What is the argument for it being the only path? We have a pretty poor understanding of how the human brain (our only "Strong AI" evidence) learns, but the one approach that has been pretty definitively ruled out is large-scale ba

No need for conjecture — Steve Jobs said as much multiple times (e.g. "Getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.") One of the unintended consequences for Jobs was working with Ed Catmull at P

I disagree strongly on this point. Building up a two-sided marketplace is incredibly difficult. On the consumer side, consider that many younger travelers have zero affinity towards hotel chains, and manage their entire accommodations arran

And on a city level, the history of San Francisco itself is filled with spectacular boom times followed by spectacular bust times. For me, a perspective shift was reading Season of the Witch by David Talbot, chronicling the boom/bust o

If the first person doesn’t add their number, then the 3rd person has the same “visibility” into the second person’s number, based on the minimum rand. The solution can be to include negative numbers in the RNG range, or keep the RNG range

The Dream Machine is a fantastic and thorough history of the early days of computing, woven together as a partial autobiography of J. C. R. Licklider, though the scope of the book is substantially grander. It’s a long read, and I opted to d

SF Central subway cuts through one of the densest parts of SF (including crossing a BART line and an existing MUNI line), which substantially increases costs. Further away from the downtown core, costs per mile should be lower.
