Disciples make disciples. That’s one generation. When a disciple makes a disciple who makes a disciple, that’s two generations. By the time you reach the third or fourth generation, the disciples may not know the name of the original disciple in the chain. Churches generate new churches. That’s one generation. When disciples who are part of one church make disciples who establish another church, and disciples from the second church make disciples who become yet another church, that’s two generations. This is how movement happens. This is how disciples and churches multiply into neighboring tribes and countries as the Spirit moves.
NOTE: All generations counted are NEW believers and new groups/churches, not EXISTING believers and churches.Existing believers/churches are labeled Gen 0 indicating that they are the baseline generation from which we arelaunching.
The most interesting visual AI tools today have stopped trying to generate the final output. Instead, they're generating the source code behind it.

Veo Generate cinematic video with audio
The specification of 'cinematic' video generation implies a deep, model-inherent understanding of professional filmmaking principles like shot composition, pacing, and narrative structure. This goes beyond simple video creation into the realm of professional content production.
So there are two things here to help us deal with this kind of mismatch. One is that the training objective for the Scientist AI is basically about coming up with explanations — so assigning probabilities to statements that are latent, that we don't observe, that are good at explaining the data we do observe.
这一观点指出了科学家AI的训练目标是通过解释来处理数据不匹配问题，为未知陈述分配概率，这是实现诚实预测的核心机制。
Wilson Lin at Cursor coordinated hundreds of GPT-5.2 agents to build a web browser from scratch, running uninterrupted for one week. Over a million lines of Rust.
这个案例展示了AI系统的惊人规模和产出能力，协调数百个AI agent，一周内生成超过一百万行代码。然而，'远未达到生产质量'的评估也揭示了当前AI系统在复杂项目中的局限性，特别是在代码质量和系统架构方面。
The next generation of benchmarks needs to be harder, more realistic, and less gameable
【洞察】「更难、更真实、更不可刷题」——这三条标准本质上是在要求 benchmark 向「真实工作」靠拢，而非向「考试题」收敛。但这恰恰引出了一个悖论：越真实的 benchmark，越难自动化评分，越贵（METR 每题 8000 美元），越慢发布。AI 评测体系正在面临「评测速度 vs 评测质量」的根本性权衡。
The general idea was that a model should be able to take in a natural language query as an initial input, reason over existing data systems, and generate corresponding SQL code in traditional business intelligence (BI) fashion to pull the right data and answer the initial question accordingly.
这一描述揭示了早期数据代理的简化假设：将问题简化为自然语言到SQL的转换。这挑战了仅通过改进模型性能就能解决所有数据推理问题的乐观预期，强调了业务语义理解的重要性。
对视频生成来说，这种文字密集、变化快、带闪烁、又几乎没有自然动态的场景，本来就是最难的一类。

We present SoundStorm, a model for efficient, non-autoregressive audio generation. SoundStorm receives as input the semantic tokens of AudioLM, and relies on bidirectional attention and confidence-based parallel decoding to generate the tokens of a neural audio codec. Compared to the autoregressive generation approach of AudioLM, our model produces audio of the same quality and with higher consistency in voice and acoustic conditions, while being two orders of magnitude faster. SoundStorm generates 30 seconds of audio in 0.5 seconds on a TPU-v4. We demonstrate the ability of our model to scale audio generation to longer sequences by synthesizing high-quality, natural dialogue segments, given a transcript annotated with speaker turns and a short prompt with the speakers' voices.

Evidence [28] and theory [29] support the assertion that cultural evolution is more rapid than genetic evolution [27,28,30,31], even when measured on comparable scales [30,31]. One simple reason for this difference is that the ‘generation time’, G, of cultural transmission can be orders of magnitude shorter than that of genetic transmission [30]. In humans, the average time between the birth of parents and the birth of their offspring, genetic G, ranges from roughly 2 to 3 decades, while cultural G, the average time between learning a piece of information and transmitting it, ranges from seconds to decades. Thus, it is reasonable to presume that cultural inheritance may provide greater adaptive capacity than genetic inheritance.
!- definition : Generation time - generation time of genetic transmission in range of 2 to 3 decades while for cultural transmission can vary from seconds to decades.

