In the middle of the desert you can say anything you want
At the age of 20, Christopher Knight parked his car on a remote trail
in Maine and walked away with only the most basic supplies. He had no
plan. His chief motivation was to avoid contact with people. This is his
story
And once, when he was in an especially introspective mood, Knight
seemed willing, despite his typical aversion to dispensing wisdom, to
share more of what he gleaned while alone. Was there, the journalist
asked him, some grand insight revealed to him in the wild?
Knight sat quietly but he eventually arrived at a reply.
“Get enough sleep,” he said.
Yes, it is valid. Only the first ? in a
URL has significance, any after it are treated as literal
question marks:
The query component is indicated by the first question mark ("?")
character and terminated by a number sign ("#") character or by the end
of the URI.
Here are a few small steps you can take toward a less complacent life. Pick 3! Social Dynamism Get off of social media for a month. Don’t even announce that you’re doing it. Just do it. Have a civil conversation with someone you typically disagree with on social or political issues. Take the time to figure out what drives them and where their ideas come from. (If you’re single) Ask out a stranger in real life. In case we’ve all forgotten how to do this, walk up to someone at a bar, start a conversation, and go from there. Delete the four most frequently used apps from your phone for a week. Stop listening to music or podcasts while you’re in public and interact with your physical surroundings. Go to lunch with someone in your office from a different department. Go to the movie theater, without looking in advance, and choose a movie that you wouldn’t normally see. Explore a music genre you are not familiar with until you find three songs you really like. Talk to your Uber driver… about something other than Uber. (Bonus) Grocery shop exclusively at a specialty grocery store for a month, such as an Asian food market. Intellectual Dynamism Write an article defending the opposite political view of what you believe. Try to be as convincing as possible! Take an online or evening class that has nothing to do with your career or existing talents. Next time you get upset about a political or social injustice, do something about it. Volunteer, protest, or donate to a cause. Use Google in funny ways. Be creative about what that means. Identify the quirkiest thing about yourself and double down on that trait. Find similarly eccentric people in person or online. Think of a product or service that should exist but doesn’t. Share ideas with friends and family at a minimum and get feedback. Imagine your dream job. Look for it. Apply for it even if you think you aren’t qualified. What’s the worst that could happen? Schedule a conversation with your boss about your future and new opportunities. If you aren’t getting what you think you have earned, ask for it. Judge a book by its cover: use tinder for books or go to a bookstore and pick a book based solely on its cover. Make a decision based on a coin flip. Physical Dynamism Stop using yelp or other go-to restaurant review sites for a month. For that matter, avoid eating at chain restaurants for a month. Start a savings account so you can one day buy or rent the home of your dreams. Or at least have enough money to couch-surf all over the world. Stop using delivery-service apps of all shapes and sizes for a month. Try to get to a location 20 or more min away (as the car drives) without your GPS. Leave your phone at home once a week. Pick a city 50-ish miles away from you. Take a day trip. Park in the middle of town and explore. Make time to travel to new places outside of your comfort zone (Bonus) Pick a city that you’ve never lived in that interests you and apply for a job there
An AI playing a video game learned to navigate via the stars in the
sky! Unexpected behaviour makes it hard to know *why* an action
occurs.
In the early part of the 21st century, researchers found a novel way to
manipulate basic neural networks to cause them to incorrectly identify
images.
Just like humans, AI can be brainwashed. Awaking to do our bidding on
command.
Excellent short story set in the future about manipulating AIs
Standartized tests test mostly IQ, school grades are much more dependent on personality
> The most important process underlying strokes of creative genius is cognitive disinhibition—the tendency to pay attention to things that normally should be ignored or filtered out by attention because they appear irrelevant.1 Cognitive disinhibition is correlated w/ psychopathology > Exceptional ‘‘‘intelligence alone yields ‘‘‘useful but unoriginal and unsurprising ideas. > the creative geniuses enjoy the asset of superior general intelligence. This intelligence introduces the necessary ‘‘‘cognitive control ‘‘‘that enables the person to separate the wheat from the chaff. > ertain events […] in childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood enhance a person’s creative potential. These diversifying experiences include multicultural exposure, bilingualism, and various forms of developmental adversity, such as parental loss, economic hardship, and minority status. Creative geniuses who grew up in such environments will actually be less likely to display traits or symptoms of psychopathology!

the content of the course is usually presented in whole or in part by the students themselves. Instead of using a textbook, the students are given a list of definitions and theorems which they are to prove and present in class, leading them through the subject material If a student had already studied topology elsewhere or had read too much, he would exclude him. He would usually caution the group not to read topology but simply to use their own ability. Plainly he wanted the competition to be as fair as possible, for competition was one of the driving forces. […] After stating the axioms and giving motivating examples to illustrate their meaning he would then state some definitions and theorems. He simply read them from his book as the students copied them down. He would then instruct the class to find proofs of their own and also to construct examples to show that the hypotheses of the theorems could not be weakened, omitted, or partially omitted. When the class returned for the next meeting he would call on some student to prove Theorem 1. After he became familiar with the abilities of the class members, he would call on them in reverse order and in this way give the more unsuccessful students first chance when they did get a proof. When a student stated that he could prove Theorem x, he was asked to go to the blackboard and present his proof. Then the other students, especially those who had not been able to discover a proof, would make sure that the proof presented was correct and convincing. When a flaw appeared in a ‘proof’ everyone would patiently wait for the student at the board to ‘patch it up.’ If he could not, he would sit down. Moore would then ask the next student to try The students were forbidden to read any book or article about the subject. They were even forbidden to talk about it outside of class. Hersh and John-Steiner claim that, “this method is reminiscent of a well-known, old method of teaching swimming called ‘sink or swim’ “.
