I am curious what the difference between scraping and linking. I have a project that links to many different sites, but does not scrape the content. I have been accused of scraping because of the number of links. Some sites have rate lim

I try and find AI articles on publishing and libraries every day. This often is inclusive of books and business. Can you possibly add a literary or publishing category. There also need to be an energy, environment, and space categories.

There are a number of fairly good books on statistics. One of the best is How To Lie With Statistics by Darrell Huff which was written in 1954. There is also the Cartoon Guide to Statistics by Larry Gonick and Woolcott Smith. The problem

LLM writing is boring. Write it yourself. You are more interesting than a LLM because you make mistakes, do stupid things, don't go for the average content, and can be ridiculous in a way that an LLM can never be. LLMs are great for

There was an earlier article in Live Science which was also in Popular Science where AI designed computer chips which a human being might not make. I am assuming this might happen eventually with circuit boards and other electronics as we

This does not surprise me. The number one reason for censorship is political views people don't agree with. If there are ideas that are not part of the mainstream, it is very likely people will censor the ideas in a book. It does no

A couple interviews ago, I found myself in a situation where the zoom did not work. They sent me a list of questions to answer. Every single one of the questions was something I did not like doing. I ended the interview, I would have bee

I think it is too early to know. I think there will be new players emerging from Japan and Australia soon as well as the Nordic countries that will be competitive.

It depends on the skill level. A one person company is called a consultant, basically a person who is willing to do the things in the company that no one wants to do whether they are easy or hard. There is an irony in this. Often the mor

You might use Figma which is a specific design tool based on AI. There is a free version. It gave me enough to get some ideas on how to redesign part of the site I was working. Canva also has an AI design assistant. There are some speci

The library of congress is selective and does not have copies of every book ever written. They are quite clear about this in their selection process. This is a myth which sounds right, but is not accurate. They could not afford this, nor

There is also a matter of time. Some people don't get promoted until several years pass. If you look at a particular position or job listing, they say 3 years as a manager, 6 years doing Ruby. Find out the time requirements by readi
