Trading understanding for efficiency is not a good idea. You need to work both hard and smart. I am currently doing a literature review, and every time I am about to read a new paper, I am faced with two options:
1. Upload the paper to an LLM and have it write a summary.
2. Read the paper.

It is only clicking to me now what the Big World Hypothesis paper was saying here:
Khurram Javed and Richard Sutton's Big World Hypothesis is interesting. If the world is big and complex, which it is, then it would be very hard to design systems / agents (I am mainly thinking about robotics/robots here) that will operate in all settings.

I just deployed a python library that simplifies the process of downloading and processing South African tenders data. You can find it here: pypi.org/project/sa-t...

I would not have guessed that the death rate in private equity-owned hospitals is higher than in peer hospitals. I thought saving lives meant more profit. I forgot that cutting costs means more profit too.

Death rates rose in hospital ERs after private equity firms took over, study finds
The increased deaths in emergency departments at private equity-owned hospitals are most likely the result of reduced staffing levels, researchers say.

Extraction, Transformation, and Loading (yes, ETL) is the next hot thing. The World Bank, via the OKR, recently published a paper revealing that less than 10% of the data needed to measure and monitor poverty is currently available.

arXiv rendering papers in HTML (instead of only PDFs) is the best move ever! I find it much easier to read papers in the former format, so thank you, arXiv.

Most companies don’t need deep learning. They need clean joins, honest metrics, and interpretable results.
Startups often chase GPU clusters before fixing their CSVs.

What’s the meta-problem holding us back from solving poverty? I’m convinced it’s corruption, especially in the government procurement space. When > 30% of gov resources get squandered, real progress is impossible.

In Europe, the central heating tricked me into thinking that I loved winter. Johannesburg's brutally cold winter is slowly setting the record straight 😅.

I just deployed GovDocs — a web application that uses AI to make South African government documents more searchable, accessible, and understandable. For the best experience, please use a laptop or desktop, as the mobile version currently has limited functionality.

There is something satisfying about understanding something at a fundamental level. I always strive to achieve this (though I'm not always successful), it makes me happy and helps me enjoy work more.
