@beffjezos I don't think AI will make things better for the average person in the short term. It's not about "a new narrative" it's about making tech companies stop enshittifying everything. How is AI going to fix tip screens at coffee shops?
English
AI will make everything better. We need to help people realize that.
Our national competitors are weaponizing democracy against us so that we cede the lead to them.
We have to paint an optimistic future so people realize the costs of stopping progress.

people don’t realize how bad AI doomerism has gotten you can’t just call them luddites and move on they will vote, and we will lose the modern space race we need to start SHOWING people how AI is going to improve their life… NOW

@dillon_mulroy @mattpocockuk are we just doing supermemo from first principles
ai ssr with autoteaching inbetween
English
@mattpocockuk i saw somebody talking about using auto research for this - basically the loop would be:
1. teach a concept
2. quiz on concept
3. failed quiz? go to 1 and teach with different approach, else go to 1 and teach next concept

@RistoMurto 10% korot tulossa. Koska tuotto ja tuonti tavaroista ja paveluista laskee
Suomi
Suomi on todennäköisesti euroalueen korkoherkimpiä talouksia. Erityisesti asuntolainat ovat meillä vahvasti lyhyisiin markkinakorkoihin sidottuja. Tätä korkoherkkyyttä päästään taas testaamaan, jos EKP alkaa kesällä nostamaan ohjauskorkoja.

@OliverMolander Housing prices falling is great though
We should aim to produce for deflation in all things! Especially basic necessities
English
This is a pretty insane stat, even for a small country like Finland with 5 million people.
The Finnish economy is in really bad shape.
Reflective on the housing market.
Those who bought a apartment in Helsinki in 2021 have to wait until the 30s to get their money back.

Suomessa myytiin tammi-huhtikuussa jokaisena kuukautena alle 90 uutta asuntoa. Siis koko maassa. Vuonna 2025 myynti jäi kerran alle 100 asunnon (tammikuussa). Aiemmin näin matalia lukuja ei ole nähty.

People using AI to write bullshit was a problem pre-AI. In fact, post AI, the damage caused has been diminished. When the total volume of bullshit increased exponentially, value of being able to produce bullshit went to zero. Now, no one takes non-reproducible papers seriously!

@ArmandDAngour @BrunoHeisey @gadboit2 And have met Computer Science professors who cannot program themselves out of a shoebox
English
@ArmandDAngour @BrunoHeisey @gadboit2 I just remembered an encounter
I met a professor who couldn't give a spontaneous lecture about their own subject, in the language, that they were a professor, in!

Imagine “speaking”ancient Greek and Latin at 8, when most classical literature would be far too sophisticated for a boy of that age to read and appreciate.
The Scientific Lens@LensScientific
Mathematician and polymath John von Neumann could speak 8 languages by the age of 6, including Ancient Greek and Latin, while mentally dividing 8-digit numbers for fun. By 8, he was already studying calculus. At 15, he entered the University of Budapest. At 19, he earned a degree in chemical engineering. At 22, he completed a PhD in mathematics in Berlin. He later helped shape quantum mechanics, game theory, modern computing, nuclear strategy, and artificial intelligence.

@Peterhardwick17 @ArmandDAngour @pronouncedsimon @gadboit2 I'm sure the French client enjoyed the machinery catalogue even more😄
English
@STrosterud @ArmandDAngour @pronouncedsimon @gadboit2 As for dictionaries, I can only recount my favourite story. A French client has received an English machinery catalogue translated into French. He was puzzled that it mentioned chèvre d’eau, literally water goat.
The original English was hydraulic ram….

Your cannot only study a language
You have to just know it
No translating, no middle steps, no nerdery
Armand D'Angour@ArmandDAngour
There's learning and there's learning. A student once proudly told me she knew Latin: she had scored 100% in her GCSE Latin exam. When I asked her to read a simple sentence from Caesar's Gallic Wars she had no clue what it meant, because she had not studied that text for the exam.
English
Having multiple works in a language be quite far away from each other, in language, is completely OK
More a political question
Obviously a Mahrebi Arabic speaker understands an Emirati worse than a Norwegian understands Swedish
Even if they speak “the same language”
I’m assuming actual familiarity with the actual language as it is written
English
@OurLadyofAntifa @ArmandDAngour @STrosterud @gadboit2 Most of what we have is from a specific part of that world, Judah and (to a lesser extent) Israel. If we only had literature from Athens, Greek would have been a lot more consistent.
English
@Peterhardwick17 @ArmandDAngour @pronouncedsimon @gadboit2 Completely agree
And any linguistics phd armed with a a good dictionary and time, knows all the languages in the world
If translation is sufficient
English
English
@DavidRobjant @ArmandDAngour @pronouncedsimon @gadboit2 Appreciate and like definitely go hand in hand
And speaking to them is deeper than “mature to appreciate”, or why do you read?
A religious scholar will obv have a deeper emotional understanding, connection to the writer and work, than a translating “appreciator”
English
@STrosterud @ArmandDAngour @pronouncedsimon @gadboit2 “maturity to appreciate” ≠ “speaks to them”
also
“appreciate” ≠ ‘like’
English
Do you think a 9 year old English speaker knows English enough to read the bible get something out of it? Assuming the English is close to the English he has grown up with?
He won’t get what Songs of Solomon are about. And understand any references
But I think they would get a lot out of it. And think obviously wouldn’t need to translate. Again, if the English was close to what they have learned
Same goes for any second or third language. Assuming the child is sufficiently exposed to it. And knows how to read
Not saying they get the allegories. But there is nothing special about ancient Greek or Classical Arabic that makes it any more or less impossible than any other colorful, and compex language
If the version of the language is far removed from what they know, then it’s not so easy. But that’s just an extension of any language being further away from the original
No different from adult Norwegians understanding Danish better than 9 years ago Norwegians. And icelandic saga’s are tough in the original without study or translation. Not because of inherent complexity, but because of how removed their own language skills are from the original. Icelandic kids don’t struggle with that, nor is it impossible for bilingual icelandic speakers. Same with classical arabic poetry or the Quran
English
@STrosterud @pronouncedsimon @gadboit2 That makes me quite multilingual.
To quote my wife, who was once asked how many languages I speak,“Twenty-five”, she said drily.
“Two words in each.”
