Information processing as basis for human existence is not an analogy once you accept a very basic premise of what information is. It is the literal description of what is going on, even on the biological level. I've mentioned DNA, the

I agree with you that humans are very different from optimization machines in that they have some freedom in what they choose to optimize. Alan Newell made this point a long time ago, back then attempts were made to describe humans in terms

I use piping in combination with data.table all the time. It works simply like this: my_dt %>% .[i, j, by] It's a powerful combination. Fast, very readable, extremely versatile.

Not OP. Your idea of "you can work at it if you really want it" is plainly wrong. We here on HN are a crowd from over the world. You have no idea of the specific circumstances people are living in, the type of dating culture they

You missed my point. Which is: If and only if the energy production for the EVs will be done through renewable sources, this grand plan works. But in Germany (where I live), we are experiencing huge problems with this approach. The main iss

No, why should it? First, apparently they mean they will offer an "electrified version", additionally to the combustion engine models. Second, electrified can mean a hybrid, which still has a combustion engine.
