Finland (if that's who we're talking about) GDP per capita is nearly $20k behind USA (Sweden's only $10k behind). They're not so much wealthy as they have a different distribution curve.

Disagree - I think computer tech is notable for its absence if you read the book carefully. From memory there's the "megabytes of RAM" throwaway, a paragraph-long description of the Ono-Sendai deck, and not much else. I think

I just learned a new term ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_validity ). Cool. I know from UX studies that eye-tracking gives a completely different heat map than click-tracking on the same web page and task (bec

The male BYU students in the study are performing masculinity. They're claiming to look straight ahead, turning neither to the right nor to the left, because they think that's what Real Men do. (This is a dumb hypothesis. But th

Video would seem to be an improvement over still images. If we're fleshing it out, I think a wider array of college students (BYU may have its own issues) and adding some "neutral" spaces to the test might yield more informat

Use eye-tracking instead. Gets closer to what people do, rather than what they claim they do. You know that thing where >95% of people claim to be above-average drivers? I'd like to rule that out. Once again, because I think my comm

They didn't track where people looked. They tracked where people clicked - in other words, where they said they looked. I believe the result, but I don't believe the study.

Abbott died 1977, and has a wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Abbott_(GC) That's the most complete description of the rescue I can find, and is backed up by other sources. I haven't linked.

I think it's wrong. Although I'm starting to doubt myself. "Horsea Island at the time was a long-range radio transmission station with four 446-foot tall masts, made from huge timbers, spread around the area." - https

Idle question: what's the complement of the model? The GPUs? By that logic, the hardware companies will be your best bet for open model development. (Everything old is new again).

There's an argument that privacy (more accurately anonymity) is a temporary phenomenon, a consequence of the scale that comes with industrialization. We didn't really have it in small villages, and we won't really have it in

I think it used to be, and it's getting less so over time. The culture probably dilutes as it expands. Think about the stories you hear about the early days of Silicon Valley or game development. The characters. Then try to imagine how

I cultivated a "mad professor" reputation. It's easier to get away with in our industry than most. It was only much later I found out why I was doing that, of course.
