In the mid 2000s I had a job building html marketing emails (legal "spam" basically). The main targets were enterprise tech managers. I quickly found out that we could double the click rate on the emails by including a plain text

Chomsky has been exposing this type of practice since the 70s. (and doing so based on sound logical arguments and documented evidence) Everyone should read his stuff, still as relevant today as it was 50 years ago.

This sparked a thought: Do you know about https://tvtropes.org ? Wouldn't it be cool to train a model to identify the underlying tropes of any fiction writing? Wait, is that what Netflix does with the micro-specific genres

Learning anything for me always follows this sort of structure (I'm sure someone will tell me there's some well known name for this because it seems so "self obvious"). Step0: Select the simplest achievable task in the d

Nassim Taleb, also makes many allusions to this in several of his books. Particularly jarring is the constant fixation that is going on in the news with Daily COVID-19 data. There is simply too much daily variation that has nothing to do wi

In the mid 2000s I spent years converting bitmap mockups into html table designs using Fireworks (using the slice->export workflow). My managers were perpetually in awe of how much faster I churned out the work when compared with the Pho

Given that Netflix has a vested interest in trying to pump out a high volume of content. Can this be a play to help comoditize the post-production costs associated?

I get where you are coming from. I also have some sort of colorblindness apparently (just found out!). I agree with you that there is no single correct way to "see" colors, and as such that does not require fixing. i.e. If the gla
