Hmmm something has changed on Google Play Books ... I can no longer download the books I've purchased.
#GooglePlay #EBooks

See another example of #AI making #Google #Search worse:
Tesla has not reported second quarter earnings. That second quarter only ended yesterday, it takes weeks to do the books.

Ich muss täglich mindestens ein Zitat prüfen. Manchmal sind es auch 25. Die Methoden hierfür sind vielfältig, aber oft lande ich doch bei books von google, um seriösen Quellen zu finden (und nicht "berühmte Zitate" ;-). Gibt es dazu Alternativen? Außer die etwa 40 Gigabyte eigene Textsammlung?

One of the reasons I value email is for the ability to store what’s been said at a point in time and refer back to it knowing it will not change, kind of like, books or letters.

Very excited about this! Code to access GRIN will help lots of Google Books partners, and the example might open other doors, as well as the obvious benefits of access to data!

Large language models (LLMs) use data to learn about the world in order to produce meaningful correlations and predictions. As such, the nature, scale, quality, and diversity of the datasets used to train these models, or to support their work at inference time, have a direct impact on their quality. The rapid development and adoption of LLMs of varying quality has brought into focus the scarcity of publicly available, high-quality training data and revealed an urgent need to ground the steward…

"I don't want to talk about those things. I see the worst in people, Henry. I don't need to look past seeing them to get all I need. I've built up my hatreds over the years, little by little... I can't keep doing this on my own... with these, umm... people."

Physics education research: Resources for middle school science teachers
This resource letter intends to provide middle school science teachers with a collection of resources to aid them in planning and implementing a physical science curriculum. The resources are in the form of books, websites, journals, and organizations.

Sunday reading. A long-form essay on the Rise and Fall of the Author. I won't hide the link today so it'll be shadow-banned across social media. Well, what else is new? Except that this should either be a book or heavily edited down. So it goes.

Physics education research: Resources for graduate student instructors
This resource letter intends to provide physics instructors - particularly graduate student teaching assistants - at the introductory university level with a small but representative collection of resources to acquire a familiarity with research in physics education for guidance in everyday instruction. The resources are in the form of books, articles, websites, journals, and organizations.
