The startup culture celebrates an even lower bar, "not viable but appears to be minimum viable". Think of the fireside stories about launching e.g. an AI image recognizer, while secretly using humans to do the recognition.

If you’re going to play MTG as a simple game theory optimal affair, might as well switch to poker… a Nash equilibrium surely exists all the same, but charm of the game is in the variety and checks & balances.

I think many of the changes actually were predicted. What seems to have been the most unexpected was how it would monetize and where market power would gather. Online banking is great, and people knew it was coming since the dawn of the int

Nobody anchors with age. One parent will advocate for allowing children to watch Scarface, without mentioning their child is 17. Another parent will explain The Neverending Story is far too scary, without mentioning their child just turned

there are fewer and fewer models with 8" beds That’s more a function of crew cabs and using a pickup as a family vehicle. The bed has to shorten as the cab lengthens, else the truck gets unmanageablely long.

I think this is the uncomfortable truth. I love tiny sports cars, but even I have steadily shifted my attention to larger & larger vehicles. (A family of tall bicyclists has an objectively easier time in an Outback than a Samurai) The o

The market is a system that finds a price within a given context. If conditions allow for price opacity, the market will find a different price than if price transparency is forced. Both numbers can be described as a “market price”.

It’s a thought experiment. What are the reasons you aren’t paid for the value you create? Can you fix some of them? In this case, it’s postulated the biggest single factor is a monopsony.

People value music; subscriptions are widely successful. However, the platforms (aggregators) have a stronger market position than small artists (content producers). It strikes me as comparable to the Tivo problem, where they built somethin

IMO the reason that's so priceless is because of how little of it was recorded. If there existed a vast archive of footage displaying mundane normalcy, you would quickly tune out.

The legislature is supposed to move carefully, but it must still be able to actually legislate. US Congress, for example, is steadily passing fewer and fewer laws every year. If the current trend continues, fifty years from now Congress wil

It also implies that: 3) Children never argue in bad faith (e.g. as a hourslong stalling tactic at bedtime) 4) Children never argue during time sensitive disagreements (e.g. why do I have to get out of the street!?) 5) Children understand p

Possibly a natural consequence of gridlocked legislature or judiciary. If only the executive branch can get anything done, allowing overreach is the only way for government to continue functioning. That doesn't mean it's good, but

I don’t understand why LLM’s aren’t already set up to do what you describe automatically behind the curtain. Extract a math equation from text (LLMs are good at translating between languages right?) and immediately evaluate it on the host C

If power prices were negative at 5pm, I’d be pre-cooling my house like mad before the sun went down… in other words, demand can shift and houses can act as energy storage.

Every day in the United States, a large number of cars are being produced. Most of these cars never get sold to customers because people just can’t afford them. Oh yes, that makes perfect sense, every day they make 100 cars and then scrap

There are a ton more "features" in the OS Including things you like quite a bit, such as WiFi support, thread scheduling, and suspend modes that are worth a damn. XP could be snappy, but I haven't forgotten how poorly my ol

Perhaps because it doesn’t impact you until it does, and we can’t seem to agree on what exactly is causing these outcomes. It’s a legitimately tangled problem, and I do believe how to unwind it is not well understood by anyone. (Ignoring si

The positive side is supercomputers help us analyze the climate, the Atlantic current, and so forth. The negative side is they also help locate oil. Is it a win or loss on net? Hard to know. Thinking of entertainment, it probably IS a clima
