when I used to study both linguistics and computer science in college, people often remarked "oh does studying human language help with programming languages?" and the answer was usually no, not really

but with the advent of large language models... i guess they were actually right in a way?

Here, HP merch is still extremely common and widespread at big retailers such as Barnes and nobles. Think of HP like American Sanrio

There's a massive financial incentive to keep the brand family friendly in the eyes of the public, so there's still many who are ignorant of her views/actions.

whenever Im reading a memorial for someone who passed away, i immediately just hear the wind howling, maybe a flag flapping in the air. the sounds of remembrance. honoring a fellow human's life.

this also works in the negative way. bigots see X minority do something bad then generalize "the rare time I saw X minority they did something bad, so they did it because they're bad, so that minority has inherent badness"

bigots think - no, I have counterevidence of me not being racists therefore I'm not a racist

The human brain operates on first order logic. "I didn't act racist once, so I'm not racist, so my actions aren't racist"

the biggest challenge of being self aware of your racial biases is that most racial biases are not deterministically racist but rather probabilisticaly

maybe this also stems from financial insecurity fears

"if I eat too much (or spend too much on food) and make it a habit I'm going to go poor"

as cliche as it sounds, "listen to your body" when it comes to eating has helped me

and i'm learning both to: stop overeating giant meals at once, but also, to not ignore the signal "i'm hungry" just because it's not "meal time" or "i already ate"

learning about food nutrition (shoutout talon fitness) and muscle gain has definitely helped

lowkey do i have some disordered eating behaviors? not trying to go beyond the standard "two or three meals a day" and also fear of gaining fat preventing me from properly bulking

if i ate junk food i would've felt awful both physically and mentally, but knowing these were good for me AND i got to eat a ton... was awesome. and i'm not feeling any indigestion

i just went feral on some healthy midnight snacks (nuts, yogurt, popcorn, string cheese) and it made me feel positive about bulk eating and muscle growth for the first time

a lot of outrage in the past about kickstarters being "cash grabs" and not properly delivering seem to assume running a business is a very stable and having cash guarantees success. it's not, most businesses go out of business and fail

and that's okay

this is why AI can't replace "real" thinking, it is both a good mentee and a good mentor but not great at either

this kinda maps to:

asking unknown unknown
asking known unknowns
answering with known knowns
answering with unknown knowns

maybe? I might be forcing the metaphor

or rather, great mentors teach how to ask the right questions* something like that

good mentees ask many questions

great mentees ask the right questions

good mentors answer those questions and encourage the mentee to ask more

great mentors don't just answer the questions posed, because they could be the wrong questions, they answer the right questions even if they aren't asked
