My wife owns a business in a highly AI-resistant field (occupational therapy) in the most historically price-insensitive market (Silicon Valley). Her CAGR is 88% over the last 8 years. But we were talking about this economy problem today and with the SWE layoffs starting to roll through she said this morning: "It doesn't matter if AI can't replace us if no one can afford the service." That's crazy. Shit has changed. Not getting OT for your autistic kid is like not getting a wheel chair for a bilateral below-the-knee amputee. Whatever it takes.
GAF did. There are two issues: 1) too expensive 2) not modular. I like that I can separate my solar decision from my roof decision. Panels make that possible.
This will get downvoted to oblivion, but consider a major change: enlist in the military, sign up for a stint on a commercial fishing vessel, or go work as a firefighter. You will have tons of time with other people, even live with them for extended periods, but they will also tend to respect your space.
that sounds plausible. For people not tracking, the concept of intelligence at play is "object based development". One analyst drops a label, brief synopsis, whatever, and it just sits there for the next person who comes along. The world view gets more accurate over time, but there's a recency error that's hard to measure until the probability function collapses with a measurement.
Is that true? I can imagine it's true at first, going from zero bits of information to 1, etc. But information rots over time, and eventually a collection of old information may rot faster than new information improves the world view.
Also, the overall world view isn't especially important, at least not in this case. Each element's accuracy is what's important.
Hopefully each tag is accompanied by a date, at least.
Table 1 and Figure 4: why are the Virginia controlled-access highways different? That population stands out in a way that smells like either a cultural difference or a policy difference.
I spend most of my time in California, have lived in SoCal and NorCal, and I spend a fair chunk of time driving around Virginia. My guess is that there's something fishy with the Virginia data being reported. Because if there is anyplace on earth with an insane number of controlled access roads, it's gotta be NVA/DC metro area (or the Tri-Border Area as I like to call it).
Also, they need to either update the caption for Figure 4, or move the plots to correspond with the caption. Clearly the Virginia data is on top (or the code is wrong, which seems exceedingly unlikely).
