Hotels need to have flight-style pricing. Remember back in the 2000s when Spirit Airlines would advertise $9 flights, that only at the very last moment of the checkout stage would have a government compliance fee, all taxes, gas costs, flig

Ah, that Wikipedia article changed since last time. Which does illustrate the OP's point. Thanks for the correction. Still, Wahlberg did some terrible stuff and basically just said "forgiving myself is enough".

I think misanthropes aren't being enabled by articles like the above. Many of them honestly don't care deep down about the damage they do. Others like Mark Wahlberg just "forgive themselves" for blinding a neighbor as a

I think it just happens in this case that the pie-maximizing-in-cooperative-state behaviour == not duplicating mining efforts == China favoring. An opposite argument could be make for semiconductors. In that case, the environmental approac

Honestly I chalk this one up mostly to just international trade mercantilism. The EU relatively weaker at developing international software, so slapping "antitrust fines" on Microsoft (which probably have nonzero merit) is a good

Except your conclusion of US inflation being huge doesn't square out in the data: Eurozone inflation 2008 to today has been 33% US inflation 2008 to today has been 42%. This doesn't square with your implication that the US infla

Seems like the literature has a pretty good empirical understanding of the divergence of these two words. I wouldn't say "no" possibility, but it seems like an interesting lay theory can be true a startling fraction of the ti

Truly an allocation with zero or negative net value. Wouldn't they relatively be equal off if the latency for all firms was increased by say 100ms.

I mean it sort of is true. If you're at 100THz, you can get a bandwidth of 1THz. If you're at 100KHz, you are not going to get a bandwidth of 1THz.

I appreciate the thought experiment of considering whether we would truly act differently in difficult circumstances, as most never engage in that level of self-reflection. However, this article seems to beg the question. Specifically, it s

Every time something like this makes the news, I would like to ask: 1. How many total vehicle-miles have this level of autonomous vehicles driven in all of history? 2. How many times has an incident like this happened? 3. Now what's th

If First Republic could say they could meet all depositor demands, they would have. But instead this is the most they can say to stave off a run. And to their credit, the fact that they're not tech heavy means the tech firms pulling f

Counterpoint: This WSJ Article [1] and their latest 10Ks confirm that: - Their actual assets market-to-market (sold on the fair market) is about $26 bln less than the amount they're carried at on their books. This is as of year end 20

What's the rate of Bing chat spitting out vitriol against an actual search-intentioned query? (And not some edge case that a prompt engineer designed, like a real person putting a real search) As one sample point, I've been using

To your point. I find the 2+2=5 cases more interesting, and would like to see more of those: when does it happen? When is ChatGPT most useful? Most deceptive? The 80085 case is only interesting insofar as it reveals weaknesses in the too

All these ChatGPT gone rogue screenshots create interesting initial debate, but I wonder if it's relevant to their usage as a tool in the medium term. Unhinged Bing reminds me of a more sophisticated and higher-level version of getting

The article argues that nonhuman animals play. This is probably true. The article implies that the play is "for no other purpose than fun", specifically it's not an evolutionary adaption. This is probably false. Mainly beca

I have to really disagree with this. This isn't something like a microwave we're talking about where the tech hasn't changed in decades. This is literally something on the bleeding edge of chips and technology, where the ab

The correlation coefficient is actually about 0.23 according to the paper. It just looks really correlated when they bin it by deciles but that's a visual artefact. If you plotted individual people in a scatter plot this is what 0.2

As Warren Buffett famously said, he's so wealthy because he happens to be born into a society with a well-developed but modestly inefficient stock market, and that's the area he likes to obsess about. He reckons that less than 10

It's not a surprise that cognitive ability (the paper seems to define it as relatively close to classical IQ) is not highly correlated with earning ability or even value production for society. I would argue that a much better correlan
