I guess I don’t see what is supposed to drive the S curve in biotechnology over the next 60 years. Advanced information technology is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for biotech mastery, and the other conditions are just not in p

Yes, you’re also right - that’s a good way to explain it.

There’s nothing macho about a conflict of this magnitude, it would be absolutely horrible. But we have to set clear expectations and unambiguous boundaries to avoid a dangerous miscalculation, not pretend we have contingency plans that don’

My first reaction to this plan is that it’s for the birds. The government would be better off just building a fab themselves. The raw materials aren’t that hard to get hold of; integrating consumer electronics into military systems would li

I’m not suggesting WFH is right for everyone; I think you should have the right to work the way you need to, as you know yourself and your work best. I personally feel you have nothing to fear in terms of numbers, because there’s an enormou

When will introverts realise that their working conditions are being dictated to them by extroverts? The pandemic-driven remote working is hell for some people, and unfortunately they call the shots. I don’t mind coming into your office n

Capitalism is perfectly compatible with Authoritarianism, Fascism, and worse. We cannot rely on the agents of Mammon to rid the world of authoritarianism. That is a hopelessly naive approach. They’re just not that interested, and they’re a

Where the mouse is now the size of a horse. Ultimately this is a classic case of security through obscurity, it won’t protect us from deep fakes long term.

That part doesn’t really need ML of any kind; ultimately unless a watermark is based on a rigorous and proven cryptographic scheme, it can be faked. They are apparently not doing anything like that, it’s just “hey, these photo sites are all

The first rule of hand wavy forensic pseudoscience club is that there are no rules, you just need to be able to bamboozle a jury.

It is not a shame. Memorialising the suicide of a famous figure on a banknote is a terrible idea, for obvious reasons. What happened to Alan Turing was an awful and ignorant evil, but this note is about celebrating his life and achievem

I didn't really comment on the relationship between the gold peg and inflation. What I was trying to say is pulling in disparate indicators like wage growth and national debt and blaming them on coming off the peg is wrong. What's

by hyko 6y ago
That's the thing though, there was plenty of inflation while on the "gold peg", e.g. 4.19% in 1968 alone. You could make the argument that central banks have done a better job of controlling inflation since making it a specif

The Cantillon Effects you describe have nothing to do with whether the government has reserves of gold or not, and incidentally are not the source of Jeff Bezos’ enormous wealth (the source of that wealth is a combination of luck, entrepren

If you absolutely have to resort to trial and error, at least don’t be the error. Natural Selection is as dumb as a box of rocks and slow as molasses; when it comes to achieving a goal we humans do far better, far faster. There’s obviousl

“The Single Responsibility Principle says that code should only do one thing” Except it doesn’t really say that. Without understanding the S, the OLID is bound to seem like mindless pedantry.
