Knowledge distillation: A good teacher is patient and consistent
Using DNA to predict intelligence. In 10 years, the ability to predict intelligence from DNA has gone from 0% to 10%. Genome-wide polygenic scores (GPS) are transforming research on intelligence. GPS will transport intelligence to many new areas of science. The availability of GPS at birth, prenatally, and before conception will impact society. We need to maximize benefits and minimize risks of DNA prediction of intelligence.

This past week, I've been testing a new tool called shelf.so 📒
This is a 2-hour session where I am exploring this project. I am also taking notes during the process. Shelf is a tool that allows you to save, organize and annotate books, online courses, tweets, podcasts, and much more.
My goal was to figure out if this can be a suitable replacement for my trusty Notion Web Clipper or even Evernote Web Clipper.
I am allowing myself time to explore. I've been 'watching’ a lot of study with me streams lately. Quite a nice, interesting concept. There's more to it than meets the eye! Remember, simplification is hard, even though the end product seems easy to create/replicate.
I'm trying to do the same here. A lot of components. The lightning, the camera angle, the screen, the aesthetics. I'm still learning. Hopefully, you are going to see more of this.
My screen is not relevant for now. I've been simply experimenting with this type of content. It can be hard to simplify. Enjoy some LoFi Hip-Hope Mellow beats along with some study with me type of vibes, although I am not studying in the traditional sense. But what is studying anyway? I am also learning and trying to refine my sense of aesthetics. Enjoy!
