"Synthetic Panels" make no sense. The LLM is trained on data from a particular point in time. This is the same as querying the distribution of responses from an LLM with built-in assumptions about what the distribution can look like.
Well done surveys are designed for the opposite.

Did you know that from tomorrow, Qualtrics is offering synthetic panels (AI-generated participants)?
Follow me down a rabbit hole I'm calling "doing science is tough and I'm so busy, can't we just make up participants?"

The ultimate point of this is that simple technical definitions are easy if you don't know what you're talking about and elusive if you do.
As technologists, we need to acknowledge the nuance and context of a the discussions, and not get bogged down in bickering over vocabulary.

I was informed that SW’ers tended to settle with finance bros, so I figured I’d see what kind of bait that might look like.

Okay, clearly I need to GPT this summary before I see you next week. ;)
What does it mean to "read for pleasure", and what does it mean that that's declining?
I appreciate Mathew Ingram's pretty balanced take in his newsletter: torment-nexus.mathewingram.com/so-whats-so-...
...and I expect that amidst all of the noise, we are finding new places and ways to read.

#teenageengineering TX-6 mixer at 1.3.0 only records to disk as a mixdown from the master stereo bus from the individual 6 stereo channels. Hoping for per-channel recording in a future release so one can rearrange the stems on the go without using a laptop.
Nice tho.

Friends: How do you stay up with friend groups when you announce parties, have news to share, stuff to give away questions, or want to collaboratively organize stuff with your circle of people (assuming you have a circle of friends ~50). Advice welcome.

Today I spent 20 minutes teaching my radiation oncologist how to use an LLM to analyze contemporary clinical research and cross-check it with another, different LLM. This is concerning, because the science of oncology is advancing rapidly and every month matters to patients' quality of life.
