It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.

Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

If ya like wiener dogs, origami, & stop-motion but always wondered why nobody combined em into a beautiful Polish short film from 1969, then wonder no more…

The sheer amount of time it took to make this 6m masterpiece staggers the mind ("Kundelek" means mongrel)

AirBnB CEO calling it “vibe revenue” just 👨‍🍳 😘

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

The US has about 2.7 million miles of paved roads & 5,100 airports with paved runways & you might hear these surfaces described as TARMAC.

What you may not realize is:
they're named for their inventor.

No, not 'John Tarmac', but close!
They're named for *John MacAdam*.

Let's talk about it.
What Airport Areas Are Considered Tarmac?
Tarmac is a shortened version of Tarmacadam, a type of pavement made out of crushed stone covered in tar.

Big demand for whistles in New Orleans and 3D printing is the fastest/cheapest way to produce them right now. If you can help with printing, DM me. There are volunteers already handling pickups, dropoffs, regular printed materials and bundling. We could just use more people printing.

Back when the Deep Magic was written, including REM’s Nightswimming or more than 3 Peter Gabriel OR Indigo Girls songs was code for “I love you.” The tape could be placed in the crush’s locker or “accidentally” left behind in their car, to be experienced in absentia so as not to ruin it.

A great many white readers in 1967 were not ready to accept a brown-skinned hero. But they weren’t expecting one. I didn’t make an issue of it, and you have to be well into the book before you realize that Ged, like most of the characters, isn’t white.
