I got a hold of my old copy of the book and wanted to share an excerpt from the first page: > Searching memory might be compared to throwing the beam of a strong light, from your hilltop campsite, back over the road you traveled by day.

I can think of one great example of this. Charles Lindbergh won the Pulitzer prize in 1954 for his Spirit of St. Louis autobiography. He worked on it for 15 years and refused to use a ghost writer, and the result was a masterpiece. Betwee

Isn't it just the bloodflow within the brain that we're observing? We'll never be able to read a mind based on fMRI-style data any more than we'll be able to judge the ongoings of America by the headlights on the highway

I was wondering about this too, the way they plugged old K80's at the end for non-deep-learning applications. Either they're clever about keeping multiple product lines alive (more profits!) or it's a big cop-out (they'r

I'd trust McDonald's buns and meat to contain LESS preservatives and other bizarre compounds than a pack of burger bread and patties that I'd pick up at my local grocery store. The main reason is that McDonald's is a wel

The point you make about hiring ordinary people is an important one. The timeless, old essay "Why I Never Hire Brilliant Men"[1] makes a lot of great arguments to this end. The meat of the essay comes down to this quote: Business
