I’ve also found generating exercises from text to be particularly useful, even to just make you think more about what you’re reading. Also found this useful when learning new tools, e.g. generating a load of einsum / einops exercises which didn’t even require pasting in any additional text. Using it to summarize code sounds interesting and not something I’ve tried before.
I wonder if something like this could somehow be combined with Anki to generate randomized questions? One of the issues I’ve had when using spaced repetition for learning coding is that I often end up remembering the exact answer to questions, when really what I want to do is learn when and where to use tools to solve varied problems. I wonder if using LLMs to randomize the questions could mitigate that a bit?
For what it’s worth, most modern fusion bombs actually generate most (e.g. 80%+) of their “yield” from fission—the fusion stage is surrounded by a layer of uranium which is bombarded by neutrons produced in the fusion reaction, causing fission in the uranium and magnifying the yield. So they are pretty dirty weapons. They are at least smaller than the weapons from the 50s and 60s though.
