Some web research: Car insurance premiums grew 3.8% to 5.4% annually over 30 years, compared to 2.4% average inflation rate. Why? Complex technology and labor required to fix cars. Costly claims for rising medical bills, increased litigati

Philosophical perspective: I use AI a lot--I love its capabilities--and LLM's in themselves are the result of millions/billions of "averages" or clusters of things that have already occurred. But I think there's an

Side note: The federal government costs about $19 billion per day to operate based on an annual budget of roughly $7 trillion. So $1 billion is about equal to 4 hour hours of government spending.

I get it. But information is the backbone of this forum, so I personally don't stress about it. Maybe just a note that says "AI generated"? Perhaps soon people will just post "prompts" so we can look it up or gen

I went back to school in my 50's to learn how to teach. Two of the most important takeaways from that experience were: 1) learning how to learn; and 2) using projects to learn Writing about your experience in learning is also a powerf

According to the article, automation (including software) and other technology "advancements" are important factors. I think it's becoming clear that we are reaching a point where UBI must be debated in Congress subsidized by

I can't read the article, but if I were to venture a guess I would focus on these things for contributing to the loss of prestige: - falsification of research results from academic researchers - tuition increases at double the cost of

In my opinion, no coherent argument is made by the author for a "crisis" in classical liberalism. Liberalists still believe that things work better when society and the economy works things out with minimal state interference. Nei

You can predict by using one of several techniques: 1. Naive prediction: it will be similar to now 2. Linear regression: look at several parameters associated with LLM (speed, quality, accuracy, etc.) and create linear regressions from the

Use peers and friends for alpha testing. Beta testing should be reserved for your champions--those likely customers who love what you are offering. If you don't have customer discovery done yet, then that is an important next step.

I went for a 30 minute jog at lunch around 3 days a week for most of my career. As an engineer I was privileged to have that option. But today, even a 7-10 minute HIIT workout would be great for health and stress reduction.

I don't have a crystal ball, but based on similar historical scenarios, I think that one or two of these companies will win--probably because of some unique application, delivery or trade secret that will drive 80% of their revenue. Co

This is an excellent, delightful book filled with facts, opinions, humor and a level of expertise and diligence that in my opinion redefines how history should be written. This is one of my favorite history books--and I've read dozens
