Probably best to start here with the original paper and then search for related material as the idea has been kicked around for a while: http://www.marketingvp.com/download/mer-data.pdf

This is ignoring the Marketing to Engineering ratio. For most recent history technology companies have had to spend at least as much on marketing as engineering in order to survive, and two to ten times as much spent on marketing as engine

Seems like most uses for hallucinating bullshitters that steal intellectual property are going to require significant human oversight, likely often multiple levels of human review, with almost everything they do that has value.

It is the language, available tools and libraries, and the community. As a programming snob the fact that most of my coding is now done in Javascript is a threat to my identity managed with a handful of clearly reasoned explanations. This

There are some subtleties here. One of my friends and I are both interested in camping and outdoor gear. This keeps causing YouTube to recommend videos on prepping and guns. Go ahead and block channels and select less of this and it sort of

This is a great technology and has clearly made great strides, but at this time it is hard to trust. These vehicles have had many problems that human drivers do not. Problems with maps can cause dozens of them to collect in dead end alley

There is some really good analysis of this. In particular Geoffrey West's recent book--he also has a bunch of videos on YouTube summarizing key points.

That is sloppy thinking. If you have private property and the ability to profit from labor then you have Capitalism. The need to regulate architectural liabilities goes back as far as history. The current thinking that any regulation impede

The main environmental problem is not the rigs themselves, but the wells and transportation pipeline network of which they were a part. Systems for making sure wells are safely capped at end of life are not robust. Pipelines have similar

Keep the focus on the evidence and the science. We have Picketty's book on Capital, Peter Turchin's research exposing elite capture and elite overreach, and perhaps most important the experience of digging our way out of the grea

The idea that paleo/keto is all buttered meat is strange and fairly recent, with wish fulfillment probably being strongly involved. Meat would have been a luxury not available for all meals so other tissues like tendon, tripe, and ski

The two go together. Living with water requires control of breathing. Hunting animals on land requires strong endurance and probably also an ability to carry water.

Exactly what finasteride does is not well understood. It effects the endocrine system, but not in consistent ways, and with some possibly serious side effects. It is being aggressively marketed as a way to stop hair loss, but may do vario

Unfortunate that there is so much focus on treatment of advanced symptoms. Cataracts may be caused in part by metabolic disease which can be detected and treated before cataracts develop. Kind of reminds me of how my great grandfather wou

Americans will suffer consequences to be sure, but awareness still doesn't have great odds in this environment.

Waymo is very impressive, but also demonstrates limitations of these systems. Waymo vehicles are still getting caught performing unsafe driving maneuvers, they get stuck alleys in numbers, and responders have trouble getting them to acknow

What gets me about all this are the odd crossovers. There is a gay man who works out and dresses in masculine drag like Levi's and flannel and ends up with his image frequently used to promote right wing messages. And hyper masculine

This is a very intense piece, but misses some critical points. Germany after WWI was suffering terribly under reparations that European Allies and the US insisted on. Previously wealthy professionals went broke and begged in the streets f

In a way this is more like Perl's maketext or maybe Mozilla Fluent. Reasonable translations need to be constructed using variable inputs and correct messages can vary greatly between languages with grammar agreement and such. While g

AUS-10 steel is fairly easy to sharpen, so stones are a good option but I prefer diamond sharpeners myself.

Capitalism is a system. When you burn your food that is not end stage cooking, but a failure to manage cooking as a system. When your worn tires blow out while speeding causing you to fly off the road that is not end stage vehicular mobil

Sort of related: It is interesting how even heavily symbolic programs can be translated into relatively plain language and from there into other languages. But from there complexity explodes as any real use must address essential challenges

Didn't have every aspect nailed? Definitely trailblazers? Quibi is a prime example of an absolute business wipeout. They got a bunch of investor money together, showed no interest in what viewers actually want, and then went down in

Many here are restricting the domain to engineering which makes the real bottlenecks disappear. A good reminder of the larger context is Ralph Grabowski's Marketing to Engineering ratio. Companies that spend less on marketing that en

The high speed rail comparison is a good example of how this view is as flawed as the idea that China makes cheap crap. China spent around a trillion dollars worth of conjured financial assets on their high speed rail network. The result
