In other words, he's parroting articles that have appeared recently in the WSJ, Forbes and other mags. Clever guy.

I found the article interesting. However, the title of the article contains the weasel word "may". I've come to a practice that whenever I see the words may, could, might, etc. in the title of an article, I automatically inve

I hope not to come across as condescending, but in normal usage a demand issue is one in which there's not enough demand (think: the global financial crisis in 2008/9). When there is too much demand and not enough supply as clearl

Bold statement with no evidence. I can assure you that they're well used in Boston/Cambridge/Somerville during the winter months as well as summer.

Sounds almost recursive.

Totally agree. Allen Downey's work is an under appreciated treasure.

The way you phrased it, yes. But, that isn't what the report was saying. It was using a generalized criteria of disadvantaged meaning low income or non-english speaking. Race based criteria can't be considered, but income can whic

This makes me think of similar questions 30 or so years ago: Are you seeing the internet used in places where it shouldn't be? If AI is being used in places it shouldn't be, then presumably after a little (or lot) of money has bee

That's probably a good policy, but it isn't good English. Any formulation of X has Y characteristic where X is a group implies all members of the group unless the "some" is explicit. It's a total clickbait headline,

Ha! For those of us who were in the Morgan Stanley Fixed Income group for many years in the 1990s and 2000s AW is known for APLus which was used extensively for modeling and application work.

I charged my Tesla on US 110 volts for several years just plugging into an outlet. Overnight, it got me plenty of charge for a normal day of driving. You're building a case based on faulty assumptions.

In most countries where EV adoption is progressing you can count on a turnover of electric power generation from fossil to non-fossil sources. As that happens, EVs become greener and greener. Gas cars are still going to be gas cars.

I had thought of him as megalomaniac, but I recently heard him do a two hour podcast on the Joe Walker Podcast (formerly Jolly Swagman). He came off as relatively normal for someone who earned a Ph.D. in particle physics from Caltech at the

Only if you forget to notice that the bottom 20% in the US lives better than the majority of the rest of the world.

And the best part is how reliable and timely the trains and buses are. As a foreigner living there I commuted by bus into Geneva from a suburb. I don't think my bus was ever more than 1 minute late - and this was in the middle of its r

I've found that making tomato sauces from raw ingredients is a really simple and much better than most store bought which, as you say, usually have a lot of sugar added.

I quit eating sugar 4 years ago. No specific health problems, but having seen a couple of similar articles I thought it would be a good idea. When I got my first checkup about a year after stopping, my numbers had all improved drastically w

Which of her books do you recommend for the relatively experienced home cook who's done a little bit of imitation Chinese cooking?

I disagree also, but for a different reason. People are justifiably put off by the lack of decent charging infrastructure in the U.S. for all but Tesla. Lot's of people want a car that is their daily driver that can also drive the kids

Reinforcement learning is not LLM. It's the technology that is used in industrial applications (walking, acting robots, etc) and game playing (e.g. AlphaGo to play Go, AlphaChess, etc.)

Is this opinion based on experience or speculation? I had a house with garage and it was nice, but I moved to an apt with street parking. I had feared it would be a pain, and I'd be lying if I said it was as convenient, but it really h

To clarify, except at American companies (in Europe), pay for developers (in Europe) was abysmal compared to pay for developers in the U.S. (irrespective of ownership).

Right. This is an aspect I'd forgotten about. When I first arrived, the developers thought is was really weird for me to not only sit in, but have some pretty strong opinions about the subjects under discussion. They got used to it pre
