"Brain connectivity systematically scaled down with the amount of external support: the Brain‑only group exhibited the strongest, widest‑ranging networks, Search Engine group showed intermediate engagement, and LLM assistance elicited the weakest overall coupling."
"the primary visual cortex, located at the back of the brain, receives the visual signals and processes basic visual features like edges, lines, and orientations."
So, potentially if we did a pre-processing step to get more features out beforehand we would see different results in the output.
And I ran my first experiment on Saturday to good effect. Ran a small ad and already got some leads. I feel super pumped about it. And excited to share out the results soon! Definitely an easy experiment to start proving the model.
I would imagine it will then have to be some sort of matching algorithm or dual opt in system. Maybe dating apps styles will become common.:P
I loved that you made it easy to incorporate world events etc. And the general school calendar.
It would be really nice to incorporate the world events in a list of select which ones made an impact in your life.
I wonder if the application process will switch up in the near future to people posting their profiles for then company recruiters/AI to reach out and contact since if they post a job they just get 10k automated applications.
Sounds terrible to me, coins are so much harder to keep track of!
But as a creator myself, I'm not at what size I would figure out company procedure for death other than canceling/transferring an account.
It takes a crazy amount of time to extensively research and prove things in education for a few reasons:
There is opposition to doing the research because teachers/parents don't want their students to be the first.
It's really hard to make random control groups because schools want to put kids in classrooms by their process, not the whims of the researchers.
It's expensive and mostly controlled by the big granters (ex. Gates Foundation).
Results are often looked at via testing measures (which if you look at assessments, sometimes they were proven by having 400 white kids in an affluent school use, aka not representative).
And so, we have a bit of an issue.
Almost no one teaches math via a spreadsheet even though most adults do. It isn't researched on the implications.
Data science as a class to qualify for credit to get into college is greatly contentious because it isn't proven. Even though it is clearly important to our current era.
In addition, teachers are human and so they don't necessarily teach with the 100% best proven methodologies day in and day out.
So I think it's important to realize that education is human. It's flawed and messy and isn't aligned to the best methods already. Sometimes you get lucky with a teacher that works for you and sometimes not.
Like the idea of a firework bang, being low intense vibrations, or a car horn being a high pitched short startling sound. Still can't really imagine it like I can picture things in my head, but I have an idea of the what the experience would be like.
Another fun story. I did improv comedy for a few years. One of the warm up games we played was someone would start singing a song, then another person would tag you out and sing a different song. I was bad at this game. But I have a few simple things in my back pocket to "play". Somewhere over the rainbow is one of them. The last person was doing some sort of rap, and what came out from me was a rap version, until the crowd helped correct it. I just have no idea what it sounds like other than trying to memorize if it's a high pitch or a low pitch, etc.
Regarding the inner monologue, I do have one. And it feels similar to my ability to visualize. I can control it, give it emotion per say, (not sound for me), but it isn't as strong as a memory of a dream.
However, I signed up for yours but there is no way to see other groups etc. so, I don't think what you have is meetup yet, just private event hosting. I hope you decide to make some groups have a public option so the events can find people outside their network to come.
School Districts horribly mismanage their budgets. One of the largest school districts in the country and one of my clients just didn't know how much money they had spent for two years. So, their solution was to not renew any contracts the following year. Didn't matter how important they were, you were only safe if you had a multi-year contract (which thankfully I did). The people who are making spending choices in districts are often clueless about how to spend money or think about ROI.
Some schools are likely underfunded. But they also just need financial literacy training.
At first, it's against dedicating your life to your startup (which presumably you are already doing or at least want to do) and then states that YC actually has a good success rate for unicorns.
Then he talks about doing some brainstorming to find ideas and product market fit, but at least from my perspective YC doesn't advocate for this at all, but rather talking to customers, getting their buy in and then making something that solves customer problems. Aka, not brainstorming at all.
And then goes on to say that YC has lots of young people rather than older (more likely to be successful founders). But doesn't do any of the data diligence on percent of founders by age by industry and by YC vs. not.
And finally he focuses on saying that only the unicorns were success stories and no one else, while advocating that you should aim for a smaller goal. But doesn't acknowledge any data of companies from YC that aren't unicorns but are still operating, sold for less than a billion, etc.
I personally think that looking from the outside that YC is not for everyone and is geared towards the VC route. But if you want those things, then these arguments aren't valid for why you wouldn't apply.
I wish that you wouldn't automatically move to the next word when I finish typing. I want to read it over again and process, then move forward.
Sometimes your idea isn't worth scaling, but rather just focus on serving the people you've found and give them more and more value.
Hopefully you see this and can keep your user sign ups flowing!
Being fit definitely has its social benefits in romance, but it isn't the reason I go when it's far below freezing out at 730 in the morning.
Research also backs this. That the people who keep going find ways to enjoy it and not for the long term hope of losing weight or looking fit.
