Re:The Language of Thought Is Not Natural Language

Research summary is very good. But not seeing an abstract syntax for the distinct representational format:
Conclusions. Our results provide evidence against the hypothesis that natural language serves as the medium of abstract logical reasoning and suggest that such reasoning is underpinned by a distinct representational format.
Nevertheless, a good read that summarizes conventional learning and reasoning methods.

Gregg helped me and my team many times - pro bono. I once made a silly typo in some code that he kindly reviewed. When he found the error, he pointed to it with a wink. Always helpful on big stuff and small stuff. His tools are first class. And I had an online dialog with him within the last 2 months and had no idea about his condition. Will miss him.

Scott Galloway made his bones with similar WeWork analysis.
Once Galloway exposed the non-sustainable WeWork economics, others picked up his work and added their own spin.
While WeWork would have imploded without the Galloway analysis, Scott's articles were the tipping point.

Re:55% of workers say their pay isn't keeping up with inflation
on Thursday December 07, 2023 @07:02AM (#38555461)
Inflation is a government policy. It is a method to deflate the real value of government debt.
Like many government policies, unintended consequences generate headlines about how one policy negatively affects part of a society that another policy is working to protect.
At a macro level, government debt can only be resolved two ways: increase taxes to meet maturing obligations; reduce the real value of the obligations via inflation (and/or a combination of the two).
Future economist will have two national debt policies to analyze: Germany (with its constitutional low-debt mandate) and US which discovered over time that it could issue debt at far greater amounts than previous economist ever thought possible.

When testing the wework link i get this message: `<title>Worker threw exception | api.siteview.app | Cloudflare</title> (more ...)`. Does curl need additional information to escape this type of response? Do you use a curl alternative?

Once managed tech for an insurance actuarial department. We ran IBM DB2 for underwriting and claims apps. One day had lunch with the actuarials to make friends and make sure we were supporting them well. At one point in the conversation I foolishly asked whether they also would like to access DB2 to minimize data transfers. They laughed and said: "SQL is like drinking data through a straw. We use APL so we can drink it all at once." I felt like a rookie at spring training.

Similar idea about corn. Select the corn with insects - they are your taste testers. Of course, remove the critters before boiling your corn-on-the-cob.