* This is called “detachment gain,” as explained in The Detachment Gain: TheAdvantage of Thinking Out Loud by Daniel Reisberg, and refers to the“functional advantage to putting thoughts into externalized forms” such asspeaking or writing, leading to the “possibility of new discoveries that might nothave been obtained in any other fashion.” If you’ve ever had to write out aword to remember how it’s spelled, you’ve experienced this
Each word you write triggers mental cascades and internal associations, leading to further ideas, all of which can come tumbling out onto the page or screen.*
Did he pull this from Reisberg originally or from Annie Murphy Paul who he's quoted before?
This concept is an incredibly powerful one and definitely worthy of underlining in a book about thinking and note taking. It's rather sad that he hides the entire concept in the footnotes where the majority of the audience he's trying to reach will completely miss it.
tie this into Feynman technique and generation effect
First, you are much more likely to remember information you’vewritten down in your own words. Known as the “Generation Effect,”10researchers have found that when people actively generate a seriesof words, such as by speaking or writing, more parts of their brainare activated when compared to simply reading the same words.Writing things down is a way of “rehearsing” those ideas, likepracticing a dance routine or shooting hoops, which makes them farmore likely to stick.

view generation
Younger consumers have become information hunters and gatherers, taking pleasure in tracking down character backgrounds and plot points and making connections between different texts within the same franchise
This is actually a really good point about the apparent new phenomenon with our generation. The previous generation wasn't really interested in the background(s) of the characters, writers etc and how it tied in to other mediums or other shows in terms of similarities with plots etc. Nowadays, with the wide open access to info on the internet, fandoms have blossomed.
a two-generation approach to outcomes by linking data on individuals within a family or household unit.
The Third-Generation normalized the process of dialogue. Bar-On and his team developed a paradigm for how to work through the Holocaust through knowledge, understanding, emotions, attitude, and behavior. What they discovered is that for the Third-Generation, the Holocaust either has no relevance, which they call “under generalization” or “over generalization,” where everything is seen through the prism of the Holocaust. A more normalized reaction to a Shoah family background is the “partial relevance,” an “in-between” and more balanced perspective.
The Third-Generation in America (or “3Gs,” as they are known) have only recently started to become a visible group, but not with the same intensity as the Second-Generation. Age-wise, they span the gamut from newborns to forty-year-olds. Among them, those in their twenties and thirties are grappling with identity formation, with establishing intimate relations, and with having children.
From the psychological research the only significant finding is that grandchildren of survivors as a group, are higher achievers than their peers. In 2002 Ellisa Ganz found that Third-Generation individuals are twice as likely to choose an occupation in the helping professions. Ganz also found, however, that those 3Gs who are in therapy are in treatment for longer periods than a comparative group.
Yoslow observed that the Third-Generation has a deep affection for humanity, which is a transformation of the post-Holocaust trauma. This process is the ability to transform the emotional effects of the Holocaust by letting go, and thus increases the quest for meaning in ones life and concern for social issues.
Today, Third-Generation individuals whose professional lives have been shaped by their grandparent’s ordeals are found in the creative arts, in helping professions, human rights work and in Jewish studies and communal work. The Third-Generation members are no different from those in the Second-Generation, who gravitated towards the creative arts in order to remember the barbarity committed against the Jews living in German-occupied countries and , the Jewish life that was destroyed, and to raise consciousness about present-day racism, human-rights violations, and genocides.
Flora Hogman conducted a case study of Second and Third-Generation, and in her sample of the grandchildren of Holocaust survivors she noticed that they feel a sense of pride and awe of the survivors. This awareness of the suffering is part of the fabric of their lives, but is channeled into empathy, political activism, greater consciousness of others suffering, and a reluctance to intermarry.

the kids are all right
Given danah's age, I would suspect that with a copyright date of 2014, she's likely referencing the 2010 feature film The Kids are Alright.
However that film's title is a cultural reference to a prior generation's anthem in an eponymous song) by The Who which appeared on the album My Generation. Interestingly the lyrics of the song of the same name on that album is one of their best known and is applicable to the ideas behind this piece as well.
