@brian_gettler@mas.toVery Smart People™ are often not very smart at all about many (most?) things.
@marcel@waldvogel.familyApparently some universities have started using mostly-AI tought courses. And are surprised students don't apprrciate them fully:
“There are some useful things in the presentation. But it’s like, 5% is useful nuggets, and a lot is repetition. There is some gold in the bottom of this pan. But presumably we could get the gold ourselves, by asking ChatGPT.”
@a@paperbay.org« J’ai toujours adoré ce mot de Jaurès : « On n’enseigne pas ce que l’on sait, on enseigne ce que l’on est. » On enseigne ce que son corps éprouve face Š un poème, un roman, on le transmet par l’émotion vibratoire qui reste en nous après la lecture et que les « bons » professeurs ont cette faculté de restituer. Ils ne te confient pas un savoir dans un sac, ils te communiquent leur propre vibration face Š ce qui les a touchés. C’est ça, « enseigner ce qu’on est ». »
@ethanwhite@hachyderm.io"A package’s value isn’t primarily its implementation code. Anyone can rewrite curl in Rust in a weekend, as Daniel Stenberg has heard many times. What they can’t rewrite is the twenty years of bug reports, the weird edge cases someone hit in production and took the time to fix, the arguments in issue threads that eventually settled on the right behavior. That knowledge is spread across the package’s history and it grew organically. No prompt captures it."
