Back in uni, I used to write down notes both in class and during my own revision. It truly helped me pass tests. My go to was the Pomodoro technique. 25 minutes of reading and writing then 5 minutes of rest. Did this for four 25 minute sessions. By the end of the day I had short notes of what I had read that day.

You don't want to make the Sultan mad. If he gets mad, he won't sell you rare earths.

All jokes aside, I'm pretty sure both are still used. Non Turks still use Turkey.

When governments do such things, expect bad results. The protesters' demands aren't unreasonable at all. Just be meritocratic in civil service appointments.

Meta's next for him? There's lots of money being poured into their AI division and there's lots of compute & being able to do any kind of research he might want.

They should have told informed every customer about this "feature". It seems Boeing waits for something bad to happen to then reveal the feature that caused the accident. Same thing with the MCAS.

Coffee & Tea are both stimulants. So I wouldn't be wrong by coming to the same conclusion about tea drinkers. Guess my cranium has been marinated real good.

By analyzing the function of individual neurons, these guys were/are able to gain a deeper understanding of how language models process language, which could lead to improved model architecture and training methods.

Where I come from, someone's palms have to be greased. As simple as that, and now with construction projects, the greasing is heavy.

The Bing UI has always been an eye-sore. Plus the output looks like what you'd get from any standard search engine.
