Writing Essays With AI: A Guide – Chain of Thought – Every

The first half of this article introduces the history of the slow acceptance of typewriters by society. When the typewriter first came out, people thought it was not as emotional as handwriting and was questioned, but the reality is that the typewriter eventually replaced handwriting. The author believes that AI will go through the same process and that AI will be popularized as a writing tool.

Then the author spent a lot of space introducing his experience of using AI to write. In this process, AI is a tool, and his thoughts are still his own.


【Podcast】30. Where are the unsold clothes? – Crazy Circle @ 2019
[Podcast] 55. From Zara to Shein: Two generations of fast fashion kings – Crazy Vote@2021年

These two episodes of Crazy Touquan have explained the fast fashion gameplay thoroughly. The focus is on the flexible supply chain and the frequency of new launches, all in order to avoid inventory and leftovers. There is no difference in the supply chain gameplay between Zara and Shein, but the difference in their front-end sales scenarios (one is offline direct sales, the other is online direct sales) makes the efficiency of the gameplay different. Shein is not limited by physical space online. With unlimited shelf space and better personalized display, it makes new products more efficient.

AI and the Meaning of Life: In-Depth Interview Notes with OpenAI Legendary Scientist Andrej Karpathy (Video Attached)
[Video] In-depth interview with OpenAI legendary AI scientist Andrej Karpathy: AI and the meaning of life

The video interview lasted 3.5 hours, and the first 30 minutes were a bit of a brainstorm. It was mentioned that human beings may be just an experiment of advanced civilization, which is actually quite a lot. However, Andrej Karpathy has further ideas: Maybe humans can find bugs in experiments (or bugs in physics in reality), such as whether there is an infinite energy supply. In the next 3 hours, it mainly focuses on AI topics, and some technical introductions are too professional.

Andrej Karpathy is the former head of automatic driving at Tesla (now working at OpenAI), and insists on the automatic driving system of the vision scheme. He mentioned that the introduction of radar and high-precision maps would only add unnecessary complexity, and that these things are “liabilities” rather than “assets” of the self-driving system.

The article mentions Rich Sutton’s article The Bitter Lesson , which was shared in issue 15 , and it is also used to explain that introducing tools such as radar into the vision solution is not the best practice in the long run.

Wu Xieyu’s mother murder case: before the final tragedy

The article collects a lot of interview materials, introducing Wu Xieyu’s growth, the background and history of both parents’ families. Regarding the line of mother Xie Tianqin and grandpa, this netizen’s comment is in place:

The grandfather experienced the pains of the times, Xie Tianqin was bound by her childhood and family all her life, and Wu Xieyu’s confusion and pain finally had nowhere to escape. The elegy of that era continues to ring today with a bang.

This article has a lot of controversy on the Internet, and I feel that it is whitewashing Wu Xieyu. In fact, the verdict on whether I am guilty or not (death penalty) has been given. This article provides more background of events for readers to understand things on a larger time scale. Human nature is complicated, and exposing these backgrounds does not necessarily mean whitewashing. Personally like this article very much.

Regarding the impact of AIGC on the content platform: In the past, personalized matching was done on stock content (manually produced), but now it is directly produced by personalized content.

With the AIGC shared in the 16th issue , we can discuss the Web 3 revolution – based on this point of view, Rainbow Line further elaborates on the combination with decentralization. The reason why current content platforms are becoming more and more centralized is because they are doing matching work. If they are fully personalized, they can be decentralized.

[Video] The Inner World of Procrastination People – NetEase Open Class – Tim Urban @ 2016

I have read some of Tim Urban’s articles, and I think they have a sense of humor. But this speech was amazing, and it was much more interesting than the article. Even, I kept laughing during the listening process and forgot what to say. (The humor seems a bit too much, haha)

How-To-Ask-Questions-The-Smart-Way GitHub

Regarding how to ask questions, the article is relatively long and mainly for programmers, but it is actually applicable to any field.

I think the most important are two points:

  • Before asking questions, I have searched various materials and conducted in-depth research.
  • When asking questions, explain clearly the background of the problem, the process that occurred, and the conclusion of your own research.

Minimalism


After getting used to it for a long time, it becomes a rule that binds people.


In Deng Xiaoping’s era, I saw such a sentence: “The 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1987 amended the Constitution to ensure that farmers enjoy the right to contract indefinitely.” Reminds me of an incident when I was a child: In order for me to study hard, my mother said that the land in the village was allotted, and you didn’t catch up. If you didn’t study, you didn’t even have to plant the land (I used my brother for comparison, because my brother caught up ). Now I found the historical basis, and my mother didn’t lie to me.
