PhD students are already using AI models to work for them. Most of the PhD candidates I know have $200 Claude Max plan which they use to their fullest.
I see that they are able to do researches that they were not previously able to do. And although I see that using AI has certainly diminished their ability to code some stuff up, I see it the same way as someone using scikit-learn or Pytorch to code their ML models -- indeed the underlying details is abstracted away from you, and without AI, you won't be able to do much, but the research that you do is indeed happening because of you and wouldn't have happened with just the AI doing the research.
I feel like most of these things can be avoided if people just think what they are going to write in abstract terms before writing the code. If they do it like this, I think they are going to choose the best Data Structure for the job, which is what most of this article was.
TikTok easily bends over backwards authoritarian government. In Nepal, during the GenZ protest, TikTok disabled the search for "NepoBabies" which is the term people used for the affluent lifestyle of leaders' children and which was why the GenZ protest happened. Every other social media was banned but not TikTok because they happily censor whatever the government tells them to
In Nepal, on Sep 8, teenagers and GenZ organized peaceful protests. They were there on school uniform -- but 21+ were killed on a single day of peaceful protest. The next day, all 3 branches of the government were burned -- the legislative, the executive and the judiciary too. Even the Fox News equivalent (Kantipur) was burned.
I think people always opt for peaceful protest at first, but when that is made impossible, people go for the violent one. MLK was successful because there was the threat of Malcolm X. Same thing with Gandhi.
1. Open a file using Preview, but it is behind all other windows.
2. If you connect to your own personal hotspot (iphone) on mac, you can't forget it and connect to someone else's hotspot.
To be honest, `awk` that the author references to as a good name, is not. It's just the initials of authors, which does not convey anything about what the tool does. It's yet another cognitive tax.
And I would go further, the extremely shortened names in Linux and other places is problematic too, given that most terminals now allow name completion on tab.
As an aside, I didn't know what Comic Sans looks like, so I searched on Google and it rendered the whole page in that font. I tried with other Fonts too like Arial and Times New Roman, and it did the same there. So cool!
Here is AI being as close as possible to the most animated person I know and here I am sounding robotic in every conversation I have, despite my best efforts to sound otherwise. Sometimes, I just wish I could have an AI speak for me
