Most companies that survive to become late stage, raising several and increasingly large multi-million dollar rounds, have found product market fit. Not all, but most. In B2C, this is true almost by definition. So I think Sam's comment

Primo Levi and Paul Celan are both excellent, excellent writers. Any one who wants to learn about the Holocaust should read Levi's "If This Is a Man" and "The Truce". And Paul Celan's poem "Todesfuge"

Greg Borenstein, the author of this Medium post, is a researcher at MIT Media Lab, so we can assume he's a smart guy. The post is well-written in the sense that the sentences flow well from one to the next -- but they also contain some

The skills gap is very real in America, too. It can be hard to find the people you need. And many of the folks who are out of work don't fit the bill. There are specific training programs, sponsored by large companies, that are trying

I really wish technical people would explain what they mean when they say AI, and quickly name which algorithms they're using. If they don't, it's just clickbait.

I actually think the headline, which the writer may not have chosen herself, is a bad description of the post. The irony of a article about writing somehow missing le mot juste... It's not about handbooks; it's about the blurry ed

People mean different things when they say "writer," and it's worthwhile untangling a few different types. * Writers who make a living writing * Writers who don't (yet) * Fiction writers: Novelists and short-story writer

There is an analogy to be drawn between software and societies, and they way their early adaptations to one environment block their later adaptions to another.

As one who has lived abroad a long time, I can simply affirm that one's cultural and national identity are heavier than a passport. Murdoch spent much of his childhood and early adult life in Australia, where he still owns property, op

by vonnik 10y ago
Speaking as an American, that's been our loss. National identity, to be clear, is not just legal but cultural. In that light, Murdoch will always be in some way Australian.

Europe's longest period of peace correlates with the existence of the EU. Most EU citizens have never known war. Not knowing what the EU protects them from, they feel they have nothing to lose by leaving it. There is nothing "inev

There are always benefits to being inside something. If you are a citizen of the EU, you have the right to work in any of the member states. US citizens do not have that right, and many waste long years trying to acquire it. It is likely th

Independence is a mirage, as is control. No individual nor country in the world is independent. We are all interdependent on one another, and ever more so as the movement of data, goods and people accelerates. The EU is a framework is facil

I'm singling out Bostrom because he attempts to predict events over a much larger timescale, which diminishes the value of those predictions, because they are contingent on so many other developments we can't know. LeCun and Ng, a

One of the most striking things about this piece is the difference between the claims of AI practitioners and pundits. LeCun and Ng are making precise, and much more modest, claims about the future of AI, even if Ng is predicting a deep shi

by vonnik 10y ago
The long-term future of AI is not a subject that allows for expertise. We simply cannot know what will happen, and in what context AI will develop. So Bostrom is no more an expert in that field than a corner-store psychic is an expert on pr
