I love this - I’m finding as a “self-taught” engineer who did spend time reading studies as a student I’ve been better able to understand the latest in AI developments from the source in a way that I’m grateful I had that skill.
But like Jon, I have to print them out and mark them up bc this is an active sort of reading that all of us do rarely these days.
It’s a slog but after the first couple you get the hang of it and it’s pretty fun to learn the science from the source.

Wow. Just wow. Must read.
"It starts out small, almost bureaucratic in its modesty: paying attention. Learning the emotional thermostat of a room and making tiny, near-invisible adjustments. Discovering, not without a flicker of pride, which version of yourself keeps the machinery humming.
At first it feels like closeness, like competence. Like maybe you’ve finally learned something useful.
Women learn to wait ahead of things so others need not wait at all. They learn the measure of a voice, the weight of a silence, the cost of letting trouble arrive unsoftened. For this they are praised, rewarded, and assumed to be untroubled.
And they allow themselves to be misread because telling the truth would demand more strength than they have left. Marriage asks little at any one moment, only a domestic spoonful at a time, so small it feels unworthy of refusal. It is only in looking back that a woman sees how much has been taken. It’s like realizing the system kept running because you were the battery, and no one ever thought to recharge it or bring a spare."
