I'm not sure that's true. Andrew Gelman once mentioned that Black Swan events are actually routinely _overpriced_ via the Longshot Bias. [1] He had talked about this in the context…

An interesting business idea if not a depressing future. Doesn't Amazon do this in a way? I've seen prices for kindle books change depending on if I'm logged in or not, and not alw…

Not beyond 14 in my experience. Honestly, I probably spent far too much time hanging out in parking lots. I grew up in NJ and I am currently 22 in my last year of University so I'm…

I agree. I've seen a lot of people who have no intention of "settling down" or "having kids" become surprised when their peers who do exactly that become more "successful" (earn mo…

I'm surprised that more people don't know about lists, it seems like Twitter doesn't promote it as much as they should.

That video is fantastic I watched it a week or so ago. Your explanation also explains why computer performed music is so off. It still has that uncanny valley effect. So when Sony …

Any reason why this is incompatible with the iPhone 5c?

I never knew you could get a job writing automation scripts. That's pretty cool.

Sort of asked before, but does anybody have experience with packet.net as a cloud host?

I think times were a bit different then. People are bracing for a major change to the automotive business between autonomous driving and electric cars.

There's a certain level of intuition that one can grasp with hardware as opposed to software. I suspect this might contribute to most robustness in design.

This looks a _lot_ like word2vec applied in large scale to me. [1] I have a feeling Google already does this. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word2vec

I think the bigger idea is to think outside the box. Apple has stacks of cash to experiment with. This is precisely the sort of thinking it should take into consideration, spending…

where can you get offered a Lifetime Employment Contract?

Does anybody use R in production services or just for exploratory work? It seems that once you figure out a good model in R, its almost always rewritten into either Scala or Java f…

I seem to recall reading that the original IBM PC was still in use at United States National Weather Service outposts. Why fix it if it isn't broken?

If you got to the youtube video [1], you'll see that the song was produced and arranged by a human. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSHZ_b05W7o

ok that I knew, I suppose you could compile python via C, at least theoretically.

Is there a guide to doing this? I'm curious to know, the pebble seems like a closed system so it would be hard to "just run micropython" on it vs. something more open.

Box isn't private, they IPO'ed around a year and a half ago I believe.

Its so bizarre to me. You'd think there would be a finite appetite for advertising, but apparently not.

This seems to confirm just how important the price of data is for ML & AI based startups. Methinks there is a market alone for data companies, not even those that are necessarily d…
