Building learning artefacts is under appreciated.

Inthink this was always the best way to learn. But it used to require immense work for a teacher.

My compiler course is a great example - program in plug in a stage of a compiler.

These exercises can be made on demand and incredibly easy now.

i've asked llms to write a presentation for me on a given topic. for whatever reason, that finds the hidden layer responsible for explaining things well.

Too over engineered, few text paragraphs would suffice to understand the topic.

The biggest win for AI dev efficiency is cutting down what gets loaded into context. Semantically matching tasks to the top tools helps a lot.

Is there a way we could turn this into a reusable skill?

That seems like a terrible way to learn. It’s a neat animation but cmon, there’s like educational TV programs from the 80s that explain this so well, in Germany there’s “Sendung mit der Maus”, not sure if they have a segment on chip manufacturing. But in these clips you can at least see the real stuff instead of some half wrong animation, just let the LLM write a few paragraphs for you or better find an ACM article or book on the subject, probably still takes less time than coming up with that animation…

God does everything have to be productized and glorified as if you’ve invented a new way of learning. Read some books!

The self importance this author has is sickening. No wonder he's chronically talking to chatbots.
