What a brilliant, digestible primer on working with language models by @maggieappleton.com. Crying tears of joy over the straightforward language and slides. Here’s to squish, structure, and building tiny, sharp, specific tools!

My theory that limiting DMs will hurt engagement will be tested. I wonder if the inverse is also true — Would adding DMs help new social networks?

🧪 A fave study: Putting ants on stilts showed that they count steps to return to their nest in the featureless desert. Ants on stilts took the same # of steps (but longer strides) as normal ants, so overshot the nest 🐜 www.newscientist.com/article/dn9436…

Ants use pedometers to find home
An experiment that involves attaching stilts to ants' legs reveals that the insects somehow keep a record of how many steps they take

Show me another industry like tech / software engineering, where so many companies encourage employees to share *how* they operate (practices; often via blog posts & talks) and *what* they built (open sourcing). To share so much in public, in such an easy to access way.

The only hard and fast sheep/goat rule I’ve got is: tail up=goat Tail down=sheep Goats have short tails that they can fully erect, sheep are often born with long tails (usually these get docked) that hang down. But I bet you couldn’t find a tail just looking at the ass end of an Angora goat. 🐐🧪
