I feel we are witnessing what happened to the newspaper once again. Only this time there is an interesting twist: manufacturers have been bailed out. Will the government step in again? No one knows.

I do STEM Q&A sessions at schools various times a year. I cannot mentor anyone at the moment, but I could schedule time and do a Q&A session with them. No strings attached. Email in profile. Disclaimer: I work in Ed-Tech. This is in

There is a real risk related to goal oriented AI. It does not need to feel or dream. Merely having survival as its goal is sufficient to make it dangerous to other life forms. Worse is that it can happen at any time (it may have happened al

This sentence[1] from his website always makes me chuckle: Although my professional truck-driving career was brief, I did learn enough to do a nearly perfect double-clutch with a non-synchromesh transmission, while driving up a hill on a f

Sometimes we just want to do something new for a short time. It might be to try some new library or language. Thats ok. Learn to identify what is a short term project (I want to learn how to do n with python) and a long term project ( I wan
