The digital service did great work modernizing digital infrastructure of citizen-facing federal services. AFAIK, it has *never* been stated publicly that DOGE or Mr. Musk would get control of this most essential service, responsible for sou

The question is not average cost but marginal cost of quality - same as voice recognition, which had relatively low uptake even at ~2-4% error rates due to context switching costs for error correction. So you'd have to account for the

This is a great opportunity for developers to rebuild with greater density. It's not clear how extraordinary the losses are - by how much home insurance losses actually outpace home-price inflation (not CPI). For the moment let's

The domain (digital) might be less important than the role. As a contributor, you have to be an expert, but you're really not on the hook. As a decider, you can be a generalist, but you're on the hook. The traditional mid-life tra

The opportunity here is to automate detection of fake data used in papers. I could be hard to do without access to data and costly integration. And like shorting, the difficulty is how to monetize. It could also be easy to game. Still...

With consulting, you're responsible for finding and securing all your opportunities. With work, they're fed to you (at volume!). Don't underestimate the opportunity cost of any decision. Right now with such broad tech+busine

Apple opposed all 4 shareholder proposals. They all seem political: DEI, AI ethics, child sex abuse, and charitable giving. It's hard to imagine: one of the largest companies in the world, devices literally used actively by over a bil

It's worse than that. At all times, every single one of the billions of participants acts like a bureaucrat, delaying response until it's unavoidable and then resting afterwards at least half the time. If only we could cut throug

"At their core, guidelines are decision trees" That's wishful and perhaps not even helpful as a goal. Guidelines rarely have the data to cover all possible legs of decisions. They report on well-supported findings, offer exp

I think you're talking about the differencing between coding and writing systems, which means you're talking teams, not individuals. Rarely, systems can be initiated by individuals, but the vast, vast majority are built and mainta

Careers are future-proofed through relationships and opportunities, not skills. Skills are just the buy-in. Getting and nailing a good opportunity opens doors for a fair bit, but that's rare. So the vast, vast majority of future-proof

Opinions sans reputation or data can still be helpful when they identify the landscape and issues, e.g.,: A main goal of design is to identify what's not feasible through logic. So much easier than prototyping. But still "can it

Does it help to explore the annoyance using gap analysis? I think of it as heuristics. As with humans, it's the pragmatic "whatever seems to work" where "seems" is determined via training. It's neither reaso

I don't think you have to argue for junk DNA to state that the article in question fails utterly to explain the findings except by way of not being the straw-man "junk". Yes, we find the significance of DNA by knocking it out

The analogy to Rome is inapt. We're highly dependent on external capital, technologies, materials, and resources -- not to mention goodwill enabling trade and avoiding social chaos. All of these can and do change in a matter of months

Hasn't a language feature failed if even experts disagree on it? How would lay developers ever use it? This is not an algorithmic nicety; it's supposed to be second nature to write and automatic to read. And it seems weird to om
