AI’s big rift is like a religious schism

I remember learning about ‘jerk’ in undergrad and my still jr high brain thinking, ‘haha, no way that is what it is called.’

The more I thought about it though, the more I realized it was the perfect name. It is definitely what you feel when the acceleration changes!

Same goes for productivity and jerks. Quickly speeding up or slowing down literally requires a jerk, and many wont like it regardless how you do it. You can go fast without jerks, but you can't react fast without jerks.

"Jerk" makes perfect sense to me too. What I never got was how "pop" could come after "crackle".

Because of Rice Krispies?

No, because a "pop" seems lower frequency to me than a crackle. Not that I can articulate why :-D

zoky is making the point that the derivatives are named snap, crackle, and pop, in reference to Rice Krispies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap,_Crackle_and_Pop
