I always like to cite Benford’s law for this one.

Yup! I’ve taught 4 kids with this method. A year or 2 on the balance bike, 2-ish weeks with training wheels and then take the training wheels off and they get it within 5-10 minute…

Yeah when the CORN-FREAKING-CRETE skyscraper crowd funding video comes out we can all be more skeptical than we were for SOLAR-FREAKING-ROADWAYS.

Care to expand on this thought? Curious what you have in mind!

Another example that happens surprisingly often in healthcare. A registration clerk will incorrectly enter a personal health number (PHN) into the system. Then the actuall holder o…

It’s a nice closed loop now so it’s inevitable that ai generated content will win google search. One can pump out content, see how it scores, and iterate until they have an ai trai…

How close to the king are they covering? .0000001 units? The king can move .00000009 units. You can always make a smaller real number.

I feel like this will make those who are scared so much more suspicious. They’ll think “There’s no free lunch so why are you bribing me to get something? It must be really bad if y…

“Until you figure out where the no free lunch theorem has stashed the harm” is a saying I will be using for the rest of my days.

These kinds of studies often feel like the result of some p-hacking. Take a smallish sample size from a population of interest, record a bunch of data on them, then pick the result…

I have an 8 month old and just the other day was thinking how are they able to make these things so cheaply? Seriously for 80 cents a day I can avoid the nightmare of cloth diapers…

Wait are you telling me that every wasted minute you have at work isn’t due to file hosting issues? Personally I feel that if people designed digital spaces with as much care as th…

Like most hard things in life the most honest advice anyone can give you is stop worrying about getting stuck, embrace confusion and learn to love being lost. If you can learn to n…

There is all sorts of money to be made on the moon. You can be a moon welder, you can lead EVAs for groups of tourists, you can even be a smuggler and sneak in Cuban cigars to the …

But the goal here really isn’t to minimize the number of pieces used. It is to minimize total cost of covering the space. This makes things much more complex as it turns into some …

I like the app but am offended by the idea of stars being made from cosmic dust. Can you add a divine intervention option?

So my sister went 14/18. She says, "The jazz ones are very obvious. Also the voicing of the parts in the first chunk of songs was more nuanced with the human than the AI. The jazz …

First off super cool project with impressive results!! I am not a musician but I was fairly reliably (>75%) able to identify the NN. It took listening to a few examples but I quick…
