, etc. Technically, spawn forks a duplicate of the current process, then the child immediately calls exec to replace itself with a fresh Python, then asks Python to load the target module and run the target callable.

    1. Ergodic Reactor

      What could be the principle of work for this device?

      Ergodic, from ergodic process. A process which follow the "ergodic principle"

      • A point in a moving system will eventually visit all parts of the space in a uniform and random sense.
      • Over long periods of time, the time spent by a system in a region of phase space with the same energy is proportional to the volume of that region.

      Reactor, from reaction. The process is an ergodic reaction, what does that mean?

    1. Typewriter Video Series - Episode 147: Font Sizes and the Writing Process by [[Joe Van Cleave]]

      typewriters for note making

      double or 1 1/2 spacing with smaller typefaces may be more efficient for drafting documents, especially first drafts

      editing on actual paper can be more useful for some

      Drafting on a full sheet folded in half provides a book-like reading experience for reading/editing and provides an automatic backing sheet

      typewritten (or printed) sheets may be easier to see and revise than digital formats which may hide text the way ancient scrolls did for those who read them.

      Jack Kerouac used rolls of paper to provide continuous writing experience. Doesn't waste the margins of paper at the top/bottom. This may be very useful for first drafts.

      JVC likes to thread rolls of paper into typewriters opposite to the original curl so as to flatten the paper out in the end.

      This photo, similar to others in the Carl Mydans series for LIFE Magazine is surely from his September 1958 photo series, though I couldn't find an original from the LIFE archive.

      Nabokov, reading off of index cards in his zettelkasten, dictates to his wife Vera who is typing on what appears to be a 1949 or 1950 Henry Dreyfuss Royal Quiet De Luxe typewriter.

      Notice metal strip on the back of the typewriter with small rectangular blocks. This is the Royal's tabulator set up which distinguishes the Quiet De Luxe model from the Arrow model.

      The body styling of this typewriter changed in 1950 from Dreyfuss' original 1948 design. Because it's light gray it has to be from '49 or '50 as the '48 original was a black body with dark gray highlights and didn't have chrome across the front as this one does in an alternate angle.

    1. McNeill does not specify whether he believed thatcontent or process was more important.

      I can't help of thinking about the debate on nature vs. nurture here. How might we extend it to the idea of content vs. process with respect to cultural anthropology.

      How does a culture vary based on the content they use and produce with respect to the process by which they transmit and use that same content?

      In colonialized cultures the process has been bastardized which then leads to changes in the content as well. Ultimately both switch and are changed from their original. How could a culture hold onto their past which makes it the culture that it was?

      There's some fun stuff going on at these junctures.

    1. Classification work is however not quite as simple as it maylook, on the contrary, it is a rather tricky subject, for wemust give our classes a name, we must define them, we mustknow at any rate ourselves where they begin and where theyend. It would never do for the classes to interfere with each,other, they must be defined so that they neither overlap amongthemselves nor leave any ground of the organisation as a wholeuncovered. That is certainly a difficulty but it is not insur-mountable where patience and perseverance are brought to»bear.

      Kaiser's idea of classification work bears close similarity to Mortimer Adler/Charles Van Doren's concept of coming to terms. There are subtle shades between ideas which must be differentiated so as to better situate them with respect to others.
