dlandau··on The killer app of Gemini Pro 1.5 is using video as an input
I don't think highlighting one mistake is enough, when these can sometimes have more mistakes than corrects. I've found use for LLMs (in large part thanks to your teaching) in cases where I can easily verify the results fully like code and process documentation, but tasks where "fact-checking everything" would be too much work are very much on the danger zone for getting accidentally scammed by AI.

dlandau··on The Fourier Transform, explained in one sentence (2014)
That was my experience studying statistical physics in Uni. For "some reason" the fourth book I read was the "only one" written in a way that made sense. No relation to the order I read them in, just written better.
