Email? His site-wide byline is a mailto.
- gwern 15y agoYes, so I can email him and hope he will update or edit or admit he's wrong, and also accept that by the time he does so most readers will be gone - rather than post a public comment he would specifically have to censor, and my correction be visible in time for most readers to see if they care to. I hope you can see why I would regard one alternative as way better than the other.
- gwern 15y agoProving my point: a day later, with the comment on both Hacker News & Reddit, his incorrect claim remains. In fact, as far as I can tell, he has not edited it at all. Why, again, would I prefer to email him?
