I agree with you. The early web was full of amazing opportunities but had trouble monetizing things. Cryptocurrency is the opposite, it tries to monetize everything but doesn't have practical uses.

This is the correct answer. I work at a company that sends millions of emails every week from our self-hosted IP range. If you have a high quality list of recipients who actually want to hear from you and warm up your IPs gradually, you can

I agree with you. Outlook gives me the option to classify an email as either spam or phishing. Newsletter I didn't ask to receive? Spam. Newsletter I signed up for but am tired of getting? Unsubscribe. Little Jessica is 4 and dying of

DOD has a bunch of PR teams. If a commander wants a photo from a mission and said photo passes review, it can be released. Check out some of the Air Force's excellent public photos here: https://www.af.mil/News/Pho

Wouldn't there also be a benefit from knowing, for example, that there's a bunch of encrypted radio chatter on a military frequency coming from a rural Montana town with a population of 500? Even without knowing anything that&#x27

Good question. The answer is no for three primary reasons. First, the JWST isn't designed for observing Earth, so its equipment isn't optimized for that purpose. Second, spy sats are already at the limits of what physics will allo

Copyright lasts much longer than necessary to incentivize creators. The last Civil War veteran died in 1956. Imagine he had written a memoir of his wartime experience and that current copyright laws had always been in effect. That means a b

I feel the exact same way, I run a data science team from my basement. At 4:30, I walk to my daughter's daycare and we play together in the time that I used to spend commuting. I never want to go back to an office.

I'm a huge supporter of this model. I used to think I was terrible at math. Once Khan Academy and other online resources were available, it all started to click for me. Turns out my problem was that I could never keep up with the lectu

It's shortsighted for other reasons as well. On Android, you had to have notifications enabled in order to buy through Amazon Smile. Being able to deliver ads via push notification is a useful way to increase sales. I guess they weren&

You might also be interested in the story of UA 232. They lost all controls and somehow used engine thrust to keep the plane airborne. They called the Maintenance department for advice and were basically asked where they were going to crash

I don't know much about commercial real estate, so I checked LoopNet for my area. If you're not picky about the neighborhood, I'm surprised how cheaply you can get a garage-sized space.

I see the GPT family of models as infrastructure, not a finished product. As the blog post describes, they can be a piece of a pipeline. For example, GPTs don't know about the high school football game that just ended, and you're

I strongly recommend the books Cooking for Geeks and The Food Lab. In both books, the authors explore a variety of different approaches and show their math.

I have the same tendency. In Outlook, I use CTRL-Enter to send my emails but I haven't turned off the confirmation dialog. It's a weird mental hack, but I hit CTRL-Enter to "send" the email then realize that I made a mis

I'd forgotten about those mini-CDs. Part of the unboxing process was making sure you didn't scratch the driver disk.

I've read a lot about the Theranos situation, and it sounds like CVS might be the "survivor" in this case. There are a few references to CVS in Bad Blood and other reports, but CVS wisely didn't say much about what cause

Well said. I work from home, yet I still live in Washington DC. The downtown gradually becoming more fun and livable is a good thing, despite the pain and financial loss that'll happen over the next decade to get there.

This is a good point. Downtowns might easily move from drab office parks to unaffordable places for rich people.

Reading this book is a terrific way to spend an afternoon. Every chapter has a lesson that's directly applicable today, despite its age.

This is an important point. I used to work in adtech. It's amazing how terrible the modeling is in that space. You can generate a model that identifies a given target audience and simply assert that it works without any real validation

You wouldn't even need the model to be trained in real time. I'd love to see OpenAI buy Wolfram Research. WolframAlpha has managed to integrate tons of external data into a natural language interface. ChatGPT already knows when to

I'm having the same problem. The "As a large language model" one is interesting. For example, I can ask for the meaning of a given medical billing code, but I get the error if I submit a medical condition and ask for the bill

I'm currently potty training my toddler and I completely agree with you! I also suggest How to Talk so Little Kids will Listen. That book improved my ability to empathize with both little and big people.

I'm shocked at how many articles about the FTX collapse still refer to SBF as some sort of philanthropist. You don't need to call him a scammer, but could you at least stop pretending he's a net positive on the world?

In many cases, yes. But what baffles me is the terrible coverage of the crypto world, even from serious journalists. Stories like the Mango Markets exploit would get plenty of clicks and wouldn't take that long to write ("9-figure

Exactly. People keep referring to FTX as a Ponzi. It's even worse than that.

I spend a lot of time working with physician data. In the USA, physicians have a registration system called NPI. Apparently, NPI numbers are in the same format as some passport numbers. I know this because I started getting angry warnings a
