I use LLMs to answer certain questions, but those are often questions that I wouldn't have bothered using a search engine for in the past, rather I would have asked a colleague or just thought through the question on my own. And when I

The average income of FT readers is £221k [0] and the average income of WSJ readers is $234k [1]. I'm guessing the average reader of most online only newspapers is closer to the US median of $74k [2]. These readers belong to different

The problem isn't that he was wrong, but that his method of reasoning about risk is dangerously flawed. Of course, you won't get much of that analysis in a buzzfeed article, but I recommend this article by Nassim Taleb: https:&#x

This is a tragedy in its own right. Small businesses create richer communities and help stave off cultural homogeneity. They can be a source of pride for locals. They help de-centralize economic power. I hope we can find a way to rebuild wh

From a business perspective, the volatility of Silver's models seem like a feature - they enhance the drama / sensationalism of election coverage. One week, he's telling me candidate X will likely win, the next week it's

Okay, but the problem is, 45-60 minutes is usually all hiring managers have to assess a candidate. What can you do in that amount of time to assess someone‘s real world performance? Having a high level conversation about technology and prob

What, to your mind, are good reasons for non-competes? To me it just looks like rent-seeking. Do you see any negative consequences in states that have banned them almost entirely, such as California?
